Installation
Home Theater Room: Television
Installing Wall Plates
1. Connect all the television cables to wall plates. You will need one, two or three wall plates, depending on the wall plate system you choose.
2. Connect the following six cables to wall plate connectors that have an RCA jack inside and outside:
A. Composite Video
B. Red (Pr)
C. Green (Y)
D. Blue (Pb)
E. Audio Left
F. Audio Right
3. Label the wall plate outputs. Remember that many of the connectors will look the same.
4. Connect the RF cable to a wall plate connector that has an F-connector female inside and outside.
5. Label the RF wall plate output.
6. Screw the wall plate(s) into the junction box.
7. Affix the face plate, if necessary loosening the wall plate screws for a snug fit to the wall.
Connecting the Television
1. Use RCA cables to connect the Red (Pr), Green (Y) and Blue (Pb) wall plate connectors to the “Video 5” or “Video 6” component
video inputs of the television, whichever is higher.
2. Use an RCA cable to connect the Composite Video wall plate connector to the “Video 1” composite video input of the television.
3. Connect the RF wall plate connector to the “RF input” of the television.
Home Theater Room: Remote Control RF Antenna
1. Terminate the remote control RF antenna cable with a “category-rated” RJ-45 plug.
A. Use a cable stripping tool to strip off about two inches of the jacket insulation.
B. Untwist each conductor and spread the conductors out. Use the so-called “T568A” or “A” standard wiring configuration.
To do this, arrange the conductors in the following order from left to right,
as seen from the cable side:
I.
Pin 1: White/Green
II. Pin 2: Green
III. Pin 3: White/Orange
IV. Pin 4: Blue
V. Pin 5: White/Blue
VI. Pin 6: Orange
VII. Pin 7: White/Brown
VIII.Pin 8: Brown.
C. Pull each conductor taut, flat and straight.
D. Bring the conductors together and insert them into an empty RJ-45 plug until the jacket is firmly seated under the insulation
clamp. The conductors should extend out the front of the plug.
E. Insert the plug into an RJ-45 crimping tool until it snaps in place.
F. Crimp the plug through the entire ratchet cycle of the crimping tool.
2. Connect the RJ-45 plug to the RJ-45 jack on the RF antenna.
