longstanding commitment to accurate sound reproduction.Our
proprietary Metal Matrix Diaphragm™(MMD™) drivers,precision
dividing networks and rigid,well-braced enclosures combine to
deliver uncompromised performance in any stereo or multichannel
home theater system.In addition,Primus Series speakers are
magnetically shielded for safe placement adjacent to a television.

report it immediately to your dealer and/or delivery service.Keep
the shipping carton and packing materials for future use.Open
the package and verify the following contents:

WALL-MOUNTINGTHE SATELLITES
NOTE:The satellite speakers can be placed directly on a shelf,or
mounted on a wall using the built-in keyhole mount or optional
wall brackets.
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 theTV without worrying about the magnetic
field distorting the picture.
Center Channel
For the center channel,place the speaker directly on top of,
or below,your television.Use a shelf if the television does not
provide a stable platform.
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 4 feet and 7 feet.
Optional Subwoofer
Adding an Infinity powered subwoofer to the PrimusTheater Pack
will add the low-frequency information found in many recordings.
Infinity manufactures several powered subwoofers that will
deliver the impact and realism of today’s music and movie
soundtracks.Consult your Infinity dealer for help in determining
which subwoofer is best for you.If you already own a subwoofer,
consult the subwoofer’s manual for proper installation and
connection instructions.
The Primus satellites are designed to mount directly to a wall.
Each satellite speaker has two keyholes on the back.Each speaker
will require (2) 1-1/2,"#10 wood screws fastened to a wall stud.
If a wall stud is unavailable,install anchors appropriate for
1-1/2,"#10 screws.
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 position on the wall where you would like to place the
mounting screws.
Step 2.
Fasten two 1-1/2,"#10 wood screws to the wall using the
markings placed in Step 1 as your guide.Leave an 11/16" space
between the wall and screwhead.If a wall stud is not available,
use appropriate anchors.
Step 3.
Place the speaker on the wall by aligning the keyholes on the back
of the speaker to the screwheads on the wall.Once positioned
properly,the speaker should slide down slightly and become
secure.
Each Primus satellite also allows for the use of third-party wall
brackets using the 1/4"-20 threaded insert located beneath the
keyhole mount.Consult the wall-bracket manufacturer for selection
of proper bracket.ker on the wall by aligning the keyhole on the
back of the speaker to the screwhead on the wall.Once positioned
properly,the speaker should slide down slightly and become
secure.

ONNECTIONS
Turn OffAll Power
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.Use at least #16-gauge
speaker wire with polarity coding.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.
Satellites
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.
Center Channel
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 the
speaker.Connect the – (black) terminals in the same way.
Important!
Do not reverse polarities (i.e.,+ to – or – to +) when making
connections.Be certain that positive and negative wire strands
are completely isolated to avoid short circuits that may damage
your equipment.
Figure 5.The satellites and center channel speaker feature
terminals that can be connected in several different ways:
e.g.,banana plugs,spade terminals and direct wiring
(as shown here).

PERATION
Surround Modes
When using the system in a Dolby* Digital or DTS®home theater
system,make sure all speakers are set to“Small”.
Some Dolby Digital-equipped receivers/processors offer different
setup options for each source or surround mode;e.g.,CD-stereo,
videotape,Dolby Pro Logic.* In each case,follow your equip-
ment’s instructions to ensure that the subwoofer output is turned
on (if you are using a subwoofer) and that the speakers are set
to“Small”in each mode.
When using the PrimusTheater Pack in a Dolby Pro Logic home
theater system,make sure the receiver’s center channel mode is
set to“Normal.”
The satellite and subwoofer enclosures may be cleaned using a
soft cloth to remove fingerprints or to wipe off dust.
The grilles may be gently vacuumed.Stains may be removed with
an aerosol cleaner,following its instructions.Do not use any
solvents on the grille.
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 subwoofer ever needs service,contact your local
Infinity dealer or Infinity directly at 1.800.553.3332 or
www.infinitysystems.com for a service center near you.
