[. . . ] In either case, mount the speakers two to four feet above the seated listener's head using either the built-in keyhole slot or an optional wall mounting bracket such as the OmniMount 25RST. OmniMount Brackets are available at your Polk Audio dealer or in the Polk Webstore at http://shop. SUBWOOFER (Figures A, B & C) The subwoofer may be placed in an entertainment center, behind furniture or next to a sofa or chair. The subwoofer may be placed anywhere in the room but you will get the best performance when it is on the same side of the room as the front satellites and near a wall or corner. [. . . ] Make certain that you connect the wire from the red (+) terminal of your amplifier to the red (+) terminal on your speaker, and the wire from the black (-) terminal of the amplifier to the black (-) terminal on your speaker. Most wire has some indication (such as color code, ribbing, or writing) on one of the two conductors to help maintain consistency. If your speakers sound "thin" with little bass and little to no center image, the chances are that one of the speaker wires is connected backwards. We recommend this system be used with a powered subwoofer (packaged separately) that has a built-in, adjustable low pass filter to separate the bass from the full range signal. the "subwoofer output" jacks (sometimes labeled "LFE") on most receivers also contain a fixed low pass filter. If you connect the subwoofer to the receiver's subwoofer output jack the two filters will interact and reduce the fidelity of your system. If you follow the hook up and the "receiver set up" instructions below, you will get all of the bass to the subwoofer and get the highest possible performance from your system. E S T H O O K U P M E T H O D (Figure G) Connect the left and right front speaker outputs of your receiver or amplifier to the SPEAKER LEVEL INPUTS of the powered subwoofer. connect the satellite speakers to the SPEAKER LEVEL OUTPUTS of the subwoofer. If it is more convenient, parallel wire the subwoofer and satellites from your receiver. (Figure H) Connect the center channel speaker directly to the center speaker output of your receiver or amplifier. RECEIVER SET UP All surround sound receivers allow you to match the electronics to your speakers. Refer to the owners manual of your receiver or surround processor to learn how this is done. To get the best performance from the RM6700, use the following settings: · " This setting may not make sense to you as your RM6700 system is used with a subwoofer, but really, this is the right setting. Start with the VOLUME level at about the 1 O'clock position. Adjust up or down until you get sufficient bass for your personal taste. Remember that room position can have a very large affect on perceived bass level. ⷠTurn the LOW PASS to the middle of the shaded area for best blending between the subwoofer and the satellites. You'll know the setting is correct when a high quality recorded male voice sounds full without any chestiness. If vocals sound thin turn this control up--if they sound boomy turn it down (See Figure E). SAFE LIMITS OF OPERATION Your Polk loudspeakers are made with the highest quality materials for years of trouble-free 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).
