INTRODUCTION  
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-channel use, place speakers on bookshelves or  
stands alongside the listening position. Final placement depends  
on room acoustics, availability of space, and your listening  
preference (Figures 2 and 3).  
InfinityTotal Solutions  
Infinity Total Solutions continues Infinity’s longstanding  
commitment to accurate sound reproduction. Our high-quality  
drivers, precision dividing networks and rigid, well-braced  
enclosures combine to deliver uncompromised performance in  
any stereo or multichannel home theater system. In addition,  
these speakers, except for the powered subwoofer, are  
magnetically shielded for safe placement adjacent to a  
television.  
In 6- or 7-channel configurations, place the rear channel(s)  
behind the listening position, as shown in Figures 2 and 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.  
Unpacking the Speaker  
If you suspect damage from transit, report it immediately to your  
dealer. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for  
future use.

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.

WALL-MOUNTING THE SATELLITE  
S
PEAKER CONNECTIONS  
The TSS-450 satellite is designed to be mounted on the wall.  
There is a wall bracket for each satellite speaker. Each speaker  
bracket will require (4) 1-1/2," # 10 wood screws; each screw  
should be fastened to a wall stud. If a wall stud is unavailable,  
install an anchor appropriate for a 1-1/2," # 10 screw.  
Turn Off All Power  
First, turn off all audio-system power. Use high-quality speaker  
wire to make your connections. # 18-Gauge speaker wire with  
polarity coding is recommended. 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., +).  
Also, consult the owners manuals that were included with your  
amplifier or receiver to confirm connection procedures.  
Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown  
in Figure 5. 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.  
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.  
Mark the positions on the wall where you would like to place the  
mounting screws.  
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.  
Step 2.  
Place bracket against wall and fasten four 1-1/2," # 10 wood  
screws through the brackets screw holes into the wall. If a wall  
stud is not available, use an appropriate anchor.  
Step 3.  
Screw the post of the bracket into the 1/4"-20 threaded insert  
on the back of the satellite.Adjust the satellite to the desired  
angle and tighten the knob using the enclosed metal bar.

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 loud-  
speaker. If the problem appears in the opposite speaker, the  
cause is in another component or cable. In the event that  
your SAT-450 ever needs service, contact your local Infinity  
dealer or Infinity directly at 516.674.4INF (4463) (USA only) or  
www.infinitysystems.com for a service center near you.
