Correct.<BR>> <BR>> By IR remote control or by RS232 from
your HA controller.<BR>> <BR>> the switcher will feed
received IR through to the source equipment to <BR>> allow control
of its functions. You will need a Universal Remote eg <BR>>
One4All or Pronto etc.<BR>> <BR>> HTH<BR>>
<BR>> Keith<BR>> <BR>> Am I right in
thinking......... <BR>> >&nbsp; <BR>> > The
KAT5 switcher (when ready ????????.........) will enable <BR>>
equipment such<BR>> > as DVD players, SKY Digiboxes to be
distributed over cat5 to any TV <BR>> with a<BR>> >
KAT5 receiver. AND...... I could connect a CD Player or Radio Tuner
<BR>> and have<BR>> > say the CD Player playing
through the Living Room speakers AND the <BR>>
Kitchen<BR>> > Speakers at differe
nt volumes???? BUT being controlled by how?<BR>> >&nbsp;
