We recommend using two-conductor 16 gauge or thicker speaker wire. Strip 1/2 inch (12.7mm) of insulation from each of the two conductors
to expose the bare metal and twist each of the individual conductors into single unfrayed strands. Note that one of the terminals on the rear of
each speaker is red (+) and the other is black (–). Make certain that you connect the wire from the red (+) terminal of your amplifier or receiver
to the red (+) terminal on your speaker and the wire from the black (–) terminal of your amplifier or receiver to the black (–) terminal on your
speaker. Most wire has some indicator (such as color-coding, ribbing or writing) on one of the two conductors to help you maintain consistency.
If your speakers sound “thin,” with little bass and little or no center image, chances are that one of the speaker wires is connected backwards.
Double-check all connections.
U S I N G P U S H - T A B A N D 5 - W A Y B I N D I N G P O S T S
To connect wire to the push-tab connectors, push the plastic tab of one connector to open the hole. Insert the bare wire into the hole and
release the plastic tab (Figure 6). Repeat this step with the other connectors.
To connect wire using the binding posts (Figure 7), unscrew the hex nut and insert the bare wire into the hole near the base of the binding
post. Do not insert the insulated part of the wire into the hole as this will not give you a good connection. Twist the hex nut back down the
binding post until it firmly meets the wire. Do not overtighten.
To Use Banana Plugs (US only): Carefully pry out the Binding Post Plugs (plastic plugs on the end of the binding posts) to expose Banana
Plug holes. Insert Banana Plugs. (This is for US owners only.)

The versatile RM7000 Series loudspeaker systems give you many hook-up options. The option that is best for you depends on your electronics
and your personal taste. Here are the hookups we recommend for each system. (You may want to experiment to see what works best for you.)
A N I M P O R T A N T N O T E A B O U T S U B W O O F E R H O O K U P
For best sound, DO NOT USE THE “SUBWOOFER OUTPUT” OR LFE JACK ON YOUR RECEIVER TO CONNECT THE SUBWOOFER. The RM7200 and
RM7600 Systems both feature a powered subwoofer that has a built-in, adjustable low pass filter to separate the low frequency signals (the bass)
from the full range signal. The dedicated “subwoofer output” jacks (sometimes labeled “LFE” or “Low Frequency Effects”) on most receivers also
contain a fixed low pass filter. If you connect the subwoofer to the receiver’s LFE Out jack, the two filters will interact and reduce the fidelity of
your system. Follow the hook up and receiver set-up/bass management instructions below and all of the bass will go to the subwoofer, you will
not lose any bass, and you will get the highest possible performance from your system. We promise.

All surround receivers allow you to “customize” their performance depending on the size of your speakers. Refer to the owner’s manual of your
receiver or surround processor to learn how this is done. To get the best performance from your RM7000 Series Home Theater Systems, use the
following settings with the above hook-up methods:
Front speakers—set to “large”
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Center speaker—set to “normal” or “small”
Surround speakers—set to “small”
Subwoofer—set to “OFF” or “none.” (We know; doesn’t make sense, right? Both your RM7200 and RM7600 have subwoofers. But really truly,
this is the correct setting for the recommended Speaker Wire and Line Level hookup methods. In the Speaker Wire Hookup, setting the front
left and right speakers to “Large” and routing them through the subwoofer’s low pass filter delivers a full range signal to the subwoofer’s
low pass filter. The low pass filter takes the low frequencies and passes the rest on to the front speakers, for perfect sub/sat blending. In the
Line Level Hookup, setting the front left and right speakers to “Large” and choosing subwoofer “OFF” directs all the bass and LFE channel
information to the subwoofer via the left and right pre-amp outputs.)

