SPEAKER PLACEMENT

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

IMPORTANT NOTE:

When this manual refers to “Front Left.” we mean the speaker on your left side as you face the front (TV) side of the room. When we refer to “Surround Left” we mean the speaker that is behind you and to your left as you face the front (TV) side of the room.

Center Channel Speaker

Place the center speaker as close to the TV as possible. The most popular placement is right on top of your TV set. It is also fine to place it below the TV or on the wall directly above the TV (using optional wall bracket).

Front Satellites

Place the front satellites about as far apart as you are sitting from them. Avoid placing them less than 2 feet from side walls.

The vertical position should be at or near your ear level when seated. If you choose to wall mount them more than 2 feet above ear level, turn the wall bracket so that the bracket angles down (see bracket instructions on next page).

Surround Speakers

The best placement for surround channel speakers is on the side walls, facing each other and slightly behind your listening position. If this placement is not possible, the speakers may be placed on the rear wall. In either case, mount the speakers two to four feet above a seated listener’s head.

Subwoofer

The magnetically shielded subwoofer may be placed in an entertainment center, behind furniture, or next to a sofa or chair. For best performance place it on the same side of the room as the front satellites and near a wall. It should only be seated on the plinth as illustrated. NEVER LAY THE SUBWOOFER ON THE AMPLIFIER END - THIS WILL DAMAGE THE AMPLIFIER.

If the 25-pin cable is not long enough, you may add a 4 meter Monster Cable brand DB25HT Audio Interconnect cable (or equivalent) to increase the length to 8 meters. Contact your Polk dealer or call Polk Audio (800) 638-7276, ext. 324, Monday through Friday, Eastern Standard Time to order an extension cable.

The RMDS-1 satellites and center channel speaker are designed only for use with this system. If they are hooked up to a regular receiver or amplifier, the speakers may be damaged.
