CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKER (Figure 1)

Place the center channel speaker as close to your TV as possible (Figure1). The most popular placement for the center channel speaker is right on top of your TV set. The small size and slender design of the RM7000 Series center channel speakers makes them easy to mount on the wall directly above your TV. They look especially nifty if you have a slim line or flat screen TV. RM7000 Satellites are magnetically shielded for safe placement on or near your TV. If you notice video distortion or discoloration, immediately move the speaker away from the TV and call Polk Audio Customer Service 800-377-7655 (US & Can), 410-764-5266, 9am-6pm EST, Monday through Friday, or email: polkcs@polkaudio.com.

FRONT SATELLITES (Figure 2)

The front satellite and center channel speakers of the RM7000 systems are specifically designed to complement flat screen and inset display televisions by mounting unobtrusively on the wall flanking the TV. RM7000 Satellites are magnetically shielded for safe placement on or near your TV. If you notice video distortion or discoloration, immediately move the speaker away from the TV and call Polk Audio Customer Service 800-377-7655 (US & Can), 410-764-5266, 9am-6pm EST, Monday through Friday, or email: polkcs@polkaudio.com. The integrated brackets on the RM7000 Series satellites make them easy to mount. They also sound great on stands (available at your Polk Audio dealer, or online at http://polkaudio.tranguard.com/), bookshelves, or in entertainment centers. Place the small front satellites about as far apart as the distance you are sitting from them (Figure 2). Avoid placing them less than 2 feet (60cm) from the side walls of the room. When mounting the speakers on stands or on a shelf, place them at or near ear level.

SURROUND SPEAKERS (Figures 3a & 3b)

The best placement for surround channel speakers is on the side walls, facing each other, a foot or two (30-60cm) behind your listening position (Figure 3a). If this placement is not possible, the speakers may be placed on a rear wall (Figure 3b). In either case, mount the speakers two to four feet (60-120cm) above your head (when seated).

SUBWOOFER (Figures 4 & 5)

The RM7200 Systems uses a specially built compact Polk Audio Powered Subwoofer to round out its surround sound capa- bilities. This subwoofer module may be placed behind furniture or next to a sofa or chair. It can be placed anywhere in the room, but you will get the best performance from it when it is on the same side of the room as the front satellites. Placing it near a wall or in a corner will increase bass loudness. Allow at least 6 inches (15cm) of space between any subwoofer driver and a wall or obstruction (Figure 4). It may lie on its side, but NEVER LAY THE SUBWOOFER ON THE AMPLIFIER END—THIS WILL DAMAGE THE AMPLIFIER (Figure 5). The RM7200 subwoofer is magnetically shielded for safe placement near your television set. If you notice video distortion or discoloration, immediately move the subwoofer away from the TV and call Polk Audio Customer Service 800-377-7655 (US & Can), 410-764-5266, 9am-6pm EST, Monday through Friday, or email: polkcs@polkaudio.com.
