User manual DEFINITIVE TECHNOLOGY DI LCR

[. . . ] Remove the grille from the speaker and place it on a drop cloth, newspaper or plastic sheet. The grille MUST be spray painted with one of the following: · Spray paint that closely matches the desired finish/color · A custom spray bomb color matched to your paint finish · Indoor latex paint using a spray gun (paint must be diluted to the paint manufacturer's specifications) 4. Paint should be applied in a series of thin coats sprayed at approximately 60 degrees from the grille surface, allowing each coat to fully cure before applying additional coats. To ensure that the paint distribution is evenly applied, each coat should be applied from at least 4 different directions to the grille. [. . . ] Plan the placement of your on-wall TV and speakers very carefully before cutting holes. The DI 6. 5LCR will not fit between standard-spaced wall studs when used in a horizontal orientation. If you wish to use a DI 6. 5LCR as a horizontal center channel speaker or if you cannot center a DI 5. 5LCR between studs, consult a professional installer. Figure 5 · Using the supplied template, trace the installation location with a pencil. You can do this by holding the template in your preferred location and tracing around it. · Carefully cut the hole with the appropriate cutting tool for your wall or ceiling material. Start the hole by drilling a hole on the inside of the tracing (with the drill bit just inside the line). Use this hole to insert the saw or knife and begin cutting [Figure 5]. · Once you have cut the hole, pull the speaker wire out of the hole and connect the speaker. Strip 1/2" inch (12 mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors of the wire to expose the bare metal and twist each of the conductors into a single unfrayed strand. Note that one of the terminals on the rear of each speaker is marked red (+) and the other black (-). Make certain that you connect the wire from the red terminal (+) of your amplifier or receiver to the red terminal (+) on your speaker and the wire from the black terminal (-) of your amplifier or receiver to the black terminal (-) on your speaker. Most wire has some indicator (such as color-coding, ribbing or writing) on one of the two conductors to help you maintain consistency [Figure 6]. 3 DI LCR OWNER'S MANUAL Installation Continued · Push down on the top of the terminal to reveal the wire hole in the side of the terminal post and insert the wire into the hole [Figure 7]. · Loosen the rotating lock arms by turning the lock arm screws on the front of the speaker counter clockwise 1/2 to 1 turn, just enough to allow the lock arm to move freely. Make sure that the rotating lock arms are flipped inwards [Figure 9] so that the speaker fits into the cutout. If you have a bubble level, use it to help you correctly align the speaker. This will rotate the lock arms [Figure 11] and secure the speaker to the wall/ceiling. If you are using a powered screwdriver or drill set the torque to a value of 7 in. Powerful magnets hold the grille in place. AMPLIFIER OR RECEIVER Figure 6 SAFETY FIRST When installing your DI Series Loudspeakers, be aware of the weight of your particular model (see specification page for the weight of your model) and the sturdiness of the material into which you are installing the speaker. Also be aware of any concealed studs, electrical wiring or plumbing in the wall or ceiling into which you are installing the speakers. If you are not sure of a safe way to install these speakers, consult a professional installer, your authorized Definitive Technology dealer, or a building contractor.
