The Infinity CC-2 is a low-profile 2-way speaker system designed
specifically for center-channel use. It features extended high-frequency
response and a fine-adjustment voice-matching control, all designed to
help seamlessly integrate the sound of the CC-2 with other speakers in
your home theater system.
This efficient, magnetically-shielded speaker requires only minimal
power to produce sound levels greater than those heard in a movie
theater. The accompanying speaker stand allows a vertical tilt range of
25 degrees for ideal sound coverage whether placed on top of or below
the television.
Please read the remaining pages before connecting and operating the
CC-2 speaker. Maximum performance is dependent on following these
instructions, as well as those listed in the owner’s manuals of associated
components in your home theater system. Save these instructions for
future reference. These speakers are covered by a limited five-year
warranty, so save the bill of sale to protect your purchase and aid in any
service-related questions.

To help plan your home theater system, study the layout in Figure 1,
which represents a typical living room where the home theater system
is the main focus.
For best results, the CC-2 center-channel speaker should be placed
horizontally in its stand on top of the television or on a shelf directly
above the set (see Placement on the next page). Or, if space is at a
premium, an alternate location is below the television on a shelf. Make
sure the CC-2 faces the viewing audience.

PLACEMENT
The CC-2 center-channel speaker is designed for easy placement on top
of a television via the enclosed stand, as shown in Figure 2. If the top of
the television is not deep enough, place the CC-2 on a shelf directly
above it. Or place the speaker on a shelf below the set and tilt the CC-2
up in its stand towards listeners (refer to Figure 3).
TILTING THE SPEAKER...
IMPORTANT!
Figure 3. The CC-2 center-channel
speaker can be tilted up or down in
its stand.
If needed, the enclosed stand allows you to tilt the speaker across a
25-degree range (i.e., 18° up and 7° down), as shown in Figure 3.
DO NOT EXCEED THE TILT RANGE. Doing so may cause the speaker
to fall out of its stand.
After placing the speaker, you are ready to connect it to your system.
First turn off all audio system power. Use high-quality speaker wire to
make the connections. Consult the owner’s manuals (included with your
amplifier, receiver, or television) for connection and operation procedures.
When using the CC-2 for center-channel reproduction, set the centerchannel mode (on a Dolby Pro Logic preamplifier or A/V receiver) to
NORMAL. This will route the low frequencies (below 100 Hz) away
from the center-channel speaker to the front left and right speakers.
Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in
Figures 4 (below) and 5 (on the next page). Connect the appropriate
+ terminal on the back of the amplifier, receiver, or television to the
respective + (red) terminal on the CC-2 speaker. Similarly, connect the
– (black) terminals in the same way.
Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to - or - to +) when making connections.
After placing and wiring the speakers, turn on audio system power.
Follow the instructions (packed with your A/V preamplifier or receiver)
to calibrate the Dolby
built-in test tone to help you balance the sound levels to all speakers in
your system.

During calibration, verify that the CC-2 center-channel speaker
reproduces the test tone. If not, check the wiring connections and see
the Troubleshooting chart (on the next page) for help.
Once calibration is complete, audition a variety of home theater
selections and listen to the sound quality of the dialogue reproduced by

Your Infinity warranty protects the original retail purchaser and all subsequent owners for a period of five (5)
years (parts and labor) for all speaker components from any failure as a result of an original manufacturing
defect so long as: (1) your Infinity loudspeakers were purchased within the fifty states of the U.S.A. or by
military personnel from an authorized military outlet and (2) the original dated bill of sale is presented
whenever service is required during the warranty period. This warranty does not apply to products purchased
elsewhere; other purchasers should contact their local Infinity distributor for warranty information.

perform recommended periodic or routine maintenance; damage resulting from repairs by someone not
authorized by Infinity; claims based upon any misrepresentations by the sellers; and any Infinity product on

Who pays for what?
During the period of this warranty, subject to the above conditions, Infinity will pay all of the labor and
