RE: Looping Receivers

[Keith Doxey]

Shouldnt be any noticable problems as long as the patch leads on the
intermediate units are short. You can get 0.5m leads which if the TV is
infront of the socket will be plenty.

Using a 5m patch lead on intermediate units probably would give some
ghosting.

Cool ... hadn't thought of doing it behind the jack. This is good for the
future as once the switcher is out then the second set of cables can be
disconnected and an additional jack installed in the plate using that
cable.
Would there be any problems with T'ing off in this way - I know that SCSI
doesn't like this.
