Unpacking

The carton and shipping material used to protect your new system during shipment are

specially designed to cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest that you should

save the carton and packing material for use in shipping if you move or if the unit ever

needs repair.

To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may have to flatten it. You can do it

by carefully slitting the tape seams on the carton’s bottom and collapsing it. You can

store cardboard inserts in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed

should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.

If you do not wish to save the packaging material, note that the carton and other sections

of the shipping-protection materials are recyclable. Please respect the environment and

discard those materials at a local recycling center.

Remove the protective plastic film from the front-panel lens. Leaving the film in place

will affect the performance of your remote control.

Included Items

The following are the items provided in the BDS system complete package.

• One Remote Control

• One Power Cord

• One FM Antenna

• One HDMI Cable

• Two AAA Batteries

• One USB Cable (for Bluetooth Module software upgrades)

NOTE:If any of the listed items are missing, please contact Harman Kardon

customer service at www.harmankardon.com

Installation Location

• To ensure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards,

place the unit on a firm and level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf,

be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the

weight of the product.

• Provide adequate space behind the system for ventilation. If the product

will be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make sure there is

sufficient air movement within the area.

• Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.

• Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations or in an area that is

exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment.

• Avoid moist or humid locations.

• Do not obstruct the fan vents on the rear panel or ventilation slots on the

sides of the unit or place objects directly over or next to them.

• Do not place the system directly on top of a product that generates

excessive heat.

• Due to the heat generated by the system, there is a remote possibility that

the padding on the bottom of the system may leave marks on certain wood

or wood-veneer materials. Use caution when placing the system on soft

woods or other materials that heat or heavy objects may damage. Some

surface finishes may be particularly sensitive to absorbing such marks, due

to a variety of factors beyond Harman Kardon’s control, including the nature

of the finish, cleaning materials used, normal heat and vibration caused by

the use of the product, or other factors. Your warranty will not cover this

type of damage to furniture, so exercise caution in choosing an installation

location for the component and in performing normal maintenance

practices.

• The BDS system requires either a Wi-Fi home network signal or access to

a physical Ethernet connection to access certain features such as DLNA®,

control from the Harman Kardon Remote app, and streaming Internet

services.

Verify Line Voltage before Using

Your BDS system has been designed to be used with 100 – 240 Volt, 50 Hz/60Hz AC

current and includes a detachable IEC power cable intended for use in the region where

the system is sold. Connection to a line voltage other than that for which the unit is

intended can create a safety and fire hazard and may damage the unit. If you have any

questions about the voltage requirements for your specific model or about the line

voltage in your area, contact your dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.

Speaker Placement

Color-Coding System

The HKTS loudspeakers use the CEA color-coding system to make setting up your home

theater speaker system as easy as possible. Your system includes a set of colored stickers

that may be placed near the speaker terminals of each of the four satellite speakers

according to the key below. It doesn’t matter which satellite speaker is used for any

of the front or rear positions. (The center speaker and powered subwoofer are already

color-coded for you.)

Front Speakers

Place the front speakers the same distance from each other as they are from the

listening position (the place where you’ll be when you listen to the loudspeakers). They

should be placed at about the same height from the floor as the listener’s ears will be.

They also can be angled toward the listener.

Center Speaker

The center speaker should be placed slightly behind (farther away from the listener) the

front left and right speakers. Its center should be no more than 55 cm (2 feet) above or

below the tweeters of the front left and right speakers. It is often convenient to set the

center speaker on top of the television set, as shown in the drawing.

BDS 335/635 System

Mounting OptionsSpeaker Placement and Mounting Options

Subwoofer

The low-frequency sound reproduced by the subwoofer is mostly omnidirectional, and

this speaker may be placed in a convenient location in the room. However, the best

reproduction of bass will be heard when the subwoofer is placed in a corner along the

same wall as the front speakers. Experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily

placing the subwoofer in the listening position and moving around the room until the

bass reproduction is best. Place the subwoofer in that location.

Surround Speakers

Place the two surround speakers slightly behind the listening position. Ideally, they

should face each other and be at a level higher than the listeners’ ears. If that is not

possible, they may be placed on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward.

The surround speakers should not call attention to themselves. Experiment with their

placement until you hear a diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the main program

material heard in the front speakers.

Mounting Options

You can place the satellite and center speakers on shelves using their built-in stands, or

you can wall-mount them using the supplied hardware.

Wall-Mounting the Satellites

1. Remove the black shelf stand from the bottom of the speaker by unscrewing the

bolt. Store the shelf stand and bolt in a safe place in case you need them in the

future.

2. Determine the locations for the speakers. If possible, position the speakers so that

the mounting screws (not included; use size #8) can be installed directly into a wall

stud. If that is not possible, use optional wall anchors that are rated to support

at least 25 lb (11.3kg) and are appropriate for the construction and materials of

your wall. The customer is responsible for the proper selection and use of

mounting hardware, available through hardware stores, to wall-mount

the speakers properly and safely.

3. Bring the speaker cable through the wall-bracket attachment plate, and mount the

attachment plate on the wall in the desired location.

