I need help distributing 5.1 audio from 1 receiver to 2 different sets of 5.1 speakers systems on two different floors. I need the audio to play on only 1 floor at a time.
On the one floor there's a 50 inch LCD TV and 5.1 speaker system.
On the other floor there is an Epson projector and a different set of 5.1 speakers. The receiver, Xbox, DVD player, and cable box are located in the equipment closet in the basement. All of the equipment is controlled through an infrared blaster from either floor, but I can't find the right switch or equipment to let me use only 1 set of 5.1 speakers at a time. I use zone A from the receiver for 5.1 speakers and zone B for stereo outside speakers. I need some way to externally switch the speakers from one floor to the other. We watch TV, Xbox on one floor, but watch movies on the projector on the other. Previously I had duplicate sets of receivers, cable boxes...etc on each floor. I want to consolidate to one system. I can't find anybody who sells a simple A/B switch to switch the 5.1 speaker systems.
All of the switches I find are for 2 in 1 out, or 1 in multiple stereo out. Any help or suggestions?
