PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM
Before deciding where to best place your speakers, survey your room and
study Figures 1 and 2.
PLACEMENT
NOTE: The TSS-SAT1200 can be placed directly on a shelf,
r mounted on a wall using the included wall brackets.
o
As Left and Right Front Channels
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.
As Surround Channels
For left and right surround channels, place one speaker on the
left and another on the right, to the side of or slightly behind the
listening area.The surround speakers should be mounted at a
height of between 5 ft. (1.5m) and 7 ft. (2m).
In 6- or 7-channel configurations,place the rear channel(s)
behind the listening position, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
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.
Mounting on Floor Stands
An optional floor stand is available,should you prefer to place
your TSS-SAT1200 satellites on the floor; see your dealer or visit
www.infinitysystems.com for more information.

WALL-MOUNTING THE SATELLITES
SS-SAT1200 satellites are designed to also be mounted on the
T
wall.There is a fixed-mount wall bracket and an adjustable wall
bracket provided for each satellite. Each speaker bracket will
require up to four 1-1/2"#10
be fastened to a wall stud. If a wall stud is unavailable,install an
nchor appropriate for a 1-1/2"

CONNECTIONS
fter placing the speakers,you are ready to connect your system.
A
First,turn off all audio system power. Use high-quality speaker
ire to make your connections; #18-gauge speaker wire with
w
polarity coding is recommended.For longer distances, #16-
auge or heavier wire is recommended.The side of the wire with
g
a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive polarity
(i.e., +). Also, consult the owner’s manuals that were included
with your amplifier or receiver to confirm connection procedures.
Observe polarities when making speaker connections,as shown in
Figure 4.Connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or
receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker.
Connect the – (black) terminals 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.Be certain that positive and negative wire strands
are completely isolated to avoid short circuits that may damage
your equipment.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
he TSS-SAT1200 enclosure may be cleaned using a soft cloth
T
o remove fingerprints or to wipe off dust.
t
All wiring connections should be inspected and cleaned or
remade periodically.The frequency of maintenance depends on
the metals involved in the connections, atmospheric conditions
and other factors,but once per year is the minimum.
If a problem occurs,make sure that all connections are properly
made and clean. If a problem exists in one loudspeaker,reverse
the connection wires to the left and right system.If the problem
remains in the same speaker, then the fault is with the loudspeaker. If the problem appears in the opposite speaker, the
cause is in another component or cable. In the event that your
TSS-SAT1200 ever needs service,contact your local Infinity
dealer or distributor, or visit www.infinitysystems.com for a
service center near you.