4. Thread the speaker cable through the arc-shaped opening on the top of the

mounting bracket, not the screw hole.

5. Attach the mounting bracket to the wall plate by inserting the tab at the top of the

attachment plate into the slot on top of the bracket and snapping the bracket onto

the attachment plate.

6. Fit the terminal cover onto the bracket as shown in the illustration below, then

connect the speaker leads to the terminals on the underside of the speaker.

Remember to observe the correct polarity.

7. Fit the terminal cover into the opening on the underside of the speaker so that it is

flush against the speaker and covers the terminals. Insert the supplied long bracket

bolt up through the bottom of the bracket and terminal cover, and screw it into the

threaded insert on the underside of the speaker. The bolt should be snug but not so

tight as to prevent the speaker from pivoting on the bracket.

Connections

BDS 335/635 System

You can pivot the wall-mounted speaker from side to side; however, attempting to tilt it

up or down will damage the bracket and possibly the wall, which would not be covered

by your warranty.

Wall-Mounting the Center Speaker (BDS 635 ONLY)

1. Determine the location for the speaker. If possible, position the speaker so that one

of the mounting screws (not included; use size #10) can be installed directly into a

wall stud. If that is not possible, use optional wall anchors that are rated to support

at least 25 lb (11.3kg) and are appropriate for the construction and materials of

your wall. The customer is responsible for the proper selection and use of mounting

hardware, available through hardware stores, to wall-mount the speaker properly

and safely.

2. Bring the speaker cable through the wall-bracket attachment plate as shown, and

mount the attachment plate on the wall in the desired location.

3. Remove the rubber pads from the foot rests on the bottom of the center speaker

and connect the speaker leads to the terminals on the underside of the speaker.

Remember to observe the correct polarity.

4. Use the supplied screws to attach the speaker to the wall-mount bracket. The screws

thread into the center foot-rest openings that were exposed when you removed the

rubber pads in the previous step.

Connections

CAUTION: Before making any connections to the BDS system, ensure that

the AC cord is unplugged from the system and the AC outlet. Making speaker

connections with the system plugged in and turned on could damage the

speakers or the BDS system.

Speakers and the BDS system have corresponding (+) and (–) connection terminals.

Most speakers use red to denote the (+) terminal and black for the (–) terminal. Your

BDS system has color-coded speaker terminals:

BDS 335 System

White left channel (+)

Red right channel (+)

Purple subwoofer (+)

Black (–) on both channels

BDS 635 System

White front left (+)

Red front right (+)

Blue surround left (+)

Gray surround right (+)

Green center (+)

Purple subwoofer (+)

Black (–) on all channels

Black is used to denote the (–) terminals of all channels on the BDS system.

Be sure to connect each speaker identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the BDS

system and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the BDS system. If one or more speakers are

miswired, it results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.

CAUTION: Make sure the (+) and (–) bare wires do not touch each other or

the other terminal. Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage

your BDS system.

Connections

Connecting the FM Antenna

Connect the supplied antenna to the FM Antenna connector as shown in the following

illustration. Fully extend the antenna wire and move it to different positions until you

get the best reception of your favorite stations.

Connecting a TV or Video Display

Use the supplied HDMI cable to connect the BDS system’s HDMI output to your TV/video

display’s HDMI input. The BDS system is HDMI version 1.4b with 3-D and 30/36-bit Deep

Color.

NOTE: If you have devices (such as a digital tuner) already connected directly

to your TV, you can feed their sound to the BDS system via the HDMI output

connector’s Audio Return Channel, and they will not require additional

connections to the system.

Connecting Your HDMI Source Devices

If you have any source devices with an HDMI connector, using it will provide the best

possible video and audio performance quality. Since the HDMI cable carries both

digital video and digital audio signals, you do not have to make any additional audio

connections for devices you connect via an HDMI cable.

Connecting Your Digital Audio Source Devices

Optical Audio Source Device

If you have at least two non-HDMI source devices with optical digital outputs, connect

them to the system’s optical digital audio connectors.

Coaxial Digital Audio Source Device

If one of your non-HDMI source devices has a coaxial digital output, connect it to the

system’s Coaxial Digital Input connector.

NOTE: Make only one type of digital connection (HDMI, optical or coaxial)

from each device.

Connecting Analog Audio Source Devices

Use the system’s Aux In connectors for up to two source devices that don’t have HDMI or

digital audio connectors.

Preparing the Remote Control

Installing the Batteries

Your system’s remote control uses two AAA batteries (supplied). Insert the batteries as

shown in the illustration, making sure to observe the correct polarity.

Using the Remote Control

When using the remote control, remember to aim it towards the system’s front panel.

Make sure that no objects, such as furniture, block the remote’s view of the system.

Bright lights, fluorescent lights, and plasma-video displays may interfere with the

function of the remote.

• The remote control has a range of about 20 feet (6.1m), depending on the

lighting conditions.

• You can use the remote at an angle of up to 30° to either side of the BDS

system.

If the remote seems to operate intermittently, or if pressing a button on the remote does

not cause the remote control backlights to light up, make sure that the batteries are

inserted correctly. If the remote still operates intermittently, replace all two batteries

with new ones.
