PAINTING THE SPEAKER CASING AND GRILLE (OPTIONAL) We have selected a speaker finish designed to blend well with almost any surroundings. However you can also paint them to obtain the perfect finish for a specific environment. Use high quality paint and select a well ventilated area before proceeding. If you are not sure what paint will be most suitable, consult a paint store professional or painter before purchase. You will need • A spray can of primer paint (Not necessary if you use plastic paint that does not require primer) • A spray can of paint in the color of your choice. Be sure to choose a grade of paint appropriate for the environment in which you wish to use the speaker. For example, use exterior-grade paint if you wish to use the speakers outdoors. • A paper clip or other similar small slim device for removing the speaker grille • Provided protective paint covers • 2 clean cloths, one damp and one dry • Masking tape Preparation 1. Remove the speaker from the speaker bracket (if the speaker is mounted in a speaker bracket). 2. Remove the grille from the loudspeaker (If they are attached). Removing the grille: Use a bent paper clip or other object with a hard tapered point inserted into the areas above and below the grille as indicated on the diagram to lift the four corners of the grille away from the speaker. 3. Using the damp cloth, wipe all surfaces of the speaker cabinet and grille clean. Do not touch the surface of the speaker baffle. Make sure that everything is dry before moving proceeding further. 4. Use masking tape to carefully mask off the screw-type input terminals at the rear of the speaker, and also to cover the the Yamaha logos on the grille. 5. Use the protective paint covers provided to carefully cover the speaker baffle. 8
