HKTS200SUB Rear-Panel Connections
Subwoofer Level Control:
Use this control to adjust the HKTS200SUB’s volume. Turn
clockwise to increase the volume; turn counterclockwise to decrease the volume.
Bass Boost Switch:
Set this switch to
to enhance the HKTS200SUB’s low-
frequency performance. Set this switch to
for normal low-frequency
performance.
Phase Switch:
The
Phase Switch
determines whether the HKTS200SUB’s piston-
like action moves in and out in phase with the satellite speakers. If the subwoofer
were to play out of phase with the satellite speakers, the sound waves produced by
the subwoofer could be canceled out, reducing bass performance and sonic impact.
This phenomenon depends in part on the relative placement of all the speakers in the
room. In most cases the
Phase Switch
should be left in the
position.
However, it does no harm to experiment, and you can leave the
Phase Switch
in
the position that maximizes bass response and impact.
Power On Mode Switch:
When set in the
position and when the
Power
Switch
is set to
, the HKTS200SUB will automatically turn itself on when it
receives an audio signal, and will enter the standby mode once no audio signal has
been received for about 15 minutes. When this switch is set in the
position, the
HKTS200SUB will remain on whether or not it is receiving an audio signal.
An LED on the HKTS200SUB’s top panel indicates whether the subwoofer is in the on
or standby state:

t8IFOUIF-&%JTOPUJMMVNJOBUFEUIF),5446#JTJOTUBOECZNPEF
When the
Master Power Switch
is set to
, the LED will not be
illuminated, no matter what setting the
Power On Mode Switch
is in.
External Trigger Input:
Use the mini-plug of the supplied combination LFE and
trigger cable to connect the
External Trigger Input
to the trigger output of another
compatible component. Whenever a trigger signal between 3 and 30V (AC or DC) is
detected, the HKTS200SUB’s amplifier will turn on. The HKTS200SUB’s amplifier will
turn off after the trigger signal ceases. (This will occur even when the
Power On
Mode Switch
is in the
position.)
Line-Level LFE In Connector:
Use the LFE (purple) connector of the supplied
combination LFE and trigger cable to connect the
Line-Level LFE In
to the dedicated
subwoofer output of a receiver or preamp/processor. This input bypasses the
HKTS200SUB’s internal crossover circuitry, so it should only be used with a subwoofer
output that has been low-pass filtered. If your receiver or preamp/processor does
not have a dedicated subwoofer output that is low-pass filtered you should use the
HKTS200SUB’s
Line-Level L/R In Connectors
instead.
Line-Level L/R In Connectors:
Use these connectors if your receiver or preamp/
processor does not have digital surround sound decoding or a subwoofer output that
is low-pass filtered.

(purple) connector of the supplied combination LFE and trigger cable to connect it to
either one of the HKTS200SUB’s
Line-Level L/R In Connectors.

use two Y-adapters (not supplied). Connect an adapter’s single end to the unit’s
preamp output for that channel. Connect one of the adapter’s dual ends to the main
amp input for that channel, and connect the adapter’s other dual end to one of the
HKTS200SUB’s
Line-Level L/R In Connectors
. Repeat with the other Y-adapter,
preamp channel, main amp input and HKTS200SUB
Line-Level L/R In Connector.
Power Switch:
Set this switch in the
position to turn the HKTS200SUB on. The
subwoofer will then either be on or in 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 HKTS200SUB. DO NOT plug this
cord into the accessory outlets found in some audio components.
