(My front speakers are 4 ohm and the Onkyo would probably overheat trying to drive them.) I also finally got around to building a 12v trigger solution for my amplifier–my 7 yr old Onkyo receiver doesn’t have a 12v trigger for the main zone, but a 10v wall wart plugged into the Onkyo does the trick, now that I’ve soldered a 1/8″ mono plug onto the end and plugged it into the Outlaw amp. (The original Wii bar had weird 3-tooth screws and I didn’t want to tear it up.) So I bought one with a USB connector on it so it can plug into any USB power supply. It turns out that the Wii sensor bar is an “IR flashlight”–the bar itself doesn’t send any data to the Wii. Nothing fancy was needed to extend these.

The Playstation 4 and Wii use Bluetooth controllers, which work fine through the floor.

This means I have two IR sensors hidden under the TV that plug into 1/8″ mono jacks in the wall using Leviton keystone modules. Fortunately, Oppo sells their own IR repeater system for about $25, and I’ve modified it to run over Cat6 as well. It doesn’t work with my Oppo bluray player–apparently there’s something different about the IR pulse Oppo uses, and I couldn’t figure out which general repeaters would work from various forum posts. This works fine with my Onkyo receiver, HDMI switch, Apple TV, and Roku. I’m using a cheap IR repeater from Amazon to control the components from my Harmony remote.

Of course, some of these could also be patched back to the AV shelves if needed for uses other than Ethernet.

The other four Cat6 lines run to the basement patch panel.

I planned to use 2 of these for serial and IR lines and 2 are held for spares in case of future video-over-Cat6 or other needs. I also had the electricians run two 15 amp dead runs that go into a 2-gang box and terminate in AC inlets (male connectors) so that the TV and sub in the living room are plugged into the same surge protection system as the basement, thus avoiding any ground loop issues, and also eliminating the need for surge protectors in the living room for this gear.įour of the Cat6 drops terminate at the AV shelving. Behind the TV, I had the electricians pull 8 new Cat6 drops and a single HDMI cable. I soldered RCA keystone jacks onto one of the old speaker drops for the subwoofer–the only place I could find solderable keystone RCA jacks was, strangely enough, Radio Shack (for 57 cents each). There are now 5 drops down to the basement for the surround speakers. The goal was just to have the TV, speakers, and subwoofer in the living room. Since the electricians had to come out anyway, I decided to move all my AV components into the basement. Recently, I had a large built-in cabinet/bookcase built for the living room and had to move some of those wires and outlets in preparation for it. When I bought my house in Boston, I gutted most of it and did extensive rewiring, including speaker wires in the living room.
