The system wouldn't be a single device. It would be an amp, some form of tuner,
likely one or more media players (BluRay, etc.), probably some form of DVR,
and a display device, at minimum. It's not unlikely that the speakers could be
ethernet or WiFi devices also expecting their own IPv6 addresses.
