Polk For the people at Polk Audio, myself included, designing high quality audio products is more than just a job--it's our passion. Should you encounter any problem or question regarding this or any other Polk Audio product, consult your Polk Audio dealer or call our Customer Service Department at 800-377-7655 (US & Can only, 9am-6pm, M-F EST). Your new Digital Solution home theater system includes the very latest technologies--like DTS processing and DVD-Audio inputs-- to assure outstanding performance and compatibility now, and into the future. [. . . ] Pushing the button moves down through the list of preset stations. Aux Inputs Jacks These auxiliary video/audio input jacks are revealed by removing the oval rubber cover. They accept the connection of a camcorder, portable VCR, or any other temporary source. To make proper connections, refer the owner's manual of the auxiliary component. Signal Strength Meter This meter shows the relative signal strength of a radio signal. For best reception, orient your antenna to get the maximum number of bars on this meter. www. polkaudio. com 17 REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION Loading Remote Control Batteries 1. Change the batteries as soon as you notice that the range of the remote control has decreased. Remote Control Range The distance between the remote control transmitter and the preamp/processor should be 15 feet (5 meters) or less. If the transmitter is pointed to a direction other than the IR SENSOR or if there is an obstacle between them, the remote control may not work correctly. Approx. 5 meters 60° 18 Polk Customer Service (800) 377-7655 REMOTE CONTROL GUIDED TOUR The remote control is divided into three major sections. The top section contains the most often used controls, such as POWER, MUTE, SUBWOOFER volume and system VOLUME controls. The middle section has the source buttons where you select the source component you want to hear and see. Most folks will use them once to set up the system and never touch them again. For that matter you could never touch them and you'll still get great sound from your Digital Solution system! I--FM and AM Buttons Push the AM button to listen to AM band radio stations or push the FM button to listen to FM radio band radio stations. J--Preset Scan Button Push this button when you want to scan through the radio stations you have preset. The tuner will play each preset station for a few seconds, then move on to the next preset station. P - S C A N will flash in the display window while this mode is in use. K--Audio Input Buttons Push these buttons to listen to either CD, tape or other disc players. A--Surround Button This button switches between surround sound modes and 2 channel stereo (except when the 6 CHANNEL AUDIO input is selected). L--Video/Audio Input Buttons Push the appropriate button to select an audio/video source. Both audio and video inputs will be selected at the same time. B--Subwoofer +/- Buttons Push (+) to increase and (-) to decrease the bass volume. The Digital Solution "remembers" the bass level for stereo and surround modes. For example, if you are watching a DVD in the surround mode and you select a bass level of -7, then switch to listening to a CD in stereo and change the bass setting to -10, the system will return to a bass setting of -7 when you go back to the surround mode. M--Status Button Push this button to display the audio status of the preamp/processor on your TV screen for five (5) seconds. It will display the current source (DVD, FM, etc. ), the mode (Dolby Digital, DTS, Pro Logic, 5 Ch Surround Stereo), multi-room status (off or the selected multi-room source), Subwoofer Level and Master Volume level. C--Power Switch When this switch is pressed once, the power turns ON and display appears on the display panel. When pressed again, the power turns OFF and the standby indicator light on the preamp/processor glows red. Make sure the Power switch on the back of the subwoofer enclosure is set to the "Standby" position. When you turn on the preamp/processor, the amplifier in the subwoofer enclosure will also turn on and you will see a green glow on the base of the subwoofer. When the preamp/ processor is turned off the amplifiers turn off and the light in the subwoofer base glows red. N--Balance Button Push this button to display the Channel Balance Menu on your TV screen. See "SET UP AND CALIBRATION" on page 20. O--Delay Button Push this button to display the Delay Menu on your TV screen. [. . . ] This Warranty applies only to Products purchased in the United States of America, its possessions, and U. S.
