My home is pre-wired for ceiling speakers in multiple rooms. I recently picked up a AVR to put in a 5.1 system in the hall. My media sources are CD/DVD/NAS streamed files with a Dune frontend.
My question is:
1) To power the speakers in all the other rooms - can I simply connect it to the AVR? The AVR is a SC LX 85 9.2 , so there are a few spare channels on this one. But I don't want to run the 5.1 and the room music at the same time. So do I need to buy another amp?
2) The idea is to be able to select the music for both the 5.1 and the other rooms from the dune frontend itself (makes it easier for the family) - how and what do I need to pull it off?
Thanks
