This is a simple setup. Basically the Dining & Kitchen were intended to be one big zone with a single PTL4. The client is wanting to separte the zones but be able to link them back up when desired.
Basically the link would really just be to turn the 2nd zone on and make the volume control become a master for the two zones together. Maybe it would be easier to just add a volume UP/Down for the OTHER zone?
Using 1 touchpanel for 2 zones means you have to have a "choose a room" button. Also wanting to have control of both zones at the same time means you need something like this on the home page.
You can have 3 copies of every source in the GUI with the specific button you pressed linking to them. So CD_zone1 CD_zone2 CD_zoneall are exactly the same except volume control is set for the zone/s you selected initially. This is the old school one-way system style of multiroom control before flags.
I dont know enough about true creston programming to get the terminology correct but i know that you dont need to do this. You can have that single room button press "tell" the system what its doing. I dont know how to do this with system builder.
