Interference from other wireless devices operating in the 2.4 GHz band can cause the rear speakers of the Polk Mono DSB1 to go in and out. Physical proximity to other wireless devices, including microwaves, may disrupt the connection. To prevent this, increase the distance between the soundbar and other wireless devices.

The Polk Mono DSB1 sound bar may not sync with other speakers and could turn off due to RF interference from devices operating in the 2.4GHz band, such as Wi-Fi systems, cordless telephones, Bluetooth devices, and baby monitors. To prevent interference, maintain a physical distance of several feet between the sound bar and other wireless devices. Additionally, ensure the subwoofer is properly plugged in and that both the sound bar and subwoofer LEDs shine solid green, indicating a successful sync.
