Proper speaker placement is crucial for optimal sound quality. Follow these guidelines for best results:

• Place the speakers on a stable, level surface, such as a bookshelf or speaker stands.
• Position the speakers at least 6-8 inches away from walls and other objects to allow for proper bass response.
• For stereo listening, place the speakers at an equal distance from your listening position and angle them towards your ears. This will create a more accurate and immersive soundstage.
• If using the speakers as part of a surround sound system, refer to your AV receiver's user manual for specific placement recommendations.

4. Connecting the Speakers

Follow these steps to properly connect your Infinity R162 speakers to your amplifier or AV receiver:

1. Turn off your amplifier or receiver before making any connections.
2. On the back of each speaker, you will find two binding post terminals (one red for positive and one black for negative).
3. Strip approximately 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of your speaker wire. If your wire has a clear plastic covering, the silver strand is the positive wire, and the copper strand is the negative wire.
4. Insert the positive wire into the red terminal and the negative wire into the black terminal. Tighten the binding posts to secure the wires in place.
5. Connect the other ends of the speaker wires to the corresponding terminals on your amplifier or receiver, ensuring that the positive and negative wires are connected to the correct terminals.
6. Turn on your amplifier or receiver and test the speakers to ensure proper functionality.

If you encounter any issues with your Infinity R162 speakers, try these troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure that all connections are secure and that the positive and negative wires are connected to the correct terminals on both the speakers and the amplifier or receiver.
