2. NOTES ON DISASSEMBLING AND REASSEMBLING
2.1 DISASSEMBLING AND REASSEMBLING OF THE CST UNIT
2.2 DISASSEMBLING AND REASSEMBLING OF THE WOOFER UNIT
Cleaning
Use a soft cloth to wipe off dirt and foreign matter, such as fingerprints, from the cabinet after repair.
(Do NOT use silk cloth because its fibers are coarse and may easily scratch the cabinet.)
Note: The CST unit can be disassembled or reassembled with the cabinet in the upright position.
1. To remove the gasket, thrust an eyeleteer or the blade of a cutter into the gap between the gasket and its surrounding.
If the gasket is damaged while being removed, replace it.
2. Remove the screws that secure the CST unit.
3. For reassembling, see "2.3 CABLE CONNECTION AND LOCATION OF THE TERMINALS OF THE SPEAKER UNIT."
When reattaching the gasket, push it in so that the gasket is level with the trim ring.
Tools to be used:
· Hexagonal wrench, Size 3 mm (for the fixing screws of the CST unit)
· Eyeleteer or cutter (for the gasket)
Use several blankets to obtain
sufficient cushioning.
Blankets
Blankets
1. For protection of the speaker cabinet, lay several blankets
or equivalents to obtain sufficient cushioning. Lay the
speaker on the blankets, as shown in the upper figure.
2. Thrust an eyeleteer or a similar tool into the gap between
the screw caps and the cabinet and pull them out.
As the screw caps cannot be reused, procure new ones in
advance.
3. Remove the screws from the speaker unit then remove the
woofer unit. As the woofer unit is quite heavy, if all the
screws are removed with the speaker unit placed on its
side as shown in Step 1, the speakers may come off and
damage the baffle. Therefore, before removing the last
screw, have two people hold the speaker unit so that the
speakers face upward, as shown in the lower figure.
4. For reassembling, see "2.3 CABLE CONNECTION AND
LOCATION OF THE TERMINALS OF THE SPEAKER
UNIT." When securing the screws, to fix the speakers in the
right positions, have two people hold the speaker unit so
that the speakers face upward.
5. Install the new screw caps.
Tools to be used:
· Hexagonal wrench, Size 4 mm (for the fixing screws of the
woofer unit)
· Eyeleteer (for the screw caps)
· Screw caps SNK2943, 6/unit

Notes on assembling the Terminal Assy
(When replacing the connection cables or the Network
Assy for the woofers)
1. Pass the cables through the holes on the rear panel of the
cabinet and wind the packing at the designated places
(see the figure at left). Adjust for the thickness of the
packing, and cut off the unnecessary remaining packing
material. As this packing cannot be reused, procure it in
advance.
2. Connect the cables of the Network Assy then push the
cables back into the cabinet so that the holes are properly
filled with the packing.
Tools to be used:
· Hexagonal wrench, Size 2 mm (for connection of the connecting cables to the Terminal Assy)
· Hexagonal wrench, Size 4 mm (for the fixing screws of the Terminal Assy)
· Phillips screwdriver (for connection of the connecting cables between the terminals of the speaker unit and the Network Assy)
· Box wrench, Size 7 mm, for M4 nuts (for the nuts attaching the Network Assy)
· Packing SEC2109 (for replacement of the connection cables or the Network Assy for the woofers)
