Abstract

An electronic home entertainment device performs a primary function of acting as a media source - e.g. it is a DVD player, a CD player, games platform, TV. The device also includes a media control and distribution module, the module comprising: (a) inputs for receiving data signals from several further media sources-, or several data sources; (b) outputs for sending data signals to home entertainment devices in different rooms; (c) a controllable switch able to feed the data signals from a given input to one or more of the outputs.
