FIRST THINGS FIRST
Caution: Subwoofers are heavy. Exercise caution when unpacking your subwoofer.
Please check to ensure you have everything in your Polk Audio
PSWi225 Wireless Subwoofer carton. Inside, you should find:
Take Inventory
• PSWi225 Wireless Subwoofer
• Transmitter
• 5' RCA Cable
• Power Supply For Transmitter
• Owners Manual
• Transmitter Wall Mount Template
• Online Registration Card
If anything is missing or damaged, or if your Polk Audio
PSWi225 fails to operate, please notify your dealer immediately.
We recommend keeping your original carton and packing
materials in case you need to ship the unit in the future.
WHERE TO LOCATE YOUR WIRELESS
SUBWOOFER FOR THE BEST SOUND
The PSWi225 Wireless subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the room, up to 30'
(10 meters) from its transmitter. Your Wireless Subwoofer is really easy to place
and can go just about anywhere in the room. Plus you don’t have to worry about
connecting wires, because the only wire you have to plug in is the power cord
to an AC outlet and the transmitter wires to your receiver or pre-amp.
Note: Placing your subwoofer in a corner of your room will reinforce
the subwoofer’s output, making it sound louder.
We do recommend placing your subwoofer in different locations
within your room to learn what produces the best sound quality
based upon your listening preferences.

HOW TO CONNECT YOUR WIRELESS SUBWOOFER
Wireless ID Switches—The Wireless ID Switches, found on both the
subwoofer and the transmitter, select the channel for the wireless signal.
The switch settings change the frequency of the wireless signal the transmitter
sends to the Wireless Subwoofer. The Switch provides four possible settings
in the event there is interference from other devices in your home. The two
switches must be set to the same position for the subwoofer to receive
a signal.
Transmitter Inputs
Audio Inputs—Where you connect your transmitter to your receiver.
Use the 5' analog L/R or LFE audio cable provided.
Wireless ID Switch—Selects the “channel” for the Wireless
Subwoofer signal. Don’t forget to select the same “channel”
on the Wireless Subwoofer itself.
Power Connection—The transmitter power supply is connected here.
LED—Indicates transmitter is active.
Wireless Subwoofer Controls
Volume—Adjusts the volume of the Wireless Subwoofer.
Power Mode LED—Shines green when the Wireless Subwoofer
is on and red when it’s in standby mode or off.
Wireless ID Switch—Selects the “channel”
for the Wireless Subwoofer signal.
Power Switch—Turns the Wireless Subwoofer on and
off, but you can leave it on all the time if you wish.
Low Pass—Adjusts the frequency range over
which the subwoofer operates.
Phase Switch—See page 5.

AC POWER CONNECTION AND AUTO ON/OFF
Off/Auto/On Switch
Your PSWi225 Subwoofer uses a 3-position power switch, which
selects your subwoofer’s operational mode. The three modes are:
Off, Auto and On.
Off
With the switch in this position, the subwoofer is inactive.
Auto
In the “Auto” position, your subwoofer automatically turns on when it senses
an audio signal and the LED located on the back of the subwoofer will turn green.
We recommend the “Auto” mode if your subwoofer is always receiving
power (i.e., if it’s plugged into a wall outlet). When no signal is present, the
subwoofer will enter a “waiting” state after 15 minutes and the LED will turn red.
On
The subwoofer is always on and fully active in this mode. The LED on the back
of the subwoofer will be green. This mode is best if the subwoofer is plugged
into a switched power outlet.
Note: You may want to leave your subwoofer unplugged during extended
periods of non use, such as during a vacation.
CONNECTING THE SUBWOOFER TO
THE SYSTEM—HOOKUP OPTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: USE ONLY ONE OF THESE OPTIONS.
NEVER COMBINE HOOKUP OPTIONS.
OPTION #1 Receivers that include a “SUB OUT” feature—
the most common hookup method with Dolby Digital® and DTS®receivers.
Connect a single RCA cable from the “SUB OUT” of your receiver
to the LFE input of the transmitter.
Connect all other speakers directly to the receiver.
Adjust your receiver’s speaker configurations as follows:
Front Speakers = SMALL
Center and Surrounds = SMALL
Subwoofer = ON, YES, or PRESENT
Depending on your front speakers’ bass output capabilities, set the crossover
frequency on the receiver to 80Hz for tower and bookshelf speakers (speakers
with a woofer 5 1/4" in diameter or larger) and 100-120Hz for satellite speakers.
Consult your receiver’s owner’s manual for instructions.

OPTION #2 Receivers with full-range (unfiltered) left and right “PRE OUT”
jacks (this is the least commonly used hookup).
• Connect the left and right front preamp outputs to the left
and right inputs of the transmitter.
Adjust the settings on your receiver as follows:
Front Speakers = LARGE
Subwoofer = OFF or NO
ADJUSTING YOUR SUBWOOFER
Note: When you set up your subwoofer for the first time, you will probably have
to make adjustments several times before you hear what you personally like.
FINE TUNING YOUR SUBWOOFER
Volume: Adjust by ear using a wide variety of CDs and video sources.
Adjust for deep, powerful bass without “boominess.”
Low Pass Filter Control: NOTE: This control does not operate when
the subwoofer is connected with Option #1 (LFE Input). This control,
which is located on the back of the amplifier, adjusts the frequency range
over which the subwoofer operates. When using smaller main speakers
the upper range of the control will probably yield the best results. With
larger speakers the lower end of the control range will probably sound
best, but always let your ear 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.
Phase Switch: Playing music and sitting in your listening position,
carefully listen for the point at which the subwoofer transitions to
your main speakers. This is the crossover point, and this point should
be below the frequency of a male human voice. Whichever phase
setting sounds louder or fuller at the subwoofer’s crossover point
is the optimum setting. Sometimes no difference will be heard.

Like all wireless devices, your PSWi225 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 PSWi225. It is also possible that your PSWi225 may affect
other wireless systems. For the most part, you can avoid wire-
less performance problems by physically separating these
devices from your PSWi225. Maintaining a distance of several
feet or more between your PSWi225 speaker 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 PSWi225 and the microwave oven.
A Note Regarding Wireless Performance:
The two switches
must be set to the
same position for the
subwoofer to receive
a signal.
