Getting Started, Safe Limits of Operation

Getting Started

Please inspect your loudspeaker(s) carefully. Notify your Polk Audio dealer if you notice any damage or missing items. Keep the carton and packing material; this will do the best job of protecting your speaker(s) if they must be transported.

Safe Limits of Operation

Your Polk Audio Loudspeakers are constructed of the highest quality materials for years of trouble-free performance. However, damage to loudspeakers can occur when an ampli- fier, regardless of its wattage, is made to play at higher lis- tening levels than its power can clearly produce. This is usu- ally beyond the ”noon or 1 o’clock“ position on the volume control. Operation at this level can result in very high levels of audible distortion originating in the amplifier, which can add a harsh, gritty sound to your listening material. If you hear distortion—turn it down! Contrary to popular belief,

a speaker is more likely to be damaged by trying to get too much volume from a low-powered amplifier or receiver than from a high-powered one.

Technical Assistance or Service

If, after following the hookup directions, you experience diffi- culty, please double-check all wire connections. Should you isolate the problem to the speaker, contact the authorized Polk Audio dealer where you made your purchase, or contact Polk Audio Customer Service 800-377-7655 (M-F, 9-6 EST, US and Canada only) or via email polkcs@polkaudio.com.

Guide de démarrage

Veuillez inspecter votre nouvel amplificateur avec soin. Si vous découvrez des anomalies, des avaries ou s’il manque des pièces, contactez votre revendeur agréé Polk Audio.

Conservez la boîte et l’emballage - ils assureront la protec- tion de vos composants en transit éventuel.

Limites Sécuritaires D’Opération

Les enceintes de la Série RM de Polk Audio ont été fabri- quées avec des matériaux de la plus haute qualité pour vous assurer performance et fiabilité pour de nombreuses années. Cependant, les haut-parleurs peuvent être endommagés lorsqu’un amplificateur, quelle que soit sa puissance, est poussé au delà de ses limites, typiquement à la position

12h ou 13h du contrôle de volume. L’amplificateur surchargé génèrera alors un niveau élevé de distorsion et le son devi- endra rauque et strident. Si vous entendez de la distorsion, BAISSEZ LE VOLUME. Contrairement à ce qu’on puisse penser, un haut-parleur peut-être endommagé plus facile- ment par un amplificateur de faible puissance poussé au delà de ses limites que par un amplificateur de haute puissance à haut volume.

Service Ou Assistance Technique
