That's definitely a problem.  For the CAV6.6 you need home run speaker and
video cables.  The wiring you have in place would likely fit an A-BUS
system.  Unless you can run new cables you will not be able to use the
CAV6.6.  If you got the CAV6.6 from my store, give me a call and I'll try to
arrange a replacement (assuming it's still new).

Yes.  That is correct.

As I mentioned above, you should be able to install an A-BUS system on the
cables you already have.  Call if you need help.
