INTRODUCTION  
PLACEMENT  
®
/
Since the installation of a subwoofer can be somewhat more complicated  
than installing full-range speakers, it is essential that you read this  
section very carefully prior to connecting the subwoofer to your system.  
Should you have questions relating to your installation, it is advisable  
Infinity PS210W PS212W Powered Subwoofers  
The PS210W and PS212W powered subwoofers continue the long-  
standing Infinity commitment to accurate sound reproduction. Proprietary  
technology and engineering resources work together to deliver uncom-  
promising low-frequency performance in any stereo or multichannel  
home theater system. Now, that same exceptional Infinity low-frequency  
performance is available wirelessly.  
The performance of the subwoofer is directly related to its placement  
in the listening room and how you align the subwoofer with its satellite  
speakers. Setting the volume of the subwoofer in relation to the left  
and right speakers is also of critical importance because it is essential  
that the subwoofer integrate smoothly with the entire system. Setting  
the subwoofer’s volume level too high will result in an overpowering,  
boomy bass. Setting the volume level too low will negate the benefits  
of the subwoofer.  
UNPACKING THE SUBWOOFER  
Carefully unpack the system. If you suspect damage from transit, report  
it immediately to your dealer and/or delivery service. Keep the shipping  
carton and packing materials for future use. Open the package and  
verify the following contents:  
Here are several additional facts on installation that may prove useful.  
It is generally believed by most audio authorities that low frequencies  
(below 125Hz) are nondirectional and, therefore, placement of a sub-  
woofer within any listening room is not critical.While in theory it is true  
that the larger wavelengths of extremely low frequencies are basically  
nondirectional, the fact is that, when installing a subwoofer within the  
limited confines of a room, reflections, standing waves and absorptions  
generated within the room will strongly influence the performance of  
any subwoofer system.As a result, the specific location of the subwoofer  
becomes important, and it is strongly recommended that you experiment  
with placement before choosing a final location. Since your new wireless  
subwoofer does not need to be physically connected to your receiver or  
processor, this process is now even easier.

Placement will depend upon your room and the amount and quality of  
bass required (for example, whether or not your room permits placement  
of the subwoofer near either satellite). Be sure to leave a minimum of  
six inches between the wall and the port on the subwoofer.

Power On  
Connect your signal source (such as an A/V receiver or preamplifier) to  
the transmitter (if using a wireless connection) or to the subwoofer (if using  
a wired connection).Two single-RCA cords are provided.While you would  
ordinarily use the short cable to connect to the transmitter, or the long  
one to connect to the subwoofer, either cable can be used, depending on  
proximity to the signal source.There is no need or benefit gained from  
connecting the same source to both the transmitter and the subwoofer.  
However, you could connect two separate sources to the subwoofer by  
utilizing both its wired and wireless connections. Both signals will essentially  
be mixed and output by the subwoofer.

and the Subwoofer ID-Code Selector are set to the same channel.  
Once you have a green or orange LED on the subwoofer, turn your  
Subwoofer-Level Control up halfway so that the knob indicator  
points up.You should now be hearing bass information coming from  
the subwoofer.

a pleasing blend of bass. Bass response should not overpower the  
room but rather be adjusted so there is a harmonious blend across  
the entire musical range. Many users have a tendency to set the sub-  
woofer volume too loud, adhering to the belief that a subwoofer is  
there to produce lots of bass.This is not entirely true.A subwoofer is  
there to enhance bass, extending the response of the entire system  
so the bass can be felt, as well as heard. However, overall balance  
must be maintained or the music will not sound natural.An experienced  
listener will set the volume of the subwoofer so that its impact on bass  
response is always there but is never obtrusive.  
Initially set the Subwoofer-Level Control to theMinposition.

Turn on your sub by pressing the Power Switch on the rear panel.  
Turn on your entire audio system and start a CD or movie soundtrack  
at a moderate level.  
Auto On/Standby  
Transmitter (Wireless Connection Only): The Status LED (not shown)  
will be lit in red when the unit is in Standby mode.When the transmitter  
receives an audio signal from the source, it will immediately turn on  
and the LED will turn to blinking green or solid green:  
Phase Control  
ª
The Phase Switch determines whether the subwoofer speaker’s  
piston-like action moves in and out with the main speakers, 0˚, or  
opposite the main speakers, 180˚. Proper phase adjustment depends  
on several variables such as room size, subwoofer placement and  
listening position.Adjust the phase switch to maximize bass output  
at the listening position.  
RED = STANDBY (No signal detected, transmitter off)  
GREEN (BLINKING) = Transmitter is ON but has not established  
a link with the wireless sub  
GREEN (SOLID) = Transmitter is ON and has already established  
a link with the wireless sub  
The transmitter will automatically enter Standby mode after approxi-  
mately 10 minutes when no signal is detected from your system.

at which the subwoofer reproduces sounds. If your main speakers can  
comfortably reproduce some low-frequency sounds, set this control  
to a lower frequency setting, between 50Hz and 100Hz.This will con-  
centrate the subwoofer’s efforts on the ultradeep bass sounds required  
by today’s films and music. If you are using smaller bookshelf speakers  
that do not extend to the lower bass frequencies, set the Crossover  
Adjustment control to a higher setting, between 120Hz and 150Hz.

The subwoofer will automatically enter Standby mode after approximately  
10 minutes when no signal is detected from your system.The subwoofer  
will then power on instantly when a signal is detected. During periods

£
of the subwoofer or transmitter or L and R inputs on the  
subwoofer. Play a CD or video. Use a selection that has ample bass  
information. If using a wireless connection, the Status LED on the  
transmitter should be lit solid green, and the Status LED on the  
a different position. Make sure that the Transmitter ID-Code Selector  
¢
subwoofer should turn orange if connected wirelessly. If the LED on  
the transmitter is blinking green and the LED on the subwoofer is  
in red or green, a wireless link has not been established between the  
transmitter and the subwoofer. If connecting directly to the subwoofer  
and the Subwoofer ID-Code Selector are set to the same position;  
the system won’t function properly unless the positions match.  
A maximum of two subwoofers, at least 10' apart, can be operated  
using the same transmitter. Simply set the channel selector on the  
transmitter and on the two subwoofers to the same channel.  
without using the wireless link, the Status LED on the subwoofer  
should be lit green. If the LED on the subwoofer remains red, check
