Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Harman Kardon
®
 HKTS20/HKTS30 speaker system, with 
which you’re about to begin many years of listening enjoyment. The HKTS20/HKTS30 has 
been custom designed to provide all the excitement and power of the cinema experience 
in your own living room. 
While sophisticated electronics and state-of-the-art speaker components are hard at work 
within the HKTS20 and HKTS30, hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyed cables and 
connections, and simple controls make the HKTS20/HKTS30 easy to use. 
To obtain maximum enjoyment from your new home theater speaker system, we urge 
you to take a few minutes to read through this manual. This will help ensure that the 
connections you make to your receiver (or preamp/processor), amplifier and other devices 
are correct. In addition, a few minutes spent learning the functions of the various controls 
will enable you to take advantage of all the power and refinement the HKTS20/HKTS30 is 
able to deliver.
If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation, please 
contact your dealer, the best local source of information.
Description and Features
The HKTS20/HKTS30 is a complete six-piece home theater speaker system that includes:
An 8-inch, 200-watt powered subwoofer
 •
Four identical two-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
A dedicated, 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
All of the cables you need to connect all of the speakers to your receiver or preamp/
 •
processor and amplifier.
The speaker cables all use a 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 a Harman Kardon 
receiver.
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 include a level control, a 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 included for the satellite and center speakers, and shelf stands 
are included for the satellite speakers. Optional HKFS3 floorstands 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 a Harman Kardon receiver, or any home theater 
system. 
Four satellite speakers for front left/right and surround left/right  
(HKTS30 satellites shown)
    
One powered subwoofer
            
Four wall-mount brackets for satellite 
speakers
One wall-mount bracket for 
center speaker
Four metal stop plates and screws  
(for satellite speaker wall-mount brackets)
One combination LFE and trigger cable for 
connection to the subwoofer 
(LFE cable has purple connectors)
One 4-meter (13.1-foot) speaker cable for 
center speaker (green color bands)
Two 5-meter (16.4-foot) speaker cables for 
front satellites (red and white color bands)
Two 10-meter (32.8-foot) speaker cables for 
rear satellites  
(gray and blue color bands)

HKTS200SUB Rear-Panel Connections 
Subwoofer Level Control: 
.
Use this control to adjust the HKTS200SUB’s volume. Turn 
clockwise to increase the volume; turn counterclockwise to decrease the volume.
Bass Boost Switch: 
1.
Set this switch to ON to enhance the HKTS200SUB’s low-frequency 
performance. Set this switch to OFF for normal low-frequency performance. 
Phase Switch: 
2.
The Phase Switch 
2
 determines whether the  HKTS200SUB’s piston-like 
action moves in and out in phase with the satellite speakers. If the 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 
2
 should be left in the NORMAL position. 
However, it does no harm to experiment, and you can leave the Phase Switch 
2
 in 
the position that maximizes bass response and impact.
Power On Mode Switch:
3.
 When set in the AUTO position and when the Power Switch 
7
 is set to ON, the HKTS200SUB will automatically turn 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 ON position, the HKTS200SUB 
will remain on whether or not it is receiving an audio signal.  
An LED on the HKTS200SUB’s 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 
7
is set to OFF, the LED will not be  
illuminated, no matter what setting the Power On Mode Switch 
3
is in.
External Trigger Input:
4.
 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’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.)
Line-Level LFE In Connector:
5.
 Use the LFE (purple) connector of the 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 HKTS200SUB’s 
internal crossover circuitry, so it should only be used with a subwoofer output that has 
been low-pass filtered. If your receiver or preamp/processor does not have a dedicated 
subwoofer output that is low-pass filtered you should use the HKTS200SUB’s Line-
Level L/R In Connectors 
6
 instead. 
Line-Level L/R In Connectors:
6.
 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 a separate subwoofer output, use the LFE 
(purple) connector of the supplied combination LFE and trigger cable to connect it to 
either one of the HKTS200SUB’s 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 adapter’s single end to the unit’s 
preamp output for that channel. Connect one of the adapter’s dual ends to the main 
amp input for that channel, and connect the adapter’s other dual end to one of the 
HKTS200SUB’s 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: 
7.
Set this switch in the ON 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 
3
.
Power Cord (Non-Detachable):
8.
 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.
