FIRST THINGS FIRST
Caution: Subwoofers are heavy. Exercise caution when unpacking your subwoofer.
Take Inventory
1 Subwoofer
1 Remote Control
1 Owner’s Manual
1 Power Cord
1 Registration Card
4 Rubber Foot Inserts
Please inspect your subwoofer carefully. Notify your Polk Audio dealer if you notice
any damage or missing items. Keep the carton and packing material. It will do the
best job of protecting your subwoofer if it needs to be transported.
Your system includes a detachable power cord that’s packaged separately from
the subwoofer. Insert the female end into the receptacle on the amplifier plate and
insert the AC plug into a wall outlet (or power strip) as per the safety instructions
found on the inside cover of this manual. We do not recommend connecting
the subwoofer’s AC power cord to your receiver’s switched outlet.
Feet/Carpet Spikes
DSW
PRO Series subwoofers have removable feet. Each foot’s shaft is also a
carpet spike, which allows you to place your subwoofer on a carpeted floor.
To remove the conical feet from the carpet spike, grasp a foot firmly and turn
the foot clockwise while pulling up. Three complete turns should raise the foot
enough to allow you to place your fingertips under the foot and pull it off the spike.
PLACING YOUR SUBWOOFER IN A CABINET
DSWPROSeries subwoofers have removable feet, allowing you to place
the subwoofer in a cabinet, thereby reorienting the subwoofer’s driver
so that it faces into your listening room.
PLACING YOUR SUBWOOFER IN A ROOM
Your DSWPRO Series subwoofer is magnetically shielded for placement near video
monitors. (LCD, DLP and Plasma televisions are not affected by magnetism.) Allow
at least 18" (46cm) of space between your subwoofer and any tube television, but
if you do notice video distortion or discoloration, immediately move the subwoofer
away from the TV.
The Polk Room Optimizer (PRO™) feature lets you place your subwoofer anywhere in
the room without compromising performance. When placing your subwoofer in the
room, always place your subwoofer on its base, feet side down. If you can avoid
it, do not place your subwoofer next to an open door.
18" - 24"
(46cm - 61cm)
OK
Note: The remote control may not operate when the subwoofer is placed
in a cabinet with the driver facing into the room. If this occurs, adding an IR
repeater will enable the remote control to communicate with the subwoofer.

AC POWER CONNECTION AND AUTO ON/OFF
Dual Voltage Switch
DSWPRO Series subwoofers are equipped with either a dual
voltage switch or an auto sensor.

DSWPRO500 Selectable
DSWPRO600 Selectable
WARNING: The correct voltage for your country has been set
at the factory. Only use the voltage setting specified for your
country. Using an improper setting may damage your subwoofer.
Main Power Switch
Turn power on/off via the AC MAIN switch.
Standby/Auto/On Switch
Your DSW
your subwoofer’s operational mode. The three modes are: Standby, Auto and On.
PRO Series subwoofer uses a 3-position power switch, which selects
Standby
With the switch in this position, the subwoofer will only turn on (become active)
when the user presses the power button on the remote control. Once active the
subwoofer will remain on regardless of whether an audio signal is present.
Auto
In the “Auto” position, your subwoofer automatically turns on when it senses
an audio signal and the LED located on the back of the subwoofer will be green.
We recommend the “Auto” mode if your subwoofer is always receiving
power (i.e., if it's plugged into a wall outlet). When no signal is present, the sub-
woofer will enter a “waiting” state after 15 minutes and the LED will turn yellow.
On
The subwoofer is always on and fully active in this mode. The LED on the back
of the subwoofer will be green. This mode is best if the subwoofer is plugged
into a switched power outlet. The remote control cannot be used to turn off
the subwoofer.
Note: You may want to leave your subwoofer unplugged or the AC MAIN
switch turned off during extended periods of non use, such as during a vacation.
Power Mode LED Colors and Their Meaning:
