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 frame and grill can be painted to match the ceiling color. If it is necessary to paint the
frame while installed, the provided paint mask should be used in place of the grille to protect the
speaker. Only paint the grill when it has been removed from the speaker.
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,

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.
TREBLE LEVELCoNTRoL
• After the speaker is installed, please test the speaker using familiar music or content.
The 500 series DVC speaker allows you to control the amount of treble. This is convenient
in installation areas that have a large amount of reflective surfaces, such as glass, hardwood
floors, concrete, etc. Adjust each tweeter independently until the sound is optimized for
the environment.
• Carefully insert the grille into the speaker.
