IMPORTANT INFORMATION SHOULD
YOU CHOOSE TO PAINT YOUR GRILLES
Because of its ultra-thin profile, the Vanishing
Series Sheer-Grille"' requires a specific painting
procedure to ensure smooth, even coverage.
The grille scrim and perforated grille come
assembled and require no disassembly.
Paint Recommendation
We highly recommend you use a can of spray
paint matched to the ceiling color you want the
Sheer-Grilles to blend with.
Important Note: Never use a brush or roller to
paint the grilles, as this will clog the perf holes.
To paint the Sheer-Grille
1. Elevate the Sheer-Grille off of aflat surface.
This will ensure even coverage of the grille
frame and make it easier to pick up.
Mounting Idea: A single spray can cap
will raise the grille high enough.
2. Hold the spray paint about 12" from
the grille and at a 45° angle.
3. Apply one light, thin coat, moving evenly
side to side over the grille, then work your
way around the perimeter of the grille
to ensure you cover the grille frame.
4. After each application of paint, wait
approximately 1 minute, rotate the
grille goo. and apply the next thin coat.
Important Note: You must rotate the grille
goo. Use your hands to define the next goo
rotation and always rotate the grille in the
same direction of travel.
5. Three light, even applications should cover
the grille and frame adequately. Remember
to work your way around the grille frame
to cover it evenly and completely.

SURROUND SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Polk Audio F/X® surround loudspeakers give you
nearly endless placement options. But remember
that where you place your surround speakers
requires some careful thought, as installation
requires that you cut a hole in your wall or ceiling.

Diagram shows speaker locations for
\
5.1 and 7.1 systems, when two additional
in-ceiling speakers are installed at back
of the room.
Left/Right Orientation: F/X® surround loud-
speakers have aleft/right orientation, and each
speaker is clearly marked on the serial number
label on the back of the magnet for installation
on either the right or left. Right and left are
defined from your listening area as you face
your system's center channel.
Please Note: For more on speaker placement go

ROOM ENVIRONMENT CONTROLS
Solid I Diffuse
CD
Imaging
Imaging (80F/x-Ls only)
F/X Surround Loudspeakers offer switchable
"Diffuse" and "Solid" imaging patterns
to create the surround effect you desire.
A "Diffuse" image is defined as one which
creates a "cloud" of sound; think of the effect
as ambient sounds which fill the environment
all around you, but are less localizable.
A "Solid" image is one which creates a more pin-
point sound; sound is more localized. The location
of sounds in the sound field is more identifiable.
>2' OJ <2'
160cm) 160cm)
Wall Dist.
Wall Distance Switch (F/X models only)
In-ceiling loudspeakers excel when placed
more than 2' (60cm) from side walls. If position
limitations demand that in-ceiling loudspeakers
be installed closer than 2' (60cm) from side walls,
the proximity of the surface can result in a response
"bump" between 50 and 200Hz. This can cause
in-ceiling speakers to sound "boomy.'' The
"Wall Distance" switch flattens response
and eliminates "boominess" without sacrificing
deep bass response, for more lifelike sound.

INFORMATION IMPORTANTE Sl VOUS
DECIDEZ DE PEINDRE LES GRILLES
A cause de son profil ultra-mince, Ia grille «Sheer-
Grille"'» necessite une application de peinture
specifique pour assurer un fini lisse et uniforme.
La grille perforee et son cadre sont preassembles
et ne requierent pas de demontage
Peinture: recommandation
Nous recommandons fortement !'utilisation d'une
peinture en aerosol qui se fond avec Ia couleur
du plafond au du mur.
Note importante: N'utilisez jamais de pinceau
au de rouleau car ceux-ci pourraient boucher
les trous de Ia grille.
Pour peindre Ia ttSheer-Grille»
1. Surelevez Ia grille au dessus d'une surface
plate. Ceci assurera !'application uniforme
de Ia peinture et rendra Ia grille plus facile
a soul ever. Idee pour surelever Ia grille:
Le capuchon de Ia bombe de peinture en
aerosol surelevera Ia grille adequatement.
2. Tenez Ia bombe aerosol a environ 30 em
de Ia grille eta un angle de 45°.
3. Appliquez une premiere couche de peinture
tres mince, vaporisant Ia grille egalement
de gauche a droite puis vaporisant le tour
du peri metre pour bien recouvrir le cadre.
4. Attendez environ 1 minute entre chaque
couche puis tournez Ia grille goo et vaporisez
Ia prochaine couche mince. Note importante:
II est essentiel de tourner Ia grille goo_
Utilisez vas mains pour effectuer Ia prochaine
rotation et tournez toujours Ia grille dans
Ia meme direction .
5.
Trois couche s mince s devraient re c ouvrir
Ia grille et son cadre adequatement. N'oubliez
pas de faire le tour du cadre de Ia grille pour
assurer une couverture complete et uniforme .

INFORMACION IMPORTANTE
Sl DECIDE PINTAR LAS REJILLAS
Debido a su perfil ultra delgado, Ia rejilla plana

cedimiento especffico para que Ia pintura Ia cubra
lisa y uniformemente. La tela tosca de Ia rejilla y Ia
rejilla vienen ensambladas de fabrica y noes nec-
esario desmontarlas .
Recomendaci6n de pintura
Recomendamos enfaticamente que pinte con una
lata de pintura aerosol del color que corresponda
al color de cielo rasa con que desea que las rejillas
hagan juego .
Nota importante: Nunca utilice una brocha o
rodillo para pintar las rejillas, porque asi se tapan
los agujeros.
Pintura de Ia rejilla plana
1. Monte Ia rejilla sabre una base que Ia separe
de Ia superficie de trabajo. Esto garantiza
cobertura uniforme del marco de Ia rejilla
y facilita recogerla. Idea para el montaje:
Monte Ia rejilla sabre una tapa de lata de aero-
sol para separarla de Ia superficie de trabajo .
2. Sujete Ia lata de pintura a aproximadamente
12 pig. de Ia rejilla ya un angulo de 45 °

Las imagenes "difusas" son aque l las que crean

Las imagenes "s61idas" crean sonidos mas espe-
