Precautions
Caution
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or cause serious injury or death.
Keep the following precautions in mind to prevent any accidents.
Installment other than specified in the instructions may cause the unit to fall due to lack of wall strength.
Do not use screws other than the supplied screws for installation.
Do not install the unit following any procedure other than that explained in this manual. Make sure to follow
the procedure in this manual closely.
Do not disassemble the unit. Disassembly may cause a malfunction or cause injury.
Do not place excessive pressure on the unit after mounting it. Damage may result, or it may cause injury.
CAUTION
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS
On power sources
If you are not going to use the unit for a long time, be sure to disconnect the unit from the wall outlet. To
disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
On placement
The unit is designed for mounting only on the wall. You cannot mount it on the ceiling or on the floor.
Place the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the unit.
Do not place the unit on a soft surface, such as a rug.
Do not place the unit near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical
shock.
Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a vertical position only.
Keep the unit away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.
Do not install the unit in a humid location, such as in a bathroom, or a place where moisture condensation may
occur. Install the unit in a place where the environment falls within the operating temperature 0°C – 30°C
(32°F – 86°F).
Do not step on or place heavy objects on the unit. Damage may result, or it may cause injury.
Installation into the wall should be done by Qualified Technicians.

Connecting RJ45 connectors to CAT5 cables
Before you connect the CAT5 cables to the unit, you need to connect the RJ45 connectors to each end of the
cables.
Be sure to use Category 5e straight-through cables, and the wiring connection is correct. See the illustration below
for details on connections.

Note on installing CAT5 cables
The following lengths of cable(s) can extend up to 200 feet:
The combined length of the two longest cables connecting the Distribution Panel (HS-MB1) to an AV Wall Port
(HS-WV1) and a Keypad (this unit).
The length of cable connecting an AV Wall Port (HS-WV1) directly to a Keypad (this unit) without connecting
the Distribution Panel (HS-MB1).
The length of cable connecting a Local Audio Wall Port (HS-WA1) to a Keypad (this unit).
Connecting speaker cords or power supply cords
You can connect up to two Keypads directly to a Power Supply (HS-AC1) in order to improve sound coverage of
the Keypad. For details on Power Supply connection, refer to HS-AC1 manual.
You can use any commercially available cord of gauge AWG 18 to AWG 26. AWG 18 cords are recommended as
signal loss is less.
1
Strip 10 mm (0.4 inches) of insulation off the cords and twist the
bare wires together tightly.
Be sure that the length of the bare wires is 10 mm (0.4 inches), matching the full-size illustration below.
10 mm (0.4 inches)
Note
Do not use a cord that is kinked, tarnished or otherwise damaged.

While pressing down the orange tab next to the terminal, insert
the cord into the terminal as far as it will go. See the tables below
for connections.

Notes
To press down the orange tab, a slim object such as a flathead screwdriver can be used.
Be sure to connect the terminals correctly as shown in the table above. If a speaker cord is reversed, the
sound may be distorted.
Make sure none of the bare wires touch each other. If they do, it may cause a short-circuit, which could
damage the system.

SPEAKERS
Connect speakers (nominal impedance 8 ohms or higher) in a room using a speaker cord. See “Connecting
speaker cords or power supply cords.”
DC IN
Connect DC IN of Keypad to DC OUT of Power Supply (HS-AC1) using a power supply cord. See
“Connecting speaker cords or power supply cords.” A DC power source is supplied to the Keypad through the
AWG 24 cords inside the CAT5 cable connected to
. However, sound quality of the Keypad may deteriorate
if cables are long, due to power loss through the cable. For optimum sound quality, connect directly Keypad
and Power Supply using thicker cords than AWG 24, up to AWG 18.
MODE (ZONE/HT) switch
Switch between ZONE mode and HT mode. The ZONE mode is used to select input sources. The HT mode
can be used for basic operations on the Multi Channel AV receiver. For further details on these modes, refer to
the Keypad operating instructions.
IR REMOTE IN
Connect an IR sensor.
