1. Where is the on/off located on the subwoofer {Volume is on treble speaker, correct}? 2. Please confirm total height of treble speakers. Thanks!

The on/off is on the back, near the plug connection. The approximate height of the satellite speakers is 5". I use a dollar bill (exactly 6"), and it is about an inch lower.

On/Off is in the sub-woofer. Trebble speakers are about 5" height. Overall a very good speaker for music and gaming. A little colorful on the bass side what I like anyway. Not for someone who wants a flat curve of response.

To be honnest they are really really shorts... I've a dual monitor with 1 27" and 1 21". One speaker on extreme left and the other one on extreme right. The sub is under my desk. Cords were not long enought and are proprietary plugs. It looks like PS/2 cable but the sound was awfull with a simple PS/2 cable. I finally cuted the cable of the left speaker and I added some lenght with an alarm cable like this one http://www.china-cablewires.com/images/products/2012031913334607979324w1000h1000uzjaomei/fire-alarm-cables-shielded.jpg But dont forget that you'll void warranty doing that. And another point, the sound is good BUT there's a constant background noise, so I'm not really happy with that...

Dear AR... I assume you are replying to the other's guy's post. I have a single RCA input on my subwoofer (as well as the alternative four speaker wire posts) and a single subwoofer RCA output on my Sony Receiver. The receiver works and the subwoofer works with the speaker wire connections. The subwoofer has an on and off switch so it must be powered. The subwoofer hums when I touch my finger to the unplugged end of the cable. So why doesn't the RCA connection work when plugged into the receiver?? What am I missing?

I believe it is down firing. I found that the subwoofer needs to be near the soundbar- I tried putting it behind my couch and it just sounded weird. I have it right below the TV and it sounds much better there.

Are you sure it isn't the subwoofer? It stays on all the time even when the system is turned off and produces a low level hum, constantly. That seems to be the norm for all the subs and the Onkyo receivers. I was surprised to walk into my media room and hear the hum coming from the sub and the system was turned off. Sub is always in stand by. Just a thought.

There are settings that can diminish the subwoofer effect but turn it off completely,no.The subwoofer has a subtle effect to begin with,don't let that be a sticking point preventing you from purchasing an excellent soundbar.

The volume control is on the left speaker. That's where the on off button is also. These work beautifully -you can turn the volume down on the tv and still have control over the volume on your speakers.

The subwoofer should always be on regardless of the surround mode, and the source material. However, it is possible turn the sub off and I think that setting applies to different sources. Check CH LEVEL on remote. If it's not there, you might have to hunt through the menus. Good luck with that.

Hey everyone,I just purchased this system and wanted to jump in. I'm using the Sony STR-DG820 as my receiver and have SS-B1000 bookshelf speakers as my fronts. I bought this system to use as the remainder of a 7.1 channel setup. Polk seemed to recommend the setup that Schor talked about when using their satellites in the package as front speakers. Would anyone recommend this setup with the larger bookshelf speakers or would using the sub-out on the receiver be better? Any thoughts? Thanks

I agree with Michael Lex. If you take the covers off there is one speaker up high and the other side it is lower. I have mine set with the Polk logo towards inside. High speaker more in and low side more facing out

OK..months later, I finally got my two outside speakers working. I was given the right advice but did not understand a few things... specifically that I did not have to fool around with Speaker Pattern. The menu progression using the remote is as follows: Amp Menu>Speaker>SB Assign>Spk B>Return/Exit. Then on the front left of the Tuner you press the Speakerbutton until SP B lights up........When finished I think you have to got back to the AMP Menu and do Speaker>SB Assign>Off>Return/Exit

I want to know why I can't get the sub-woofer to work.It stays on stand-by mode.It works when I run the set-up mode,but after that it goes back into stand-by mode.What's wrong?

I power it on separately. Maybe there is another way to interface them, but haven't discovered it yet. The subwoofer is also separate power, but I guess you could leave it on. I have forgotten to turn it off a couple times with no issues.

I have mine set at 60,0" phase and ~100hz on bypass and I've had no problems. What amp are you using to drive it? I listen to lots of heavy bass music and can easily drive myself out of the room if I crank my amp so the question is--? what do you want to do the heavy lifting. The amp or the sub?

The subwoofer is a speaker that points to the ground. It's purpose is to provide non-directional bass sound. It gives you that "thud" when there are explosions for example. The subwoofer only reaches its full potential by being placed on the ground in it's correct position. If you put it on a shelf more than likely you are going to get a rattling sound due to the vibration (unless the furniture is really sturdy). And I would not recommend placing it on it's side at all. It wasn't designed to be operated like that.
