1. Carefully unpack the speakers. If you suspect damage from
transit, report it immediately to your dealer and/or delivery
service. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for
future use.
PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM
The Infinity Minuette L-MPS Theater Pac consists of specific
components for your home entertainment system. It is a fivepiece system which includes four Minuette L-MPS (Multi-Purpose
Satellite) speakers and one Minuette Center-Channel speaker.
The Minuette L-MPS speakers reproduce sound for the front
and rear channels, while the Minuette Center-Channel speaker
enhances dialogue from the center channel. To help plan your
system, study the drawing (shown in Figure 1) to determine a
placement that best suits your needs.
2. Verify that the package includes the following items:
– (4) Minuette L-MPS Speakers
– (1) Minuette Center-Channel Speaker
– (4) Mounting Brackets (for L-MPS Speakers)
– (4) Satellite Bases (for L-MPS Speakers)
– (1) Owner’s Manual
FIGURE 1. In this overhead view of a typical 6-piece home entertainment system, Minuette L-MPS speakers are used to reproduce
sound for the front and rear (surround) channels. The Minuette
Center-Channel speaker is used to enhance center-channel dialogue.
An optional Infinity Powered Subwoofer is shown providing extra
bass for effects and music.
PLACEMENT
FRONT PLACEMENT
Using speaker stands or bookshelves, place a pair of L-MPS
speakers on their bases (included) and place on either side of
the television. They can be aimed at the viewing audience, if
desired (see Figure 1). Experiment with different placement to
find the most pleasing effect for your system.
NOTE: Minuette L-MPS speakers may be placed vertically on their
bases or horizontally (see Figures 2 and 3 on the next page).
For wall and ceiling mounting, L-MPS speakers can be installed
in a variety of ways, as shown in Figures 5 through 8 (on the
next two pages). You can mount the speakers directly with
screws (not included), or use the enclosed mounting brackets.
Locate a stud for secure mounting. Use heavy-duty screws with
long threads so there is an adequate number of threads holding
the speaker (or speaker/bracket) to the wall. Test the mounting
thoroughly before final installation.
REAR PLACEMENT
For rear channel placement, follow the same procedure for
front placement, except place a pair of L-MPS speakers
slightly behind or ahead and above either side of the viewing
audience (see Figure 1).
CENTER PLACEMENT
Place your Minuette Center-Channel speaker on top of the
television (see Figure 4 on the next page). Aim it directly at the
viewing audience (see Figure 1), so that center channel dialogue
is heard correctly.

WIRING THE SYSTEM
After placing the Minuette L-MPS Theater Pac, you are ready
to wire your speakers. First turn off all audio system power.
Use high-quality speaker wire (#16 gauge or heavier) to make
your connections. Consult the owner’s manuals that were
included with your amplifier, receiver, or television to confirm
connection procedures.
Minuette L-MPS Theater Pac speakers have spring-loaded terminals for easy wiring. Observe polarities when making speaker
connections, as shown in Figure 9. Connect each + terminal on
the back of the amplifier, receiver, or television to the respective
+ (red) terminal on each Minuette L-MPS Theater Pac speaker.
Similarly, connect the – (black) terminal in the same way.
IMPORTANT! Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +)
when making connections. Doing so will cause poor
imaging and diminished bass response.

Theater Pac speakers to an A/V (audio/video) receiver in a system.

UNDERSTANDING POWER RATINGS
An A/V (audio/video) receiver with limited power output can
actually cause damage to your speakers. When played beyond
its power capability, it will go into clipping. This generates
spurious high-frequency signals which, when routed to the
tweeter, can cause it to overheat and fail.
IN CASE OF TROUBLE
Before consulting your dealer, Infinity service facility or factory
service department, you can perform simple troubleshooting. If
the sound quality is distorted, listen to each speaker separately
to check if the fault is present in both. If it is, then the trouble is
likely to be elsewhere in your system. If the fault is in one
channel only, switch the left and right speaker leads at the
receiver. If the distortion moves to the other speaker, the fault
is not in the speaker.
SPECIFICATIONS
Overdriving the power amplifier must be avoided. It is always a
good idea to choose a receiver with more power than you need.
(Refer to power ratings in Specifications below.)
If there is no authorized service facility near you, contact the
Service Department at Infinity Customer Service, 80 Crossways
Park West, Woodbury, NY 11797, (516) 496-3400, and
describe the problem as specifically as possible. The service
department will advise you what action to take.
Note: Do not ship any parts or whole speakers for service without
prior approval (“Return Authorization”), and do not ship without
enclosing a copy of your original bill of sale and a description of
the problem.

LIMITED WARRANTY
WHO IS PROTECTED BY THE WARRANTY?
Your Infinity warranty protects the original retail purchaser
and all subsequent owners for a period of five (5) years (parts
and labor) from any failure as a result of original manufacturing
defect so long as: (1) your Infinity loudspeaker was purchased
within the fifty United States 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.
WHAT DOES THE INFINITY WARRANTY COVER?
Except as specified below, this warranty covers all defects in
original materials and workmanship. The following are not
covered: damage caused by accident, misuse, abuse, neglect,
product modification; damage occurring during shipment;
damage caused by failure to follow instructions in the owner's
manual, including failure to perform recommended periodic or
routine maintenance; damage resulting from repairs by
someone not authorized by Infinity; claims based upon any
misrepresentations by the seller; and any Infinity product on
which the serial number has been altered, defaced, or removed.
WHO PAYS FOR WHAT?
During the period of the warranty, subject to the above
conditions, Infinity will pay all of the labor and material
expenses to repair a warrantable defect.
HOW CAN WARRANTY SERVICE BE OBTAINED?
In the event that your Infinity loudspeaker should require
service, you should first contact the Infinity dealer from whom
the product was purchased or, if this is not practical, contact
Infinity directly (ATTN: Customer Service) at 80 Crossways
Park West, Woodbury, NY 11797, (516) 496-3400.
We may direct you to an authorized service center for Infinity
products or ask you to send them to us for repair. In either
case, you will have to present your original bill-of-sale to establish warranty coverage. Do not send your speaker to us
without prior authorization from our Customer Service
Department.
You are responsible for transporting your product to either
Infinity or an authorized service center and for payment of all
shipping charges; however, Infinity will pay the return shipping
charges (in the event you return the product to us) if the
repairs are covered by warranty.
If you experience difficulty in transporting you product or are
in need of packing materials, please advise us and we may be
able to suggest alternative procedures and/or provide adequate
packing materials.
LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES:
All implied warranties, including fitness for a particular
purpose and merchantability are limited in duration and length
to the warranty period for your product.
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES:
Infinity is not responsible for any incidental or consequential
damage of any kind. Our liability is limited to the repair or
replacement, at our option, of a defective product.
Some states do not allow limitations on how an implied
warranty lasts and/or do not allow the exclusion of incidental
or consequential damage, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also
have other rights which vary from state-to-state.
NOTE: In the event that there is a difference between this
warranty and the provisions in any advertisements, product
brochures or packaging cartons, the terms of this warranty
will prevail.
