a. Remove rubber trim and
glass panel.
b. Replace insert panel
Step 6
Optional fabric speaker or glass insert panel
Avion’s drawer and door fronts feature removable/
replaceable panel inserts to permit customization of
your cabinet’s appearance and utility. (Contact BDI
Customer Service at [email protected])
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 panel
retention trim, running along the perimeter of the
insert. (Use a blunt, tapered object or your finger to
start removing the rubber material.)
2. Once the trim material is completely pulled away,
remove the pre-installed panel insert and replace it
with the desired panel insert.
3. Re-install the trim, pressing it carefully back into
the groove around the new panel insert, section by
section, to complete the panel insert installation.
Step 5
Install both Back Panels (M) to the backside of the
cabinet. *Note: Velcro straps are included as wire
management for your convenience.

STEP 2 - Adjust Door Hinges (if needed)
The doors on your cabinet should be evenly spaced and the doors should open and close freely
without rubbing against the door frame.
If the cabinet’s doors appear out of alignment, this
condition can be corrected with minor adjustment to
the European hinges on each door.
Because these hinges are infinitely adjustable,
adjusting one hinge element can sometimes cause the
need for adjustments to other elements. But with a
few adjustments, you can modify the orientation of the
cabinet doors to make sure that they hang perfectly
within your cabinet.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust the door hinges:
By adjusting• Screw 1, the door will move LEFT
or RIGHT within the frame. Make minor
adjustments at both top and bottom hinges for
best results.
By adjusting• Screw(s) 2, the door will move UP
or DOWN within the frame (the top and bottom
hinges must be adjusted the same amount).
By adjusting• Screw 3 the entire door will move
IN or OUT, opening or closing the gap between
the door frame and cabinet (this screw rarely
needs adjustment).

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 [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 4mm Hex Drivers (B)) to attain
a level, stable cabinet placement. Turning the leveler clockwise will
extend the leveler; turning it counter-clockwise will retract it.
INCORRECT! Door
is out of alignment
with the rest of the
unit.
CORRECT! Door is
sitting squarely and
evenly spaced on
tops and sides.
