It IS rather a run, but see my posting on UKHA (Medieval Home

I'd not picked up that you had your pure audio sources going straight
into the amp (as you said, you'd already said what was happening with
the DVD). I don't have that setup and that's exactly my problem -
the tuner and CD player will be some way away from the amp, with
audio sent over KAT5

I suppose I could take the audio out from the TV and route it over
KAT5 to the central switcher (Keith's famous device) and then back to
the amp as just another source. Convuluted, but gives me the
flexibility I need.

Oh yes!
