PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR THE CSM SERIES CENTER CHANNEL LOUDSPEAKER
The CSM Series Center Channel Loudspeaker incorporates the most effective magnetic shielding available so it can be placed safely on or near your TV or video monitor. If you notice video distortion or discoloration, immediately move the speaker away from the TV and call Polk Audio Customer Service
PROCESSOR MODE CONFIGURATION
FOR THE CSM SERIES CENTER CHANNEL LOUDSPEAKER
The “bass management” or “speaker configuration” menus of most surround receivers offer the choice of “normal” or “wide” modes for center channel operation. In discrete channel digital processors, these modes are referred to as “small” and “large.” Normal (small) mode filters bass frequencies from the center channel speaker and sends them instead to the front left & right main speakers or to the subwoofer output (LFE) jack. Wide (large) mode sends an unfiltered, full range signal to the center channel speaker. Use the Small (normal) mode for optimum center (and surround) channel performance and reliability.
CONNECTING YOUR CSM SERIES LOUDSPEAKER [FIGURE 2]
We recommend
To connect wire to the binding post [figure 3], unscrew the hex nut and insert the bare wire into the hole near the base of the binding post. Do not insert the insulated part of the wire into the hole, as this will not give you a good connection. Twist the hex nut back down the binding post until it firmly meets the wire. Do not over tighten.
To use Banana Plugs (US only): Unscrew the binding post lug nuts completely to expose the binding post plugs (plastic plugs inserted into the binding posts). Carefully pry out the binding post plugs to expose banana plug holes. Screw the lug nuts back on the binding posts and insert banana plugs. (This is for US owners only.)
