User manual POLK AUDIO CS1000P

[. . . ] When the CS1000p is used in conjunction with the PolkTM RT3000p powered tower front channel speakers and Polk f/x1000 Dipole/Bipole Surround loudspeakers, you'll have a complete home theater system that offers performance surpassed only by Polk's Signature Reference Theater® (SRT®) system. For the highest possible home theater performance, we strongly recommend using the CS1000p in conjunction with the Polk RT3000p front and f/x1000 surround loudspeakers. This total, integrated system is called the RT5000. All the drivers and tweeters in this system are identical, ensuring perfect channel to channel timbre matching for absolutely seamless imaging as well as extremely high definition and extraordinary dynamic range. [. . . ] Use this method only if your receiver, preamp or processor has a center channel preamp output jack. remove the flat metal connecting straps by loosening all four binding posts. Store the straps in a safe place for future use. Connect the top set of binding posts to the center channel speaker outputs of your amp or receiver. If your pre-amp, processor, amplifier or receiver has a line level center channel output, connect it to the subwoofer inputs on the back of the speakers. The CS1000p has a built-in power amplifier and must be plugged into a standard household AC power source in order to operate. All CS1000p's are multi-voltage units that may be switched to either 110-120 volt or 220240 volt operation. CS1000p loudspeakers sold within North America are preset at the factory for 110-120 volt AC current. CS1000p loudspeakers sold outside of North America are preset at the factory for 220-240 volt operation. If you do not know your local supply voltage, consult your Polk Audio® dealer before connecting the amplifier to the AC supply or to your other hi-fi components. to set the voltage switch , DISCONNECT THE WOOFER AMPLIFIER FROM ALL OTHER COMPONENTS AND FROM THE MAIN ELECTRICAL SUPPLY OUTLET. Insert a small flat blade screwdriver into the recessed slot of the switch and move the slide fully in the direction marked with the desired supply voltage range (Figure 5). The power switch has two positions: "Off" and "Auto. " In the "Auto" position, the amplifier will automatically turn on as soon as the speaker senses a signal coming from your pre-amp, integrated amp or receiver. In this mode the subwoofer amplifier will turn off several minutes after signals cease to be sent by your pre-amp, integrated amp or receiver. Your CS1000p is very efficient and will work well with a variety of surround sound components. As little as 20 watts of power will deliver adequate listening levels in most rooms. If you have a large room or intend to play your system at loud listening levels, more power is necessary to achieve the best performance. Your PolkTM loudspeakers are made with the highest quality materials for years of troublefree performance. However, damage to loudspeakers can occur when an amplifier, regardless of its wattage, is made to play at higher listening levels than its power can clearly produce (usually beyond the "1 to 2 o'clock" position on the volume control). This results in very high levels of audible distortion, originating in the amplifier, which adds a harsh, gritty sound to the music. Contrary to popular belief, a speaker is more likely to be damaged by trying to get too much volume from a low-powered amp or receiver than from a high-powered one.