All five satellites of both the RM7200 and RM7600 Systems have integrated wall-mounting brackets built onto the rear of each speaker. On-wall
installation of these RM speakers requires basic skills and basic tools (drill and screwdriver). If you are in doubt that you possess the necessary
skills or tools, consult your Polk dealer or a professional installer. Otherwise, follow the steps below to safely secure the speakers to the location
of your choice.
Make sure the material on which you plan to mount the speakers (plaster, drywall, paneling, stone, etc.) can support the weight of the
ƒ
speakers (See product weight specifications on page 14).
Make sure the locations you select do not conceal electrical wiring or plumbing.
ƒ
ƒ
Prior to installation, hold the speaker in the chosen location to make sure it safely clears obstacles such as ceiling, adjacent walls, corners,
beams, lighting fixtures and door/window frames.
Using the keyhole slots in the bracket template (included), mark the installation location of the keyhole slots with a pencil (Figure 10).
Orient the template so that the small ends of the keyhole slots are facing “up” according to the direction of installation.
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
If you are certain that there is a stud behind the wall surface, drive #10 screws (not included) through the wall and into the stud
(Figure 11a).
If there is no stud behind the wall at the chosen location, install #10 wall anchors (not supplied) into the wall by following the
wall-anchor-manufacturer’s instructions (Figure 11b).
For masonry walls, use a masonry drill bit and #10 masonry anchor and screw (not included).
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Tighten screws into stud or wall anchors, leaving screw heads protruding 1/16" (1.6mm).
Line up the keyhole slots on the bracket so that the screw heads pass through the large center hole of the slots.
Let the speaker slide straight down, allowing the screw head to slip behind the smaller end of the keyhole slot (Figure 12).
Tug gently on the speaker to make certain that the screws and bracket are properly aligned and that the wall anchors are secure.
If the bracket is not held snug against the wall by the screw heads, remove the speaker from the wall, drive the screws in a little further
and then remount the speaker.

The RM7200 Powered Subwoofer offers a range of setting options. We recommend the following settings as starting points, but the settings that
are best for you depend upon your speaker placement, electronics and personal taste. After you’ve become familiar with what the settings do,
experiment with alternate options to find the method that works best for your system setup.
You’ll find an informative article on “Subwoofer Positioning and Adjustment”
R M 7 2 0 0 A C P O W E R (Figure 13)
The RM7200 Powered Subwoofer has a built-in power amplifier and must be plugged into a standard household AC power source in order
to operate. The power switch has three positions: “On,” “Off” and “Auto” (Figure 13). When the Powered Subwoofer is plugged in (even with
the power switch in the “off” position) the power light will glow RED. In the “Auto” position, the amplifier will automatically turn on as soon
as the speaker senses a signal coming from your electronics. The power light will change from RED to GREEN upon sensing a signal. The
subwoofer will turn off approximately 15 minutes after input signal ceases, and the power light will return to RED. In the “On” position,
the power amplifier will operate and the power light will glow GREEN until the switch is set to the “Off” position or the AC cord is
disconnected from a power source. We recommend using the “Auto” position. Turn it to “Off” if the system will not be used for extended
periods of time, such as during vacations.
R M 7 2 0 0 S U B W O O F E R L E V E L C O N T R O L (Volume)
Subwoofer level (volume) is adjusted via the knob on the rear amplifier plate. To set Subwoofer Level, play a piece of music that has an
average amount of bass content. Start with the knob set to “5” and the Phase Switch set to 0. Adjust by ear using a wide variety of CDs
and video sources. Adjust for deep, powerful bass without “boominess.”

This control adjusts the frequency range over which the subwoofer operates. With the RM7200, the upper range of this control will yield the
best results. Experiment and let your ears be the final judge. If male vocals sound “thin,” turn this control up until the voice sounds rich but
not boomy. If male vocals sound too “thick” or “chesty,” turn this control down until the voice sounds natural.

