PAINTING THE CVIW50 FRAME & GRILLE

INSTALLATION

The JBL Cinema Vision in-wall adaptors were designed to be easily installed. However, if you are unsure of your ability to properly install these assemblies, please contact your dealer or a qualified installer.

JBl CVIW50 can be painted

to match any decor. If you wish to change its color, the satin finish on the grille and frame will function as a primer coat. If CVIW50 is to be painted, please do it before assembling a CVSAT50 or CVCEN50 onto this adaptor.

Before painting, install the paint shield (in the assembly kit) securely into the recess in the baffle. This will protect the speaker components 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.

1.Mount CVSAT50 or CVCEN50 loudspeaker to CVIW50 adaptor as instructed earlier in this installation guide.

Determine the correct speaker location. Note: Remove the inner template, which is the paint shield, at the perforation. Also remove the other perforation from the cardbord part until you are left with a card- board frame. Confirm that this card- board frame comfortably fits on the back of the CVIW50 frame. This will be the opening size of your installation cutout in the drywall. Although the adaptor may be oriented either horizontally or vertically, the installation procedure is the same.

NOTE: always allow at least one-half inch between a wall stud and the speaker cutout or the locking tabs will not be able to swivel into place.

Note: If the CVIW50 frame and/or grille are to be painted, please do it before assembling the loudspeaker onto the CVIW50.

1.Place the frame (1) on a flat surface. Use a non abrasive surface as to not damage the finish of the frame.

2.Position the CVSAT50 or CVCEN50 loudspeaker (2) on the frame (1). The four pins on the CVIW50 frame (5) should be inserted into the four grille-pin holes on the loudspeaker baffle.

3.Position each of the two braces (3) on the back of the loudspeaker (2) enclosure, and securely attach brace (3) to frame (1) using 4 small bolts

(4) per frame.

4.Remove mounting bracket (7) and store bracket and screws for possible future use.

5.Do not attach grille (6) until after the assembly is installed in a wall.
