User manual POLK AUDIO RTI12

[. . . ] This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. [. . . ] The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. Thank you for purchasing this Polk Audio loudspeaker. Since its start in 1972, Polk Audio has been dedicated to audio products that emphasize superior sound and build quality, as well as an ever-evolving standard for performance. It's our mission to provide these great products at a reasonable price for the enjoyment of people like you, who love good sound. Our thirty years of R&D, resulting in over 45 worldwide patents for loudspeaker technology and innovation, has solidified our reputation as "The Speaker Specialists, " and demonstrated that for the people here at Polk Audio, building speakers is not just a job; it's a passion. To get the most realistic stereo image and lifelike sound, place the speakers so that an equilateral triangle is created between the speakers and your favorite listening position [figure 1]. Your RTi Series Loudspeakers are magnetically shielded for safe placement near your TV or video monitor. If you notice video distortion or discoloration, immediately move the speakers away from the TV and call Polk Audio Customer Service 800-377-7655 (US and Canada) or polkcs@polkaudio. If your room arrangement forces you to place the speakers farther apart than the distance from which you are listening, angle the speakers toward the middle in order to support a more solid center image. Rubber feet and adjustable carpet spikes are included to provide stability on any type of floor. To install them, lay the speaker carefully on its side and screw in the spikes as far as they will go into the threaded inserts in the base of the speaker. If your electronics has a single set of preoutputs and they are being used to deliver signal to an amplifier, use "Y" cables. HOOK UP OPTION 3 [figure 6] is recommended for systems with receivers or preamp/processors with unfiltered subwoofer (LFE) outputs only. (To find out if your subwoofer output jack is unfiltered, please see your receiver/preamp/processor's owner's manual. ) For this connection , remove the flat metal jumper strips. Connect the line level inputs on the back of the loudspeaker to the subwoofer output(s) of your pre-amp, processor, amplifier or receiver. If you only have one subwoofer output jack, run a cable to the subwoofer line level input of one speaker and another cable from the line level output of that speaker to the line level input of the other speaker. If you are not sure about the nature of your subwoofer output jack, use either hookup option 1 or hookup option 2. To use Banana Plugs (US only): Unscrew the binding post lug nuts completely to expose the binding post plugs (plastic plugs inserted into the binding posts). Carefully pry out the binding post plugs to expose banana plug holes. Screw the lug nuts back on the binding posts and insert banana plugs. Volume level for the built-in subwoofer is adjusted using the volume control knob located on the rear plate of the amplifier [figure 7].
