WIRING THE SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any connections.
For speaker connections, use a minimum #16-gauge speaker wire with polarity coding. The
side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive polarity (i.e.,
+
).
NOTE: If desired, consult your local Infinity dealer about speaker wire and connection options.
The speakers have coded terminals that accept a variety of wire connectors. The most common
connection is shown in Figure 4.
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 5. Connect
the
-
(black) terminals in a similar way. See the owner’s manuals that were included
with your amplifier, receiver and television to confirm connection procedures.
Do not reverse polarities (i.e.,
+
to
-
or
-
to
+
) when making connections. Doing so will
cause poor imaging and diminished bass response
