- Drill a small hole behind where the IR transmitter will be mounted for passing cables through
- Run the 22/2 cable connected to the AUDIO OUT to the IR T1.
- Splice a 3.5mm audio cable with the 22/2 using B-connectors. Red on the 22/2 to the red and L/R on the 3.5mm. Black on the 22/2 to the bare of the 3.5mm.
