Hi,
This is my first post as a new avforums user.
I've just completed my house renovation and am now onto the exciting bit of connecting and configuring the home AV setup. I am told I have quite an advanced design in that I'm sending Sky HD to three different rooms, two of which I'm routing via an Onkyo tx-nr828 amp which is in a different room. Everything is linked via cat6 and I'm using Neet baluns with IR and a Neet splitter. The setup has been temperamental when introducing the splitter but works fine with direct balun connection. I also have a Neet 4x2 matrix which I haven't used yet but can introduce if needed.
I also have in-ceiling 5.1 speakers which work fine through the Onkyo amp on zone 1 and 4 in-ceiling speakers in kitchen for zone 2 and using a QED SS30 speaker switch can only get one pairs of speakers working. Have heard of zone 2 audio problems when taking hdmi feeds therefor any guidance appreciated.
My Installer hasn't worked with Neet products before but said they look fine and have no problems point to point but the splitter is suspected as causing issues. Originally recommended Wyrestorm QI matrix but couldn't justify paying 5x what I have with Neet given I'm only wanting to replicate source input and not independent source viewing.
I've run multiple cat6 cables between sky box to amp and then amp to zone 1 and zone 2 so no restrictions there.
1) any advice on getting around the splitter problem with temperamental connection?
2) any advice on fixing the zone 2 audio problem (only one pair working). This might be a problem with the amp though as I can't get a working connection from RH zone 2 speaker connection?
3) anyone know of smaller IR receptors that are compatible with Neet baluns.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
