PRIMUS THEATER PACK II

INTRODUCTION PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM

Infinity Primus®Series

The Primus Series of loudspeakers continues Infinity’s

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.

Unpacking the System

Carefully unpack the system. If you suspect damage from transit,

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:

(1) Center

(4) Satellite Speakers

Before deciding where to best place your speakers, survey your room

and study Figures 1 and 2.

Figure 1. In this overhead view of a typical installation, satellite speakers

are used to reproduce sound for the front and surround channels.The

center channel reproduces sound and dialogue.The powered subwoofer

provides bass for effects and music.

Figure 2.This figure shows an alternative layout, which may be more

PLACEMENT

WALL-MOUNTING THE SATELLITES AND

CENTER CHANNEL

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 Figures 1

and 2. Since the speakers are magnetically shielded, you can

place them very close to the TV 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 Primus Theater

Pack II 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 Theater Pack II satellites and center channel are

designed to mount directly to a wall. Each satellite speaker has two

keyholes on the back. Each speaker will require two (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 then

become secure.

Each 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 brackets.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.

CENTER AND SATELLITE SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

Turn Off All 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).

OPERATION

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 Primus Theater 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 distributor, or visit www.infinitysystems.com for a service

center near you.
