Step 6
Optional fabric speaker or glass insert panel (Contact
BDI Customer Service at: customerser[email protected]).
Avion’s drawer and door fronts feature removable/replaceable
panel inserts to permit customization of your cabinet’s
appearance and utility.
Installing optional panel inserts is quick and easy:
1. From the inside of the door, and starting at one corner of the
pre-installed Glass or Speaker panel insert, carefully pull away
all four sections of the dark rubber material running along the
perimeter of the insert. (Use a blunt, tapered object or your fin-
ger to start removing the rubber material.)
2. Once the rubber material is completely pulled away, remove
the pre-installed panel insert and replace it with the desired
panel insert.
3. Re-install the rubber material, pressing it carefully back into
the groove around the new panel insert, section by section, to
complete the panel insert installation.
NOTE: Gentle stretching of the rubber material during
re-installation can cause it to extend beyond one or more
corners. If so, simply snip-off the excess material with a pair of
sharp scissors.
a. Remove rubber trim and glass
panel.
b. Replace insert panel
Step 7
Center channel speaker wire management.
If you opt to use the top/center drawer to house a center chan-
nel speaker, there is a slot on the drawer bottom that allows you
to guide the speaker wires through and out of the drawer bottom
using the installed plastic wire clips. *Note: The center divider
is adjustable. Velcro straps are supplied, and can be used for
organizing cable management.

Thank you for choosing BDI.
Your BDI home theater cabinet is engineered to include a range of adjustments. Please read and retain this guide so
that you can fully enjoy the look and use of your cabinet for years to come.
Unless manual leveling is required or you wish to prevent the cabinet from rolling, you may prefer to keep the
cabinet’s levelers up and off the floor. This allows easier cabinet movement for greater access to rear panels and
wire-management, and permits easier cleaning/vacuuming underneath the cabinet.
By following the steps in this guide, you can be sure that your BDI cabinet is in optimum tune and adjustment. If you
need additional assistance, contact BDI at customerser[email protected].
Fine tuning your BDI Avion Home Theater Furniture
After unpacking and assembling your cabinet, inspect it to be sure that it is sitting
level on the floor, that all doors appear level, and that they open and close freely
without rubbing or binding.
Due to uneven floors or perhaps gentle jostling during shipment, your BDI cabinet
may not appear to be in perfect alignment when first assembled or when loaded
with heavier electronic equipment. Such alignment issues are usually minimized
or eliminated with only a few minor adjustments.
STEP 1 - Level the cabinet (if needed)
Levelers are integrated into each leg assembly and are accessed from inside the cabinet. If your floor is uneven,
you may extend one or more levelers (with the provided Allen Wrench) to attain a level, stable cabinet placement.
Turning the leveler clockwise will extend the leveler; turning it counter-clockwise will retract it.
STEP 2 - Adjust Door Hinges (if needed)
Your cabinet’s doors should show even spacing around edges
and should open and close freely, without rubbing against
the door frame. BDI cabinets feature high-quality, infinitely
adjustable European hinges. Adjustments may be made to the
door hinges with the use of a Phillips head screwdriver, and
each hinge features three (3) adjustment screws:
• By adjusting Screw 1, the door will move left or right within
the frame. Making minor adjustments to both the top and
bottom hinges usually yields best results.
• By adjusting Screw 2, the door will move up or down
within the frame. (The top and bottom hinges must be adjusted
equally).
• By adjusting Screw 3, the door will move in or out, opening
and closing the gap between the door frame and cabinet.
(Screw 3 rarely needs adjustment.)
INCORRECT! Door
is out of alignment
with the rest of the
unit.
CORRECT! Door is
sitting squarely and
evenly spaced on
tops and sides.
