1) Be sure you have connected the CAT5 cable correctly. Note that the
stripe/solid pattern should match the labels on the product. Miss-
wiring can cause distorted sound or prevent the system from working
at all!
2) Be sure you have connected the speakers in phase. Follow the label
on the product. Out of phase speakers can rob the system of its bass,
especially when driving dual-voice-coil speakers.
3) Be sure IR emitters are directly over the IR sensor for all devices you
wish to control.
4) If no audio is heard in a zone... inspect the status LEDs for that zone.
The red LED next to the output you are using should be illuminated
and so should the blue LED labeled “Active”. Note that there are two
red LEDs for each zone output, one for RJ-45 connector and one for
the 110 connector. These red LEDs indicate which output connector
is being used (only one can be used at a time). If you connect
keypads to both of these connectors simultaneously, only the RJ-45
output will be activated.
5) If no audio is heard and the blue LED labeled “Active” is not lit...
Make sure that audio is playing (it must be playing for the Active light
to come on). If music is playing, re-issue the source command (i.e.
re-select the source using the remote or keypad).
6) If a CAT5 wire is connected to the P-1044, make sure the other end is
terminated with a keypad. If the CAT5 wire is left un-terminated while
the other end is attached to the P-1044, it may be possible for the
conductors in the rough end of the CAT5 to short together and cause
problems for the system.
7) If one of the source inputs is not working try connecting that source
into one of the working source inputs. If the problem persists check
the cabling between the source and the P-1044.

Stripping and Connecting CAT5 Wire
Blade
CAT5
1.
Place the CAT5 between the blade and the first notch of the J-110 tool.
CAT5 cable should be stripped with a proper stripping tool, such as Channel
Vision’s J-110 tool.
Slight
pressure
Rotate
1 turn only
2.
Rotate the tool only once. Multiple
turns will cause you to cut into the
inner wires.
3.
Inspect the inner wires for damage.
If any wires are cut start over at step 1.
