Thank you
for purchasing the Harman Kardon
HKTS 2, with which you are about to begin
many years of listening enjoyment. The
HKTS 2 has been custom designed to pro-
vide all the excitement and power of the
cinema experience in your own living room.
While sophisticated electronics and state-
of-the-art speaker components are hard at
work within the HKTS 2 to make all of this
happen, hookup and operation are simple.
Color-keyed connections and simple con-
trols make the HKTS 2 easy to use.
To obtain maximum enjoyment from your
new home-theater speaker system, we urge
you to take a few minutes to read through
this manual. This will ensure that connec-
tions to your receiver or preamp/processor
and amplifier or other external devices are
made properly. In addition, a few minutes
spent learning the functions of the various
controls will enable you to take advantage
of all the power and refinement the HKTS 2
is able to deliver.
If you have any questions about this prod-
uct, its installation or operation, please
contact your dealer, the best local source of
information.
Description and Features
The HKTS 2 is a six-piece home theater
speaker system that includes a 10-inch,
100-watt bass-reflex powered subwoofer;
four identical 2-way, sealed enclosure satel-
lite speakers for use in the left and right
front and rear speaker positions; a dedicat-
ed, tandem-midrange center speaker; wall-
mount brackets for the four satellites; and
all of the speaker cables you need to
connect your speakers to your receiver or
preamp/processor and amplifier.
The HKTS 2 subwoofer is equipped with
speaker-level inputs and outputs, line-level
inputs, a special subwoofer input for use
with equipment that furnishes a pre-filtered
subwoofer output, a level control, and an
efficient switching system that senses the
presence of an audio signal and automati-
cally switches the unit from standby mode
to play mode.
Although wall-mount brackets are included
for the satellite speakers, Harman Kardon
also offers optional stands, model FSTS 1,
which can be ordered through your dealer.
Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity
receiver more than forty-seven years ago.
With state-of-the-art features and time-
honored circuit designs, the HKTS 2 is a
perfect complement to a Harman Kardon
receiver, and is one of the finest products
ever offered by Harman Kardon.
