Mike,
I’d use two separate receivers, one for the theater and one for the whole house music. You use Y-adapters on all your sources (DVD, VCR, Sat, etc.) to both receivers.
Your whole house system would then need a speaker selector. For 4 areas look at this one.
If you want or have volume control locations wired then these volume controls.
For a good starting point for speakers look here.
And theater apps here.
