SERVICE NOTE
Access to woofer:
1) Carefully pry metal grille out of its
recess with a sharp pointed
instrument such as an awl – USE
CAUTION. Work evenly around
the perimeter until the grill w/
gasket can be removed.
2) Remove the (4) Phillips screws
holding the trim ring to the cabinet.
3) Remove the (4) Phillips screws

Service Tips
May 2004
To: Infinity Service Centers
To disassemble the satellites, a small hook or dental pick is necessary (see Picture 1)
The hook can be used to take the front grille off, and then to remove the front baffle.
To remove the front baffle, place the hook in the small hole in the corner next to the woofer as on Picture 2 and pull out so
the small hook pulls the tabs on front baffle loose from the cabinet. See Picture 4 to locate the tabs. It is easiest to start with
the corners next to the woofer, as there may be glue around the tweeter that makes it more difficult to start on that end.

Sweep Function
1. Follow steps 1-5 above, using a sweep generator as a signal source.
2. Sweep generator from 20Hz to 1kHz. Listen to the cabinet and drivers for any rattles, clicks, buzzes or
any other noises. If any unusual noises are heard, remove woofer and test.

TECH TIPS
Troubleshooting tips and solutions to common service problems
In the event you need to replace MOSFET transistors Q18 or Q22 as part of a repair:
It is important to use ONLY the Infinity part# FE106401110, 051-640001-000, or only the brands:
International Rectifier, or Fairchild.
Replace both Q18 and Q22 MOSFET’s in the circuit, even if only one seems to be damaged.
Do NOT mix & match these components from different manufacturers, or batches. They should be
identical.
