Voice-optimizing Wireless
Sound Bar System

The Omni SB1 with Polk VoiceAdjust™ Technology is a
voice-optimizing 3.1 sound bar system that creates a broad,
enveloping soundstage for movies, music and more. The SB1’s
VoiceAdjust Technology utilizes the optimized 3-speaker array with
controllable voice channel level to reproduce clear, crisp dialogue.
The included 8" wireless subwoofer gives the SB1 system a rich
bottom end while eliminating the clutter of wires.

Music and Movie Immersion Modes enable you to tailor the bar’s
sound field for a more immersive listening experience. Polk’s
exclusive Full Complement Bass Technology lets the bar reproduce
its lowest range easily, creating a warm, bass-rich timbre at lower
distortion and higher volumes.

SmartBar™ enables your sound bar to learn your TV’s original IR
remote control commands so you can control your soundbar with
your TV remote. (Backup remote included.) Dolby Digital decoding
includes Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0.

System Requirements
It all begins by building a wireless home network, preferably one
with a high-speed Internet connection. Here’s what you’ll need to
connect your SB1 to your network:

• A Wireless Network connected to the internet with an 802.11g
router or better*.

• An Android device with version 2.2 operating system or newer
OR an iOS device with version 6.0 operating system or newer.

• The password for your wireless network (if required).

*Router type is usually listed on the router, itself. Please call the Polk Preferred
Services @ 1-800-638-7276 for further questions related to router type

.

For The Best DTS Play-Fi Experience
To ensure your system is operating under the best environment
possible, here are a few additional tips:

• For the fastest streaming performance, especially when
connecting to multiple speakers simultaneously, an 802.11n
router or better is recommended.

• Ensure the DTS Play-Fi device is within wireless reach of your
router, or that the signal is not hindered by concrete, brick, or
other dense walls. The quality of your connection can be
observed in the Polk Omni App by the Wireless Strength icon.

Hooking Up the SB1 to your TV

Getting Started

Your Home Network

OPT IN

TV OPT OUT

In general, Wi-Fi is the wireless streaming of data over a network.
Here, Wi-Fi audio is the streaming of music throughout a home
network by connecting multiple speakers and/or devices together.
The controller for the Polk Omni Collection is the Polk Omni App,
which sends music information to each DTS Play-Fi enabled
speaker or device.

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 from your TV to the optical input
on the back of the SB1 bar. This connection will provide the highest
quality audio regardless of whether you are watching TV or 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
directly to the optical input on the SB1 bar.

IR Remote Learning

Set Up Your TV’s IR Remote Control For SmartBar™ Learning

Note: For your sound bar to respond to your remote control, you

MUST FIRST program the bar to respond to your television’s original
IR (Infra-Red) remote. An RF (Radio Frequency) remote will not work.
Other remotes (cable, satellite) will work only after you have
programmed the bar to respond to the TV’s IR remote.

Programming Instructions:

Your sound bar is currently programmed to respond to the remote
control that is included with the product. However, we strongly
recommend programming the sound bar to also respond to your
existing remote control using the steps illustrated below. This will
enable you to operate all of your components using a single remote
control. While programming the sound bar, ignore anything that may
be displayed on the TV screen.

Example: To teach your bar the “Volume Up” command of your
remote control.

1. The Sound Bar is turned on and the LED is dim red, and
you have sound coming from the bar.

2. Press and hold the “SOURCE/LEARN” button (on either
the bar or the included remote) for 5 seconds. LEDs 3, 5,
7, 9, 11 pulse.

3. Press and release “Volume Up” button on the SB1’s
included remote.

4. Hold your TV’s remote 6" - 1' from the sound bar.

5. Press the “Volume Up” button on your TV’s IR remote
control once.

6. LEARN LEDs 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 turn solid; the command
has been learned. Two chimes confirm the command has
been learned.

Repeat steps 1-6 to program “Volume Down”( – ), Source, Mute
and Power buttons.

Important note to save your tv’s ir remote commands:
After you’ve programmed all of the commands on your TV’s remote
control, press and hold the “Source/Learn” button for 5 seconds.
This saves all of the commands.

Note: If your bar fails to learn certain IR remote codes, the
power LED will blink red three times. Try erasing any previously
programmed codes (see below) and carefully repeat steps
1-6 above.

Code Erasing Procedure:
If you have programmed your Sound bar to respond to a remote
control and you no longer want it to do so, erase the codes by
pressing the “Source/Learn” button for 10 seconds. Previously
learned codes have been successfully erased when the POWER
LED flashes green ten times.

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 six steps in the sequence
previously described to redo any previous programming.
The Sound bar will continue to respond to the provided credit
card remote control.

Connecting Your SB1

Wi-Fi Setup

1. To ensure the easiest setup, place your SB1 near your
internet-connected wireless router. Note, when setup is
complete, you can move your device anywhere you want to.

2. Connect the included power cable to the SB1 and a power
outlet. The device will power on automatically.

3. The white light on the back will blink quickly for about
20 seconds, after which it will begin to pulse slowly.

4. The slowly pulsing light means your device is ready to
connect to your Wi-Fi network.

not pulsing slowly, Press and hold the Wi-Fi setup button
(for 8 seconds), until you hear the second tone.

5. Download the Polk Omni App from the Apple App Store or
Google Play Store.

6. Launch the app and follow the instructions.

Note: to enable Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) mode with
a WPS compatible router, press and hold the Wi-Fi button
on the SB1 for 4 seconds or until the first beep. Now push
the WPS button on your wireless router. The SB1 will
automatically connect to your network without the need
to enter your password.

