Description and Features

The HKTS20/HKTS30 is à complete six-piece home theater speaker system that indudes:

+ An8-inch, 200-watt powered subwoofer

+. Fouridentical twro-way video-shielded satellite speakers (the HKTS30 satellite speakers feature dual drivers) for the left and right front, and left and right rear (surround) speaker positions

+ Adedicated, voice-matched, video-shielded, dual-driver center speaker

+ Removable bases and wall-mount brackets for the satellite speakers and a wall- mount bracket for the center speaker

+ Allofthe cables you need to connect all of the speakers to your receiver or preamp/

processor and amplifier.

The speaker cables all use à color-coding system to conform to the Consumer Electronics

Association (CEA) standard. This color-coding system minimizes confusion when

connecting the speakers, especially when you are connecting them to à Harman Kardon

The HKTS200SUB subwoofer is equipped with a special LFE input that simplifies connection to receivers and preamp/processors with dedicated subwoofer outputs that

carry low-frequency signals. Other conveniences indude a level control, à phase switch for fine-tuning bass response to suit your listening environment and taste, and an efficient switching system that senses the presence of an audio signal and automatically switches

the subwoofer from standby mode to on.

Wall-mount brackets are induded for the satellite and center speakers, and shelf stands are induded for the satellite speakers. Optional HKFS3 floorstandks are available separately from your Harman Kardon dealer. Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiver fifty years ago. With state-of-the-art features and time-honored circuit designs, the HKTS20/

HKTS30 is a perfect complement to à Harman Kardon receive, or any home theater system.

© Subwoofer Level Control: Use this control to adjust the HKTS200SUB' volume. Turn dockwise to increase the volume; turn counterclockwise to decrease the volume.

@ Bass Boost Switch: Set this switch to © N to enhance the HKTS200SUB' low-frequency performance. Set this switch to O F F for normal low-frequency performance.

© Phase Switch: The Phase Switch © determines whether the HKTS200SUBS piston-like action moves in and out in phase with the satellite speakers. Ifthe subwoofer were to play out of phase with the satellite speakers, the sound waves produced by the subwoofer could be canceled out, reducing bass performance and sonic impact. This phenomenon depends in part on the relative placement of all the speakers in the room. In most cases the Phase Switch © should be left in the NO RM AL. position. However, it does no harm to experiment, and you can leave the Phase Switch © in the position that maximizes bass response and impact.

© Power On Mode Switch:When set in the AU T © position and when the Power Switch © is set to O N, the HKTS200SUB will automatically tum itself on when it receives an audio signal, and will enter the standby mode once no audio signal has been received for about 15 minutes. When this switch is set in the © N position, the HKTS200SUB will remain on whether or not it is receiving an audio signal. An LED on the HKTS200SUB' top panel indicates whether the subwoofer is in the on or standby state: - When the LED is illuminated white, the HKTS200SUB is turned on. - When the LED is not illuminated, the HKTS200SUB is in standby mode. When the Master Power Switch @ is setto OFF, the LED will not be illuminated, no matter what setting the Power On Mode Switch @ is in.

© External Trigger Input: Use the mini-plug of the supplied combination LFE and trigger cable to connect the External Trigger Input to the trigger output of another compatible component. Whenever a trigger signal between 3 and 30V (AC or DC) is detected, the HKTS200SUB' amplifier will turn on. The HKTS200SUB's amplifier will turn off after the trigger signal ceases. (This will occur even when the Power On Mode Switch @ is in the AU T © position.)

0165CSK - HK HKTS20 and HKTS30 vBindd 4

© Line-Level LFE In Connector: Use the LFE (purple) connector ofthe supplied combination LFE and trigger cable to connect the Line-Level LFE In to the dedicated subwoofer output of a receiver or preamp/processor. This input bypasses the HKTS200SUBS internal crossover drcuitry, so it should only be used with a subwoofer output that has been low-passfiltered. If your receiver or preamp/processor does not have a dedicated subwoofer output that is low-pass filtered you should use the HKTS200SUB Line- Level L/R In Connectors @ instead.

© Line-Level L/R In Connectors: Use these connectors if your receiver or preamp/processor does not have digital surround sound decoding or a subwoofer output that is low-pass filtered. = If your receiver or preamp/processor has à separate subwoofer output, use the LFE purple) connector of the supplied combination LFE and trigger cable to connect it to either one ofthe HKTS200SUBS Line-Level L/R In Connectors.

= If your receiver or preamp/processor does not have a separate subwoofer output, use two Y-adapters (not supplied). Connect an adapters single end to the units preamp output for that channel. Connect one of the adapter dual ends to the main amp input for that channel, and connect the adapters other dual end to one of the HKTS200SUB Line-Level L/R In Connectors. Repeat with the other Y-adapter, preamp channel, main amp input and HKTS200SUB Line-Level L/R In Connector.

© Power Switch: Set this switch in the O N position to turn the HKTS200SUB on. The subwoofer will then either be on or in standby mode, depending on the setting of the Power On Mode Switch @.

© Power Cord (Non-Detachable): After you have made and verified all subwoofer and speaker connections described in this manual, plug this cord into an active, unswitched electrical outlet for proper operation of the HKTS200SUB. DO NOT plug this cord into the accessory outlets found in some audio components.

NOTE: The following speaker placement, mounting and connection instructions are identical for the HKTS20 and HKTS30 systems. Color-Coding System

The HKTS20 and HKTS30 use the channel color-coding system established by the CEA to make setting up your home theater speaker system as easy as possible. The HKTS20/ HKTS30 systems indlude speaker wires with color bands on each end.

The two surround speakers should be placed slightiy behind the listening position, facing each other and, ideally, should be 5-6 feet (1.5m-1.8m) from the floor. An alternate location would be on à wall behind the listening position, facing forward. The surround speakers should not call attention to themselves while they/re playing.

Experiment with their placement until you hear à diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the program material heard from the front left and right and center speakers.

Mounting Options for Satellite and Center Speakers

Speakers and receivers/amplifiers have corresponding (+ ) and (—) connection terminals. Most electronics manufacturers, including Harman Kardon, use red to denote the (+ ) terminal and black for the (—) terminal. Newer Harman Kardon receivers conform to the CEA standard and therefore use a color other than red to denote the (+) terminal for some speaker positions. See the table in Color-Coding System, on page 5.

Each speaker wire induded with your system has colored bands at both ends of the (+ ) conductor, and the subwoofer cable has purple connectors that correspond to the color of the HKTS200SUB' LFE jack. This system helps ensure that the speaker in each location is connected to the correct receiver or amplifier terminal. In addition to the colored bands at each end, each speaker wire (+ ) terminal has ribs molded into its insulation to help identify it.

I is very important to connect each speaker identically: (+ ) on the speaker to (+ ) on the receiver or amplifier, and (— ) on the speaker to (—) on the receiver or amplifier. Miswiring one or more speakers results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image. With the advent of multichannel surround-sound systems, connecting all of the speakers in your system correctly is very important to achieving the proper ambience and directionality of the program material.

To connect the speaker wire to the terminals on the satellite and center speakers, press down on the top of the terminal to open the connection hole, insert the wire bare end allthe way into the hole and release the terminal to secure the wire. Insert the conductor with the colored band into the speakers red (+ ) terminal, and insert the other conductor into the speakers black (— ) terminal, as shown in the illustration.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the (+ ) and (— ) bare wires do not touch each other or the other terminal. Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage your receiv er or amplifier.
