you will have to do some research here.. a lot of "professional" equipment already have built-in interfaces (iLink, FireWire, or even old RS-232). As another respondent noted, you can get PC based "IR Xmitters" which are designed to do this (you can even get them for your PDA - search for NEVO) automatically.
Actually, NEVO came with my old Ipaq 3950... and I use it for most of my home theatre equipment. Depends on what you mean by "central control"... if all you want is power on/off, you can just use X-10. So... as "starting points", you need to research your equipment for its built-in functionality; study IR linking hardware; and look at X-10 "Home Automation" extensions for Home Theatres.