Mounting your right and left front satellites on the wall tends to increase their low-midrange response (the low range of a male voice).
Mounting them on stands away from the sides of the room tends to decrease their low-midrange response. If you mount the satellites on
the wall, we recommend setting your variable crossover control (see Figure 13) at a lower setting (Figure 15a). If you mount the satellites
on stands, we recommend setting your variable crossover control at a higher setting (Figure 15b).
Turning the knob up from the recommended setting (Figure 15a or 15b) will add more “warmth” to the bass and lower midrange, possibly
at the sacrifice of bass “tightness” and midrange clarity. Turning the knob down from the recommended setting will make the bass and lower
midrange sound “thinner.”
R M 7 2 0 0 P H A S E S W I T C H
Changing the phase of your subwoofer can strengthen its bass “attack.” If the bass sounds muddy or unclear, try toggling the phase control.
Have someone else switch between the two settings while you sit in your favorite listening position. Use music with good bass (preferably
“plucked” string bass) and a deep male vocal. When you hear the best balance of deep bass and natural lower octaves of the male voice, you
have achieved optimum phase tuning.

The RM7600 Powered Subwoofer has a built-in power amplifier and must be plugged into a standard household AC power source in order to
operate. The power switch has three positions: “On,” “Off” and “Auto” (Figure 14). The Powered Subwoofer also has a small GREEN light under
the Level Control Pod on the subwoofer’s front face. This light is not illuminated when the Subwoofer power switch is in the “Off” position. In
the “Auto” position, the amplifier will automatically turn on as soon as the speaker senses a signal coming from your electronics. The power
light will glow GREEN upon sensing a signal. The subwoofer will turn off approximately 15 minutes after input signal ceases, and the power
light will go off. In the “On” position, the power amplifier will operate and the power light will glow GREEN until the switch is set to the “Off”
position or the AC cord is disconnected from a power source. We recommend using the “Auto” position. Turn it to “Off” if the system will not

Subwoofer level (volume) is adjusted via the knob on the front of the subwoofer under the logo pod. This lets you adjust the level of bass easily
after you have made the more complex adjustments on the rear of the Subwoofer. To set level, play a piece of music that has an average amount
of bass content. Start with the knob set to “5” and the Phase Switch set to 0. Adjust by ear using a wide variety of CDs and video sources. Adjust

In most cases, this switch should be set to “0.” If you have hooked up the subwoofers from a subwoofer output or pre-out jacks and cannot get
enough bass output even with the subwoofer level control turned all the way up, switch to the +3dB position. In typical systems where the 3dB
boost is not needed, this switch can be useful for providing a quick boost for bass-shy program material. Most people prefer more bass output
for movies than music so you can use this switch as a handy way to adjust bass levels as you switch between movie and music sources.
Q . “ W H Y D O E S M Y S Y S T E M H U M ? ”
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T KNOW THE WORDS.
This is what passes for humor in the audio business. Here’s the real answer: If you have any electrical
(50/60Hz) hum in your system you’re going to hear it clearly as soon as you hook up your subwoofer.
Most hum problems are caused by “ground loops.” That is, the electrical grounds of the components
in your system are not at the same electrical potential. A very common ground loop source is cable
TV. Disconnect the coaxial cable from your TV and/or VCR. If the hum goes away, the cable is the
ground loop villain. In that case you need a 75 ohm ground loop isolator. This device attaches to
your coaxial cable where it plugs into your VCR (or television). They’re simple to install and usually
solve the hum problem. Find 75 ohm ground loop isolators at your audio dealer, Radio Shack stores,
Ground loops and hum can also be the result of faulty electrical wiring in your home. Consult a
licensed electrician to evaluate and, if necessary, repair the AC wiring in your home. Light dimmers
also tend to introduce noise into audio systems. Remove them.

Your Polk Audio loudspeakers are made with the highest-quality materials to ensure years of great sounding, trouble-free performance. However,
damage to loudspeakers can occur when an amplifier, regardless of its wattage, is made to play at higher listening levels that its power can clear-
ly produce. (This is usually beyond the “1 to 2 o’clock” position on the volume control.) This results in very high levels of audible distortion
originating in the amplifier, which adds a harsh, gritty sound to the music you’re listening to. Contrary to popular belief, a speaker is more
likely to be damaged by trying to get too much volume from a low-powered amp or receiver (than from a high-powered one).
