TV and Audio Systems — Design Guidance The following design guidance rules must be followed during the installation process
Furniture Integration Television sets in bedrooms and living rooms must not be integrated into any furniture – this makes it easier to install, maintain and replace them. Depending on the room design, television sets can be wall-mounted (with either a flat or a tilt bracket) or pedestal mounted, so that the guest has a comfortable viewing distance from both the bed and the easy chair in the room.
Cable Management
Speakers must be built into the ceiling or be integrated into the bathroom mirror arrangement.
Sound Installation Where SoundBars are installed the room design must take into consideration any necessary sound insulation necessary to ensure neighbouring guest rooms (be they inside the same suite or not) are not unduly impacted by the sound levels.
Wall-Mounting Bracket Requirements for TVs and Soundbars Flat Brackets
All cables must be hidden from view.
—— Ultra-slim profile
Power Management
—— Solid steel construction
The power supplies to ALL TVs must not be switched off by the master power switch in the room.
—— VESA compliant
Bathroom Tv Integration
Tilt Brackets
Bathroom TVs must be either integrated into the bathroom mirror or flush mounted into the wall.
—— Adjustable tilt
Power and AV sockets must be located behind the bathroom mirror so that they are accessible for maintenance.
—— VESA compliant
—— Easy access for device connections
—— Steel construction
—— Easy access for connections
Ensure any de-misters integrated into the bathroom mirror cover the TV screen as well.

In addition, the Connectivity Panels also include a power supply, so that guests can charge their own devices easily and conveniently. Connection cable kits must be available at reception on free loan to guests, if required.

Security Secure the device(s) with steel lanyards as necessary:
Option 1
Option 2
Security Lanyard, 60cm Steel Wire.
Secure metal housing for mains power cable
One end of the lanyard is secured into the rear of the music device, the other end of the 60cm steel wire cable is fixed to the underside of a desk or night stand or similar.
