Fine tuning your new BDI Venue Home Theater Furniture

These steps are to be followed after you have unpacked and completed the simple assembly instructions for
your AV cabinet. Due to jostling in freight or perhaps an uneven floor, the doors on your cabinet may not appear
to be in perfect alignment. Making a few minor adjustments can rectify this situation. The high-quality European
hinge hardware is adjustable. Through a little adjustment, you can modify the orientation of the cabinet doors to
make sure that they are sitting perfectly on your unit.

STEP 1 - Level your unit

Levelers are integrated into each leg assembly and are accessed at the bottom of each cabinet leg. If your floor
is uneven, you may extend one or more levelers to attain a level, stable cabinet placement. Turning the leveler
clockwise will extend the leveler; turning it counter-clockwise will retract it.

STEP 2 - Adjust Door Hinges (if needed)

The doors on your cabinet should be evenly spaced and the doors should open and close freely without rubbing
against the door frame. 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 adjustable, adjusting one hinge
element can sometimes cause the need for adjustments to other elements. But with a few adjustments, you can
modify the orientation of the cabinet doors to make sure that they hang perfectly within your cabinet.

Use the Phillips Screwdriver T1 supplied to adjust the door hinges:

•By adjusting Screw 1, the door will move LEFT or RIGHT within the frame.

Make minor adjustments at both top and bottom hinges for best results.

•By adjusting Screw 2 the entire door will move IN or OUT, opening or

closing the gap between the door frame and cabinet. (This screw rarely
needs adjustment.)
