WALL-MOUNTING THE SATELLITES The PHI satellites are designed to be mounted on the wall. There is a wall bracket for each satellite speaker. 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. Mark the positions on the wall where you would like to place the mounting screws. Place bracket against wall and fasten two appropriate screws through the bracket's screw holes into the wall. The wall brackets have a hole in the back for cables that are installed into the wall. Make sure that enough cable is free to reach the plus and minus terminals on the back of the speaker and then dress it through the hole in the bracket before securing the bracket onto the wall. Refer to the Center and Satellite Speaker Connections. After having secured the bracket on the wall with the wire hanging through the hole, attach the two leads to the terminal screws on the speaker, and secure the speaker to the wall bracket with the single central screw. 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 1. 2 and 2 meters. Subwoofer Since the installation of a subwoofer can be somewhat more complicated than installing full-range speakers, it is essential that you read this section very carefully prior to connecting the subwoofer to your system. Should you have questions relating to installation, it is advisable to call either your dealer or Infinity's Customer Service Department for advice. The performance of the subwoofer is directly related to its placement in the listening room and how you align the subwoofer with the satellite speakers. Setting the volume of the subwoofer in relation to the left and right speakers is also of critical importance because it is essential that the subwoofer integrate smoothly with the entire system. Setting the subwoofer's volume level too high will result in an overpowering, boomy bass. Use the speaker wire provided, or use high-quality speaker wire with polarity coding to make your connections. 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 reciver to confirm connection procedures. All wires are connected with either bare copper wires or spades fixed to the screw-head binding posts. Banana plugs cannot be used. Satellites 3. Secure the stand base to the column and tighten the two supplied fixing screws. Observe polarities when making speaker connections. Connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker. [. . . ] This causes a short delay in bass reproduction, so the initial part of a bass signal may not be reproduced. If possible, use the trigger cable and set the Power Mode Switch to ON. Final Positioning After correctly connecting the PHI system and verifying that both the subwoofer and all satellite speakers are playing, it is time to optimize the system for your particular listening room. Earlier, you placed the subwoofer in its general location. Finding the exact location for optimum performance sometimes only involves moving the speakers up to a few inches in any direction. [. . . ]
