Phase Switch:

 This switch determines whether the HKTS 210SUB's driver’s piston-like 

action moves in and out in phase with the speakers in the soundbar. If the subwoofer 

were to play out of phase with the soundbar speakers, the sound waves from the 

soundbar could cancel out some of the sound waves from the subwoofer, reducing bass 

performance and sonic impact. This phenomenon depends in part on the placement of 

the soundbar and subwoofer relative to each other in the room. 

Bass Boost Switch:

 Set this switch to “On” to enhance the HKTS 210SUB's low-frequency  

performance. Set this switch to “Off” for normal low-frequency performance.

Power On Mode Switch: 

When this switch is set in the “Auto” position and when 

the Power switch is set to “On,” HKTS 210SUB will automatically turn itself on when it 

receives an audio signal. The subwoofer will enter the Standby mode when it has gone 

without receiving an audio signal for about 15 minutes. When this switch is set in the 

“On” position, the subwoofer will remain on whether or not it is receiving an audio 

signal.

When the LED glows blue, the  

 

HKTS 210SUB is in the On mode.

When the LED is off, the  

 

HKTS 210SUB is in Standby mode. When the Power switch 

is set to “Off,” the LED will not light up, no matter what setting the Power On Mode 

switch is in.

Subwoofer Level Control:

 Use this control to adjust the  HKTS 210SUB's volume. Turn 

the knob clockwise to increase the volume; turn the knob counterclockwise to decrease 

the volume.

Input Mode Switch:

 When this switch is in the “Normal” position, the input signal from 

the Line Level In L/R connectors is active. When this switch is in the “LFE” position, the 

input signal from the Line Level In LFE connector is active.

External Trigger Input Connector: 

Use the mini-plug of the supplied combination LFE 

and trigger cable to connect the External Trigger Input connector to the trigger output of 

another compatible component. Whenever the HKTS 210SUB's amplifier detects a trigger 

signal between 3V and 30V (AC or DC) the amplifier will turn on. The amplifier will turn 

off after the trigger signal ceases, even when the Power On Mode switch is in the “Auto” 

position.

Line Level In LFE Connector:

 The signal from this connector bypasses the subwoofer’s 

internal low-pass crossover. When you’re connecting the subwoofer to the dedicated 

subwoofer output of a receiver/processor that has its own low-pass crossover network, 

use the Line Level In LFE connector and set the subwoofer’s Input Mode switch in the 

“LFE” position.

Line Level In L/R Connectors: 

The signals from these connectors pass through the 

subwoofer’s internal low-pass crossover. When you’re connecting the subwoofer to 

the preamp or subwoofer outputs of a receiver/processor that does not have its own 

low-pass crossover network, use both Line Level In L/R connectors and set the Input 

Mode switch in the “Normal” position. If your receiver/processor has only one subwoofer 

output, you can use either the L or R connector.

Power Switch: 

Set this switch in the “On” position to turn the HKTS 210SUB on. The 

subwoofer will then be in either on or Standby mode, depending on the setting of the 

Power On Mode switch.

Power Cord(non-detachable):

 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 HKTS 210SUB. DO NOT plug this cord into the 

accessory outlets found in some audio components.
