User manual INFINITY OUTRIGGER

[. . . ] For the best stereo effect, separate your Outrigger speakers by at least seven to ten feet. Use the built-in pedestal for placement on a table or other surface (see Figure 1). Experiment with different placement to find the most pleasing effect for your system. Placing your speakers near a wall or other surface will increase bass output. [. . . ] After the paint is thoroughly dry, reinsert each grille by placing it in the cabinet and letting it "snap" into place. 2 WIRING THE SYSTEM After placing the Outrigger speakers, you are ready to wire them. Use high-quality speaker wire (#16 gauge or heavier) to make your connections. 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. Open the terminal shell by turning it counterclockwise to expose the opening in the post. Insert a wire from each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each Outrigger speaker. Turn the terminal shell clockwise until it secures the connection. If desired, you can use banana plugs (available at your local electronics store) to make these connections. IMPORTANT!Do not reverse polarities (i. e. , + to ­ or ­ to +) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished bass response.

UNDERSTANDING POWER RATINGS An A/V (audio/video) receiver with limited power output can actually cause damage to your speakers. This generates spurious high-frequency signals which, when routed to the tweeter, can cause it to overheat and fail. It is always a good idea to choose a receiver with more power than you need. (Refer to power ratings in Specifications on the next page. ) 3 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 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. If there is no authorized service facility near you, write or phone the Service Department, Infinity Customer Service, 20630 Nordhoff Street, Chatsworth, CA 91311, (818) 4070228, 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.
