OWNER’S MANUAL >> IN-CEILING LCR SPEAKERS ES-HT700-ICLCR-5 Thank you for purchasing a great product from one of the best sounding speaker lines available today, Episode™. We appreciate your purchase and are committed to providing the highest quality products possible. The Episode in-ceiling models are a superb choice for almost every type of home theater or home audio installation. They have been designed with advanced technological components that allow for high performance and a lifetime of enjoyment. PAINTING The speaker grill can be painted to match the ceiling color. Only paint the grill when it has been removed from the speaker. Remove the scrim cloth on the back of the grill before painting and reapply after painting. The cloth is adhered using repositionable spray adhesive. No need to add any adhesive when reapplying. The grill should be painted with great care taken not to clog the fine holes with paint. Options of painting are: • Spray paint (‘dust’) several thin layers instead of a few thick layers. • Use a ‘dry’ brush or roller to minimize the amount of paint applied in each layer. TROUBLESHOOTING Episode speakers are designed to function trouble-free. Most problems that occur are due to simple issues. If you have trouble, please check the list of simple fixes below. If the problem persists, contact Episode Tech Support at 1.866.838.5052. NO SOUND • Verify that there is audio coming from the source selected. Select another source if necessary. • Ensure that any power amplifiers are turned on and connected properly. • Check any connections at other devices, such as a volume control. Temporarily bypass the control if needed. • Check wire connections at each speaker not producing sound for good contact to bare wire, not wire insulation. WARRANTY Limited Lifetime Warranty Episode in-wall, in-ceiling and bookshelf Speakers have a Lifetime Limited Warranty. This warranty includes parts and labor repairs on all components found to be defective in material or workmanship under normal conditions of use. This warranty shall not apply to products which have been abused, modified or disassembled. Products to be repaired under this warranty must be returned to SnapAV or a designated service center with prior notification and an assigned return authorization number (RA) TONE CONTROLS • After the speaker is installed, please test the speaker using music or content you are familiar with. • The 700 series speakers allow you to control the amount of treble. The factory setting is in the plus “+” position and gives a full and clear sound in a typical furnished room with absorption from soft materials like carpets, furniture and people. If the room is very reverberant you decrease the tweeter response and high frequency clarity by moving the switch to the minus “-” position. • The 700 series speakers allow you to also control the woofer crossover response. The factory setting is also in the plus “+” position for a full and clear sound in a typical furnished room. Depending on the room acoustics you might need to subtract some of the mid-bass to obtain better clarity by moving the woofer switch to the minus “-” position. This is convenient in installation areas that have a large amount of reflective surfaces, such as glass, hardwood floors, concrete, etc. • Please adjust the control(s) until the sound is optimized for the environment • Place the magnetic grill over the speaker. Make sure it is flush against the ceiling. +­ -­ Lifetime
