INTRODUCTION
InfinityTotal 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
uncompromising performance in any stereo or multichannel
home theater system. In addition, this speaker is magnetically
shielded for safe placement adjacent to a television.
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.
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.
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.

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:
Center
Channel
• For best results, place the speakers 6'– 8' apart.
• Position each speaker so that the tweeter is approximately
at ear level.
Couch
• Generally, bass output will increase as the speaker is
moved closer to a wall or corner.

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
WALL-MOUNTING THE SATELLITES
The SAT-1100 satellites are designed to be mounted on the wall
if desired.There is a wall bracket included for each satellite
speaker. Each speaker bracket will require (3) 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.
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.
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.
Place bracket against the wall and mark the positions on the wall
where you would like to place the mounting screws.
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.
Step 2.
Place bracket against wall and fasten three 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.
Remove rear foot, place the speaker on the bracket and insert the
provided 1/4"-20 screw through the bottom of the bracket into
the threaded insert on the bottom of the satellite (Figure 3).Turn
satellite to desired angle and tighten.

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 loud-
speaker. If the problem appears in the opposite speaker, the
cause is in another component or cable. In the event that
your SAT-1100 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.
