2. System Design Overview/Applications
Planning
Before installing the DH46X, it is essential to have a detailed and accurate system design. The
fi rst step to a good design is to map the system. It is advisable to mark up a copy of the house
fl oor plan with speaker, Touch Pad and equipment locations, etc. Make sure that all locations
are decided upon before pre-wiring so that all necessary wiring and installation hardware is in
place.
It is essential that ALL system components are accounted for prior to the pre-wire stage. After
establishing design goals, make a detailed list of all components. Include source equipment,
Touch Pads, expansion Routers, local source wall plates, IR emitters, etc.
