I've just realised. If he's using a pc he can just set ffdshow to reverse the channels! Problem solved
You'll need to have presets for each mode. FFDSHOW can swop channels (upto 5.1)
However if you're sending digital audio it won't work, unless you want to re-encode live/adjust levels/swop, rather than leave it bit for bit.
Regardless if you're to one side then the speakers won't be in the right position either. Even if you do use a multi-way switch box. ie when watching TV you're on the bed, so it's setup for that. When you're using a PC the left speaker will be way off to one side, centre will be to your left, and you're right in front of right speakers.
That's what my question is. Are you telling me to find an answer for myself? Wouldn't it have been easier to tell me to google it rather than coming back with some smarmy 'read the post' reply. I'm aware of what an AV amp is, and I know what speakers are. Thanks again for referring me to this golden advice.
In other words you don't know. Not only that you're just barged into someone else's thread.
A multi-way switch 5 channel box will cost hundreds of pounds. You'll also need to have each channel adjustable in volume too.
Basically there is no way around it. Unless he buys a PC audio system as well as the audio system for the TV. Or sits in the same place for all sources.
