I am setting up my home audio for TV/Music and am looking for advice for what exactly I need. I am pretty much a novice when it comes to audio, but I bet some one who knowledgable on the subject could figure it out pretty easy.
Some info: My home (a 2 bedroom flat condo) is wired for in ceiling speakers and I am looking to set it up so I can have two zones: One in the living/dining room area, and one in the master bedroom, and play in each independently through airplay.
I have a 'smart tv' and Apple TV. I need a receiver in the living room. I am thinking if I get a receiver that has Airplay (I was considering the Sony STRDN1030 because it has wifi), I can access my audio/video content through my iPad/iMac/iPhone, and use the receiver to toggle the two rooms. Perhaps some app on my Apple devices (or even a universal remote) to play content through the receiver for just one zone. For instance, play the audio for a movie in just the living room area, or music just in the master bedroom area. I figure this is a fairly basic concept, and with wifi TV/Receiver, and a suite of Apple devices it could get done pretty easy.
If anyone has any advice/tips for the actual setup process, or specific equipment (I am not an Audiophile, but good quality movie audio and music is what I am looking for), I would really appreciate the help. Thanks!
