[. . . ] Check clearances on both sides of a planned installation surface before drilling any holes or installing any screws. Always wear protective eyewear when using power tools. · Use only high-quality RCA cables that are no longer than necessary for direct connections to other components in the system. Extra-length audio and video cables can cause signal loss and act as an "antenna" for noise. · When routing RCA cables, keep them away from power cables and output speaker wires.
