ALPHA Center channel
For surround sound systems, the Infinity ALPHA Series includes a dedicated center
channel loudspeaker. ALPHA Center is magnetically shielded for safe use near the
picture tube and should be placed directly above or below the television set. The front
edge of ALPHA Center should be on a line with the front edge of the television. ALPHA
Center must be connected in phase to the amplifier/receiver, i.e. plus-to-plus and
minus-to-minus, exactly like the left and right front loudspeakers.
CARE OF YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM
Your Infinity speaker cabinets are covered with a high quality vinyl which requires very
little maintenance. Dust the enclosures with a damp cloth, or a name brand furniture
polish. The grilles may be cleaned by using a vacuum cleaner on the low power
setting.
IN CASE OF TROUBLE IN YOUR STEREO SYSTEM
Before consulting your dealer, Infinity service facility or the Infinity distributor in your
country, there are tests you can perform to locate and solve possible problems in your
speakers. You can use your stereo system’s two channels of information for simple
trouble-shooting. If the sound quality is distorted, listen to each speaker separately to
check if the fault is present in both.
If it is, then the trouble is likely to be elsewhere in your system. If the fault is in one
channel only, reverse the outputs of your amplifier to the speakers. If the distortion
moves to the other channel, the fault is not in your speaker.
TROUBLESHOOTING THE SPEAKER
If a driver (tweeter, midrange or woofer) in your system is not working, remove the
driver from its enclosure and check to see if the wires are connected firmly on the
driver's terminals. If the wire has come loose, reconnect it and crimp it so it does not
loosen again. If all the connections are correct but the speaker does not work properly,
disconnect the driver completely and substitute it with the same driver from the other
speaker. If this resolves your difficulty, install the suspected defective driver into the
enclosure from which you removed the properly operating driver. If the system does
not play, then you know for certain that the driver is defective and has to be replaced.
SERVICE
Should your loudspeaker system ever need service, return it to the Infinity dealer from
whom it was purchased. If for some reason this is impractical, contact your local
Infinity Distributor.
