Hello!

I've bought a place and it comes with some really cool audio setups all around the house BUT it doesn't come with any instruction booklets for a newbie like me... Could some experts please share their expertise? :D

This seems to be some main setup with many ports - can anyone share with me what do I connect it with? a mixer? lol

The first image are the speaker connections for the HT system, you’ll need a surround sound receiver and connect the corresponding outputs from the receiver to the matching binding posts in the plate. It’s a simple job if you know what you’re doing, in your case I highly recommend hiring an installer and let them do the wiring, won’t cost much for this job. The other plates are also binding posts to other in ceiling speakers probably wired in series around the house for piped music.
