Hi All,
I'm new to this forum so please bear with me and thanks in advance for your help.
I've just purchased an AVR and 5.1 speaker system.
My proposed setup is this...AVR and TV are in different locations in my living room due to existing speaker cabling locations. I plan to put all sources directly into AVR in a stack. I will put HDMI over Cat5e using a pair of baluns.
Here's my problem...I have one Cat5e cable going from AVR location to switch room...and a separate pair of Cat5e's running from switch room back to TV location. I've been reading online that you can't 'join' AV over IP using a switch as the AV signal won't carry.
If I can't patch the Cat5e's using a switch or something else, my last resort is to run a new Cat5e cable from AVR to TV around the skirting/architrave/windows/etc which is a little problematic in terms of routing, but possible.
Can anyone offer help or advice on this please?
Thanks again in advance.
Arjan
