Description and Features

The SB 15/230 is a complete home theater speaker system that includes:

A video-shielded stereo soundbar speaker (the SB 15CNTR) with two-way dual-

 

driver left and right speakers and built-in 25-watt x 2 stereo amplifier

A 10-inch (250mm), 100-watt wireless powered subwoofer (the SB15SUB)

 

Wall-mount brackets for the soundbar

 

A 6 .5-foot (2m) stereo audio cable for connecting the system directly to your TV’s 

 

audio output .

The SB 15CNTR soundbar contains the system’s left and right speakers and stereo 
amplifiers, and features digital signal processing with virtual 3D surround circuitry 
that creates a complete surround-sound experience without any extra speakers or 
wires . You can set the soundbar on a table in front of your TV, and the system includes 
hardware that makes it easy to mount the soundbar on the wall along with your 
flat-panel TV . You can program the soundbar to respond to your TV remote’s volume, 
power and source commands .

The SB15SUB subwoofer receives its signal from the SB 15CTR soundbar via wireless 
technology, so you can place it anywhere in your room without having to run any 
wires . Its 10-inch (250mm) woofer and built-in 100-watt amplifier deliver a movie’s 
impact and excitement . Other conveniences include a volume control, a phase switch 
for fine-tuning bass response to suit your listening environment, and an efficient 
switching system that senses the presence of an audio signal and automatically 
switches the subwoofer on .

Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiver more than 50 years ago . With 
state-of-the-art features and time-honored circuit designs, the SB 15/230 will turn 
your flat-screen TV into a fun and exciting home theater .

One SB 15CNTR soundbar speaker

One SB 15SUB 10-inch (250mm) 100-watt wireless subwoofer

Two wall-mount brackets for the SB 15CNTR soundbar

One 24V DC power supply and AC power cord for the SB 15CNTR speaker

One 6 .5-foot (2m) stereo audio cable

Important 

If anything is missing, or if any part of your SB 15/230 system fails to operate 
properly, contact your dealer immediately .
