Thank you for choosing BDI.

Your BDI home theater cabinet is engineered to include a range of adjustments. Please read and retain this guide so that
you can fully enjoy the look and use of your cabinet for years to come.

Unless manual leveling is required or you wish to prevent the cabinet from rolling, you may prefer to keep the cabinet’s
levelers up and off the floor. This allows easier cabinet movement for greater access to rear panels and wire­management, and permits easier cleaning/vacuuming underneath the cabinet.

By following the steps in this guide, you can be sure that your BDI cabinet is in optimum tune and adjustment. If you need
additional assistance, contact BDI at [e-mail].

Fine tuning your BDI Avion Home Theater Furniture

After unpacking and assembling your cabinet, inspect it to be sure that it is sitting level on the floor, that all doors appear
level, and that they open and close freely without rubbing or binding.

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
minimized or eliminated with only a few minor adjustments.

STEP 1 - Level the cabinet (if needed)

Levelers are integrated into each leg assembly and are accessed from inside
the cabinet. If your floor is uneven, you may extend one or more levelers (with the
provided 4mm Hex Drivers (B)) to attain a level, stable cabinet placement. Turning
the leveler clockwise will extend the leveler; turning it counter-clockwise will retract it.

INCORRECT! Door is
out of alignment with
the rest of the unit.

CORRECT! Door is sit­ting squarely and evenly
spaced on tops and
sides.

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 infinitely 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 a Phillips screwdriver 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(s) 2, the door will move UP or DOWN

within the frame (the top and bottom hinges must be adjusted the
same amount).

By adjusting • Screw 3 the entire door will move IN or OUT,

opening or closing the gap between the door frame and cabinet
(this screw rarely needs adjustment).
