ThinFit™ Explorer Collection

Auxiliary Room (2 Speaker Placement)

Position the two speakers in the middle of the room, no less than 6’ (2m) apart. Ideally, the two speakers should be placed at an equal distance from the listener. If the room has a lower ceiling, the speakers can be closer together. Also, if the speaker placement is intended for standing (as opposed to sitting) listeners, the speakers can be closer together.

Home Theater (7 Speaker Placement)

The Left Rear (LR) and Right Rear (RR) speakers should be installed just behind the listener, one on either side. The Center Channel (CC) speaker should be placed above and slightly in front of the television, with the Left Front (LF) and Right Front (RF) speakers placed equidistant to either side.

Connecting the Wire

Insert the wires into the connectors, making sure that the positive wire is being attached to the red connection and the negative wire is being attached to the black connection. If the negative and positive wires are switched, speaker performance will be drastically impacted.

Installing the Speaker

Make sure all the dogs are in the upright position and facing to the side, not outwards. Insert the speaker into nthe hole. Turn the four screws so that the dogs face outwards and continue turning until they clamp down on the ceiling. When you feel resistance, stop tightening the screws.

Installing the Grille

Fit the grille over the speaker. The grille uses magnets to be held in place.

Painting The Grille

In some situations, the speakers may look better if the color matched the walls, ceiling, or trim in the room. This can be accomplished by painting the grille. The grille must be painted with spray paint, and most hardware stores will mix a can of paint to match whatever color you need. Before painting, carefully remove the thin cloth on the underside of the grille. Lightly spray the front of the grille with the paint from a distance, being careful not to plug any of the holes. Diluting the paint with paint thinner will lessen the risk of filling any holes. If a hole gets plugged use a can of compressed air to open it. Once the paint is dry, put the cloth back on the grille.

Troubleshooting

If you have a problem, try isolating it first. For example, if you’re playing a DVD and there is no sound, try replacing the DVD with an MP3 player to see if you get sound. If it does work, then the problem is with the television, DVD player, or the cables connecting them. If it doesn’t work, the problem will be with the amplifier, speakers, or those cables.
