Hello all:
I use a slink-e to run my home audio system. The master audio signal is
piped into four rooms, each room with its own IR port and volume control. I
have set up multiple identical "universal remotes" to control CDJ from each
room (mostly to control basic functions such as play, stop, cue up stored
playlists, etc.).
Everything works great!
The one thing that I would like to add is the ability to use that same
remote to turn on and off the audio in each room. Currently, I have a
manual switchbox in the family room (next to the receiver) that can turn on
or off the audio signal each of the four rooms. (Some rooms have manual
override for local sources such as TVs.)
Here's a good example of why I want this ripped from my life as it was just
half an hour ago. I had returned from my workout. I wanted to take a
shower. From the master bedroom, I cue up a CD to play it. Problem is:
Laurie is down in the family room on the phone and all of a sudden I'm
blaring music at her as well. So I have to go downstairs and manually turn
off all but the master bedroom/bathroom.
I'd like to be able to do this from the bedroom.
Any ideas?
