Please inspect your subwoofer carefully. Notify your Polk Audio dealer if you notice
any damage or missing items. Keep the carton and packing material. It will do the
best job of protecting your subwoofer if it needs to be transported. The cloth bag
protecting your subwoofer during shipment should be kept for cleaning the cabinet
surface.
Your system includes a detachable power cord that’s packaged separately from
the subwoofer. Insert the female end into the receptacle on the amplifier plate and
insert the AC plug into a wall outlet (or power strip) as per the safety instructions
found on the inside cover of this manual. We do not recommend connecting
the subwoofer’s AC power cord to your receiver’s switched outlet.
PLACING YOUR SUBWOOFER IN A ROOM
Your DSWmicro PRO Series subwoofer must be located a safe distance from
tube-type video monitors to prevent video distortion from magnetic interference.
(LCD, DLP and Plasma televisions are not affected by magnetism.) Allow at
least 24" (61cm) between your subwoofer and any tube television. If you do
notice video distortion or discoloration, immediately move the subwoofer
further away from the TV.
When placing your subwoofer in the room, always place your subwoofer
on its base, feet side down. If you can avoid it, do not place your subwoofer
next to an open door.
Polk Room Optimizer ( PRO ™ )
The Polk Room Optimizer ( PRO ™ ) feature (see page 7) lets you place your subwoofer
anywhere in the room without compromising performance.
The PRO feature will tailor your subwoofer’s performance to its location in your
room. Select one of the four buttons on your subwoofer’s remote control that
indicates where you’ve placed your subwoofer in the room. For more on this
feature, see “Polk Room Optimizer.“ on page 7 of this manual.
AUTO PRO ™
AUTO PRO ™ mitigates room resonance effects that would otherwise impart a
“boomy” quality to in-room performance. Simply connect the provided microphone
(DSWmicro
PRO 2000/3000/4000 models) into the “MIC IN” jack on the rear plate,
place the microphone near ear level within your preferred listening area and press
the “room” button on the remote control. See “AUTO
PRO ” on page 7 of this manual
for more information.
Adjustable Feet
DSWmicro PRO Series subwoofers have adjustable leveling feet. Each foot’s
shaft is threaded, enabling you to compensate for an uneven floor.
