Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking. ATM, I have intersekt piping DVD
audio around the house, Yamaha AC3 amp doing the duty for the video
signals &amp; AC-3 audio, and by connecting the DVD to the video, I can
watch DVD in the bedroom on crappy RF.
I want to replace RF with KAT5.

I don't need to.
If I select DVD to play in the bedroom, then the intersekt will output
the DVD audio to the bedroom zone.
If I then decide to listen to the radio in the bedroom, it will output
the radio to the bedroom zone.
Either way, the input on your switch should be routed to what it knows
as the bedroom zone.
Each output zone on the intersekt would be connected to a different
input on the KAT5 switch.
It is the intersekt that will differentiate between the various audio
sources. The switch just needs to know that input 1 always goes to
output 1, input 2 to output 2 etc....

Or am I missing something here?
