The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. [. . . ] Whenever a trigger signal between 3 and 30V (AC or DC) is detected, the HKTS200SUB's 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 3 is in the AUTO position. ) and speaker connections described in this manual, plug this cord into an active, unswitched electrical outlet for proper operation of the HKTS200SUB. NOTE: If you are using your own speaker wire, it must be no thicker than the wire supplied with the speakers. Thicker wire will prevent the wall-mount bracket from sliding onto the speaker. Decide on the location for the speaker (see Speaker Placement, opposite). Remove the speaker's base as explained in Shelf Placement, above. Pull Sections Apart Placing the Center Speaker Center Speaker 0 - 2 ft (0 - 61cm) Left Front Speaker Right Front Speaker The center speaker should be placed slightly behind (farther away from the listener) the front left and right speakers. Its center should be no more than 2 feet (61cm) above or below the tweeters of the front left and right speakers. If you have a CRT television, it may be convenient to set the center speaker on top of the television set. Placing the Subwoofer Left Front Speaker Right Front Speaker Subwoofer Since our ears do not hear directional sound at the low frequencies where the subwoofer operates, it will have good performance from just about any location in your room. However, the best bass reproduction is likely to be heard when the subwoofer is placed in a corner along the same wall as the front left and right speakers. You can experiment with subwoofer placment by temporarily placing it in the listening position and playing music with strong bass content. If you have not already removed the speaker's base, do so by pulling it straight off the speaker, as shown in the illustration. Applying even pressure to both sides of the base will allow it to slide off smoothly. Apply Pressure Evenly to Both Sides of Base Lift Base Straight off Speaker Slide Speaker onto Wall-Mount 11. Fit the metal stop plate into the recess on the bottom of the mount with the pad facing the mount, and fasten it to the mount using two of the supplied screws. This will prevent The speaker from detaching from the bracket and will hold the speaker's position as you rotate it on the mount. CAUTION: Before making speaker connections, be sure that your receiver or amplifier is turned OFF and preferably, its AC cord is unplugged from the AC outlet. Stop Plate Supplied Screws 6 1. Decide on the location for the speaker (see Speaker Placement, on page 5). Attach the center speaker wall-mount bracket to the wall using hardware that is appropriate for the wall's construction and materials. Attach the anchors through the holes shown in the illustration. 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 included 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's LFE jack. [. . . ] Make sure that all wires and connections between the receiver/amplifier and the surround speakers are connected properly. Make sure the speaker wires are not frayed, cut or punctured. Review proper operation of your receiver/processor and its surroundsound features. Make sure the movie or TV show you're watching has been recorded in a surroundsound mode. [. . . ]
