A Note Regarding Wireless Performance
Like all wireless devices, your MagniFi Soundbar 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 sound bar and the subwoofer. It is also possible that your sound bar system may affect other wireless systems. For the most part, you can avoid wireless performance problems by physically separating these devices from your sound bar System. Maintaining a distance of several feet or more between your sound bar 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 sound bar system and the microwave oven.
WARNING: LISTEN CAREFULLY
Polk Audio loudspeakers and subwoofers are capable of playing at extremely high volume levels, which could cause serious or permanent hearing damage. Polk Audio, LLC accepts no liability for hearing loss, bodily injury or property damage resulting from the misuse of its products. Keep these guidelines in mind and always use your own good judgment when controlling volume:
- You should limit prolonged exposure to volumes that exceed 85 decibels(dB). Refer to the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) guidelines at: www.osha.gov/SLTC/noisehearingconservation/index.html
Troubleshooting
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 sound coming from the bar is distorted.
- Try turning down the volume of your audio source, if possible.
- Audio processing (see online manual)—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 (CR2032).
The bar won't learn my remote control commands.
- Carefully follow the programming instructions in the online 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.
The volume of my television speakers gets louder than my MagniFi Soundbar system over time.
- Turn off your TV speakers per the instructions in the online 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.
