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 use, place speakers alongside the listening position.
Final placement depends on room acoustics, availability of space
and your listening preference (Figures 2 and 3).
The CC225 center channel speaker should be placed on top of or directly
below the television and aimed toward the listening area.The CC225
speaker may also be wall-mounted. See page 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.
PLACEMENT
Stereo
Before deciding where to place your speakers, survey your room and
think about placement, keeping the following points in mind, using
Figure 1 as a guide:
• For best results, place the speakers 6'– 8' apart.
• Position each speaker so that the tweeter is approximately at ear level.
• Generally, bass output will increase as the speaker is moved closer to
a wall or corner.
• Refer to the “Home Theater”section if you also plan to use the speakers
for home theater reproduction.

WALL-MOUNTING THE C205
WALL-MOUNTING THE CC225
The C205 is designed to be mounted directly to a wall. Each speaker has
two keyholes on the back, and will require (2) 1-1/2," #8 wood screws
with a .33" (8.4mm) screwhead fastened to a wall stud. If a wall stud is
unavailable, install an anchor appropriate for a 1-1/2," #8 screw.
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.

The CC225 is designed to be mounted directly to a wall.The bracket has
four holes on the back, and will require (4) 1-1/2," #8 wood screws with
a .33" (8.4mm) screwhead fastened to wall studs.If wall studs are unavailable, install anchors appropriate for a 1-1/2," #8 screw.
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.
Attach the wall bracket to the wall at the desired location.
Step 2.
Securely fasten the two cleats to the rear of the speaker,
using two included 1/4"-20 panhead screws per cleat.
Step 1.
Mark the positions on the wall where you would like to place the
mounting screws.
Step 2.
Fasten two 1-1/2," #8 wood screws to the wall using the markings placed
in Step 1 as your guide. Leave an 11/16" space between the wall and
screwhead. If a wall stud is not available, use an appropriate anchor.
Step 3.
Place the speaker on the wall by aligning the keyholes on the back of
the speaker to the screwheads on the wall. Once positioned properly,
the speaker should slide down slightly and become secure.
INSTALLING SPIKED FEET
C336
Four metal spikes are supplied for use when using the outboard feet and
the speaker is to be placed on a carpeted surface to decouple the speaker
from the floor and prevent unwanted damping.To insert the spikes, gently
lay the speaker on its back (not its front or side) on a soft, nonabrasive
surface, unscrew the four rubber-tipped feet and store in a safe place.
Each spike then screws into the threaded insert. Make sure all four spikes
are screwed in completely for stability.
NEVER drag the speaker to move it,as this will damage the spikes,the feet,the
wood cabinet itself,and/or the floor. Always lift the speaker and carry it to its
new location.
Step 3.
Carefully slide the cleats on the rear of the speakers over the tabs
of the wall bracket.
