Introduction

Thank you for purchasing Harman Kardon HTFS 2 floor stands. These stands are designed to enhance your enjoyment of a Harman Kardon HKTS 7 or HKTS 14 home cinema loudspeaker system by expanding your speaker-placement options to create the optimum audio presentation. The HTFS 2 stands are also compatible with Harman Kardon HKS 3 and HKS 4 loudspeakers.

To obtain maximum enjoyment of your home theater system, we ask you to spend a few minutes reading the speaker placement and setup instructions in the owner's manual supplied with your loudspeakers, and a few moments reviewing the assembly instructions for your HTFS 2 floor stands. If you have any questions about this product or its installation, or about your loudspeakers, please contact your Harman Kardon dealer, who is your best local source of information.

2. Following the instructions on pages 9 through 12 of the owner's manual provided with your HKTS system, thread the appropriate speaker cable through the hole in the center of the base, being careful to avoid the two screw holes. Then feed the cable through the length of the column from the bottom until it comes out the top.
3. Attach the column to the base using two of the supplied screws.

4. Thread the speaker cable through the hole in the center of the mounting plate, being careful to avoid the three screw holes.

5. Attach the mounting plate to the top of the column using two of the supplied screws. The mounting plate tab with the third screw hole should sit on the higher rim of the column.
