FIRST THINGS FIRST

Caution: Subwoofers are heavy. Exercise caution when unpacking your subwoofer.

Take Inventory

1 Subwoofer

1 Remote Control

1 Owner’s Manual

1 Power Cord

1 Registration Card

4 Rubber Foot Inserts

Please inspect your subwoofer carefully. Notify your Polk Audio dealer if you notice

any damage or missing items. Keep the carton and packing material. It will do the

est job of protecting your subwoofer if it needs to be transported.

Your system includes a detachable power cord that’s packaged separately from

the subwoofer. Insert the female end into the receptacle on the amplifier plate and

insert the AC plug into a wall outlet (or power strip) as per the safety instructions

found on the inside cover of this manual. We do not recommend connecting

the subwoofer’s AC power cord to your receiver’s switched outlet.

PLACING YOUR SUBWOOFER IN A ROOM

While your wireless-ready subwoofer may be placed anywhere in the room, it is

magnetically shielded for placement near video monitors. (LCD, DLP and Plasma

televisions are not affected by magnetism.) Allow at least 18" (46cm) of space

between your subwoofer and any tube television, but if you do notice video

distortion or discoloration, immediately move the subwoofer away from the TV.

Also, the Polk Room Optimizer (PRO

™

) feature lets you place your subwoofer any-

where in the room without compromising performance. When locating your sub-

woofer in the room, we recomment placing it on its base, feet side down.

If you can avoid it, do not place your subwoofer next to an open door.

We do recommend

placing your subwoofer in different locations

within your room to learn what produces the best sound quality

based upon your listening preferences.

The

PRO feature will tailor your subwoofer’s performance to its location in your

room. Select one of the four buttons on your subwoofer’s remote control that

indicates where you’ve placed your subwoofer in the room. (For more on this

feature, see “Polk Room Optimizer.“)

Feet/Carpet Spikes

Wireless-ready subwoofers have removable feet. Each foot’s shaft is also a

carpet spike, which allows you to place your subwoofer on a carpeted floor.

To remove the conical feet from the carpet spike, grasp a foot firmly and turn

he foot clockwise while pulling up. Three complete turns should raise the foot

enough to allow you to place your fingertips under the foot and pull it off the spike.

PLACING YOUR SUBWOOFER IN A CABINET

Your wireless-ready subwoofer can be placed in a cabinet, thereby

reorienting the subwoofer’s driver so that it faces into your listening room.

See the instructions below:

Note: The remote control may not operate when the subwoofer is placed

in a cabinet with the driver facing into the room. If this occurs, adding an IR

repeater will enable the remote control to communicate with the subwoofer.

Instructions For Placing Subwoofer In Cabinet:

1. With the subwoofer’s logo facing you, turn the sub on its side.

2. Unscrew the feet from the bottom of the subwoofer.

3. Reattach the feet in the threaded inserts located

on the amplifier side. Press rubber inserts into bottom of feet.

4. Turn the subwoofer onto its feet. Place the subwoofer in the cabinet

so that the driver faces into the room.

Note: Grilles are available for wireless-ready subwoofers at

your authorized Polk Audio dealer or at www.polkaudio.com.
