1 Remote Control

1Owner’s Manual

1Power Cord

1Registration Card

4Rubber 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 best 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’sAC power cord to your receiver’s switched outlet.

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 the 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:

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

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.

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.“)
