Polk Audio MagniFi Mini

Can I get a replacement remote?

I do not see why not, Brian. The Polk Audio MagniFi Mini does have onboard Bluetooth to connect to a wide variety of source devices. Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the Polk Audio MagniFi Mini soundbar speaker system, just something to keep in mind. Most Bluetooth devices connect easily, and the Polk would be a great way to get great sound wirelessly from your turntable deck!

How do you connect with a FIOS box? Seems like the HDMI ARC is specifically for the speaker.

It looks like Amazon sells a replacement remote. I can't guarantee it will work but there are some out there.

[ ALAN Jan 30, 2022 ]

I would call the support line,im sure they can hook you up.

[ TROY Jan 30, 2022 ]

I don't know for sure, but I would think so. Both of these companies are top notch for customer service.

Every time I turn the TV on, or change the channel, the dialog is out of sync. I've adjusted the audio delay on the TV and I've toggled the source button on the speaker bar and the dialog will sync up. It only lasts until the TV is turned off or the channel changed. I get my TV signal through a Contour II cable box and the sound bar is connected to the TV via HDMI. Any ideas?

Use the HDMI arc connection from TV to the Polk. Fios box connects from TV to any other HDMI connection to TV. Then make sure your TV settings are set to HDMI ARC for sound out.

Can a fire stick remote control on/off and volume ?

As I continued to search through the settings menu, I set the audio signal to PCM. This solved the problem.

[ JACK Nov 12, 2021 ]

Unfortunately, l don't have a solution to the problem, just wanted to say I have had no issues and I am streaming and have a Roku Ultra. I think possibly you should focus on the cable box.

Can this subwoofer be placed on side need it for a Motorcoach and space is limited. It would be on carpet?

I'm not sure, but my Samsung TV remote won't control the volume. I have to use the Polk remote for that. The on/off is automatic with the TV remote though.

[ Susan Sep 13, 2021 ]

I'm not sure that it will control this device, but it does have Bluetooth and pairs easily. It is a great small system with great clarity. I bought one for my son at college. He loves it. It's not exactly room filling, but I would definitely purchase again.

[ WILLIAM Sep 11, 2021 ]

yes,but no tone controls only power and volume.

[ ANTHONY Sep 11, 2021 ]

[ Dawn Aug 02, 2021 ]

How would I connect this to a projector?

Back side of sub needs ventilation so I imagine you could but not sure what that would do to your sound. If I had to lay it on its side I would keep it elevated with rubber mounts on all four corners or a means to keep a space between the floor and the speaker

[ TROY A Aug 11, 2021 ]

I'm not sure it would work properly on its side. It's very sensitive to begin with. I had to move it a few times to get the best sound and I still get feedback sometimes.

[ Susan Aug 05, 2021 ]

Yes, by all means it can, but i would make sure that you place it so that the subwoofer fires in to an open area-remember the subwoofer fires into the floor with and 2 inch space from woofer to floor, firing into an open area will give you the lo sounds. Good luck

Can I use it as a speaker for my desktop computer?

or Bluetooth?

[ FRANK Oct 19, 2020 ]

does your projector have an auxiliary out, HDMI out or optical out port?

Yes you can

[ Bryan Jun 09, 2020 ]

Yes, it's Bluetooth equipment and shows up on our iPhones and iPads, sound by the way is great.

[ Robert Jun 07, 2020 ]

It would not be my first choice.

[ PATRICK C. Jun 06, 2020 ]

I don't see why not. As long as your computer has an hdmi output or optical audio output you could plug in. Or simply link using blue tooth. I only use a laptop and it would not have the proper outputs. I would definitely call a Crutchfield tech advisor and give them your computer setup info to be sure. By the way, It sounds great in my home gym! I have it hooked to my tv via hdmi and also use my phone to link it via Bluetooth to play Pandora and Apple Music.

[ Mark Jun 06, 2020 ]

Can I add other speakers to this system?

[ MICKEY Jan 03, 2020 ]

Can I add other speakers to this system?

