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
(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.

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
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.

will remain on whether or not it is receiving an audio signal.

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

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
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

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
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.
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.

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 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.
