Box Cable Dressing
1) For
the 5 and 12 poles cables to Audio BD, paste a tape over them, ensuring it is
firmly secured to the metal chassis.
2)
For the 8 pole cable between the PSU and TI amplifier, fold the cable as
indicated, making it as close possible to metal chassis.
3)
Fold as indicated underneath the metal chassis for both point 1) and 2). Note
that the cables underneath should be laid as close possible to the metal
chassis also.
4)
For the FFC cable between Audio BD and TI amplifier, fold as indicated, making
it sure that the cable should be outside of both boards.
5)
For the FFC cables from the Audio BD to Tuner/Speaker/AIO BD, fold as
indicated, hence, preventing them from touching the Audio BD itself.
6)
For the 9 pole cable linking from the Main Unit to the Power Box, tuck it
underneath the tuner and above the 4 pole cinch connector and also making it as
close as possible to the back metal plate.
Paste
a tape over the subwoofer cable on the Tuner as indicated. Secondly, the cable
should be outside of the Audio BD, along the edge of the metal chassis.
