Installing the Unit
Before installing the unit into the wall, take steps to ensure your safety and that of your surroundings. Check the
following:

You can connect speakers (nominal impedance 8 ohms or higher) to the unit. For details, see “Connecting
speaker cords or power supply cords.”

The necessary wiring such as CAT5 cables, speaker cords, power supply cords, or IR REMOTE cords varies
depending on your system.

The location of the speakers to make sure that speaker cords can be run between the unit and the speakers.

The durability of the wall. The thickness of the wall must be between 13 to 19 mm (
1
/2 to
3
/4 inches).

There are no obstructions, such as air, electrical, or water conduit near the location where the unit is installed.

There is enough space (over 15 cm (6 inches)) inside the wall. If the space available inside the wall is insufficient
or does not have proper ventilation, a malfunction of the unit may occur due to heat build-up.

Do not install the unit where it may get wet due to water or other liquids. This may cause a malfunction of the
unit.

Do not install the unit in a place where moisture condensation may cause a malfunction of the unit.
Installing a 2 gang J-box in a new construction
Be sure to install a 2 gang J-box on a stud before wall construction is finished, so that the unit can be placed in the
