Unpacking The Loudspeaker And Attaching The Feet - McIntosh XR100 Owner's Manual

Unpacking the Loudspeaker and
Attaching the Feet
Caution: The XR100 feet are packed separate from
the Loudspeaker. It is very important to
install the four feet on the bottom of the
Loudspeaker. This will greatly prevent
possible injury to small children and
family pets. If the Loudspeaker is to be
installed into custom cabinetry the feet
need not be attached to the Loudspeaker.
To protect the fine finish of the XR100 Loudspeaker
System during the installation process, it is advisable
to prepare a suitable area. A freshly vacuumed car-
peted area covered with a soft, clean fabric, such as a
large bed linen or blanket would be suitable.
It is recommended that the Professionals at your
McIntosh Dealer, who are skilled in all aspects of
installation and operation, install the XR100 Loud-
speaker System and any associated audio equipment.
Note: Refer to illustration on page 15 for unpacking
the loudspeaker.
1. Orient the XR100 shipping carton with the letter-
ing on the outside of the carton oriented upward.
2. Carefully cut open the shipping carton sealing
tape and open the carton flaps.
3. Remove the accessory box containing the Loud-
speaker Feet (including Glides and
Tiptoes) along with mounting bolts.
4. Remove the Loudspeaker System with
top, center and bottom foam pads by

5. Release the Loudspeaker and the
box containing the Grille from the
foam caps and set them aside.

6. Close the top flaps of the shipping carton and
place the top and bottom foam pads on top of the
carton. Refer to figure 7A for the next several
steps.

ish. Then remove the protective plastic film wrap
from the Loudspeaker Cabinet.
8. Place the just removed protective fiber cover on
top of the shipping carton/foam end caps.
9. Place the Loudspeaker System, with the front fac-
ing up, on top of the protective fiber cover.

Note: If the XR100 is to be installed into custom
cabinetry it is advisable to protect the finish
of the Loudspeaker bottom with felt pads or
equivalent protection.
12. Attach the four Glides or Tiptoes into the tapped
holes in the bottom of the XR100 feet.
13. Stand the Loudspeaker upright and place it in the
desired location. The Glides or Tiptoes can be
independently adjusted to compensate for uneven
flooring or to aim the loudspeakers upward or
downward.
Note: Retain the shipping carton, foam packing ma-
terial and fiber cover for possible future use.
The XR100 Loudspeaker Grille is secured to the
Loudspeaker Cabinet with magnetic fasteners.
14. Orient the Loudspeaker Grille so the word "TOP"
(located on the inside of the Grille Frame) is
pointing upward. Refer to figure 8. Next place the
Loudspeaker Grille onto the Front of the Loud-
speaker Cabinet, making sure to align the Grille
Top with the Top of the Cabinet.
