Operation
Operation
Turning the Subwoofer On and Off
Set the HKTS 210SUB’s 
Power Switch 8 to the ON position.
If the 
Power On Mode Switch 2 is set to AUTO, the HKTS 210SUB will 
automatically turn itself on when it receives an audio signal, and it will go into 
the standby mode after it has received no audio signal for 15 minutes. The 
HKTS 210SUB’s leD will glow white when the subwoofer is on and will not be 
illuminated when the subwoofer is in standby.
If the 
Power On Mode Switch 2 is set to On, the HKTS 210SUB will remain on 
at all times. The HKTS 210SUB’s leD will glow white.
If the 
External Trigger Input 5 is connected to a trigger-voltage source, the 
HKTS 210SUB will turn on whenever a trigger voltage is present and will enter the 
standby mode after the trigger voltage ceases, regardless of the position of the 
Power On Mode Switch 2.
If  you  will  be  away  from  home  for  an  extended  period  of  time,  or  if  you  will  not  be 
using the subwoofer for an extended period, switch the 
Power Switch 8 to the OFF 
Position.
Subwoofer Adjustments: Volume
Use  the 
Subwoofer  Level  Control  3  to  set  the  HKTS 210SUB’s  volume.  Turn  the 
knob clockwise to increase the subwoofer’s volume; turn the knob counterclockwise to 
decrease the subwoofer’s volume.
Subwoofer Adjustments: Phase
The 
Phase Switch 0 determines whether the HKTS 210SUB’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 from the satellites could cancel out 
sound  waves  from  the  subwoofer,  reducing  bass  performance  and  sonic  impact. This 
phenomenon depends in part on the placement of all the speakers in the room. 
Although in most cases the 
Phase Switch 0 should be left in the NORMAL position, 
there is no absolutely correct setting for the 
Phase Switch 0. When the HKTS 210SUB 
is properly in phase with the satellite speakers, the audio will be clearer, have maximum 
impact and make percussive sounds like drums, piano and plucked strings sound more 
lifelike. The best way to set the 
Phase Switch 0 is to listen to music that you know 
well and set the switch in the position that gives drums and other percussive sounds 
maximum impact.
Subwoofer Adjustments: Bass Boost
When  set  to  the  ON  position,  the  Bass  Boost  Switch  1  enhances  low-frequency 
performance, resulting in bass with more impact, which you may prefer while watching 
movies or listening to music. There is no harm in experimenting with this control. Setting 
the switch to the OFF position will return normal low-frequency performance.
