Speaker-Level Connection Guide

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before making speaker

connections, be certain that your receiver or

audio power amplifier is turned off and pre -

ferably unplugged from its AC power source. The

subwoofer should not be connected to an AC

power source until all speaker wire connections

have been made.

Speakers and electronics terminals have

corresponding (+) and (–) terminals. Most

manufacturers of speakers and electronics,

including Harman Kardon, use red to denote the

(+) terminal and black for the (–) terminal.

Newer Harman Kardon receivers conform to the

CEA standard and therefore use a color other

than red or black for the (+) terminal to indicate

some speaker positions: e.g., surround left.

Although the HKTS 2 system has red and black

collars on the individual speaker terminals to

denote the positive and negative connections,

your system includes a colored band on the

positive lead at both ends of every speaker cable

and a matching colored sticker for each of the

two satellite speakers, conforming to the key on

page 6. The subwoofer has a purple SUB input

jack. This system is intended to help you ensure

that the speaker in each location is connected to

the correct terminals on your receiver or

amplifier.

The (+) lead of the speaker wire is indicated

with a stripe and has the colored band

corresponding to the speaker’s position. It is

important to connect all speakers identically: (+)

on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (–) on

the speaker to (–) on the amplifier. Wiring “out

of phase” results in thin sound, weak bass and a

poor stereo image.

To connect the supplied speaker wires to the

satellite terminals located on the bottom of each

speaker, press the red or black tab, insert the

bare end of the wire into the hole, and release

the tab. Gently tug on the wire to make sure

that it is fully inserted.

For the best performance, Harman Kardon

recommends that the subwoofer be connected

using either the Line-Level Subwoofer (SUB)

Input



or the Line-Level Full-Range

Inputs



. However, if the application requires

the use of the speaker-level connections for the

subwoofer, unscrew the binding-post collar until

the pass-through hole in the center post is

visible under the collar. Insert the bare end of

the wire through this hole; then screw the collar

down until the connection is tight. The hole in

the center of each collar is intended for use with

banana-type connectors.
