ONNECTIONS
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.
Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in
Figure 4. Connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or
receiver to the resp (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.

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
