Polk Audio RMDS-1 - Manual (Page 5)

www.polkaudio.com 5
• You want to enjoy a home theater system, not have it take over your home.
The RMDS-1 features 5 compact satellite speakers that easily integrate into
any room. They’re easy to hide but look great when visible. You can even
hang them on the wall with the supplied wall mount brackets. (Center
brackets not supplied.)
• The RMDS-1 is a fully integrated and performance optimized system.
That means all the parts were designed together for a single purpose:
to bring you the highest performance satellite/subwoofer system in the world.
• Got a big room to fill? Not to worry. The RMDS-1 has a high power 6
channel power amplifier built right into the subwoofer enclosure.
This is an honest-to-goodness, beefy high-end power amp with all the
features that send audiophiles into rapture: high current, discrete
circuits, dynamic headroom... But forget the jargon, this system plays
loud and clean without strain even in large rooms.
• The RMDS-1 also includes one of the world’s most sophisticated
digital surround sound processors, which hooks up to the power
amplifiers with a single convenient cable.
• Plug’n’Play – the preamp/processor is pre-configured for the speakers
to bring you high performance right out of the box, without the need for
complicated set-up procedures.
• The perfectly matched front, rear, and center speakers ensure
seamless blending and lifelike surround sound effects. You’ll feel like
you are part of the action rather than a distant observer.
• Home theater is a group experience. The RMDS-1 speakers were
designed to deliver broad, even dispersion of full-response sound
throughout the room. Everyone hears clean, clear dialog music and
sound effects.
• Some CDs have too much bass, some have too little. The same is
true for movies. Most people like to adjust bass volume from CD to CD,
movie to movie. We put the subwoofer volume control on the remote
to make it easy for you to get the right amount of bass without
leaving your chair.
• Half of the world is looking for the meaning of life. The other half is
looking for better bass. (This is as good as humor gets in the audio
business.) If you are part of the latter group, we’ve got the subwoofer
for you. The RMDS-1 subwoofer uses our patented Power Port bass
venting system to deliver deep, powerful bass with low distortion.
Your friends will be green with envy.
• Most folks like more bass on movies than music. With the RMDS-1,
once you have set subwoofer level for each surround mode, the
system remembers and returns to that setting. We call this feature
subwoofer/source memory. If you are watching a DVD and you select a
bass level of -7, then switch 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. We love this feature. We think you will too.
• Simple, intuitive operation. Everyone in the house, from kids to
grandparents, can enjoy ultra high-performance home theater
entertainment without reading this dopey manual.
• You have lots of potential entertainment sources. The RMDS-1 has
enough analog and digital audio inputs to hook up any source – DVD,
Laserdisc, VCR, DSS, Tape, CD, Camcorder, and Cable TV.
• The RMDS-1 has three digital inputs, including an RF input, for laserdisc
players with an AC-3 RF output, plus two other digital inputs for a DVD
player and the latest Dolby Digital capable satellite TV (DSS) receivers.
• The RMDS-1 comes with audiophile-grade cables with gold plated
connectors for hooking up all the parts of the RMDS-1 system.
• Is picture quality as important to you as the quality of sound? You’re
going to appreciate that the RMDS-1 offers S Video inputs and outputs
in addition to standard composite video. S video cables provide better
picture detail than conventional video cables.
• Would you like music in another room? No problem. The RMDS-1 has
independent Multi-Room stereo pre-amp outputs that allow you to hear
one source in a remote room while a different source is playing in the
main room. (Requires optional external stereo integrated amplifier and
speakers for the second zone.)
