Let me start with my praise of all that the folks behind Slimdevices have done! I've been an enthusiastic user since the SB2 came out and take advantage of Nokia 770 control and SSH web streaming to Softsqueeze as well as the XM Radio plugin.
The application I have in mind with the Duet is a to hide the duet receiver in a closet with a standard Denon stereo receiver. I'd like the Duet remote to be able to control volume and switch power to the Denon. Denon on-off should be linked to on-off of the Duet receiver. irt system volume, I'd like the RCA analog output of the Duet receiver to be fixed and for the Duet remote to vary the volume of the Denon. I use this functionality today with the SB2 & Felix's fine IR Blaster plugin. My understanding is that the Duet remote DOES have an IR emitter and that it will soon be enabled to control the SB1/2/3 via IR and that it COULD be enabled to control 3rd party equipment within line of site (NG for stuff in a closet). The Duet receiver DOES NOT have IR blasting capability in its hardware implementation. I can use a Duet controller with a SB2/3 along with the IR Blaster plugin to do what I want, but the Duet controller is not currently offered for sale independently from the receiver. This will also be expensive ($700); paying for a VFD that no-one will see and a Duet receiver that is not needed! Do I have this right? Will the duet controller be sold without the receiver? If so, has pricing been determined? Thanks! doug PS: The decision to omit IR blasting capability in the Duet receiver is a bitter pill for me. -- TechHome ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TechHome's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2340 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43476 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
