3.3 Cautions & Warnings
3.3.1 All analog audio output lines from the Surround Sound Processor
unit shall be shielded and properly grounded. Analog audio input
lines shall be shielded and grounded at the source, unless
indicated otherwise. Avoid placing cables near high power wires.
3.3.2 It is important to do a pin-to-pin power and ground check on all
connectors. Ensure that power and ground are applied only where
specified. Damage to the unit can result if power or ground is
applied to the wrong points.
3.3.3 DO NOT connect or disconnect the unit while power is applied.
3.3.4 DO NOT connect or disconnect any inputs or outputs when power
is applied to the unit.
3.3.5 DO NOT remove any factory-installed screws. Damage to the unit
can result and void any warranties.
3.3.6 ESD (Electro Static Discharge) guidelines shall be followed.
3.4 Wiring Requirements
The installing agency shall supply and fabricate all external cables and
connectors. The length and routing of external cables should be carefully
studied and planned before attempting installation of the equipment. Allow
adequate space for installation of cable and connectors.
3.4.1 Digital Audio / FiberLink Lines
All digital audio / FiberLink wiring shall be 100/140 µm
(core/cladding) multi-mode fiber optic cabling. All fiber optic
connectors/couplers shall use ceramic ferrules to minimize adverse
reflection effects. BRAND-REX P/N: OC-1011 or equivalent fiber
optic cabling shall be used for all digital audio / FiberLink wiring.
3.4.2 Analog Audio Lines
All analog audio wiring shall be 22 AWG, MINIMUM, twisted
shielded cable unless otherwise specified. All audio input and
output lines require twisted shielded cable with the cable shields
grounded at the source. Shield continuity shall be maintained
through all production breaks.
