Hi, thanks fo ryour replies! Yes I have two era300s now but am planning to expand my system to the setup that you mentioned in your first message (2xera300+sub+arc). After some more thinking I think that this indeed might not work as I want it too because of the fact that you would stream video+audio from the apple tv (hope jaws reads this better now) to the arc even if I use an earc cable. Thanks for mentioning the extractor have been thinking about this as well. But of course this would get really expensive pretty fast. Just out of curiosity what sonos setup are you running at this time? I remember talking to you on this list about sonos a few years ago and you mentioning htat you wanted to run two play fives. Thanks again for the help and sorry for not being clear the first time around. Sometimes things are clear in my head but when i have to write it down... Greetings, Anouk,
