- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Attach Support Posts to Base: Secure the four black support posts to the bottom panel using the provided hardware. Ensure they are firmly tightened.
- Install Side Panels: Attach the side panels to the support posts, aligning the pre-drilled holes. Use the appropriate screws or cam locks as indicated in the hardware diagram.
- Insert Shelves: Place the shelf pins into the desired height holes on the side panels. Slide the adjustable shelves onto the pins. Ensure shelves are level and secure.

Operating Instructions
The Synergy Twin 30 Core Module is designed to house audio-visual components and provide organized storage.
- Component Placement: Place AV components such as receivers, amplifiers, and media players on the shelves. Distribute weight evenly.
- Cable Management: Utilize the cable cutouts in the rear panel to route power and signal cables. This helps maintain a tidy appearance and prevents cable strain.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around your components to prevent overheating. Do not block ventilation openings on your devices or the cabinet. The open design of this module aids in natural convection.
- TV Placement: The top surface is suitable for TVs up to 50 inches. Ensure the TV base fits securely and does not overhang excessively.
Maintenance
Proper care will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your AV cabinet.
- Cleaning: Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for wood finishes. Wipe dry immediately.
- Avoid Moisture: Do not allow liquids to sit on the surface. Wipe spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the wood finish.
- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the wood.
- Heat Protection: Use coasters or protective pads under hot items to prevent heat marks.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet is wobbly or unstable. | Loose assembly hardware; uneven floor. | Tighten all screws and fasteners. Ensure the cabinet is on a level surface; use shims if necessary. |
| Shelves do not sit level. | Shelf pins not fully inserted or unevenly placed. | Ensure all shelf pins are fully inserted into the corresponding holes at the same height on both sides. |
| Scratches or minor damage to finish. | Accidental impact or abrasive cleaning. | For minor scratches, a wood repair kit or furniture polish may help. Consult a professional for significant damage. |
