Caution

Follow all instructions included with the A/V components, remote controllers and in-wall keypads that
compose the Sony New Home Entertainment Solutions.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The in-wall keypads use the Cat 5 cable for both signal and DC power. Failure to test each
in-wall keypad Cat 5 cable prior to connecting the keypad may result in damage to the
keypad. Be sure to test your RJ-45 connector prior to plugging in each in-wall keypad. For
details, please consult the section entitled "Remote Room: In-Wall Keypad."
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are distributing video output from a single, centralized Cable, Satellite or Other set-top
box, remote room keypads will be LIMITED to a SINGLE Cable, Satellite or Other TV
channel selected in the main room set-top box. If the customer wants independent channel
selection in every room, you must distribute the incoming RF signal to set-top boxes in every
room. In this case, the customer can use the remote for each set-top box to select
channels independently and use the television remote control to adjust volume. Sound from
a local set-top box in the remote room will be heard only through the remote room
television's built-in speakers, not the system speakers.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Each in-wall control panel includes an infrared sensor window. Be sure to position all in-wall
control panels away from direct sunlight or lighting equipment. Exposure to sunlight or
lighting equipment may cause a malfunction.
