Four stages
of installation
Depending on the needs of the builder and the homebuyer, the installation of these
systems will generally require the following four stages:
Planning.
Generally occurs before or during the framing of the house. The builder, installer and the
homebuyer sit down to determine the precise system and options. Decisions are made on a
room-by-room basis. The result is a detailed wire plan that indicates the locations of the System
Rack, all wall control panels, in-wall speakers, wall plates for RF, audio, video and speaker
wiring; the Main Room television and Main Room free-standing speakers.
Pre-Wiring.
Generally occurs after framing, plumbing and electrical installation and before drywall installation.
The installer locates junction boxes and runs cable.
Programming.
Sony New Home Entertainment Solutions are designed for minimum on-site programming by the
installer. However, for greater system flexibility, you may need to perform some basic
programming. You will need to program under the following circumstances.
1. If the system includes a cable, satellite or other set-top box in the System Rack, you'll need
to program remote control codes.
2. If the system includes Auxiliary Sources, you'll need to program remote control codes.
3. If the system includes a Sony video front projector in the main room, you'll need to install
setup files.
4. If the system does not include a cable, satellite or other set-top box in the System Rack,
you'll need to install set-up files.
Installation.
Generally occurs after painting and before final inspection. The installer tests all wiring, installs all
in-wall control panels, wall plates, in-wall speakers and installer-supplied A/V equipment.
