INTRODUCTION
PLACEMENT
InfinityTotal Solutions™
NOTE: The TSS-SAT500 can be placed directly on a shelf,
or mounted on a wall using the included wall bracket.
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 multichannel home
theater system. In addition, the TSS-SAT500 is magnetically
shielded for safe place-ment adjacent to a television.
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.
INCLUDED
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.

rear of speaker. Back out 1/2 of a turn and tighten nut against the
speaker.
WALL-MOUNTING
The TSS-SAT500 satellite is designed to be mounted on the wall.
There is a wall bracket included.The speaker bracket will require
four 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.
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. Detach shelf stand by removing screw in rear of speaker.
Step 6.Attach speaker wire as shown on page 5.
Step 7. Drop round collar (C) over ball and shaft assembly (B) that
is mounted to the speaker with the finished side of the collar facing
the rear of the speaker.
Step 8. Carefully push the ball straight into the socket mounted on
the wall, angle the speaker as desired and tighten the collar using
the enclosed metal bar.
Step 2. Mark the positions on the wall where you would like to place
the mounting screws.
Step 3. Place bracket against the wall and fasten four 1-1/2" #10
wood screws through the bracket’s screw holes into the wall. If a
wall stud is not available, use an appropriate anchor.

CONNECTIONS
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
After placing the speakers, you are ready to connect your system.
First, turn off all audio-system power. Use high-quality speaker wire
to make your connections. #18-gauge speaker wire with polarity
coding is included. 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 owner’s manuals that were included with your amplifier or
receiver to confirm connection procedures.
The TSS-SAT500 enclosure may be cleaned using a soft cloth to
remove fingerprints or to wipe off dust.
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 loud-speaker. If the
problem appears in the opposite speaker, the cause is in another
component or cable. In the event that your TSS-SAT500 ever needs
service, contact your local Infinity dealer or distributor, or visit
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.
