many years of listening enjoyment. The
HKTS 5 has been custom-designed to pro-
vide all the excitement and power of the

Color-keyed connections and simple con-

is able to deliver.
If you have any questions about this prod-
uct, its installation or operation, please

Description and Features
The HKTS 5 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,
satellite speakers for use in the left and
right front and rear speaker positions; a
dedicated, 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 5 subwoofer is easy to connect to
your system, since it is equipped with a
special subwoofer input for use with equip-
ment that has a dedicated subwoofer con-
nection that carries a low-frequency output.
Other conveniences include a level control
and an efficient switching system that senses
the presence of an audio signal and auto-
matically switches the unit from Standby
mode to Active mode.
Wall-mount brackets are included for the
satellite speakers and Harman Kardon also
offers optional stands (model FSTS1) which
may 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 5 is a
perfect complement to a Harman Kardon
receiver or any home theater system.
