Shelf mounted bar sits in front of TV
WHERE TO LOCA TE 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 LOCA TE 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.

HOW TO CONNECT YOUR SUBWOOFER
This is really easy too. Y ou 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.
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.
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.
SYNCING THE BAR AND WIRELESS SUBWOOFER
The SoundBar5500 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.
Note: Remove the
protective cap prior
to inserting cable.

BLUETOOTH®WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY
To use your Bluetooth wireless technology device
with the SoundBar5500, you must first pair your
device with your SoundBar.
Pairing creates the ability of your Bluetooth device to connect
with your SoundBar wirelessly. Pairing is like a handshake
between your Bluetooth device and your SoundBar5500
in which they meet and exchange information.
You only have to pair your SoundBar with your Bluetooth device
one time for this exchange of information to take place. After that
you simply select the “polk soundbar” from your
device list to make the connection to your SoundBar.
The SoundBar can hold 8 Bluetooth devices in its memory.
If enough devices pair after yours, your device could
be dropped from the memory list.
Pair and connect your Bluetooth device
with the SoundBar:
1. Make sure your Bluetooth device and SoundBar5500
are both powered on.
2. Activate the Bluetooth function on your Bluetooth source

HOW TO OPTIMIZE THE SOUND
WHEN TV SPEAKERS ARE ON
You should hear sound from the bar. If you don’t, turn up
the volume on the bar using its volume control buttons.
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.
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.
3. Next, look for an option to control audio functions
and select it.
The setting to turn off your TV’ s internal speakers should be here.
If you can’t turn off your TV internal speakers, don’t worry.
Your SoundBar5500 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:
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 SOUNDBAR5500” on page 10.)
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).
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.
After you make these adjustments, your SoundBar5500 should
always be louder than your TV speakers. Then use the
TV remote control to adjust the volume as you normally do.

FAQ’S (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)
My TV does not have an optical output.
How do I connect my audio?
You have several options for connecting your audio:
Use the optical output of your source unit (cable/satellite box,
DVD player, etc.) and connect directly to the SoundBar5500
using the supplied optical cable.
Use the 1/8" (3.5mm) analog / headphone output of your TV
(if available) and connect directly to the SoundBar5500
using the supplied 1/8" (3.5mm) to 1/8" (3.5mm) analog cable.
Use the RCA audio outputs (white/red pair) on your TV
(if available) and connect directly to the SoundBar5500
using the supplied 1/8" (3.5mm) to 1/8" (3.5mm) analog
cable and 1/8" (3.5mm) to RCA adapter .
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.
My audio sounds strange and distorted.
Your SoundBar5500 requires a clean, unaltered stereo
or Dolby Digital signal for proper audio performance. If the
sound from your SoundBar5500 is strange or distorted,
then check the audio menus of whatever source(s) are
connected to your SoundBar5500 and make sure
any audio processing is turned off.
Why can’t I successfully program the SoundBar5500
to respond to my remote control?
My SoundBar5500 was responding to commands,
but now it isn’t. What should I do?
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 SoundBar5500 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 SoundBar5500 will continue to respond
to the provided credit card remote control.
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.

A Note Regarding Wireless Performance:
Like all wireless devices, your SoundBar5500 may be susceptible
to RF interference from such sources as microwave ovens, Wi-Fi 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
SoundBar5500 speaker and the subwoofer. It is also possible that your
SoundBar5500 System may affect other wireless systems. For the
most part, you can avoid wireless performance problems by physically
separating these devices from your SoundBar5500 System. Maintaining a distance of several feet or more between your SoundBar5500 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 SoundBar5500 System and the microwave oven.
