Usage

jack, the speaker system is muted and the center and surround levels will be disallowed. Thus, when 
toggling through speaker modes, the system will skip the center and surround modes. Treble, bass 
and volume modes will remain active.

Diagnostics

In order to facilitate optimal system setup, diagnostics have been built in to the Harman/Kardon HK-
595 speakers. If you are having trouble getting sound out of your system, or are not confident that your 
setup is optimal, use the following diagnostics to configure your Harman/Kardon HK-595 speakers.

To activate the diagnostic, press the mode button continuously for 6 seconds. This will generate a test 
tone. You should hear this tone coming from the subwoofer and the left and right satellites. This tone 
will toggle between left satellite, right satellite and subwoofer every three seconds.

While the speaker system is in the diagnostic mode, all F/X controls are locked out until the power 
switch located on the subwoofer is turned off, then on.

Turning the speaker system off using the power switch on the subwoofer will terminate the test tone. 
When the speaker system is turned back on, the test tone will be gone and the speaker system will be 
configured for optimal operation. If the tone is heard from all speakers, your HK-595 speaker system is 
working correctly. If not, see the troubleshooting section for detailed troubleshooting techniques.
