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 wire-
management, 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 [email protected].
Fine tuning your BDI 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 outside the
cabinet. If your floor is uneven, you may extend one or more levelers (with the provided
Leveler Wrench (C)) 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 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
adjustments 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 Phillips Screwdriver (B) to adjust Novia’s 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 degree).
NOTE: If your hinges have a Slotted Mounting Plate (as shown in Figure 2): Loosen Screws 2 one
complete turn, raise or lower door, then hold in position while tightening Screws 2 (on both hinges).
• 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.)
INCORRECT! Door is
out of alignment with
the rest of the unit.
CORRECT! Door is
sitting squarely and
evenly spaced on tops
and sides.
