Home Theater For front-channel use, place one speaker on the left and another on the right, along either side of the television monitor. [. . . ] For carpets, screw the round end of a foot into each hole and fully handtighten a nut onto each one. For hard-surface floors, screw the spike end into each hole instead and leave the rounded end exposed. If needed, adjust the feet so each speaker is level and then tighten each nut with the enclosed wrench. To protect hard surfaces (e. g. , wood floors), slip a nylon dome onto each round end. Note: Spiked feet must be fully threaded into holes provided in the base to ensure stability. Locking Nut SEE DETAIL A DETAIL A 5/8" min.

Attaching the Grilles The Cascade loudspeakers use a unique frameless grille. Simply curl the magnet assembly behind the grille cloth, place one end of the grille just above the tweeter and then gently pull the grille taut, attaching the other end of the grille just below the woofer. Model Three V, Model Three C, Model Five 1. Attach wall bracket to wall at desired location. Model Three C Model Five Model Three V 2.

Carefully slide the cleats on the rear of the speakers over the tabs of the wall bracket. wall CASCADE SPEAKER SYSTEMS 5 WIRING THE SYSTEM IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any connections. 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. 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. Banana plugs may also be inserted directly into the rear of the connector. Figure 4. This figure shows how to connect bare wires to the terminals. Figure 6. [. . . ] NOTE: Do not use any cleaning products or polishes on the cabinet or grille. Single-Stereo Amplifier 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 loudspeaker. If the problem appears in the opposite speaker, the cause is in another component or cable. [. . . ]
