Just center the SurroundBar SDA under your TV screen. Using the supplied cradle mounts, place the SurroundBar SDA slightly in front of your TV. If your TV is housed in a media center, you can place the SurroundBar SDA above the TV. The SurroundBar SDA can also sit on a flat surface without using the cradles. If your TV is wall mounted, the SurroundBar SDA can mount right beneath it. The SurroundBar SDA has built-in keyhole slots that make it easy. Use the supplied wall mount template so that the speaker is centered beneath your TV. WHERE TO LOCATE YOUR WIRELESS SUBWOOFER FOR THE BEST SOUND Your Wireless Subwoofer is really easy to place and can go just about anywhere in the room. Plus you donât have to worry about connecting wires, because the only wire you have to plug in is the power cord to an AC outlet. And thatâs it. Cradle Mounted SurroundBar SDA Hereâs a little trick: If you place your subwoofer in a corner of your room, it will reinforce the subwooferâs output, making it sound louder. Wall Mounted SurroundBar SDA Customer Service Hours of Operation: Monday-Friday, 9AM-6PM EST polkcs@polkaudio.com HOW TO CONNECT YOUR SurroundBarÂŽSDAÂŽ This is really easy, too. You probably have two sources for a signal: your TV or a cable/satellite TV box. Televison COMPOSITE INPUT COMPONENT INPUT SurroundBar SDA AUDIO OUTPUT AUDIO AUDIO VIDEO POWER 24V...... 2.7A INPUT PB ANTENNA WALL OUTLET PR Cable/Satellite Input COMPOSITE OUTPUT VIDEO CABLE INPUT COMPONENT INPUT PB PR SurroundBar SDA AUDIO OUTPUT POWER 24V...... 2.7A INPUT WALL OUTLET Receiving a signal from a cable/satellite box makes it easier to set up your SurroundBar SDA Instant Home Theater System. If, however, you have additional sources (like a DVD player) you may need to take the audio signal from your TV so you can have sound from your SurroundBar SDA with all of your other sources. HOW TO CONNECT YOUR WIRELESS SUBWOOFER Your Wireless Subwoofer receives a wireless audio signal from the SurroundBar SDA, so all you need to do is plug it into an AC outlet. Polk Audio Customer Service 800-377-7655 (Outside USA & Canada: 410-358-3600) GET READY FOR GREAT SOUND On your TV remote control, find a âmenuâ or âsetupâ button. A few easy steps, and youâre ready to start enjoying your SurroundBarÂŽSDAÂŽ Instant Home Theater. Press this button. You should see an on-screen menu. Next, look for an option to control audio functions and select it. Connect the SurroundBar SDA Power Supply to the SurroundBar SDA and plug the other end into an AC outlet. Plug the Subwoofer Power Cord into an AC outlet and into the back of the Wireless Subwoofer. Turn on the power switches on both the SurroundBar SDA and the Wireless Subwoofer. Turn on the other components in your system and tune to a familiar channel. The setting to turn off your TVâs internal speakers should be here. HOW TO OPTIMIZE THE SOUND WHEN TV SPEAKERS ARE ON If you canât turn off your TV internal speakers, donât worry. Your SurroundBar SDA will make your TV sound much better. You should hear sound from the SurroundBar SDA. If you donât, turn up the volume on the SurroundBar SDA using its volume control buttons. To enjoy the best performance from your SurroundBar SDA, youâll want it to play louder than your TV. Use the following steps to adjust the volume balance between your TV and the SurroundBar SDA: If your SurroundBar SDA is connected to your TV, try adjusting the volume using the TV remote control. If the volume level of your SurroundBar SDA changes, it means it is connected to a âvariableâ output. The mute control on your remote control should also work. In this case you do not have to program your SurroundBar SDA to respond to your remote control. If the volume level does not change, refer to page 10 âHOW TO SET UP A REMOTE CONTROL FOR YOUR SurroundBar SDA.â If necessary program your SurroundBar SDA to respond to the volume up and down control commands of your TV remote. (See âHOW TO SETUP A REMOTE CONTROL FOR YOUR SurroundBar SDA.â on page 10.) Turn your TV volume all the way down using the control buttons on your TV. If your SurroundBar SDA is connected to your TV, thereâs a very good chance your TV speakers are also playing. Itâs impossible to give specific instructions on how to turn off the speakers for every TV, but hereâs a way to do it that covers many of the TVs out there. Then, using the volume control buttons on your SurroundBar SDA, set the volume to a normal listening level. After you make these adjustments, your SurroundBar SDA should always be louder than your TV speakers. Then use the TV remote control to adjust the volume as you normally do. NOTE: You may need to adjust the GAIN LEVEL to â3â to compensate for the low TV volume setting (See page 10 for details). Customer Service Hours of Operation: Monday-Friday, 9AM-6PM EST polkcs@polkaudio.com FINE TUNING YOUR SurroundBarÂŽSDAÂŽ IHT SOUND The next thing youâll want to do is adjust the Wireless Subwoofer to blend with your SurroundBar SDA speaker. This will ensure the system produces the best sound. Set the Wireless Subwooferâs volume to the middle of its range. Now play a variety of source materialâsome 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. RememberâThe SurroundBar SDA can learn to respond to almost any button on almost any remote. Decide what remote you want to use âtelevision, satellite receiver, cable control box, etc.