Infinity Total Solutions
™
Infinity Total Solutions continues Infinity’s longstanding commitment to accurate sound reproduction. Our proprietary
Metal Matrix Diaphragm (MMD ™ ) drivers, precision dividing networks and rigid, well-braced enclosures combine to deliver uncompromised performance in any stereo or multichannel home theater system. In addition, these speakers, except for the powered subwoofer, are magnetically shielded for safe placement adjacent to a television.
Unpacking the Speaker
If you suspect damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for future use.
P
LACEMENT
Stereo
Before deciding where to place your speakers, survey your room and think about placement, keeping the following points in mind, using Figure 1 as a guide:
• For best results, place the speakers 6'– 8' apart.
• Position each speaker so that the tweeter is approximately at ear level.
• Generally, bass output will increase as the speaker is moved closer to a wall or corner.
• Refer to “Home Theater” below if you also plan to use the speakers for home theater reproduction.

Home Theater
For front-channel use, place one speaker on the left and another on the right, along either side of the television monitor. Since the speakers are magnetically shielded, you can place them without worrying about the field distorting the TV picture.
For surround-channel use, place speakers on bookshelves or stands alongside the listening position. Final placement depends on room acoustics, availability of space, and your listening preference (Figures 2 and 3).
In 6 or 7 channel configurations, place the rear channel(s) behind the listening position, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
NOTE: An Infinity powered subwoofer will add impact and realism to both music and film soundtracks. Contact your Infinity dealer for recommendations on subwoofer models for your application.

ATELLITES
The SAT-750 satellites are designed to be mounted on the wall.
There is a wall bracket for each satellite speaker. Each speaker bracket will require (2) 1-1/2," #10 wood screws; each screw should be fastened to a wall stud. If a wall stud is unavailable, install an anchor appropriate for a 1-1/2," #10 screw.
NOTE: The customer is responsible for the correct selection and use of mounting hardware (available through hardware stores) that will ensure the proper and safe wall-mounting of the speakers.
Step 1.
Mark the positions on the wall where you would like to place the mounting screws.
Step 2.
Place bracket against wall and fasten two 1-1/2," #10 wood screws through the bracket’s screw holes into the wall. If a wall stud is not available, use an appropriate anchor.
Step 3.
Place the speaker on the wall by sliding the opening on the bottom of the speaker over the bracket hook on the wall. Once positioned properly, the speaker should slide down slightly and become secure.

ONNECTIONS
Turn Off All Power
First, turn off all audio-system power. Use high-quality speaker wire to make your connections. #18-Gauge speaker wire with polarity coding is recommended. For longer distances, #16-gauge or heavier wire is recommended.The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive polarity (i.e., +).
Also, consult the owner’s manuals that were included with your amplifier or receiver to confirm connection procedures.
Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in Figure 5. Connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker. Connect the – (black) terminals in the same way.
Important!
Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished bass response. Be certain that positive and negative wire strands are completely isolated to avoid short circuits that may damage your equipment.

Surround Modes
When using the system in a Dolby* Digital or DTS home theater system, make sure all SAT-750 speakers are set to “Small”.
When using the SAT-750 in a Dolby Pro Logic* home theater system, make sure the receiver’s center channel mode is set to “Normal.”
Some Dolby Digital-equipped receivers/processors offer different setup options for each source or surround mode, e.g., CD-stereo, videotape, Dolby, Pro Logic. In each case, follow your equipment’s instructions to ensure that the subwoofer output is turned on and that the speakers are set to “Small” in each mode.

The satellite enclosure may be cleaned using a soft cloth to remove fingerprints or to wipe off dust.
All wiring connections should be inspected and cleaned or remade periodically.The frequency of maintenance depends on the metals involved in the connections, atmospheric conditions, and other factors, but once per year is the minimum.
If a problem occurs, make sure that all connections are properly made and clean. If a problem exists in one loudspeaker, reverse the connection wires to the left and right system. If the problem remains in the same speaker, then the fault is with the loudspeaker. If the problem appears in the opposite speaker, the cause is in another component or cable. In the event that your SAT-750 ever needs service, contact your local Infinity dealer or Infinity directly at 516-674-4INF (USA only) or www.infinitysystems.com for a service center near you.
