Installation
System Test
1. Confirm that the receiver volume control is all the way down. Turn it down manually, if necessary.
2. Locate the stereo power amplifiers at the bottom of the rack. Confirm that all stereo power amplifier power switches are set to “On” (depressed).
3. Confirm that the subwoofer power switch is set to “On.”
4. Turn on the DVD changer and load a DVD into it.
5. Power up the main system by pressing the DVD button on the supplied wireless system remote control.
6. Slowly turn the receiver volume up.
7. Press Play on the remote control to commence DVD playback.
8. You should get picture and sound in the main room.
9. Repeat the test for VHS tapes and CDs, as well as AM/FM stations.
10. Confirm that each remote room is receiving the appropriate signals from the main room.
11. Confirm that the remote room volume controls are working properly and that all speakers are playing.
12. If you are distributing RF to televisions that will be installed later, be sure to provide each “open” F-connector with a 75-ohm terminator plug.
13. If you have handled cable or satellite TV distribution and if the service is running, confirm that the distribution is working to all
connected televisions.
NOTE:
The remote room keypads will not control the channel on a single, centralized cable, satellite or HD
set-top box channels. The only control is Volume.
14. After testing, carefully set the System Rack into the wall, sliding the rack onto the plywood box.
Finishing Touches
1. Walk-through.
Train the home owner on how to use the system. Walk the owner through the Sony Operating Instructions that we
provide for these New Home Entertainment Solutions.
2. Manuals and handheld remote.
Assemble all user manuals and the handheld wireless remote in an envelope. Leave the envelope
with the homebuyer
3. Sign your work.
Place a small sticker on the bottom front of the system rack with your company name, telephone number and website
URL. Let them know how to get in touch with you. You may also choose to leave a welcome letter, business card or capabilities
brochure in the envelope with the wireless remote. This will serve not only for tech help, but also for future upgrade opportunities.
4. Documentation.
Leave a copy of the wiring plan (which includes the layout of each zone) and wire list in a plastic Zip-Loc
™
style bag
behind the System Rack. Retain copies of the same documents on file in your office. This documentation will save countless hours
of tracing connections during future upgrades and service calls. Your repair technician will appreciate the foresight. And the
homebuyer will love your service and support.
