SoundPoint™ Series loud- speakers can be painted to match any decor. 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 (inner section of template in the assembly kit) securely into the recess in the

baffle. This will protect the speaker components and baf- fle from paint residue. Use a high-quality spray paint, and apply a thin coat of color.

Be certain the grille perfora- tions 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.

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 connec- tions between receiver/ampli- fier and speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured.

•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/ampli- fier and speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make

sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured.

IF THERE IS LOW (OR NO) BASS OUTPUT:

•Make sure the connections to the left and right “Speaker Inputs” have the correct polar- ity (+ and –).

•Consider adding a powered subwoofer to your system.

•In Dolby* Digital or DTS® modes, make sure your receiver/processor is correctly configured. When using a sub- woofer, make sure the sub- woofer 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 configured as

“LARGE.” See your receiver/processor’s owner’s manual for futher information on correct speaker configura- tion 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/ampli- fier and speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured.

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