raweMy trusty #yamakawa DVD player finally failed (dried caps) with glibberish video output and I got a 15€ USB DVD drive for my #OSMC #kodi #raspberrypi driven fill-house-with-music-and-light rack instead. While at it, I did some cable-management to reduce the mess.
The #HarmanKardon hk6100/hk6200 are great, cheap, and easy to fix (got them in broken for cheap). The #szone 4 zone mixer was cheap/broken as well and requied some mechanical fix and mainly contact cleaning. Its great to route 4.0 surround sound and a bluetooth receiver and a CD player to 4 different amplifiers (3x harman kardon for different rooms and 1 subwoofer) and adjust volue and tone indivisually. The subwoofer (with built-in amp) was picked up from a pile of electronic junk - it had a radio receiver to be used with a soundbar. I just removed that and connected an analog audio input to the amplifier board.
As usual, the whole setup is a bit overengineered...
