Today, we are going to walk you through some important tips about the Revolution Theater chair along with showing you how to set one up right out of the box. The Revolution chair is THE ULTIMATE chair for your Home Theater. To learn more about all the great features these chairs offer, check out our full review here. With a chair of this size, we understand it may be overwhelming at first. But we are here to show you how easy it truly is.
One of the first steps you’ll want to take is to measure your door width to make sure these chairs will fit into your theater room. The height of the chair without the back installed is roughly 28 inches, which is important because you will flip the chair on its side to get it through your door. If you have a standard door frame with a width of 30 inches or up, you should be good to go.
If you are not ready to install them right away, you will need a place to store them. You will want to plan for this as the 2-Arm Boxes are 39" x 30.25" x 34.75", while the Left-arm and Right-arm boxes are 32.25" x 30.25" x 34.75". The boxes can safely be stacked two high when storing to help maximize your floor space - just make sure you have a helper when stacking them as these boxes weigh in just north of 150 pounds each. We have multiple configuration options for 2 chair rows, 3 chair rows, 4 chair rows, loveseats, and even more, depending on what works best for your space. If you need help deciding which chair setup is right for your space, check out our Home Theater Design Tool to design your room and determine which configuration is best.
Another important thing to think about is where to place your power if you are doing a new build. You will want to place your floor outlet 22 inches off the back wall so it is hidden in the center under the chair. Also, make sure the headrest of your chair is at least 8 inches from the back wall in the upright position to give clearance to be able to fully recline unimpeded. Now, don’t worry if you are retrofitting an existing theater or building one in an existing room and don’t want to add additional outlets. You can easily run extension cords to plug these chairs in. We do recommend a dedicated 20 amp circuit but they only use 2 amps per chair, so if it is a retrofit, a 15 amp circuit will be fine in most cases. Just make sure you are placing your extension cords and wires from chair to chair in a smart place so they are not getting crushed when the chair reclines and your guests don’t trip and cause a safety hazard.
We realize that everyone may not be placing their chairs against the back wall. In these cases, you will need to measure the distance from your back wall to the back of the headrest. Add 14 inches to this measurement to find the correct location for your floor outlet.
Once you have your chair opened up, you’ll move it into roughly the position you want it in your theater room. From there, you will take the back, slide it onto the rails, and connect the wires. Then, you will connect to power and test out all the buttons. It’s really as easy as that!
If you are assembling a multi-chair row, we suggest starting at the center of the row and working your way out. You will want to make sure that you have your center chair exactly where you want it. Then, you can work your way out from there, using the pre-installed alligator clips to secure each adjoining chair.
If you have a row with an odd number of chairs, find your center mark for the row and the center mark of the middle chair and line those up. If you have a row with an even number of chairs, find the center mark for the row and line that up to the middle of the center armrest.
If the chairs will be going on a riser, you will need to have a minimum depth of 6 feet in order to be able to fully recline. If you want to be able to walk in front of the chairs while they are reclined, we suggest going with at least a 7-foot deep riser.
We hope we’ve helped show you some good tips and just how simple these chairs are to set up.
