WIRING THE SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any connections.

For speaker connections, use a minimum #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., +).

NOTE: If desired, consult your local Infinity dealer about speaker wire and connection options.

The speakers have coded terminals that accept a variety of wire connec- tors. The most common connection is shown in Figure 5.

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 6. Connect the – (black) terminals in a similar way. See the owner’s guides that were included with your amplifier, 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.

Figure 6. Wiring diagram shows polarity connections for one channel of a stereo or home theater system.

BI-WIRING

C336

The outer connection panel and internal dividing network of the C336 is designed so that separate sets of speaker cables can be attached to the low- frequency transducer and midrange/high-frequency transducer portions of this dividing network.This is called bi-wiring. Bi-wiring can provide several sonic advantages and considerably more flexibility in power amplifier selection.
