GRILLE
The speaker can be used with or without its grille in place.The g rille attaches magnetically;
you can remove the grille easily by pulling it forward and replace it simply by lining up its
edges with the those of the speaker cabinet.
The logo badge on the grille can be removed, rotated 90 degrees and replaced for proper orientation when using the SLX in a horizontal position.To remove the logo badge, simply push
the two pins on the rear of the logo badge together and push it out of its location on the grille.
To reinsert it,align the two pins with the hole in the grille and push the logo badge into place
(making sure the orientation of the logo badge is correct).

Your Synergy SLX speakers are designed for maximum flexibility and will perform well in a
wide variety of configurations. Figure 1 shows a typical home theater setup, with a centerchannel speaker (Synergy SLX) mounted below (or above) a flat panel tv,left and right front
speakers (Synergy SLX) flanking the screen, and another pair of speakers (Synergy SLX) to the
sides of the listening area for the main surrounds. Below are specific placement recommendations for each function.
