Speaker Connections
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before making speaker connections, be certain that your receiver or
audio power amplifier is turned off and preferably unplugged from its AC power source.
Do not connect the HKTS 160SUB subwoofer to an AC power source until you have made
all speaker-wire connections.
Speakers and other electronics have corresponding (+) and (–)
terminals. Most makers of electronics, including harman kardon
engineers, 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 5 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 four satellite speakers, conforming to the key on page 4. The center speaker
has a green (+) terminal, and 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.
With the advent of multichannel surround-sound systems, connecting all of the speakers
in your system with the correct polarity remains equally important in order to preserve
the proper ambience and directionality of the sound.
To connect the supplied speaker wires to the satellite and center speaker 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.

Connecting the Subwoofer
Use the LFE (purple) connector to connect the HKTS 160SUB’s Line-Level LFE In
connector to the dedicated subwoofer output (or LFE output) of your receiver or preamp/
processor. If the receiver or preamp/processor has a low-pass filter on the subwoofer
output, set the subwoofer's Crossover Control to maximum (150 Hz).
Connect each satellite speaker and the center speaker to the corresponding speaker
terminals on your receiver or amplifier.
In your receiver or preamp/processor’s setup menu, configure the receiver or preamp/
processor for “Subwoofer ON,” and set the front, center and surround speakers to
“Small.” After you have made and verified all connections, plug the HKTS 160SUB’s AC
Power cord into an active AC outlet.
