IMPORTANT!
Compositions P-FR speakers are heavy (80 pounds each) and, therefore, we
recommend using two people to unpack the boxes. Please follow the remaining
unpacking instructions as shown in Figures 1 through 6 (on pages 1 through 4).
This product contains electronic circuitry with
dangerous voltages that may present a risk of electric
shock. For detailed safety information, please read and
understand all instructions described on page 16.

TOOLs AND SUPPLIES...
INTRODUCTION
Infinity Compositions P-FR speakers are a pair of advanced 4-way full-
range speaker arrays with integrated 12-inch powered subwoofers.
Housed in slender mirror-imaged columns, these highly-efficient
speakers eliminate the need for separate subwoofers and require only
minimal power to produce sound levels greater than those heard in a
movie theater. Although Compositions P-FR are designed specifically for
reproduction of front left and right home-theater channels, you'll find
they also provide the highest musical fulfillment when listening to CDs,
LPs, or tapes.
To start enjoying your Compositions P-FR speakers, first read and then
perform the remaining unpacking instructions below. Maximum
performance is dependent on following all instructions listed in this manual,
as well as those found in the owner’s manuals of associated components in
your home theater system. Save these instructions for future reference.
These speakers are covered by a limited five-year warranty, so save the bill
of sale to protect your purchase and aid in any service-related questions.
This symbol alerts you to important operational and maintenance
instructions in this manual (see page 16).
This symbol signifies the presence of dangerous voltages within the unit
(see page 16).
UNPACKING THE SPEAKERS
Finish unpacking the right speaker box (see Figures 1 through 6 on
next three pages) and then unpack the left speaker box. If you suspect
damage from transit, report it immediately to your dealer and/or
delivery service. Keep the shipping cartons and packing materials for
future use. Open the accessory pack (in the right speaker box) and
verify the following contents:
¢ (4) Foot Covers

SPEAKER PLACEMENT...
REVERSING SPEAKERS...
Figure 7. This overhead view shows a
typical home theater plan. The
Compositions P-FR speakers are on
either side of the television with
subwoofers firing towards the walls.
PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM
To
help
plan
your
home
theater
system,
we’ve
included
two
system
applications,
as
shown
in
Figures
7
and
8.
The
first
one
represents
a
typical
living
room
where
the
home
theater
system
is
the
main
focus.
In
the
second
application
(on
the
next
page),
the
furniture
is
arranged
for
fireplace
viewing
and
the
entertainment
center
is
in
a
corner.
At
this
point,
don’t
worry
about
exact
placement
or
leveling
the
glides.
Place
the
speakers
equally
apart
on
either
side
of
the
television.
For
best
results,
try
not
to
have
the
speakers
further
apart
than
the
distance
to
the
listening
area
(e.g.,
typically
6'
to
10').
Since
the
speakers
are
magnetically
shielded,
you
can
set
them
in
very
close
without
worrying
about
the
field
distorting
the
TV
picture.
Make
sure
the
speaker
marked
left
is
on
the
left
side
(facing
you),
and
the
speaker
marked
right
is
on
the
right
side.
The
speakers
should
not
be
angled,
but
should
directly
fire
towards
the
listening
area.
When
viewed
from
the
front,
the
right
speaker’s
subwoofer
will
fire
to
the
right
and
the
left
speaker’s
subwoofer
will
fire
to
the
left
(see
Figure
7).
In
applications
where
the
side
walls
are
very
close
to
the
speakers
(ie.,
3°
to
6"),
we
recommend
reversing
the
placement,
so
that
the
speakers’
subwoofers
will
fire
inward
toward
the
television.

Figure 9. Compositions P-FR
speakers feature gold-plated
terminals that can be connected in
several different ways; e.g., banana
plugs, spade terminals (not shown),
and direct wiring.
WIRING THE SYSTEM
After
initially
placing
the
speakers,
you
are
ready
to
connect
your
system.
First
turn
off
all
audio
system
power.
Use
high-quality
speaker
wire
to
make
your
connections,
as
shown
in
the
wiring
diagram
(on
the
next
page).
Consult
the
owner’s
manuals
that
were
included
with
your
amplifier,
receiver,
or
television
to
confirm
connection
procedures.
On
your
Dolby
Pro
Logic
preamplifier
or
A/V
receiver,
set
the
center-
channel
mode
to
NORMAL.
This
will
route
the
low
frequencies
(below
100
Hz)
away
from
the
center-channel
speaker
to
the
front
left
and
right
speakers.
Compositions
P-FR
speakers
have
gold-plated
terminals
that
accept
a
variety
of
wire
connectors.
Observe
polarities
when
making
speaker
connections,
as
shown
in
Figures
9
(below)
and
10
(on
the
next
page).
These
full-range
speakers
have
integrated
powered
12"
subwoofers
and
only
require
one
set
of
output
leads
for
the
left
and
right
channels.
Connect
each
+
terminal
on
the
back
of
the
amplifier,
receiver,
or
television
to
the
respective
+
(red)
terminal
on
each
Compositions
P-FR
speaker.
Similarly,
connect
the
(black)
terminals
in
the
same
way.
Do
not
reverse
polarities
(i.e.,
+
to
-
or
-
to
+)
when
making
connections.
Doing
so
will
cause
poor
imaging
and
diminished
bass
response.

OPERATING THE SYSTEM
Each Compositions P-FR speaker contains a built-in power amplifier
that drives the subwoofer and only requires connection of the ac power
cord. Subwoofer amplifier controls are preset at the factory for normal
operation. For a description of the factory-preset controls and optional
adjustments, refer to Subwoofer Amplifier Controls on page 11.
1. After speaker wiring has been completed, connect each speaker’s ac
power cord to the nearest ac receptacle. You should see an LED
illuminate (on the front of each speaker), indicating the amplifier is
on. If not, make sure the POWER switch is ON (see Figure 13 on
page 11, or refer to Troubleshooting on page 12).
2. Check the speakers for playback by first setting the system volume
control for a minimum level, and then 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 and
refer to the Troubleshooting section on page 12 for more help.
3. Listen to a variety of music selections and note the bass level. If you
feel there is too much bass, you can reduce it in two increments by
sliding the BASS switch from its preset MAX setting (see page 11).
NOTE: The amount of bass you hear 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. If there is too
much bass, move the speakers away from nearby walls. Conversely, if
you want more bass, place the speakers closer to the walls.
4, Once you've confirmed the speakers are operating correctly, refer to
the manual packed with your Dolby Pro-Logic Surround receiver or
preamplifier to perform a system balance test using pink-noise.
5. Make final placement adjustments and level the glides using the
procedure shown in Figure 11 (on the next page).
NOTE: If you prefer using spikes, see Figure 12 on the next page.

SUBWOOFER AMPLIFIER CONTROLS
Compositions P-FR speakers have built-in subwoofer amplifiers that are
equipped with simple slide switches preset at the factory. If you want to
adjust any of them, refer to Figure 13 for their location and description.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO LIFT THE BACK OF THE SPEAKER! To adjust a
control, slip your hand under the back edge of the speaker and slide the switch.
