Fine tuning your new BDI Vertica Home Theater Furniture
These steps are to be followed after you have unpacked and completed the simple assembly instructions for your
Vertica AV cabinet. Due to jostling in freight or perhaps an uneven oor, the door on your Vertica cabinet may not
appear to be in perfect alignment. Making a few minor adjustments can rectify this situation. Be aware that depending
on your situation, patience and a bit of trial and error are required.
STEP 1 - Level your Vertica unit
Levelers are integrated into each leg assembly and are accessed at the bottom of each cabinet leg using Hex
Wrench (B2). If your oor is uneven, you may extend one or more levelers to attain a level, stable cabinet placement.
Turning the leveler clockwise will extend the leveler; turning it counter-clockwise will retract it.
Optional Flat Panel TV Mount
This BDI cabinet is compatible with BDI’s Arena Flat-Panel TV
Mount #9972 (sold separately), with the following features:
•accommodates most TVs up to 65", 175 lbs
•swivel allows rotating for optimal viewing
•allows adjustable TV mounting height
•accepts and routes cables to and from the TV

CORRECT! Door is
sitting squarely and evenly
spaced on tops and sides.
INCORRECT! Door is
out of alignment with
the rest of the unit.
STEP 2 - Adjust Door Hinges (if needed)
The door on your cabinet should be evenly spaced and should open/close freely without rubbing against the door
frame.
If the door appear out of alignment, this condition can be corrected with minor adjustment to its European hinges on
each door.
Because these hinges are innitely 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 door to make sure
that it is aligned within your cabinet.
Use the Push Rebound Mechanism (3) :
• By adjusting the dial Clockwise, the door will move IN
when closed.
• By adjusting the dial Counter Clockwise, the door will
move OUT when closed.
Use the Phillips Screwdriver (A) supplied to adjust Vertica's 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 2 the entire door will move IN or
OUT, opening or closing the gap between the door frame
and cabinet. (This screw rarely needs adjustment.)