âand program your SurroundBar SDA to respond to the buttons you want to use. If you make a mistake, or want to erase the remote control programming of the SurroundBar SDA, hereâs what you do: Press and hold the âMUTEâ and âREMOTEâ buttons simultaneously. MUTE HOW TO SET UP A REMOTE CONTROL FOR YOUR SurroundBar SDA IHT If your existing TV or Cable/Satellite remote does not change the volume of the SurroundBar SDA, then your SurroundBar SDA is connected to a âconstant levelâ (or âfixedâ) output. This means youâll want to program your SurroundBar SDA to respond to the remote control codes of your existing remote or any other remote control you want to use. Ideally, you will need only one remote for your system. Example: To have your SurroundBar SDA learn the âmuteâ command of your remote control: 1 Press and hold the âREMOTEâ button until the status light MUTE REMOTE turns orange and starts blinking. 2 Press the button on the SurroundBar SDA that you want to program to respond to your remote controlâin this case MUTE REMOTE The status light flashes red and orange for several seconds. NOTE: This procedure removes ALL of your SurroundBar SDA remote control programming. If you only need to change the programming for some of the SurroundBar SDA buttons, follow the three steps in the left-hand column to redo any previous programming. DETAILS ABOUT SurroundBarÂŽSDA PowerâThe power switches on the back of the SurroundBar SDA and Wireless Subwoofer can be left on. The SurroundBar SDA has an automatic power standby system. After about 15 minutes of inactivity, the amplifiers will shut down. As soon as a signal is applied to the inputs of the SurroundBar SDA, the amplifiers automatically turn on again. Channel ID SwitchesâBoth the SurroundBar SDA and Wireless Subwoofer have Channel ID switches. The switch settings change the frequency of the wireless signal the SurroundBar SDA sends to the Wireless Subwoofer. The two switches must be set to the same position. REMOTE Example: Switch Settings the âMUTEâ button. The status indicator should stop blinking and turn a steady orange. SurroundBar SDA 3 Point your remote control at the front of the SurroundBar SDA from approximately 12" (30cm) away. Press and hold the mute button on your remote for a full second then release the button for a full second. Repeat the press and release sequence until the status indicator starts blinking green. TIP: Hold the remote steady and press/release the button slowly so your SurroundBar SDA can learn the remote signal. If your SurroundBar SDA fails to learn the remote control signal it will blink red. If this occurs, repeat steps 1 - 3. Be sure to keep the remote steady and press the button slowly. Repeat the process for the other buttons on your remote control that you want your SurroundBar SDA to learn. 10 CHANNEL ID 1234 Wireless Subwoofer CHANNEL ID 1234 Youâll probably never need to adjust these switches. If you put more than one SurroundBar SDA IHT system in your home, use different Channel ID switch settings so the systems donât interfere with each other. Gain Level SwitchâThis changes the input sensitivity of your SurroundBar SDA. If the output of your television is too low, you may need to change the Gain Level to â3â to make the SurroundBar SDA play louder. Conversely, if you hear distortion, set the Gain Level toâ1â to make it sound better. Polk Audio Customer Service 800-377-7655 (Outside USA & Canada: 410-358-3600) Bass output not loud enough.

Ensure the Channel ID switches on the SurroundBar SDA and Wireless Subwoofer are set to the same number. The sound coming from the SurroundBar SDA is distorted. Change the Gain Level switch setting to a lower number. Check the signal source to ensure the distortion is not coming from there. Turn up the Wireless Subwooferâs volume control. Place the Wireless Subwoofer closer to a corner of the room. Move wireless subwoofer closer to viewing location within the room. SurroundBar SDA wonât learn my remote control commands. Carefully follow the programming instructions on the previous page of this manual. Hold the remote steady and 12" (30cm) from the front of the SurroundBar SDA. Press and release the remote control button slowly. Note: The SurroundBar SDA learns almost all IR commands, but some IR protocols cannot be programmed. There is a âpopâ noise when I turn off my television. Program the SurroundBar SDA to be turned on and off with the power button on your television remote control. The volume of my television speakers gets louder than my SurroundBar SDA system over time. Turn off your TV speakers per the instructions on page 9 of this manual. When the remote control volume button is held down, your television may change volume levels faster than the SurroundBar SDA. Use the buttons on the SurroundBar SDA to adjust the volume of the SurroundBar SDA to the correct balance with the television speakers. The Wireless Subwooferâs output is intermittent, or sounds weak or is distorted. Is the SurroundBar SDA status indicator blinking orange? If so, the SurroundBar SDA and Wireless Subwoofer have failed to establish a wireless connection. Turn off both the SurroundBar SDA and Wireless Subwoofer. Then turn them back on to re-establish communication. Try changing settings of the Channel ID switches on both the SurroundBar SDA and the Wireless Subwoofer. The Wireless Subwoofer could be too far away from the SurroundBar SDA to receive a sufficiently strong signal. Try moving it closer. A Note Regarding Wireless Performance: Like all wireless devices, your SurroundBar SDA 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 SDA speaker and the subwoofer. It is also possible that your SurroundBar SDA IHT system may affect other wireless systems. For the most part, you can avoid wireless performance problems by physically separating these devices from your SurroundBar SDA IHT system. Maintaining a distance of several feet or more between your SurroundBar SDA 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 SDA IHT system and the microwave oven.
