FIGURE 1  
Most popular placement, above the TV screen. CSi Series Center Speakers are magnetically shielded for safe  
placement near TV or video monitors. If you notice video distortion or discoloration, immediately move the  
speakers away from the video source and call Polk Audio Customer Service 800-377-7655 (US and Canada)  
OR  
La ubicación más común es encima de la pantalla del televisor. Los altavoces centrales de la serie  
CSi tienen blindaje magnético para poder ubicarlos con seguridad cerca de monitores de televisión  
o de video. Si nota que hay distorsión o descoloración de la imagen, aleje inmediatamente los  
altavoces de la fuente de video y comuníquese con el servicio al cliente de Polk Audio: 410-358-3600.  
Disposition la plus courante, au-dessus de l’écran. Les enceintes de la série CSi sont blindées  
magnétiquement et peuvent être disposées à proximité d’une télé ou d’un moniteur vidéo.  
Si vous percevez de la distorsion ou de la décoloration vidéo, éloignez immédiatement les  
enceintes de l’écran et communiquez avec le service à la clientèle de Polk: 410-358-3600.  
Häufigste Platzierung – über dem Fernsehbildschirm. CSi-Mittenlautsprecher sind für eine Platzierung in  
der Nähe von Fernsehgeräten oder Videomonitoren magnetisch abgeschirmt. Wenn Sie eine Verzerrung  
oder Verfärbung des Videobildes bemerken, sind die Lautsprecher umgehend von der Videoquelle  
zu entfernen. Setzen Sie sich in diesem Fall mit dem Kundendienst von Polk Audio in Verbindung:  
410-358-3600.  
I diffusori acustici per canale centrale della linea CSi hanno altoparlanti con magneti schermati e si possono avvic-  
inare tranquillamente a televisori e monitor: la disposizione più diffusa è quella sopra al televisore. Se notate  
immagini distorte o alterazioni dei colori, allontanateli subito dal televisore e contattate il nostro Client Care Center:  
410-358-3600 o [email protected].
