I have attached the System Block diagram for the DIY crowd. Devialet tech support can provide you the entire document. They also have a specialist group that can help you install and set up a Phantom Home Cinema system.
This looks more complicated and worse than my original idea to use 2 dialogs, 5 phantoms and set up 3 different zones to play 5 channel surround from a dedicated surround receiver.
By taking the 2 channel digital out from the tv as described in the drawing, you won't be able to get 5 channel sound from all the equipment connected via HDMI to the TV, right?
By using a surround receiver to connect all your HDMI inputs and using analog outputs that you convert to digital signal you would have way more components, but at least you would get 5 channel sound from all your devices.
I am very curious to see what they come up with here. The selling point of a phantom system is how easy they are to implement and use, and that would fade away pretty quick with a solution like this.
