OPTION #1 Receivers that include a “SUB OUT” feature—

the most common hookup method with Dolby Digital® and DTS® receivers.

•Connect a single RCA cable from the “SUB OUT” of your receiver to the LFE input of the subwoofer. This connection method bypasses the subwoofer’s internal filter and relies on the low-pass filter built into your receiver. Make no other signal connections. Do not use speaker wire to make the connection to the subwoofer.

•Connect all other speakers directly to the receiver. Adjust your receiver’s speaker configurations as follows:

Front Speakers = SMALL

Center and Surrounds = SMALL

Subwoofer = ON, YES, or PRESENT

•Depending on your front speakers’ bass output capabilities, set the crossover frequency on the receiver to 80Hz for tower and bookshelf speakers (speakers with a woofer 5 1/4" in diameter or larger) and 100-120Hz for satellite speakers. Consult your receiver’s owner’s manual for instructions.

OPTION #2 Two channel or Dolby PRO Logic® receiver with no “SUB OUT.” Use two-conductor 16 gauge or thicker speaker wires. See your Polk Audio dealer for wire recommendations.

Note: Do not use the line or LFE input in this configuration.

•Connect the left and right front speaker outputs of your receiver to the speaker level inputs of the subwoofer using speaker wire (see “Making Binding Post/Speaker Wire Connections” for detailed instructions).

•Connect the left and right front speaker outputs of your receiver directly to the speaker inputs of your front speakers.

•Connect the center channel speaker directly to the center channel output from your receiver. (Not Shown)

•Connect the rear surround satellites directly to the rear or surround channel outputs from your receiver. (Not Shown)

•Adjust your receiver’s speaker configurations as follows:

Front Speakers = LARGE Center and Surrounds = SMALL Subwoofer = OFF or NO
