For wiring in-wall speakers, use 18-gauge at least for each speaker.
If an in-wall volume control is desired in every room, wire to the
control, then to the speakers.
NEVER COMBINE WIRE COLOR
ON A CONNECTION
Always have extra wire for all installations; and no matter the
easiness of the installation, never change wire colors in the middle
of wiring. Never connect any confusing wire tracks; this only will
take more time and risk if in the future changes are needed.
DO NOT REWIRE UNDER A
FLOOR MAT
Do not cut corners by installing speaker wire or any other wire across
the room and under a rug or floor mat; the constant
stepping on the
wires will rub the insulation off, which in turn it will become an
hazard.
::Check the components connections ::
CHECK THE COMPONENTS
CONNECTIONS AS WELL
If a remote control does not operate a component at all, try operating
the component manually and make sure that the component is properly
plugged; also, check the remote control’s batteries.
CHECK THE REMOTE CONTROL
SWITCH WHEN MANAGING COMPONENTS
When a remote control does not work, check to see if the component you
are trying to operate has a switch for manual/on/off/ or
remote
selections; if it does, choose the Remote selection.
