hank you for choosing an AudioControl Active-

Balanced product for your video and audio distribu­tion needs. You are installing one of the most innovative
custom installation products available. This unit will allow
you to receive video and audio signals over standard
Category 5 wiring by using the highest quality active
circuitry. Please note that these products are primarily
designed for installation by professional audio video com­panies. Therefore if any part of this manual is not clear …
STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING! Contact your nearest
audio video installation company or call us and we will
refer you to one. Plasma monitors, projectors and some
DVD players are too expensive to damage so don’t attempt
anything you are unfamiliar with.

Now sit back, grab yourself a cold beverage and take a
moment to read through this manual before you charge off
into the installation. Once you cut a hole in the wall, you

are committed.

The First Step In Your Installation Procedure

FILL OUT AND SEND IN THE WARRANTY CARD!
Also, save the invoice or sales slip as proof of purchase.
These actions will protect this investment and help prove
that such a handy piece of audio equipment was really
in the system. Insurance companies can have such little
imagination when you are trying to make a claim.

Before You Begin

For the best product performance and the lowest use of
painkillers, nothing is better than a well-planned profes­sional system installation. Before you start pulling wires
and punching holes in the walls, sketch out a full layout of
the complete system. This will help plan the wire routing
and minimize the “gotchas” later on.
