AC POWER CONNECTION
AND AUTO ON/OFF
PSW250, PSW350 and PSW450 models sold within North America are designed to be con- nected to 110-120 volt AC outlets.
Units destined for countries outside of North America that use 220-240 volts are factory preset for 220-240 volt operation. If you do not know your local supply voltage, consult your Polk Audio dealer before connecting the amplifier to the supply or to your other hi-fi components.
AUTO MUTE CIRCUIT
The PSW250, PSW350 and PSW450 feature auto on/off circuitry, marked “auto” on the power switch, that automatically turns your subwoofer on when it senses a program sig- nal. When no signal is present, the circuit turns the subwoofer off after a few minutes. If you are concerned about the brief delay between when the music starts and when the subwoofer turns on, simply leave your sub- woofer in the “on” position.
ADJUSTING THE
PSW250/PSW350/PSW450
•For RM6600 and RM6200 adjustments please refer to their owners manuals.
•Volume—Adjust by ear using a wide vari- ety of CDs and video sources. Adjust for deep, powerful bass without “boominess.”
•Low Pass—This control adjusts the fre- quency range over which the subwoofer operates. When using smaller main speakers, the upper range of the control will probably yield the best results. With larger speakers, the lower end of the con- trol range will probably sound best, but always let your ear be the final judge. If male vocals sound “thin,” turn this control up until the voice sounds rich but not boomy. If male vocals sound too “thick” or “chesty,” turn this control down until the voice sounds natural.
•Phase Switch—Have someone else switch between the two settings while you sit in your favorite listening position. Use music with good bass and a deep male vocal. When you hear the best balance of deep bass and natural lower octaves of the male voice, you have achieved optimum phase tuning.
MAINTAINING THE APPEARANCE OF PSW SERIES SPEAKERS
Your new speaker cabinet is made of a rugged material that can be dusted or cleaned with a moist cloth. Avoid harsh detergents and cleaning fluids, they can permanently damage your speakers’ finish.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE OR SERVICE
If, after following the hook-up directions, you experience difficulty, please double check all wire connections. Make sure that your elec- tronic equipment is operating correctly by hooking up another speaker to the speaker output. For example, if you are not getting sound from the left channel speaker, connect the right channel speaker to the left output. If you still get no sound from that side, the problem is in your amp, receiver or source electronics. Should you isolate the problem to the speaker, contact the authorized Polk Audio dealer where you made your purchase. Authorized Polk Audio dealers are the best source for advice and assistance.
