INTRODUCTION
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).

InfinityTotal Solutions
Infinity Total Solutions continues Infinity’s longstanding
commitment to accurate sound reproduction. Our high-quality
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.
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.
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.

and think about placement, keeping the following points in mind,
using Figure 1 as a guide:

WALL-MOUNTING THE SATELLITE
S
PEAKER CONNECTIONS
The TSS-450 satellite is designed to be mounted on the wall.
There is a wall bracket for each satellite speaker. Each speaker
bracket will require (4) 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.
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 four 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.
Screw the post of the bracket into the 1/4"-20 threaded insert
on the back of the satellite.Adjust the satellite to the desired
angle and tighten the knob using the enclosed metal bar.

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-450 ever needs service, contact your local Infinity
dealer or Infinity directly at 516.674.4INF (4463) (USA only) or
www.infinitysystems.com for a service center near you.
