Connecting the Speakers
We have supplied you with 5 sets of audiophile-grade speaker wire to
connect your speakers. Each wire is color coded just to make it easy
for you to see which wire is which at the amplifier side. There are
three 20’ wires and two 40’ wires. In most set-ups the 20’ wires are
the proper length for the front and center speakers but you can use
any wire on any channel. Use whatever length makes sense for your
set up and speaker placement. If you want to trim the wires to the
exact needed length, use a pair of wire cutters to cut the wire and
strip a
2
inch of insulation from the cut end. Make sure you identify
which conductor is + (red) and which is – (black) so that you can
maintain correct polarity.
Front L&R Speakers
Use one of the supplied speaker wires to connect the Left satellite
speaker to the Left Front speaker output on the subwoofer amplifier.
One conductor of the speaker wire is marked with a red band. Use
that conductor to connect the red (+) terminal of the speaker to the
red (+) Left Front speaker terminal on the subwoofer amplifier. Use
the speaker wire conductor with a black band to connect the black (-)
terminal of the satellite speaker to the black (-) terminal on the
subwoofer amplifier. To get a secure connection, loosen the 5-way
binding post thumb nuts far enough to slip the bare wire into the hole
in the shaft. Tighten the thumb nut by hand or a 3/8” nut driver. DO
NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Repeat for the Right Front channel speaker.
Center Speaker
Follow the same procedure described above to connect the center
speaker to the Center Speaker outputs on the subwoofer amplifier.
Surround L&R Speakers
Follow the same procedure described above to connect the rear
surround speakers to the Left Surround and Right Surround speaker
outputs on the subwoofer amplifier.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be careful to maintain correct polarity on all
the speakers by always using the speaker wire with the red band
for the red (+) terminals and the black marked wire for the black
(-) terminals ON THE AMPLIFIER AND ALL THE SPEAKERS.
Failure to maintain correct polarity will result in poor sound
quality. Double check all connections before using the system.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE

Connecting to AC Outlets
Once you are completely done connecting all your source components,
TV and speakers, you can plug the system into household 110-120V, 60
Hz AC power outlets. Locate the Power switch on the back of the
subwoofer and set it to the “Standby” position. A small pilot light on
the bottom of the subwoofer will glow red indicating that the system
amplifiers are plugged in and awaiting a turn-on “order” from the
preamp/processor. When the preamp/processor is turned on, it will
turn the amplifiers fully on and the pilot light will glow green. If you will
be away from home for an extended period of time, turn the subwoofer
power switch to “Off.”
If the supplied speaker wire is not long enough, contact your Polk
Audio retailer. Do not use lamp cord. Use high quality 16 gauge or
thicker speaker wire.
