Abstract
An interconnection system for an audio and video component entertainment system includes a single conductor audio bus serially coupled between each of the video and audio components transfers audio signal in a 'daisy-chain' manner among the components. The video components are grouped together separately from the audio components along the audio bus and both types of components supply and/or receive audio signals from the bus. A first switch in series with the audio bus separates the audio bus into first and second sections so as to allow simultaneous and independent audio signal transfer among the video and audio components connected to the separated sections of the audio bus. A single conductor video bus serially coupled between each of the video components transfers video signal in a 'daisy-chain' manner among the video components. A second switch in series with the video bus separates the video bus into first and second sections so as to allow simultaneous and independent video signal transfer among video components connected to the separated sections of the video bus.
