PAINTING THE SPEAKER FRAME AND GRILLE

Performance Specialist loud- speakers can be painted to match any décor. If you wish to change their color, the satin finish on the grille and frame will function as a primer coat. Before painting, install the paint shield (in the assembly kit) securely into the recess in the baffle. This will protect the speaker compo-

nents and baffle from paint residue. Use a high-quality spray paint, and apply a thin coat of color.

Be certain the grille perforations remain free of paint. Filling them with paint will diminish the sound quality.

Note: Gently remove the acoustical foam blanket from the grille before painting. Reattach the blanket after the paint has dried.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If there is no sound from any of the speakers:

Check that receiver/amplifier is on and a source is playing.

Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut, punctured or touching each other.

Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier.

If there is no sound coming from one speaker:

Check the “Balance” control on your receiver/amplifier.

Check all wires and connec- tions between receiver/amplifier and speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires

are frayed, cut, punctured or touching each other. In multi- channel applications, make sure that your receiver or processor has been configured to enable all channels that you are using.

If there is low (or no) bass output:

Make sure the connections to the left and right “Speaker Inputs” have the correct polarity (+ and –).

Consider adding a powered subwoofer to your system.

In Dolby Digital or DTS modes, make sure your receiver/proces- sor is correctly configured. When using a subwoofer, make sure the subwoofer output of the receiver/processor has been enabled. If no subwoofer is being used, make sure the

left and right front and rear speakers have been config-

ured as “LARGE.” See your receiver/processor’s owner’s manual for futher information on correct speaker configuration in Dolby Digital, DTS and other surround sound modes.

If the system plays at low volumes but shuts off as volume is increased:

Check all wires and connec- tions between receiver/amplifier and speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut, punctured or touch- ing each other.

If more than one pair of main speakers is being used, check the minimum-impedance require- ments of your receiver/amplifier.
