PLACEMENT
NOTE: In all applications, the tweeter and dual midrange drivers
should be aimed toward the listening area.
Stereo
Before deciding where to place your speakers, survey your room
and think about placement, keeping the fol lowing points in mind,
and using Figure 1, on previous page, as a guide:
• For best results, place the speakers 6'-8' apart.
• Refer to "Home Theater" below if you also plan to use the
speakers in a home theater system.
Home Theater
For front-channel use, place one speaker on the left and another
on the right along either side of the television.
A center channel speaker should go directly above the television.
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. In 6- or 7-channel configurations, place the rear
channel(s) behind the listening position, as shown in Figure 3.
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.
Proper placement of the speakers is an important step in obtain-
ing the most realistic soundstage possible. These recommenda-
tions are for the optimal placement of the loudspeakers. Use
these placement recommendations as a guide. Slight variations
will not diminish your listening pleasure.
INSTAllATION
NOTE: The ERS 610 in-ceiling speaker was designed to be easily
installed. However, if you are unable to clearly and fully under-
stand and follow the instructions in this manual, or if you are

Before completing the installation, you must connect your speak-
ers to 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. Heavier-gauge
wire is recommended for larger distances. Consult the chart
above or your dealer for recommendations. The side of the wire
with a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive(+)
polarity. Also, consult the owner's manuals that were included with
your amplifier or receiver to confirm connection procedures.
Observe polarities when m aking 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 imag ing and diminished
bass response. Be certain that positive and negative wire strands
are completely isolated to avoid short circuits that may damage
your equipment.
