point. Connecting a door speaker to a room station may result in
system damage.
• Do ensure that all rough-in instructions have been followed before
power is applied to the dmc1 system.
• Do not splice cables. Splices are unreliable and defeat the signal
isolation properties of the cable.
• Do not attach devices unauthorized for use with this system.
Authorized devices include:
• Audio components connected via a line level input
• DMC1CD 6-disc player
• If extra cables have been run for future speaker additions, care

dmc1 master unit. Un-terminated cables (no station) connected to
the dmc1 master may cause electronic feedback that will damage
the master unit.
