Okay, so you've achieved the clean, sleek, minimalist look you've wanted for your HDTV home theater — HDTV and center-channel speaker at the front of the room, bulky AV components at the rear. Now all you need to do is connect them. The Panamax MIW POWERKIT PRO inwall powercenter kit provides the ideal power interfaces for linking your HDTV to a protected power source at the rear of the room. Run power, audio, and video cables through your walls and keep messy wires out of your home theater.

The solution

The solution? . . . What's the problem? You've just given your new HDTV home theater the clean, sleek, minimalist look you were seeking by installing all of your AV components not on a shelf beneath your wall-mounted plasma or LCD, but instead at the rear of your home theater area — out of sight and out of mind. Now, the only hurdle is connecting your now "remote" AV components to your HDTV. Well, you could run wires and cables under a mosaic of rugs and carpet remnants across the full length of your living room. Or, you could run that mess of wires through your walls . . . again, out of sight and out of mind. With the Panamax MIW POWERKIT PRO in-wall kit, not only can you link your HDTV and AV components, but you can also protect your HDTV by connecting it to the Panamax power center that's protecting all your other AV components at the back of the room.

Part I: Power

Sure, you could just buy a second power management device to protect your HDTV at the front of the room, but not only will this cost you more money, but you'll also have an obtrusive component sitting on your floor with two thick black cables stretching away from it. So much for "clean, sleek, minimalist look", eh? The Panamax MIW POWERKIT PRO includes two in-wall faceplates that offer the ideal interface between your HDTV and your protected power source at the rear of your home theater. Installed behind your HDTV (out of sight . . .), the power-outlet faceplate features two NEMA 5-15 AC connectors with Level 1 noise filtration, serving up clean power to your flat panel TV. Then, installed with the rest of your components at the rear of the room, the power-inlet faceplate with NEMA ML-2P twistlock connector can be easily connected to your power management system with the included 10' twistlock AC power cord featuring NEMA 5-15 and ML-2P interfaces. All you have to do is cut a couple of holes in your wall and run a power cable between the two faceplates. Bring on the power.

Part II: Uh, what about the video?

Woo hoo!! You've got power! Now all you need is something to watch on your HDTV. Enter the MIW POWERKIT PRO's MAX in-wall dual signal bays. Each of the two included signal-bay faceplates — one for behind your HDTV, one with your Blu-ray player at the back of the room — has two separate bays for running cables. Pass video cables through one and speaker wires through the other. Bring on the video.

Finally . . .

Installation of the MIW POWERKIT PRO is easy. All of the necessary screws and wire nuts are included with your purchase.
