WALL-MOUNTING THE CC225
WALL-MOUNTING THE C205
The CC225 is designed to be mounted directly to a wall.The bracket has
four holes on the back, and will require (4) 1-1/2,"#8 wood screws with
a .33" (8.4mm) screwhead fastened to wall studs. If wall studs are unavail-
able, install anchors appropriate for a 1-1/2,"#8 screw.
The C205 is designed to be mounted directly to a wall. Each speaker has
two keyholes on the back, and will require (2) 1-1/2,"#8 wood screws
with a .33" (8.4mm) screwhead fastened to a wall stud. If a wall stud is
unavailable, install an anchor appropriate for a 1-1/2,"#8 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.
Attach the wall bracket to the wall at the desired location.
Keyhole mounts
Step 2.
Securely fasten the two cleats to the rear of the speaker,
using two included 1/4"-20 panhead screws per cleat.
Attach rubber bumper
Figure 4.
Step 1.
Mark the positions on the wall where you would like to place the
mounting screws.
Step 3.
Step 2.
Carefully slide the cleats on the rear of the speakers over the tabs
of the wall bracket.
Fasten two 1-1/2,"#8 wood screws to the wall using the markings placed
in Step 1 as your guide. Leave an 11/16" space between the wall and
screwhead. If a wall stud is not available, use an appropriate anchor.
Step 3.
Place the speaker on the wall by aligning the keyholes on the back of
the speaker to the screwheads on the wall. Once positioned properly,
the speaker should slide down slightly and become secure.
INSTALLING SPIKED FEET
C336
Four metal spikes are supplied for use when using the outboard feet and
the speaker is to be placed on a carpeted surface to decouple the speaker
from the floor and prevent unwanted damping.To insert the spikes, gently
lay the speaker on its back (not its front or side) on a soft, nonabrasive
surface, unscrew the four rubber-tipped feet and store in a safe place.
Each spike then screws into the threaded insert. Make sure all four spikes
are screwed in completely for stability.

NEVER drag the speaker to move it, as this will damage the spikes, the feet, the
wood cabinet itself, and/or the floor. Always lift the speaker and carry it to its
new location.

WIRING THE SYSTEM
BI-WIRING
C336
IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any
connections.
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.
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.

FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
Check the speakers for playback, first by setting the system volume control
to a minimum level, and then by applying power to your audio system. Play
a favorite music or video segment and increase the system volume control
to a comfortable level.
NOTE: You should hear balanced audio reproduction across the entire
frequency spectrum. If not, check all wiring connections or consult
the authorized Infinity dealer from whom you purchased the system
for more help.
The amount of bass you hear and the stereo-image quality will be affected
by a number of different factors, including the room’s size and shape,
the construction materials used to build the room, the listener’s position
relative to the speakers, and the position of the speakers in the room.
Listen to a variety of music selections and note the bass level. If there is
too much bass, move the speakers away from nearby walls. Conversely, if
you place the speakers closer to the walls, there will be more bass output.
Nearby reflecting surfaces can adversely affect stereo-imaging quality. If
this happens, try angling the speakers slightly inward toward the listening
position until the optimal effect is achieved.
CARE OF YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM
Each Infinity Classia cabinet has a finish that does not require any routine
maintenance.When needed, use a soft cloth to remove any fingerprints or
dust. Clean the grille by gentle vacuuming.
NOTE: Do not use any cleaning products or polishes on the cabinet
or grille.
In the event that your Infinity speaker needs service, contact your Infinity
the nearest service center.
