Front Speakers = Large

Center Speaker = Small

Rear Surround Speakers = Small

Subwoofer = No

OPTION #2—

Two channel or Dolby® Pro Logic receiver with no “Sub Out.”

If you elect to use the speaker level inputs, use two-conductor 16 gauge or thicker speaker wires. See your Polk dealer for wire recommendations.

Note that one of the speaker input terminals on the rear of the speaker is marked red (+) and the other black (-). Make certain that you connect the wire from the red

(+)terminal of your receiver to the red (+) terminal on your speaker, and the wire from the black (-) terminal of the receiver to the black (-) terminal on your speaker. Speaker wire has some indication (such as color coding, ribbing, or writing) on one of the two conductors to help maintain consistency. If your subwoofer doesn't seem to produce much bass, it is most likely that one of the speaker wires is connected backwards. Double check all connections for correct polarity.

Strip 1/2" (12mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors on both ends to expose the bare wire. Twist the exposed wire of each conductor to form two un-frayed strands.

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 powered subwoofer using speaker wire.

•Then, connect the left and right front speakers using speaker wire from the speaker level outputs from the powered subwoofer.

•Connect the Center Channel Speaker directly to the center channel output from your receiver.

•Connect the Rear Surround Satellites directly to the rear or surround channel outputs from your receiver.

Receiver Settings:

•Front speakers = LARGE

•Subwoofer = “OFF” or “NO”

•Center and Surrounds= SMALL
