For speaker connections, use a high-quality speaker wire with polarity coding. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive polarity (i. e. , +). NOTE: If desired, consult your local Infinity dealer about speaker wire and connection options. To ensure proper polarity, connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker, as shown in Figure 4. Connect the ­ (black) terminals in a similar way. See the owner's guides that were included with your amplifier or receiver and television to confirm connection procedures. IMPORTANT: Do not reverse polarities (i. e. , + to ­ or ­ to +) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished bass response. Figure 5. This example shows how to connect bare wires to the terminals. [. . . ] If this happens, try angling the speakers slightly inward toward the listening position until the optimum effect is achieved. CARE OF YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM Figure 7. Each Cascade Series enclosure has a finish that does not require any routine maintenance.
