You likely have many sources for your audio signal: your TV, your DVD player, or a cable/satellite box. The bar is able to accept audio from up to three different sources. The simplest approach is to connect the optical audio output of your TV to the optical input on the back of the bar. This method will provide the highest quality audio regardless of whether you are watching TV or watching your favorite DVD. Your subwoofer receives a wireless audio signal from the bar, so all you need to do is plug in the power cord and make sure the main power switch is ON. If your TV does not have an optical output, you can use the optical output from your DVD player or your cable/satellite box to connect to the optical input on the bar. Then simply use the other bar inputs for your other audio sources. SOURCE MUTE TV or Cable/Sat Box Wall mounted bar Shelf mounted bar sits in front of TV WHERE TO LOCATE YOUR BAR FOR THE BEST SOUND It’s easy. The bar comes with rubber feet already attached, so it will sit securely on any flat surface. Just center the bar under your TV screen. If your TV is housed in a media center, you can place the bar above the TV. If your TV is wall mounted, the bar can mount right beneath it. The bar has built-in keyhole slots that make it easy. Note: The rubber feet are detachable and may be removed entirely (for wall-mounting the bar) or moved along the bottom surface of the bar, depending upon your installation.

WHERE TO LOCATE YOUR SUBWOOFER FOR THE BEST SOUND Your wireless subwoofer is really easy to place and can go just about anywhere in the room. Plus you don’t have to worry about connecting wires, because the only wire you have to plug in is the power cord. And that’s it. Here’s a little trick: If you place your subwoofer in a corner of your room, it will reinforce the subwoofer’s output, making it sound louder. Note: If necessary remove the protective cap prior to inserting cable. CONNECTING THE BAR AND WIRELESS SUBWOOFER The SurroundBar 6000 bar and wireless subwoofer come from the factory preset to work together. If the wireless subwoofer stops receiving an audio signal, follow these instructions to re-establish the connection. 1. Turn off the subwoofer’s AC Mains switch. 2. Press and hold the SYNC button on the back of the bar for three (3) seconds. 3. The LED on the back of the bar will blink, indicating that the bar and the subwoofer are ready to be connected. 4. Turn on the subwoofer’s AC Mains switch. When the subwoofer LED turns solid green the bar and subwoofer are connected and ready to use.

If you don’t, turn up the volume on the bar using its volume control buttons. Programming Instructions: Your SurroundBar 6000 IHT is currently programmed to respond to the remote control that is included with the product. However, we strongly recommend that you program the SurroundBar 6000 IHT to also respond to your existing remote control using the steps illustrated below thereby enabling you to operate all of your components using a single remote control. If your bar is connected to your TV, there’s a very good chance your TV speakers are also playing. It’s impossible to give specific instructions on how to turn off the speakers for every TV, but here’s a way to do it that covers many of the TVs out there. 1. On your TV remote control, find a “menu” or “setup” button. 2. Press this button. You should see an on-screen menu. TROUBLESHOOTING Example: To teach your bar the “Volume Up” command of your remote control: LEARN SOURCE Ensure the subwoofer is plugged into a live wall outlet. Ensure the rear panel power switch is in the “ON” position. MUTE If you can’t turn off your TV internal speakers, don’t worry. Your SurroundBar 6000 IHT will make your TV sound much better. To enjoy the best performance from your bar, you’ll want it to play louder than your TV. Use the following steps to adjust the volume balance between your TV and the bar: 2. Turn your TV volume all the way down using the control buttons on your TV. 3. Then, using the volume keys on your bar, set the volume to a normal listening level (do not use the remote control). After you make these adjustments, your SurroundBar 6000 IHT should always be louder than your TV speakers. Then use the TV remote control to adjust the volume as you normally do. FINE TUNING YOUR SUBWOOFER VOLUME LEVEL The next thing you’ll want to do is adjust the subwoofer to blend with your bar. This will ensure the system produces the best sound. To set the subwoofer’s volume, play a variety of source material— some music, a movie sound track with great special effects, a movie chapter or a part of a concert in which people are speaking. Adjust the volume until what you hear sounds natural to you in your normal viewing location. Check that the TV or cable box is providing a signal. If necessary, check using an alternate source. Check that the bar is receiving power and is turned on. Turn up the volume of the bar. Check the input cables to make sure they are connected securely. Turn up the volume of your television or cable box. Check mute status: Is the bar status light slowly blinking green? If so, press the MUTE button on the bar. VOL 1. Press and hold “LEARN” on the bar until the LED blinks orange. No sound from the subwoofer. 2. Press “Volume Up” ( ). LED stops blinking and remains steady orange. 3. While holding your TV’s remote within 1-2 feet of the bar, quickly tap the “Volume Up” button on your remote. With each tap the status LED should flash briefly. The status LED will blink green for about 5 seconds when programming is completed successfully. Repeat steps 1-3 to program “Volume Down” ( Mute and Power buttons ( ). Turn up the subwoofer’s volume using the remote control. Place the subwoofer closer to a corner of the room. Move subwoofer closer to viewing location within the room. The bar won’t learn my remote control commands. Carefully follow the programming instructions on the previous page of this manual. Hold the remote steady and 1-2 feet from the front of the bar. Quickly “tap” the button on your existing remote until the status LED blinks green. Note: The bar learns almost all IR commands, but some IR protocols cannot be programmed. No sound from the bar. The setting to turn off your TV’s internal speakers should be here. 1. If necessary, program your bar to respond to the volume up and down control commands of your TV remote. (See “HOW TO SETUP A REMOTE CONTROL FOR YOUR SURROUNDBAR 6000 IHT” on this page.) Ensure you have plugged the power supply into a live wall outlet. Ensure that all components of the power supply are connected properly. Ensure the power supply is properly connected to the bar power input. Ensure the rear panel power switch is in the “ON” position. The subwoofer does not power on. LED 3. Next, look for an option to control audio functions and select it. Bass output is not loud enough. The bar does not power on. See section “Subwoofer does not power on.” Turn up the subwoofer volume using the remote control. Is the subwoofer status indicator blinking green? If so, the bar and subwoofer’s wireless connection has been lost. Turn off both the bar and subwoofer. Then turn them back on to re-establish communication. If this does not fix the issue, refer to the section “CONNECTING THE BAR AND WIRELESS SUBWOOFER,” on page 7. The volume of my television speakers gets louder than my SurroundBar 6000 system over time. Turn off your TV speakers per the instructions on page 8 of this manual. When the remote control volume button is held down, your television may change volume levels faster than the bar. Use the buttons on the bar to adjust the volume of the bar to the correct balance with the TV speakers. The subwoofer’s output is intermittent, or sounds weak or is distorted. The wireless subwoofer could be too far away from the bar to receive a sufficiently strong signal. Try moving the subwoofer closer. ), Source, Note: If your bar fails to learn certain IR remote codes, then the power LED will blink red. Try erasing any previously programmed codes (see below) and carefully repeat steps 1-3 above. Code Erasing Procedure: If you have programmed your SurroundBar 6000 to respond to a remote control and you no longer want it to do so, then you can erase the codes by pressing the LEARN key for about two seconds while the unit is in standby mode (power LED is red). You’ll know that previously learned codes have been successfully erased when the power LED blinks orange twice. The sound coming from the bar is distorted. Try turning down the volume of your audio source, if possible. Audio processing (see FAQ’s on page 10)— there may be audio processing occurring prior to reaching the bar. Disable this processing. The included remote control won’t work. Ensure the battery’s protective plastic tab has been removed. Replace the battery (CR2025). NOTE: This procedure removes ALL of your bar’s remote control programming. If you only need to change the programming for some of the bar buttons, follow the three steps in the sequence previously described to redo any previous programming. The SurroundBar 6000 will continue to respond to the provided credit card remote control.

