INTRODUCTION

The Infinity Compositions Overture OVTR 1 speaker system is a super-compact, 3-way, full-

range bookshelf or stand-mounted speaker with an integral powered subwoofer. The OVTR 1

is ideal for use where space is at a premium. With its wide bandwidth and uniform response,

it excels in the accurate reproduction of music, but its high efficiency and ability to produce

realistic sound levels with minimal amplifier power make it equally suited for use in the finest

home theater system.

To start enjoying your new pair of Compositions Overture OVTR 1 speakers, first read and then

perform all instructions listed in this manual, as well as those found in the owner’s manuals of

associated components in your audio system. Also, please read the enclosed Important Safety

Instructions for detailed safety precautions. Save all instructions for future reference. These

speakers are covered by a limited five-year warranty (see the back cover), so save the bill of sale

to protect your purchase and aid in any service-related questions.

UNPACKING THE SPEAKERS

speakers can be positioned vertically or

horizontally for placement on a shelf

or stand. Make sure the side-firing woofer is

at least 2" away from an adjacent object,

shelf, or wall.

Figure 2. Experiment with speaker

placement to obtain the best bass level

and stereo imaging in your room.

PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM

Before deciding where to place your Compositions Overture OVTR 1 speakers, survey your

room and keep the following points in mind:

◆The OVTR 1 includes a side-firing woofer that requires a minimum 2" (25mm) clearance

from an object, shelf, or wall, whether placed vertically or horizontally, on a bookshelf or

stand (see Figure 1).

NOTE: The stand must be large enough to fully support the speaker.

◆For vertical placement, make sure the woofers are facing toward or away from each other.

For stability, install the enclosed feet (see Installing Feet and Grilles on page 5).

◆For best results, try placing the speakers closer together than the distance to the listening area.

◆Refer to Figure 2 when placing speakers for best bass level and stereo image (also see

Operating The System on page 7).

PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM (CONT ’D)

Compositions Overture OVTR 1 speakers are also suitable for use in reproducing home theater

sound, as shown in Figure 3:

◆For front left and right channels, place one OVTR 1 speaker on the left and another on the

right, on bookshelves or stands, along either side of the television monitor.

◆For surround left and right channels, place one OVTR 1 speaker on the left and another on

the right, on bookshelves or stands, behind the listening area.

◆For center channel use, place one OVTR 1 speaker in the horizontal position on top of or

below the television monitor.

◆Since the speakers are magnetically shielded, you can set them in very close without

worrying about the field distorting the TV picture.

NOTE: Contact your local Infinity dealer about adding a subwoofer to your system for deep bass

impact on sound effects and music.

INSTALLING FEET AND GRILLES

Compositions Overture OVTR 1 speakers include two types of feet for vertical or horizontal

placement on a shelf, table, or speaker stand.

To insure proper woofer firing, temporarily position the speakers so that the woofer grilles face

each other. On each molded foot, peel the backing from the self-adhesive tape and press each

foot into its respective slot, as shown in Figure 4. Insert a grille into each speaker, so the logo

is nearest the foot. Flip each speaker over and place them in your system.

Place two small self-adhesive feet on each speaker bottom, as shown in Figure 5. Depending on

where you plan to put the speaker (e.g., TV top), place two large self-adhesive feet 4 to 6 inches

away (refer to Figure 5). Insert a grille into each speaker, so the logo is nearest the foot. Flip

each speaker over and place them in your system.

WIRING THE SYSTEM

After 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. For speaker connections, use

#18 gauge speaker wire (or #16 for runs over 25 feet) with polarity coding. The side of the wire

with a ridge or other coding is usually considered negative polarity (i.e., – ). Also, consult the

owner’s manuals that were included with your amplifier, receiver, or television to confirm

connection procedures.

If your system includes a Dolby ®Surround Pro Logic®or AC-3 ®preamplifier or A/V

receiver, set the center-channel mode to NORMAL. This will route the low frequencies

(below 100Hz) away from the center-channel speaker to the front left and right speakers.

Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in Figures 6 and 7 below.

Connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier, receiver, or television to the respective

+ (red) terminal on each OVTR 1 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.

Figure 8. Located on each OVTR 1’s

and a dual-color “Power On” LED.

OPERATING THE SYSTEM

For your convenience, the system is fitted with a power on/off switch. Once the system is

turned on, it will automatically go into a standby mode. Once an audio signal is present, the

system will automatically turn on. It will revert to standby (drawing only 7 watts) when audio is

absent for a minimum of 90 minutes. A dual-color “Power On” LED (see Figure 8 below) glows

red when the amplifier is in the standby mode and green when the amplifier is on.

If you plan to leave for an extended period of time (e.g., vacation), switch the system off

(or unplug the AC power cord).

This product is designed for (USA) 120 Vac use only. Do not connect it to any other

line voltages.

This product is fitted with a 3-prong grounded power cord. Do not use without ensuring the

outlet is grounded.

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, indicating the amplifier is

on (see Figure 8 below). If not, verify the AC outlet is delivering power or refer to

Troubleshooting on page 9.

2. Check the speakers for playback by first setting the audio system volume control for a

minimum level, and then applying power to your system. Play a favorite music or video

segment and increase the 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 9 for more help.

OPERATING THE SYSTEM (CONT ’D)

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 by adjusting the BASS control from the “normal ” center-detent

position towards the MIN setting (see Figure 8 on previous page). Conversely, if you want

more bass output, rotate the level control towards the MAX setting.

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 (also see Figure 1 on page 3).

4. For safety reasons, the side grille is bonded in place. Please do not attempt to remove.

Potential shock hazard.

REPLACING THE FUSE

Compositions Overture OVTR 1 speakers each use a built-in fuse to protect the subwoofer

amplifier. To replace a fuse with a new one (see enclosed spare), perform the following procedure:

1. Switch off the speaker and unplug the power cord. Then turn the speaker around to access

the fuse holder on the rear panel (refer to Figure 9 below).

2. Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, place the tip in the indent and turn the fuse cap

counterclockwise.

3. Remove the old fuse and replace it with a new one having the same value and rating,

a 2AG 3A SB 250V fuse.

Do not substitute the blown fuse with another fuse value or rating. Doing so will void

the warranty.

4. Insert the cap holding the new fuse into the holder and turn clockwise to lock it.

5. Rotate the speaker to its original position. Then plug the speaker’s AC power cord back into

the nearest AC outlet.

CARE OFYOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM

The dark grey metallic finish does not require any routine maintenance. When needed,

use a soft cloth, dampened with water only, to remove any fingerprints or to wipe off

dust. Clean the grille by gentle vacuuming or with a damp cloth.

NOTE: Do not use any cleaning products or polishes on the cabinet or grille.

For maximum acoustic transparency, the grille uses a lightweight structure that needs to

be handled with care for removal. To remove the grille, gently pull on the corners to

unfasten the frame from the cabinet. To replace it, make sure to align the frame pins first

and then gently snap the frame into place. Never force the grille frame onto the cabinet.
