Hello Ceied; I understand where you are coming from, but you need to understand I enjoy learning about this stuff. It is my hobby. It is not about "getting it to work". It's about me getting it to work. Also I have met a lot of real nice, knowledgeable folks on this website. To hire a person would defeat the reason I ask so many questions. This my sound corny but is the pure joy of learning about home audio/video that I love. For me it is all about pressing a button on a remote and having the system do exactly what you want it to do. You pros take that for granted, but as a novice when, you do your research and get 4 zones of av to work flawlessly it is a real kick to me. If I did not have to work for a living I would like to take Cedia courses. Since I do have to work I guess I'll keep listening to the pros and learn on my own. In the meantime I say thanks to all you pros for your very kind assistance. I've learned a lot from you pros and I say thank you so much.
