MODULUS II HOME THEATER SYSTEM
Adjust the controls as indicated by the Measurement Template.
Each value shown in the table is represented by detents in
the R.A.B.O.S. controls. Simply count the number of detents
necessary, indicated by the results of your R.A.B.O.S.Test.
After performing these adjustments, you may skip forward to
the “Final System Balance”section. It is recommended that you
perform a second measurement to confirm that the settings
are correct.
If you are going to retest the system after EQ adjustments,
repeat the “Setting the Subwoofer Test Level”section on p. 11.
Retesting the system will go much faster if you use
Tracks 27–50.These tracks contain all the same test tones you
just used. However, each tone plays for only a few seconds and
there is no frequency announcement. If you are uncomfortable
operating at this pace, you may, of course, perform measure-
ments with the original test tracks.
Your first interpretation of the data and choice of settings may
not be optimum.You can repeat the test-adjust-test cycle as
often as needed to get the desired results.To do this, return to
page 11,“Setting the Subwoofer Test Level.”You may prefer
to retest using the same template. Doing so makes it easy to
evaluate the improvement.
When you are satisfied with the results, go to “Final System
Balance.”
Final System Balance
Cue Track 51 of the R.A.B.O.S.Test CD. Press Play . Increase
the system volume until the RSLM indicates –10dB. Now play
Track 52.Adjust the subwoofer gain control until –10dB
is indicated on the RSLM. Of course, you may fine-tune the
subwoofer gain control to your listening preference.
This concludes the R.A.B.O.S. process. It is recommended that
you remove the battery from the RSLM. Store the Test CD,Width
Selector,Adjustment Key and the RSLM together.

The satellite and subwoofer enclosures may be cleaned using a
soft cloth to remove fingerprints or to wipe off dust.
The grilles may be gently vacuumed. Stains may be removed with
an aerosol cleaner, following its instructions. Do not use any
solvents on the grille.
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 loud-
speaker. If the problem appears in the opposite speaker, the
cause is in another component or cable. In the event that your
Modulus II loudspeaker system ever needs service, contact your
local Infinity dealer or Infinity directly at 1.800.553.3332 or
www.infinitysystems.com for a service center near you.
