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. For
more detailed speaker placement information consult the manual
in the speaker cartons or visit
http://www.polkaudio.com/home/faqad/.

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.

Front Speakers

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

Surround Speakers

The best placement for surround channel speakers is high 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 seat-
ed listener’s head.

Subwoofer

The 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. It should only be
seated on the plinth as illustrated. NEVER LAY THE SUBWOOFER
ON THE AMPLIFIER END - THIS WILL DAMAGE THE AMPLIFIER.

The Digital Solution subwoofer is magnetically shielded and may be
placed close to a television set. However, if you see any color distor-
tion in your TV, move the subwoofer away from the set.

If the audio input cable is not long enough, you may add a 4 meter
(13’) Monster Cable brand DB HT Audio Interconnect cable (or equiva-
lent) to increase the length to 8 meters (26’). Contact your Polk dealer
or call Polk Audio (800) 638-7276, ext. 324, Monday through Friday,
Eastern Standard Time to order an extension cable.

If you chose a Digital Solution system with wall-mount speakers,
consult the owner’s manual in the speaker shipping carton for
detailed directions
