La ubicación más común es encima de la pantalla del televisor.

Si nota que hay distorsión o descoloración de la imagen, aleje inmediatamente los altavoces de la fuente de video y comuníquese con el servicio al cliente de Polk Audio.

Disposition la plus courante, au-dessus de l’écran. Les enceintes de la série CSM sont blindées magnétiquement et peuvent être disposées à proximité d’une télé ou d’un moniteur vidéo.

Si vous percevez de la distorsion ou de la décoloration vidéo, éloignez immédiatement les enceintes de l’écran et communiquez avec le service à la clientèle de Polk.

Häufigste Platzierung – über dem Fernsehbildschirm. CSM-Mittenlautsprecher sind für eine Platzierung in der Nähe von Fernsehgeräten oder Videomonitoren magnetisch abgeschirmt. Wenn Sie eine Verzerrung oder Verfärbung des Videobildes bemerken, sind die Lautsprecher umgehend von der Videoquelle zu entfernen. Setzen Sie sich in diesem Fall mit dem Kundendienst von Polk Audio in Verbindung.
