OPTION #1 Receivers that include a Sub Out featurethe most common hookup method with Dolby Digital receivers. PSW10 NOTE: The PSW10 subwoofer does not have an LFE input. Instead, use either the L or R Line input (another hookup option is to use a Y-split cable and connect both L and R Line inputs). After you make this Sub Out connection, turn the "Low Pass" filter fully clockwise. This will in effect create an LFE input. PSW12 NOTE: Connect a single RCA cable from the SUB OUT of your receiver to the LFE input of the subwoofer. This connecting method bypasses the subwoofers internal filter and relies on the filter built into your receiver. Make no other signal connections. Do not use speaker wire to make the connection to the subwoofer. Connect all speakers directly to the receiver. When using method #1, adjust your receivers speaker configurations as follows: Set Front, Center and Surround speakers to small. Depending on your 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. Receiver Settings: Front, Center, and Surrounds = SMALL Subwoofer = ON, or YES, or PRESENT Consult your receivers owners manual for speaker configuration.

OPO #1 Receivers que oferecem um recurso de Sub Out (Sada sub)o mtodo de conexo mais comum com receivers Dolby Digital. PSW10 NOTA: O subwoofer PSW10 no tem uma entrada LFE (efeitos de baixa freqncia). Em seu lugar, use a entrada de linha esquerda (L) ou direita (R) [outra opo de conexo usar um cabo em Y e conectar as duas entradas de linha, esquerda (L) e direita (R)]. Depois de fazer esta conexo de sada de subwoofer, gire o filtro passa-baixa totalmente no sentido horrio. Isto criar o efeito de uma entrada LFE. PSW12 Conecte um cabo RCA simples da sada SUB OUT do receiver para a entrada LFE do subwoofer. Este mtodo de conexo ignora o filtro interno do subwoofer e utiliza o filtro embutido do receiver. No faa nenhuma outra conexo de sinais. No use cabo de caixa acstica para fazer a conexo ao subwoofer. Conecte todas as caixas acsticas diretamente ao receiver. Quando usar o mtodo 1, ajuste as configuraes das caixas acsticas conectadas ao receiver da seguinte maneira: ajuste as caixas acsticas frontal, central e surround para small (reproduo atenuada de graves). Dependendo da capacidade de reproduo de graves das caixas acsticas, ajuste a freqncia do crossover do receiver para 80 HZ para caixas acsticas tipo torre e de estante (unidades com um woofer de 5-1/4" de dimetro ou mais) e 100-120 HZ para caixas acsticas satlite. Ajustes do receiver: Ajuste as caixas acsticas frontal, central e surround para small (reproduo atenuada de graves). Configure o subwoofer para ON (Ativado), YES (Sim) ou PRESENT (Presente). Consulte o manual do receiver antes de fazer a conexo usando esta configurao.

OPTION #2 Two channel or Dolby Pro Logic receiver with no Sub Out. If you elect to use the speaker level inputs, use two-conductor 16 gauge or thicker speaker wires. See your Polk dealer for wire recommendations. Note that one of the speaker input terminals on the rear of the speaker is marked red (+) and the other black (-). Make certain that you connect the wire from the red (+) terminal of your receiver to the red (+) terminal on your speaker, and the wire from the black (-) terminal of the receiver to the black (-) terminal on your speaker. Speaker wire has some indication (such as color coding, ribbing, or writing) on one of the two conductors to help maintain consistency. If your subwoofer doesn't seem to produce much bass, it is most likely that one of the speaker wires is connected backwards. Double check all connections for correct polarity. 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. Note: Do not use the line or LFE input in this configuration. Connect the left and right front speaker outputs of your receiver to the speaker level inputs of the powered subwoofer using speaker wire. Then, connect the left and right front speakers using speaker wire from the speaker level outputs from the powered subwoofer. Connect the Center Channel Speaker directly to the center channel output from your receiver. Connect the Rear Surround Satellites directly to the rear or surround channel outputs from your receiver. Receiver Settings: Front speakers = LARGE Subwoofer = OFF or NO Center and Surrounds= SMALL

Conecte as sadas esquerda e direita do pr-amplificador do receiver s entradas de nvel de linha esquerda e direita do subwoofer. No use cabos para caixas acsticas. Se for usado o mtodo 3, necessrio ajustar as configuraes do receiver da seguinte maneira: Ajustes do receiver: Caixas acsticas frontais = LARGE Subwoofer = OFF ou NO

ADJUSTING YOUR SYSTEM

SUBWOOFER ADJUSTMENTS Your Powered Subwoofer offers a range of setting options. We recommend the following settings as starting points, but the settings that are best for you depend upon your speaker placement, electronics and personal taste. After you've become familiar with what the settings do, experiment with alternate options to find the method that works best for your system setup. You'll find an informative article on Subwoofer Positioning and Adjustment in the set up section at: www.polkaudio.com/education/article.php?id=19. 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. Start with the volume at 50%. AC POWER CONNECTION AND AUTO ON/OFF Your PSW Series subwoofer features auto on/off circuitry, marked auto on the power switch, which automatically turns your subwoofer on when it senses a program signal. We recommend the auto setting if your subwoofer is always receiving power (ie, if it's plugged into a wall outlet). When no signal is present, the circuit turns the subwoofer off after 15 minutes. If you are concerned about the brief delay between when the music starts and when the subwoofer turns on, simply leave your subwoofer in the On position. You may want to leave your PSW system unplugged during extended periods of non use, such as during a vacation. FINE TUNING YOUR SUBWOOFER VolumeAdjust by ear using a wide variety of CDs and video sources. Adjust for deep, powerful bass without boominess. Low PassNOTE: (PSW12) This control does not operate when the subwoofer is connected with Method #1 (LFE Input). This control adjusts the frequency range over which the subwoofer operates. When using smaller main speakers, the upper range of the control will probably yield the best results. With larger speakers, the lower end of the control range will probably sound best, but always let your ear be the final judge. If male vocals sound thin, turn this control up until the voice sounds rich but not boomy. If male vocals sound too thick or chesty, turn this control down until the voice sounds natural. Phase SwitchSit in your favorite listening position. Play music (not a movie) with a walking bass line. We recommend playing jazz or country music. Now listen carefully for the point at which the subwoofer transitions to your main speakers. This is the crossover point, and this point should be below the frequency of a male human voice. Whichever phase setting sounds louder or fuller at the subwoofers crossover (transition) point is the optimum setting. Sometimes no difference will be heard. TROUBLESHOOTING No sound coming from subwoofer If hookup is Sub Out to LFE, is your receiver set to Subwooferyes If hookup is via speaker wire, check that the polarity of the wires is correct. If hookup is Sub Out to LFE, is your receiver set to Subwooferyes If hookup is via speaker wire, check that the polarity of the wires is correct. Check outlet; check fuse after unplugging the subwoofer.
