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 ther
e is no sound
from any of the
speaker
s:
• 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 ther
e 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.
