If the ipod dock is wiring back like its a head end source then i put it in the equipment room. If its connecting locally like via CNXRMCLV then i put it in the room its actually in.

I dont think it matters. The tech support issue you had sounds like a buggy program work around. Any reason you can think of that they put it in the kitchen? Or did they just move it out of the equipment room so fix whatever got broken in code the first time around?
