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 are magnetically shielded for safe placement adjacent to a television.

LACEMENT

NOTE: The satellite speakers can be placed directly on a shelf using one of the three included shelf stands, or mounted on a wall using the included wall brackets. Optional floor stands and in-wall recess kits are also available. Please contact your dealer.

Left and Right Front Channels

For left and right front channels, place one satellite to the left and another to the right of the television, as shown in Figure 1.

Since the speakers are magnetically shielded, you can place them very close to the TV without worrying about the magnetic field distorting the picture.

Surround Channels

For left and right surround channels, place one speaker on the left and another on the right, to the side of or slightly behind the listening area. The surround speakers should be mounted at a height of between 4 feet and 7 feet.

In 6- or 7-channel configurations, place the rear channel(s) behind the listening position, as shown in Figure 2.

NSTALLATION

Please read through this owner’s guide completely before attempting to install or connect the speakers. We understand that you may be anxious to play your new system, so we have made every effort to simplify the installation and connections of the

TSS-SAT4000.

Before proceeding, you should decide how you would like to install the TSS-SAT4000.The TSS-SAT4000 may be mounted on the included shelf stands; mounted on the wall using the included wall brackets; recessed in the wall using an optional flush-mount kit; or mounted to our optional floor stands.

Tabletop/Shelf Placement Assembly

Step One

Choose one of the three shelf stands on which to mount the satellite. If you decide to place the stand next to a television, the television’s height should be taken into consideration.

If you choose the shortest stand, follow steps two to four on page 6. If you choose either of the taller stands, follow steps two to five on page 7.

PEAKER

After placing the speaker, you are ready to connect it to your system. First, turn off all audio-system power. Use high-quality speaker wire to make the connections. Consult the owner’s manuals, included with your amplifier or receiver, for connection and operation procedures.

Surround Modes

When using the TSS-SAT4000 in a Dolby* Digital or DTS ® home theater system, make sure the receiver’s/processor’s speaker modes are set to “Small.”

Wiring and Polarity

The TSS-SAT4000 speaker has gold-plated terminals that can accept bare wire. To ensure proper polarity, connect each

+ terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker, as shown in

Figure 3. Connect the – (black) terminals in a similar way.

See the owner’s manuals that were included with your amplifier or receiver to confirm connection procedures.

Important!

Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +) when making connections. Doing so will degrade the imaging and bass response of the home theater system.

After correctly placing and wiring the TSS-SAT4000 and the rest of your speaker system, adjust the levels for all of the channels as recommended by the manufacturer of your receiver/processor.

– +

Figure 3. This example shows how to connect bare wires to the terminals. Banana plugs may also be inserted directly into the rear of the connector.

1 Loosen the terminals.

2 Insert bare ends; tighten terminals.
