I'm doing a job tomorrow that has a TV/Surround sound, a 2nd TV on a back wall (using TV speakers), and 1 zone of audio. The customer wants to have only 1 remote. Not a problem, I can make it work, but I'm not sure the best way to lay out the remote so that it makes sense for him to work.
Equipment going in... Sony LCD Onkyo rcvr (w/ 2nd zone audio) Panasonic plasma 2 FIOS boxes (1 dedicated for each TV) Blu-ray (HDMI split to both TVs) Sirius tuner T2-C RP-6/RM-433
My first thought is to set it up normally (for the surround sound system) but to put a button on the home page that takes you to the 2nd TV & audio zone controls.
I suppose I just need a push in the right direction. I'm not even sure what to call the 2nd TV yet! It's on the back wall of the basement rec room where the surround stuff is, but is on an articulating arm and could be for the bar or could be turned the other way towards the playroom.
