Fine-tuning your Novia Home Theater Cabinet
Your Novia home theater cabinet is engineered to allow a range of adjustments. Please read and retain this guide
so that you can fully enjoy the look and use of your BDI cabinet for years to come.
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
eliminated with only a few minor adjustments.
However, unless manual leveling is required, or you wish to prevent the cabinet from rolling, many users choose
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 simple steps in this guide, you can be sure that your BDI cabinet is in optimum tune. If you need
additional assistance, contact BDI at [email protected].
STEP 1 - Level your cabinet (if needed)
After unpacking and assembling your Novia cabinet, inspect it to be sure that it is resting level on the floor, that all
doors appear level, and that they open and close freely without rubbing or binding.
Properly adjustment of the cabinet’s levelers quickly corrects most panel-alignment issues. There are four (4)
adjustable levelers on the bottom of the cabinet; each may be individually adjusted depending on your leveling
scenario.
Two (2) of the levelers are accessible near the bottom of the side panels,
near front and back, using the provided
Leveler Wrench (C)
.
Two (2) of the levelers are accessible from inside the cabinet---at the
bottom panel, inside the center compartment---and are adjustable using
the provided
Allen Wrench (A)
.
STEP 2 - Adjust Doors
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. Depending on your scenario, patience as well as some
trial and error may be called for. With a few adjustments, you can
modify the orientation of the cabinet doors to make sure that they hang
perfectly within your cabinet.
Adjustments may be made to Novia’s door hinges with the use of the Phillips head screwdriver.
Each hinge assembly has three (3) adjustment screws:
By adjusting Screw 1, the door will move left and right within the frame. Make minor adjustments at both top
•
and bottom hinges for best results.
By adjusting Screw 2, the door will move up and down within the frame (the top and bottom hinges must be
•
adjusted the same amount).
By adjusting Screw 3 will cause the entire door to move in and out, opening and closing the gap between
•
the door frame and cabinet. This screw 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.