I actually don't know the answer, but my initial thought is it stands alone as it's own unit

[ THOMAS Jan 03, 2020 ]

I don't think so but I've never considered that. I bought this for our home gym and it sounds great! Dialog is clear even when rowing machine and treadmill, etc. are going. Bass is excellent too.

I assume you are using this with a tv. I'm no expert, but I don't see how. Look to whether your television will allow more than one audio-out hookup. Maybe look at whether your receiver or your cable box or other audio output device will allow more than one hookup.

[ JANICE Jan 05, 2020 ]

I've owned this systems for a year and I don't believe that adding speakers outside of the MagniFi surround products is possible. And to be clear, this is really not a full-range systems as-is. Limited bass extension. Works okay for a 2nd system or bedroom but def not a "main" system unless you are okay with basics. Personally, i find the vocals often very tinny on TV but streaming Bluetooth music sounds quite good so I'm assuming it's the TV's audio signal and not the product. Hope this helps...

[ PATRICK Jan 05, 2020 ]

Hello Mick, unfortunately you can not. If you are thinking about multiple speakers, maybe you should consider a receiver with sub woofer, center channel and surround speakers. If you are new to home audio try starting small (affordable) with a 5.1 surround. Crutchfield advisers are the best...I'm certain they will point you in the right direction.

[ TOBY D Jan 03, 2020 ]

I don't run any extra speakers on my set up. It sounds great with the multi speaker sound bar and subwoofer. I don't believe the unit is set up for extra speakers wireless.

[ GENE Jan 03, 2020 ]

What network security is built into the Polk MagniFi Mini?

[ Susan Nov 25, 2019 ]

Is this an automatic voltage?or just 110 volts only

Apparently, none. My home wireless network always shows the speaker as "open". I haven't found a way to restrict access. Hope this helps.

[ Juan Ramos Nov 26, 2019 ]

Network security is based on the firewall built into your router

[ BRETT Nov 25, 2019 ]

[ JANE Apr 15, 2019 ]

What is the voltage of this polk ?

I believe it is 110 volts only, U.S. spec.

[ Juan Ramos Apr 22, 2019 ]

110 only

[ MORTON Apr 15, 2019 ]

Hello Jane, sorry...110 only.

[ TOBY D Apr 15, 2019 ]

[ JANE Apr 15, 2019 ]

Is the mini system upgradeable to 5.1 surround sound?

I believe that the two active units both use variable voltage AC modules that can accept wall socket or mains voltages of from 120 to 240 VAC.

[ Robert Apr 15, 2019 ]

It plugs into 115v AC outlet

[ Stephen Apr 15, 2019 ]

I am not a technical person but a happy owner. My response to your question is regular house current.

[ david Mar 19, 2019 ]

Does the TV have to be on to use the music streaming functions?

Hey David, This Polk audio device is excellent, I highly recommend it. It turns a regular TV into a theater.... it's fabulous!!!! Buy it, you won't regret it. I have thoroughly enjoyed mine!!!!!

Nope, it has it's own power and doesn't need the TV to play music

[ JUSTIN Mar 14, 2018 ]

Of course not, it can connect by bluetooth. I have connected my phone to the soundbar and it will play music. There was a slight issue in that sometimes the music would drop for a second. But i cannot figure or remember what i did to correct it. But I think it was with my phone and not being right. If you get this problem I will say return it right away. IN any event I basically use it for my TV . LET me tell you the more you turn up the volume the better it sounds. IT does take a few days or hours to break in the speakers. It is a good value for the money. Since price has come down at other vendors. Would I buy again maybe. Only saying since there seems to be different options out there now! The sub woofer is not the loudest my only disappoint. But since I live in a apt. I have to keep the volume low. AGAIN it is a very nice system. Its up to the customer to keep or not. I do like it.

[ FRANCIS Mar 14, 2018 ]

Hi Josh. The TV would have to be "on" for the Polk system to work if you are streaming with the TV. It would probably go into sleep mode, but it would still be on. I normaly stream music via Bluetooth using my desktop computer or cell phone.

