INTRODUCTION  
PLACEMENT  
InfinityTotal Solutions™  
NOTE: The TSS-SAT500 can be placed directly on a shelf,  
or mounted on a wall using the included wall bracket.  
Infinity Total Solutions continues Infinity’s longstanding commitment  
to accurate sound reproduction. Our high-quality drivers, precision  
dividing networks and rigid, well-braced enclosures combine to  
deliver uncompromised performance in any multichannel home  
theater system. In addition, the TSS-SAT500 is magnetically  
shielded for safe place-ment adjacent to a television.  
As 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 the TV without worrying about the magnetic field  
distorting the picture.  
INCLUDED  
As 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 5 ft. (1.5m) and 7 ft. (2m).  
In 6- or 7-channel configurations, place the rear channel(s) behind  
the listening position, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

NOTE: An Infinity powered subwoofer will add impact and realism to  
both music and film soundtracks. Contact your Infinity dealer for  
recommendations on subwoofer models for your application.

room and study Figures 1 and 2.  
Mounting on Floor Stands  
An optional TSS-STAND500 floor stand is available, should you  
prefer to place your TSS-SAT500 satellites on the floor; see your  
In addition, there is a 1/4"-20 insert in each satellite that allows  
the satellite to be mounted to many third-party floor stands. Unscrew

Step 5. Screw the ball and shaft assembly (B) to 1/4"-20 insert on  
rear of speaker. Back out 1/2 of a turn and tighten nut against the  
speaker.  
WALL-MOUNTING  
The TSS-SAT500 satellite is designed to be mounted on the wall.  
There is a wall bracket included.The speaker bracket will require  
four 1-1/2" #10 wood screws; each screw should be fastened to a  
wall stud. If a wall stud is unavailable, install an anchor appropriate  
for a 1-1/2"#10 screw.  
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. Detach shelf stand by removing screw in rear of speaker.  
Step 6.Attach speaker wire as shown on page 5.  
Step 7. Drop round collar (C) over ball and shaft assembly (B) that  
is mounted to the speaker with the finished side of the collar facing  
the rear of the speaker.  
Step 8. Carefully push the ball straight into the socket mounted on  
the wall, angle the speaker as desired and tighten the collar using  
the enclosed metal bar.  
Step 2. Mark the positions on the wall where you would like to place  
the mounting screws.  
Step 3. Place bracket against the wall and fasten four 1-1/2" #10  
wood screws through the bracket’s screw holes into the wall. If a  
wall stud is not available, use an appropriate anchor.

CONNECTIONS  
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE  
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.  
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  
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.
