Painting Your VRS Pro Speakers
You may paint the surface and grilles of your VRS Pro speakers. You will need:
• A small screwdriver or knife to remove the grilles from the cabinet
• A fast-drying primer, such as Krylon
®
Sandable Spray Primer #1318
• Masking tape and scrap paper, and a clean dry cloth.
To paint the cabinet:
IMPORTANT:
Do not paint the red and black
electrical terminals or the black area behind the
grilles.
1. Remove the grilles: Use a small screwdriver
or knife to snap open the back edge of each
grille near the terminals.
2. Mask off the baffles with masking tape and
scrap paper, and wipe any dust from the
cabinet.
3. Apply two thin coats of primer and let dry
thoroughly.
4. Apply finishing paint and let dry.
5. Remove masking tape and paper.
To paint the grilles:
IMPORTANT:
Avoid painting the grilles in a
way that causes the holes to be filled.
1. Remove the grilles: Use a small screwdriver
or knife to snap open the back edge of each
grille near the terminals.
2. Paint the grilles: Primer is not required. If
using a spray paint, use two thin coats. If using
a house paint, thin the paint to avoid filling the
perforation holes in the grille. Let the paint dry
completely.
3. Reinsert the grilles: Insert the front edge in
the groove near the logo and then snap the
rear of the grille into place on the cabinet.
Listening Levels and Power Handling
IMPORTANT:
Adjusting Listening Volume. To obtain the best home theater effect, balance the
sound level of each speaker. Home theater systems contain a test signal that simplifies this proce-
dure. Refer to the instructions provided with your surround sound electronics.
The power recommendation for the speaker assumes the amplifier is not overdriven, which, over a
long period, can damage even our rugged speakers. If you hear a harsh, gritty noise on peak levels,
turn down the volume control. Prolonged or repeated operation with a distorted signal from the
amplifier can cause damage to the speakers, which is not covered by the warranty.
