BI-WIRING
The outer connection panel and internal dividing network of the Cascade
l
oudspeakers are designed so that separate sets of speaker cables can
be attached to the low-frequency transducer and midrange/high-
f
requency transducer portions of this dividing network.This is called
bi-wiring. Bi-wiring can provide several sonic advantages and
c
onsiderably more flexibility in power amplifier selection.

FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
Check the speakers for playback, first by setting the system volume con-
trol to a minimum level, and then by turning on the power of your audio
system. Play a favorite music or video segment and increase the system
volume control to a comfortable level.
NOTE: You should hear balanced audio reproduction across the entire
f
requency spectrum. If not, check all wiring connections or consult
the authorized Infinity dealer from whom you purchased the system.
The amount of bass you hear and the stereo-image quality will be affected
by a number of different factors,including the room’s size and shape,
the construction materials used to build the room, the listener’s position
relative to the speakers, and the position of the speakers in the room.
Listen to a variety of music selections and note the bass level. If there is
too much bass, move the speakers away from nearby walls. Conversely, if
you place the speakers closer to the walls, there will be more bass output.
Nearby reflecting surfaces can adversely affect stereo-imaging quality. If
this happens, try angling the speakers slightly inward toward the listening
position until the optimum effect is achieved.
CARE OF YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM
Each Cascade Series enclosure has a finish that does not require any
routine maintenance.When needed, use a soft cloth to remove any finger-
prints or dust from the enclosure.
NOTE: Do not use any cleaning products or polishes on the cabinet
or grille.
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 subwoofer ever needs service, contact your local Infinity
dealer or distributor, or go to www.infinitysystems.com to locate a service
center near you.
IMPORTANT: Please attach your sales receipt to this manual and store it
in a safe place. In the event that your Infinity speaker requires warranty
service, you will need to provide your sales receipt.
