Is there a calculator that has the values for this projector (VPL-VW600ES) yet?
The big difference between putting in a standard light switch and a controllable one is the documentation. With a standard switch, once the switch is connected so that the light goes on, you're done. With a controllable switch, you're only halfway there. Now you need to know which light is connected to which switch, you need a naming scheme for each switch and lighting group, and you need a way to remember the two. Then you need a plan for controlling the individual...
Lutron RA2 is available to most electrical contractors, not all of them are comfortable with it, but its available. The bigger the system is, the more expertise you will want. The setup software has training requirements based on system size. With the addition of appliance modules, and thermostats, to the Lutron lineup, you may be able to avoid a separate "home automation" controller and get most of the feature set you are looking for without the added expense or...
I would also get your electrician involved, seeing as he is likely going to have the put the in the switch hardware. He is just as likely to have a very strong opinion on the subject. You may not be saving any money at all, BTW. HomeWorks systems are often much less time consuming to physically install. Especially if your integrator can provide the detailed load documentation that is available for these systems. Jcmitch
Are these amplifiers all going bad in the same install? My guess is that it's not the amplifiers, you have a bad speaker, or have planned for a lower impedance load than the amplifier you are using supports. Yes, amplifiers based on integrated circuits instead of disctrete output transistors did have a smaller tolerance for abuse. But, that was with conventional (class A/B) amplification. Most mutliroom amplifiers today, especially at the entry level, are "digital"...
The manual for the iPod dock that is compatible with the ZR-6 is called SmartDock2. The user manual is posted on their website. It does not list the charging capacity. jcmitch http://www.nilesaudio.com/docs/manua...ck2_Manual.pdf
Squeezbox has a number of control applications in the iTunes store, but it won't compare to a Sonos. If cost is a factor, I'd consider an AirPort Express. www.sonos.com

There's a DAC built into your ZP90. That's what the Analog R&L connections are for. jcmitch
