SoundPoint Series loud-speak-
ers 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 tem-
plate 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 per-
forations 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.

You will need to purchase the correct rough-in frame kit for your model:

Detailed installation instructions are supplied with the rough-in kit.

• 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, punctured or
touching each other.

• Review proper operation of
your receiver/amplifier.

• 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, punctured or
touching each other.

• 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 config-
ured. When using a subwoofer,
make sure the subwoofer 
output of the receiver/proces-
sor has been enabled. If no
subwoofer is being used, make
sure the left and right front and
rear speakers have been con-
figured 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.

• 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 , punctured or
touching each other.

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