[. . . ] Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, this apparatus should not be exposed to rain or moisture and objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus. To completely disconnect this equipment from the mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the receptacle. Polk Audio loudspeakers and subwoofers are capable of playing at extremely high volume levels, which could cause serious or permanent hearing damage. [. . . ] â· 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. 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. â· 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). â· Connect the left and right front speaker outputs of your receiver directly to the speaker inputs of your front speakers. â· Connect the center channel speaker directly to the center channel output from your receiver. Making Binding Post/Speaker Wire Connections There are two pair of speaker input terminals on the rear of the subwoofer. Make certain that you connect the wire from the red (+) terminal of your receiver to the red (+) terminal on your subwoofer and the wire from the black (-) terminal of the receiver to the black (-) terminal on your subwoofer. Speaker wire has some indication (such as color coding, ribbing, or writing) on one of the two conductors to help maintain consistency. 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 (one on each end). Note: When you set up your subwoofer for the first time, you will probably have to make adjustments several times before you hear what you personally like. POLK ROOM OPTIMIZER (PRO) Where you place your subwoofer in your room affects its response. DSWmicroPRO Series subwoofers incorporate the Polk Room Optimizer (PRO) feature--four push button room equalization presets that optimize your subwoofer's performance for typical room placements: "cabinet, " "corner, " "mid-wall" and "mid-room. The that none of the bare wire ends touch each other, because contact could result Polk Room Optimizer (PRO) feature allows you to place your DSWmicroPRO Series in an electrical short and cause your receiver to turn off or malfunction. Based upon the four most common room placements for subwoofers, PRO optimizes sound quality for you, smoothing out the bass response that a particular room placement creates. You simply choose the location your subwoofer is in and select the corresponding button on your subwoofer's remote control. aUTOPRO ROOM RESONANCE CORRECTION (DSW2000/3000/4000 only) While PRO addresses boundary effects on subwoofer performance , AUTOPRO employs a novel , dynamic technique for correcting room resonant effects. Excessive room resonance imparts a "boomy" quality that inhibits the delivery of accurate, tight bass to listeners. AUTOPRO corrects for these particular room modes that negatively affect performance within those areas of your room where you sit most often. With the speaker wire inserted into the binding post, turn the hex nut clockwise until it's snug. Note: If your subwoofer doesn't seem to produce much bass, it is most likely that one of the speaker wires is connected backwards.