How do I connect my audio? You have several options for connecting your audio: Use the optical output of your cable/satellite box and connect directly to the SurroundBar 6000 using the optical cable. Use the headphone output of your TV and connect directly to the SurroundBar 6000 using a 3.5mm stereo analog cable. Use the RCA audio outputs (white/red pair) on your TV (or other source) and connect directly to the SurroundBar 6000 using a 3.5mm to Stereo RCA analog adapter. A Note Regarding Wireless Performance: How do I control the SurroundBar 6000? There are three ways to control your SurroundBar 6000: Use the touch-sensitive buttons on the front of the bar. Use the provided remote control. Program the SurroundBar 6000 to respond to your existing remote (see included instructions). In this rare event, simply turn off the power (switch located on the back of the bar), wait a few seconds, and then turn the power back on. This should restore control. How do I erase previously learned remote control commands? If you have programmed your SurroundBar 6000 to respond to a remote control and you no longer want it to do so, then you can erase the codes by pressing the LEARN key for about two seconds while the unit is in standby mode (power LED is red). The SurroundBar 6000 will continue to respond to the provided credit card remote control. My audio sounds strange and distorted. Your SurroundBar 6000 requires a clean, unaltered stereo or Dolby Digital signal for proper audio performance. If the sound from your SurroundBar 6000 is strange or distorted, then check the audio menus of whatever source(s) are connected to your SurroundBar 6000 and make sure any audio processing is turned off. Can I adjust the subwoofer level control from the bar keypad if I cannot locate the provided remote control? Yes. You can control the subwoofer volume from the bar keypad by tapping the LEARN key prior to using the volume buttons. When the power LED shines orange, the volume keys ( / ) control the subwoofer volume. Tap the LEARN key again when you are done with the adjustment. Why can’t I successfully program the SurroundBar 6000 to respond to my remote control? There are many remote control formats, and we have done our best to make the SurroundBar 6000 compatible with the most popular brands. However, there are likely some cases in which the bar will not be able to learn your remote codes. In this case, please use the remote control provided with the SurroundBar 6000 product or try a different universal remote control. your SurroundBar 6000 IHT System. Maintaining a distance of several feet or more between your SurroundBar 6000 IHT speaker and any wireless device should prevent any mutual interference effects. If you do notice any subwoofer signal dropouts take care to identify the root cause (most commonly having other wireless devices too close) and resolve accordingly. Any interference effects from a microwave oven will cease once the oven stops operating and may be resolved on a long-term basis by increasing the physical distance between your SurroundBar 6000 IHT System and the microwave oven. My SurroundBar 6000 was responding to commands, but now it isn’t. What should I do? What if my provided optical cable is too short? We did our best to provide a cable of adequate length; however, there might be a few setup instances in which the cable may be too short. If that is your situation, your local electronics store will have cables that meet your required length. Like all wireless devices, your SurroundBar 6000 IHT may be susceptible to RF interference from such sources as microwave ovens, WiFi computer systems, video game systems, cordless telephones, blue tooth systems, baby monitors and other devices. In particular, any devices operating in the 2.4GHz band may cause intermittent wireless connections between the SurroundBar 6000 speaker and the subwoofer. It is also possible that your SurroundBar 6000 IHT System may affect other wireless systems. For the most part, you can avoid wireless performance problems by physically separating these devices from WARNING: LISTEN CAREFULLY Polk Audio loudspeakers and subwoofers are capable of playing at extremely high volume levels, which could cause serious or permanent hearing damage.
