AS Series Owner's Manual 9/11/98 12:51 PM Page 9 Painting the Speaker Frame and Grille AS Series loudspeakers can be painted to match any style of 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 guard (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. AS Series Owner's Manual 9/11/98 12:51 PM Page 10 Troubleshooting If there is no sound from either of the speakers, check the following: · Receiver/amplifier is on and a source is playing. · Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers. [. . . ] 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.
