Is this possible?
My Marantz 8802a offers the ability to watch and hdmi source, and the choose an analog audio input to listen to.  To my knowledge that is the only design for different audio/ video combos in the unit I.e. you can’t mix two digital sources.

So the recommended book is on its way.  To note the bay window cutouts in the basement are not actual windows. It’s just the hexagonal half shape that breaks up a flat wall. The room and basement actually have no windows.  Do these forums let one ...

Where to put budget
so Coming back to this I upgraded subs first  have made a huge difference. A pair of jl f212v2s absolutely shake everything and they are only at 20% do power. When I expand the room I think they’ll be perfect for double the space.

Thanks for the responses. I’ve been researching ground loop hum. The hum when it came on was cyclical it was not constant which makes me wonder if it is being caused by something else in the house maybe a dimmer or microwave.  I’ve been very busy ...
