3. Cutting the Hole
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.

STEP 2:
The bayonet ring also features a metal lock to ensure the correct installation of the
loudspeaker. Out of the box, the lock will be in its closed position. Open the lock
tab to its unlocked position to remove the speaker from the ring. Once the speaker
is installed, close the lock tab by pushing it back into place, flush with the perime-
ter of the bayonet ring.
*Important* Push the metal lock tab into its “LOCK” (closed) position aer speaker is
installed per step 1. This will secure the installation. (See Figure A)
The loudspeaker must be properly seated, else the metal lock tab will not lock.
To uninstall the speaker, push the metal lock tab to its “UNLOCK” (open) position
and twist the loudspeaker counterclockwise. (See Figure B)

The midrange and tweeter can be pivoted to direct the sound towards the
listen-ing area. Or for a more diffused surround sound experience, the rear
speakers can be aimed towards the wall. To aim the tweeter, gently apply
pressure to the rim with your thumbs to pivot the tweeter. To aim the midrange,
gently apply pressure to the rim and pivot it in the desired direction. The D83A
has a fixed angle. You should install the speaker with the baffle pointing
toward the desired listening location. Subject to which speaker is being used,
there are two switches: one to adjust the treble, and one to adjust the bass.
When the room has a lot of hard surfaces bass & treble are bounced and
reflected through the room. If the room has softer surfaces the bass & treble are
absorbed. Adjust for the desired acoustic balance for each room.
