Installing the 9871 Driver
Mount the (first) 9871 Driver to any flat vertical or horizontal surface using the screws provided. You may wish to leave space to add 9871 Drivers to expand output capacity. Connect component video and all audio connections desired from the source equipment to the inputs of the 9871. Use high quality, matched sets of component video cables, and high quality RCA cables for audio. The IR bus jacks are only used to connect 9871 modules together.
If installing more than one 9871 Driver, connect all the bus outputs of the first Driver to the inputs of the next Driver using high quality patch cables or Kit 46 (sold separately), which provides convenient male to male connectors for a more compact installation. Connect bus jacks for all channels whether or not they will be used.
Pull two cables to each wallplate location, preferably using a different colored cable jacket for A and B cables. Install an

Installing 9879 Wallplates
BE CERTAIN to connect the A cable to the A jack and the B cable to the B jack or damage to the wallplate/receiver may occur. Adjust the cable length compensation if the cable between the Driver and the wallplate/receiver is over 100 feet long. Set the compensation at 1 for cables
Carefully connect the A and B cables to the Driver(s), power the source components, TVs and AV receivers, and plug in 9871 power supplies to test the system. Connect a TV to each wallplate/receiver location to refine cable length compensation settings. Use the MINIMUM compensation setting that still provides the best picture.
Ideally, Drivers should be located near the audio/video sources, but if
