FIRST THINGS FIRST

Caution: Subwoofers are heavy. Exercise caution when unpacking your subwoofer.

Take Inventory

1 Subwoofer

1 Microphone (DSWmicroPRO2000,3000,4000 models)

1 Remote Control

1 Owner’s Manual

1 Power Cord

1 Registration Card

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. The cloth bag protecting your subwoofer during shipment should be kept for cleaning the cabinet surface.

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’s AC power cord to your receiver’s switched outlet.

PLACING YOUR SUBWOOFER IN A ROOM

Your DSWmicroPRO Series subwoofer must be located a safe distance from tube-type video monitors to prevent video distortion from magnetic interference. (LCD, DLP and Plasma televisions are not affected by magnetism.) Allow at least 24" (61cm) between your subwoofer and any tube television. If you do notice video distortion or discoloration, immediately move the subwoofer further away from the TV.

24" - 36" (61cm - 91cm)

OK

When placing your subwoofer in the room, always place your subwoofer on its base, feet side down. If you can avoid it, do not place your subwoofer next to an open door.

Polk Room Optimizer (PRO™)

The Polk Room Optimizer (PRO™) feature (see page 7) lets you place your subwoofer anywhere in the room without compromising performance.

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.“ on page 7 of this manual.

AUTOPRO™

AUTOPRO™ mitigates room resonance effects that would otherwise impart a “boomy” quality to in-room performance. Simply connect the provided microphone (DSWmicroPRO 2000/3000/4000 models) into the “MIC IN” jack on the rear plate, place the microphone near ear level within your preferred listening area and press the “room” button on the remote control. See “AUTOPRO” on page 7 of this manual for more information.

Adjustable Feet

DSWmicroPRO Series subwoofers have adjustable leveling feet. Each foot’s shaft is threaded, enabling you to compensate for an uneven floor.