Note: if the Wi-Fi LED is

Utility App

Wired Ethernet Connection

A hard-wired Ethernet connection can provide a faster transfer rate
than a wireless connection. While Polk Omni Collection products
do not have a dedicated Ethernet port, they do have a USB Port.
Using an Ethernet adapter for a USB cable, you can connect your
products directly to your router.

Connecting the Subwoofer

The SB1 Sound Bar and wireless subwoofer are preset at the factory
to work together. As such, the SB1 subwoofer automatically receives
the wireless signal from the bar. All you need to do is make sure the
subwoofer is plugged in and the main power switched to ON.

Note: 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 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.

Android device instructions

1. Launch the Polk Omni app.

2. The app will automatically find your device and prompt you

Working with NAS Drives, PCs, and Mac Devices

The Polk Omni App is capable of recognizing any Media Server
or NAS drive that is broadcasting over your home network and
that’s configured for open access using the DLNA protocol. Using
the DTS Play-Fi Windows app, the Polk Omni Collection products
will play any file capable of being played by the Windows operating
system, including all music services. See “Downloading the DTS
Play-Fi PC App” above to learn more.

Because OSX devices don’t support DLNA, a third party software
(ex. Twonky, Plex or Servio) must be downloaded for them to be
visible to the network. Once downloaded, all locally stored content
on OSX-based devices will show up within the Polk Omni App
under “Media Server.”

Playing Music

Now that you’re connected, open the Polk Omni app to begin
playing music. To begin playing music, start by selecting the
preferred music source. The next step is to select the device(s)
from which you want to hear the music. When done, click “Next.”
You can now select the music you want to play.

Music choices to select from include:

Your personal music library- hear all the music
stored on your phone, tablet or computer through
your Polk Omni products and all throughout your home.

Internet Radio- Enjoy radio stations from around the
world, in virtually any genre, and all of it free. Internet
Radio has 37,000 stations with popular brands like
Disney, BBC, NPR, Fox News Radio, Wall Street
Journal Radio and more.

Online music services- Stream the most popular
online music services including Pandora and Songza.

www.polkaudio.com. Services like KKBox, QQMusic

and Deezer are available internationally in select countries.

Adding another speaker or component

Adding to your Polk Omni Collection is easy

The Omni Collection makes creating a whole house wireless
music system as simple as pushing a button or two. Add more
S2 speakers, a sound bar, an amp or adapter to an existing
audio system.

• From the Omni App home page, choose “Settings.”

• From the “Settings” screen, choose “Add DTS Play-Fi Device.”

• Follow the app’s instructions to add the device to your list.

Primary vs. Secondary Speakers

Once inside the Polk Omni app, you will notice that when
sending music to your devices, they are grouped into primary
and secondary zones. The DTS Play-Fi software requires that a
primary speaker be selected to create a new listening session or
zone. This is designed to maximize synchronization down to one
millisecond thereby eliminating any sound echo that can be found
from other ecosystems.

Our recommendation for your listening environment is to always
select as your primary device the DTS Play-Fi enabled product
with the strongest signal strength. Note, however, that secondary
speakers are connected to your primary speaker. As such,
if you disable your primary speaker, any secondary speakers
will likewise be temporarily disabled until a primary speakers is
once again selected.

installation configurations), up to 256 devices can be theoretically
supported. Call the Polk Preferred Services @ 1-800-638-7276
for more information.

1. www.polkaudio.com 7

Dual-Band Capabilities

The Polk Omni Collection products all have “dual-band” capabilities.
The most standard wireless band – 2.4 GHz – can often times be
congested and slow, especially in environments where you have
many routers sending wireless signals (ex. mixed-use developments
like apartment buildings). In these instances, the Omni Collection
can also jump onto the 5 GHz band.

DTS Play-Fi Accepted File Formats:

• mp3 (MPEG Layer III)

• m4a and aac (Advanced Audio Coding)

• flac (Free Lossless Audio Codec)

• wav (Waveform Audio File)

File Quality:

• Lossless file reproduction up to 16-bit/48kHz
(CD Quality) and proper file handling for full compatibility
with all high-resolution music up to 24bit/192k.

• Plays all format bitrates [kbps]. DTS Play-Fi transmits
high-resolution files, but it does down-sample them so that
they can be distributed throughout a home.

Software Updates

In the spirit of improving the performance and functionality of
your system, software updates will be required from time to time.
To download those updates, we highly encourage you to register
your Polk product during the setup process. On the home page
of the app, scroll down to “Preferred Services” and follow the
listed instructions.

The sound coming from the bar is distorted.

• Try turning down the volume of your audio source, if possible.

• Audio processing—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). 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.

Basic Troubleshooting

Under “Settings” on the Omni App home page, you will find a
category called Troubleshooting. This link will take you to the DTS
Play-Fi Knowledge Base https://Play-Fi.com/faq?/support. Note
that quite often an issue can be traced back to router or network
performance. As always, for help answering any of your questions,
please call the Polk Preferred Services @ 1-800-638-7276.

Important Note: Router speeds and ranges that a manufacturer
lists are determined under ideal operating conditions. A router’s
signal can be affected by walls and their construction materials.

Troubleshooting FAQs

The bar does not power on.

• 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.

No sound from the bar.

• 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.

The volume of my television speakers gets louder than my
Sound bar system over time.

• Turn off your TV speakers per the instructions on page 4 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.
