INTRODUCTION PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM Infinity Total Solutions™ Before deciding where to best place your speakers, survey your room and study Figures 1 and 2. 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 uncompromised performance in any stereo or multichannel home theater system.
ENGLISH PLACEMENT Left and Right Front Channels Using the Satellite on the Shelf Stand For left and right front channels, place one satellite to the left and another to the right of the television, as shown in Figure 1. Since the speakers are magnetically shielded, you can place them very close to the TV without worrying about the magnetic field distorting the picture.
Adjustable Wall Bracket Step 1. Mark the positions on the wall where you would like to place the mounting screws. Step 4. Screw the ball and shaft assembly (B) to the lower 1/4"-20 insert on the rear of the satellite, or the upper insert on the rear of the center channel. Back out 1/2 of a turn and tighten the nut against the speaker. Step 2. Place bracket against the wall and fasten four 1-1/2" #10 wood screws through the bracket’s screw holes into the wall.
ENGLISH CENTER AND SATELLITE SPEAKER CONNECTIONS Turn Off All Power Center Channel After placing the speakers, you are ready to connect your system. First, turn off all audio-system power. Use high-quality speaker wire to make your connections. #18-gauge speaker wire with polarity coding is included. 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., +).

OPERATION Surround Modes Crossover Adjustment When using the TSS-800 in a Dolby Digital or DTS home theater system, make sure all speakers are set to “Small”. In a Dolby Pro Logic® home theater system, make sure the receiver’s center channel mode is set to “Normal.” The Crossover Frequency Control 1 determines the highest frequency at which the subwoofer reproduces sounds. For the TSS800, it is recommended that this control be set at 120Hz (approximately the 3 o’clock position).