[ EFRAIN Mar 14, 2018 ]

No, unless you're streaming from an app on the TV.

[ Justin Mar 13, 2018 ]

No. Music can be streamed directly to the sound bar from a mobile phone, tablet, or computer.

[ Craig Mar 13, 2018 ]

No, you can stream from your phone through bluetooth or Chromecast.

[ Raul Mar 13, 2018 ]

Will it power on/off automatically when the TV turns on/off?

[ Grant Oct 01, 2017 ]

will the polk mini soundbar work on my old panasonic viera tv? 2008 model?

yes

[ LAURENTIU Oct 02, 2017 ]

The unit will power off when you cut your tv off.

[ JULIUS Oct 02, 2017 ]

Yes, it automatically awakes from sleep mode when the TV is turned on.

I would think so.... I am using the system on an older Samsung TV and what a big difference in the sound now! Well worth trying...

[ Kent Jun 21, 2017 ]

I don't know the answer. but if the Panasonic TV has a HDMI Imput jack labeled Arc or a Opticl Imput connection it will work.

[ JULIUS Jun 20, 2017 ]

If the TV has external speaker connections, it will work.

[ SAMUEL Jun 20, 2017 ]

I love mine I would like to answer your question but I don't know if your tv will have the port for the wiring my tv is a new Sony

[ LARRY Jun 20, 2017 ]

It should. It has an hdmi input, optical input, or aux input. Pros, sounds fantastics. Negatives: Always freaking on when the tv is on. Turn it off, it turns back on in 10 secs. I don't always need it on, so I unplug it. The remote sucks past 5ft and the minimal design on the display is hard to tell what is what. If you need it on all the time then great. Otherwise I would not buy this. (I wished I had returned it to be honest.)

[ Justin Jun 20, 2017 ]

Does this TV have an optical digital audio port? If so, Yes, this sound bar will work with this TV. I currently have this hooked up using an optical digital audio cable that was included with the package.

[ Lyle Jun 20, 2017 ]

Can the subwoofer be layed on its side?

[ Roger Mar 31, 2017 ]

I see there are two different remote layouts in the wild already(bluetooth vs ARC input), was there a update fix in hardware I should look for, and which one should I choose?

It's a down firing sub. It can be laid down, but not sure what that would do to the frequency response.

[ SAMUEL Apr 03, 2017 ]

Yes it can be and does not cause a problem. At least my did not. I know this product gets high praise. It takes awhile for the sound or speaker to get broken in mine did this. I had slight problem at first with blue tooth seems to go away. IF you are looking for deeper sub or base sound. I say pick a different unit. Like theJBL 450 for around $350 to $500. I still LIKE mine for cost, sizing, sound. It works. Hope this is helpful.

[ FRANCIS Apr 02, 2017 ]

No - the sides are curved and the subwoofer would not lay flat on either side.

What is the return policy and warranty on the Polk Audio Magni Fi mini?what is the warranty on the Polk Audio Magni Fi Mini?

We checked in with Polk on this one - and the remote pictured on the website is the correct remote, and the only remote that has come with the MagniFi Mini. If you received a different remote with your unit, then I would recommend reaching out to Polk about getting the correct one.

[ Jeff Feb 23, 2017 ] Staff

Mario. I'm not aware of any hardware changes to this product since launch. It's possible our pictures are from a pre-production model. I'm checking with our web team now.

[ Jeff Feb 22, 2017 ] Staff

Bluetooth and ARC are 2 totally different functions. I have my TV connected to the ARC port of the Polk and it works very good! BUT it depends on your TV.

[ Raul Feb 13, 2017 ]

[ MILES Dec 28, 2016 ]

will this work with the new 2.2 HDMI used on the new 4k TVs?

Thanks for your question. Crutchfield has a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. The manufacturers warranty is 2 years (speakers), 1 year (electronics). You can find warranty information on the main product page under "Product Highlights". Hope this helps.
