System installation
There will most likely be a number of cables involved in the installation of your home
entertainment system. Pre-planning is essential in order to maximize system efficiency.
We recommend the followina as a means of heloino vou reach that coal:
Make a diagram of your proposed system by laying out the relative location of
each component in the system. Then lay out the proposed cable runs between
them. Number each cable and record its length on the diagram for future
reference.
Cable runs are critical in that they must be kept away from sources of power
radiation (amplifiers, power cords, heaters, etc...). For the sake of safety, they
should also be kept out of traffic areas.
The process of optimizing the system will include the type of cable, the length of
the run, and the obstructions it must deal with along its run. Your dealer can
advise you on the products available and their relative merits. If building custom
length audio cables is not your strength, your dealer should be able to help you
with that as well.

Tip: Take a piece of stout string (longer than the longest cable run) and mark it at each foot of length.
Then do a mock cable run using the string, dressing it neatly along the way. Count the divisions to the
next full foot, and add one foot to allow for some movement of the components. This will provide you
with the ideal cable length.
