PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM  
To help plan your home theater system, study the layout in Figure 1,  
which represents a typical living room where the home theater system  
is the main focus.  
For best results, the CC-2 center-channel speaker should be placed  
horizontally in its stand on top of the television or on a shelf directly  
above the set (see Placement on the next page). Or, if space is at a  
premium, an alternate location is below the television on a shelf. Make  
sure the CC-2 faces the viewing audience.  
Figure 1. The CC-2 center-channel  
speaker can be placed on top of a  
television or on shelf directly  
above or below the set.

PLACEMENT  
The CC-2 center-channel speaker is designed for easy placement on top  
of a television via the enclosed stand, as shown in Figure 2. If the top of  
the television is not deep enough, place the CC-2 on a shelf directly  
above it. Or place the speaker on a shelf below the set and tilt the CC-2  
up in its stand towards listeners (refer to Figure 3).  
Figure 2. This example shows the  
CC-2 center-channel speaker being  
placed on top of a television in its  
enclosed stand. The speaker can also  
be placed on a shelf directly above  
the set or below it and tilted up  
(see Figure 3).

TILTING THE SPEAKER... If needed, the enclosed stand allows you to tilt the speaker across a  
25-degree range (i.e., 18° up and 7° down), as shown in Figure 3.  
DO NOT EXCEED THE TILT RANGE. Doing so may cause the speaker  
to fall out of its stand.  
IMPORTANT!

WIRING THE SYSTEM  
TURN OFF ALL POWER... After placing the speaker, you are ready to connect it to your system.  
First turn off all audio system power. Use high-quality speaker wire to  
make the connections. Consult the owner’s manuals (included with your  
amplifier, receiver, or television) for connection and operation procedures.  
IMPORTANT!  
When using the CC-2 for center-channel reproduction, set the center-  
channel mode (on a Dolby Pro Logic preamplifier or A/V receiver) to  
NORMAL. This will route the low frequencies (below 100 Hz) away  
from the center-channel speaker to the front left and right speakers.  
Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in  
Figures 4 (below) and 5 (on the next page). Connect the appropriate  
+ terminal on the back of the amplifier, receiver, or television to the  
respective + (red) terminal on the CC-2 speaker. Similarly, connect the  
– (black) terminals in the same way.  
IMPORTANT!  
Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to - or - to +) when making connections.

speaker features gold-plated  
terminals that can be connected in

wiring (as shown here).

TESTING THE SPEAKER  
After placing and wiring the speakers, turn on audio system power.  
Follow the instructions (packed with your A/V preamplifier or receiver)  
to calibrate the Dolby® Pro Logic channels. Most components include a  
built-in test tone to help you balance the sound levels to all speakers in  
your system.  
VERIFY TEST TONE...  
During calibration, verify that the CC-2 center-channel speaker  
reproduces the test tone. If not, check the wiring connections and see  
the Troubleshooting chart (on the next page) for help.  
ADJUST VOICE MATCHING...  
Once calibration is complete, audition a variety of home theater  
selections and listen to the sound quality of the dialogue reproduced by  
the CC-2. If you feel the CC-2 is too bright, you can reduce it by  
adjusting the VOICE MATCHING control (see Figure 6) from the  
normal “ ” center position towards the “–” setting. Conversely, if you  
°
want more brightness, rotate the level control towards the “+” setting.

CARE OF YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM  
The CC-2 cabinet does not require any routine care. When needed, use  
a soft cloth, dampened with water only, to remove any fingerprints or to  
wipe off dust. DO NOT USE ANY CLEANING PRODUCTS OR  
POLISHES. Clean the grille by gentle vacuuming.

LIMITED FIVE YEAR WARRANTY  
Who is protected by the warranty?  
Your Infinity warranty protects the original retail purchaser and all subsequent owners for a period of five (5)  
years (parts and labor) for all speaker components from any failure as a result of an original manufacturing  
defect so long as: (1) your Infinity loudspeakers were purchased within the fifty states of the U.S.A. or by  
military personnel from an authorized military outlet and (2) the original dated bill of sale is presented  
whenever service is required during the warranty period. This warranty does not apply to products purchased  
elsewhere; other purchasers should contact their local Infinity distributor for warranty information.  
What does the Infinity warranty cover?  
Except as specified below, this warranty covers all defects in original materials and workmanship. The following  
are not covered: damage caused by accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, product modification; damage occurring  
during shipment, damage caused by failure to follow instructions in the owner’s manual, including failure to  
perform recommended periodic or routine maintenance; damage resulting from repairs by someone not  
authorized by Infinity; claims based upon any misrepresentations by the sellers; and any Infinity product on  
which the serial number has been altered, defaced or removed.  
Who pays for what?  
During the period of this warranty, subject to the above conditions, Infinity will pay all of the labor and  
material expenses to repair a warrantable defect.  
How can warranty service be obtained?  
In the event that your loudspeaker(s) should require service, you should first contact the Infinity dealer from  
whom the product was purchased or, if this is not practical, contact Customer Service in writing at:  
Infinity Systems, Inc., 20630 Nordhoff Street, Chatsworth, CA 91311 USA  
or by calling us at (818) 407-0228 (FAX: 818-709-9486)  
We may direct you to an authorized service center for Infinity product or ask you to send them to us for repair. In  
either case you will have to present your original dated bill of sale to establish warranty coverage. Do not send  
your speaker(s) to us without prior authorization from our Customer Service department.  
You are responsible for transporting your product to either Infinity or an authorized service center and for  
payment of all shipping charges; however, Infinity will pay the return shipping charges (in the event you  
return the product to us) if the repairs are covered by the warranty. If you experience difficulty in transporting

procedures and/or adequate packaging materials.  
LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES: All implied warranties, including fitness for a particular

LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES: Infinity is not responsible for an  
incidental or consequential damage of any kind. Our liability is limited to the repair or replacement, at our  
option, of a defective product.  
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and/or do not allow the exclusion of  
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty  
gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.  
NOTE: In the event that there is a difference between this warranty and the provisions in any advertisements,  
product brochure or packaging cartons, the terms of this warranty will prevail.
