1 General Information
1.1 Unpacking and Inventory
Please remove the entire system from the cartons and make sure you have
received all its component parts. POLAR comes in two cartons and consists
of a subwoofer, a columnar mid/high unit and a spacer. The mains cable is
also included.
1.2 The Components
The Subwoofer
The powered subwoofer houses the bass woofer, the system's electronic
components and the power amplifi ers. On the top panel is a signal-carrying,
plug-in port serving to connect the column's elements and a carrying
handle. Another handy grip routed into the front of the bottom panel lets
you comfortably carry the subwoofer with one or two hands. The integrated
control panel with the display, control features and connectors slopes
slightly toward the rear to protect the controls against damage. The bass
refl ex ports are located at the bottom of the
front panel. The power off /on switch and
mains socket are on the rear panel.
The Column
• The column consists of a mid/high unit and
a spacer.
• The spacer plugs into a signal-carrying
socket/coupler on the subwoofer. The mid/
high unit plugs into the spacer using the
same type of connector.
• This coupler provides a mechanical and
electrical connection between the mid/high
unit and spacer, so you do not need speaker
cables to connect the two.
1.3 Setting up the System
Connecting Components
• Place the subwoofer on a level, stable
surface.
• Connect the spacer and the mid/high unit to the subwoofer as described
in section 1.2 above.
• Make sure the components are fi rmly seated and connected to one
another.
• Plug the power cord into the rear mains power socket.
