Adding Adhesive-Backed Rubber Feet To keep your Polk speakers firmly in place and prevent damage to floors or furniture, it's a smart idea to attach the included adhesive-backed rubber feet to the bottom of your speaker.
CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKERS

How to Connect Your System To get the best sound quality, it's important to wire your speakers correctly.
How to Use Binding Post Connectors Loosen hex nut and insert bare speaker wire through hole. Tighten hex nut down to make connection.
Note: Do not insert insulated section of wire into hole (you will not get a connection).

Rubber Feet

BOOKSHELF SPEAKERS
Note: · XT15 / XT20 / XT30 / XT35: You must install the rubber feet
before using the product. · XT60 / XT70 / XT90: Rubber feet come pre-installed.

Basic Speaker Hookup
Make sure that the red (+) and black (-) connectors on your amplifier or receiver connect to the red (+) and black (-) connectors on your speakers. If your speakers sound "thin," with little bass and little or no center image, odds are that one of the speaker wires is connected backwards. Double check all connections.

RIGHT FRONT

Processor Mode for Center Channel Speaker Note: Set Center Channel Speaker to "small" in your receiver's Bass Management Settings.
The "bass management" or "speaker configuration" menus of most surround receivers offer the choice of "normal" or "wide" modes for center channel operation. In discrete channel digital processors, these modes are referred to as "small" and "large." Normal (small) mode filters bass frequencies from the center channel speaker and sends them instead to the front left and right main speakers or to the subwoofer output (LFE) jack. Wide (large) mode sends an unfiltered, full-range signal to the center channel speaker. Use the Small (normal) mode for optimum center (and surround) channel performance and reliability.

OWNER'S MANUAL

Speaker Positioning
To maximize the sound quality of your speaker system-- whether you've purchased XT15 bookshelf speakers, an XT30 center channel speaker, or XT70 tower speakers--correct placement is everything. Take a look at the following examples and give them a try based on the Polk Monitor XT Series speakers you've purchased.
Note: Your Polk Monitor XT Series speakers are compatible with 2.0, 2.1, 3.1, 5.1, 7.1 and 9.1 setups (optional subwoofer shown in graphics).
Listening in 5.1 Surround You can use the Polk Monitor XT Series speakers as rear surround speakers in a Polk Audio home theater system. Ideal rear channel surround speaker placement is on a side wall, slightly behind and above the listening position.

Listening in 3.1 System Get the most realistic stereo image by placing speakers as far apart as the listeners are sitting from them. If room conditions require that you place the speakers farther apart, you may choose to angle the speakers toward the middle to support a more solid center image.
Listening in 5.1 Surround--alternate option Alternate rear channel surround speaker placement for Polk Monitor XT Series speakers. If you cannot place rear surrounds on the side walls, position them on the rear wall above the listening position.
