Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and (–) terminals. It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the amplifier.

YSTEM If your receiver has a subwoofer output: The RS-8 incorporates two different types of line-level inputs that allow you to optimize the loudspeakers’ performance in your system. If your receiver/processor’ s subwoofer output is already low-passed filtered, meaning the high frequencies have been removed by the receiver, use the subwoofer input labeled Direct.
NOTE: You should hear balanced audio reproduction across the entire frequency spectrum. If not, check all wiring connections or, for more help, consult the Authorized Infinity Dealer where you purchased the system.
• Make sure the connections to the left and right “Speaker Inputs” have the correct polarities (+ and –). • Make sure that the RS-8 is plugged into an active electrical outlet. • Adjust the subwoofer-level control. • Make sure the input-select switch is in the correct position (pages 7, 8).
