The Audio Visual Installer,  Home Specialties, offered us several comprehensive pre-wiring packages for our entire home.  We choose to have TV, Phone and Network cables pre-wired in almost every room of the house.  We also opted to have an in-ceiling speaker system for the living room wired with its own volume control, as well as pre-wires for a set of speakers on the exterior of the house at the patio.

The centerpiece of the installation is the conversion of the 5th bedroom / Den in to a full home theater room.  Speaker terminals were run to all 4 corners of the room, as well as center for a center channel speaker.   An in-wall subwoofer wire was also run to terminate where we plan to keep the Stereo Receiver and Disc Player.   In addition to the speaker wiring, the crew installed a 110v power and HDMI cable in the ceiling at the rear of the room to facilitate a projector for big screen action.   The theater room will also feature two cable TV lines for dual DVR (Digital Video Recorder) and Picture-in-picture from our satellite feed.  A phone line and Cat5e Ethernet (computer network wire) is also installed to interface with the home network system and media server.

All of the TV, Phone and Network wires terminate in the garage in a Leviton “home frame” cabinet that mounts flush in the garage.   This offers a central point for the satellite TV and the computer network / cable modem connection.
