Hello all. I hope somebody on this forum will have some guidance for me regarding using this receiver with a 4 zone whole home audio setup. 4 rooms in my home are prewired for whole house audio. The system is made by OnQ-Legrand, and is called the Lyriq 4 source 4 zone home audio system. This system uses cat5 wiring to transmit the audio and power to the 4 rooms in the house. Then each room has an amplified key pad that is wired to the speakers in each individual room. I am trying to determine if this Denon 4308 AVR will be appropriate for whole house audio. THe Lyriq system allows each of the 4 rooms to switch between whatever 4 sources (cd player, AVR, satelite radio) are connected to the Lyriq system. That way room 1 can listen to the cd player while room 2 listens to the radio etc. Here is my question though. Do my other components ( ie the cd player and satelite radio) now get connected to the Lyriq source module, or do the cd player and satelite radio still get connected to the AVR? I can not find out what each individual source needs connected to in order to be able to switch sources in each of the 4 rooms. If the cd player and satelite radio are connected to the Lyriq system then i dont see how I will be able to switch between the sources by using the buttons on the front of the Denon AVR which controls a 5.1 surround system in my family room. Any advice?
