Connections

CAUTION: Before connecting anything to the HS 280/HS 210, ensure that the

HS 280/HS 210 receiver is turned Off and the receiver’s AC cord is unplugged

from the receiver and the AC outlet.

Connecting the Satellite Speakers

Speakers and receivers/amplifiers have corresponding ( + ) and ( – ) connection

terminals.

Your system’s

•

SAT TS60 left and right speakers use red to denote the ( + )

terminal and black for the ( – ) terminal.

The

•

HS 280/HS 210 receiver uses white to denote the left channel ( + ) terminal

and red for the right channel ( + ) terminal.

Black

•

is used to denote the ( – ) terminal of both channels.

The speaker wires included with your system have colored bands at both ends of

the ( + ) conductor; the colors correspond to the receiver’s ( + ) terminal colors. The

subwoofer cable has purple connectors that correspond to the color of the receiver’s

subwoofer output and the color of the HKTS200SUB subwoofer’s LFE jack. This system

helps you connect each speaker to the correct receiver or amplifier terminals. In

addition to the colored bands at each end, each speaker wire’s ( + ) terminal has ribs

molded into its insulation to help you identify it.

For the speaker-connection instructions on pages 6 through 9, thread the appropriate

speaker cable through the opening in the bottom of the attachment plate and then

through the back of the bracket, as shown in the diagram.

Plate

The bracket has two openings on top: a round

screw hole and an arc-shaped opening in front of

it. Thread the speaker cable through the arc-

shaped opening, not the screw hole.

Attach the 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.

Thread the cable through the round opening in the terminal cover. Insert the speaker

wires into the terminals on the underside of the speaker, remembering to observe the

correct polarity (see “Speaker Connections”).

Place the terminal cover over the opening on the underside of the speaker so that

it fits flush against the speaker and covers the terminals, with its round opening

exposing the threaded insert. The bracket fits through the round opening in the

terminal cover.

Wall Bracket

Insert the supplied bracket bolt up through the

bottom of the bracket and terminal cover. 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 bracket from pivoting.

The wall-mounted speaker may be pivoted from side to side; however, the bracket is

not designed to tilt up or down, and attempting to tilt it will damage the bracket and

possibly the wall. Your warranty will not cover the damage.

It is very important to connect each speaker identically: ( + ) on the speaker

to ( + ) on the receiver or amplifier, and ( – ) on the speaker to ( – ) on the

receiver or amplifier. Miswiring one or more speakers results in thin sound, weak

bass and a poor stereo image.

To connect the speaker wire to the terminals on the satellite speakers:

Press down on the top of the terminal to open the connection hole.1.

Insert the wire’s bare end all the way into the hole. Insert the conductor with the 2.

colored band into the speaker’s red ( + ) terminal, and insert the other conductor

into the speaker’s black ( – ) terminal.

Release the terminal to secure the wire to the terminals.3.

IMPORTANT: 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 the receiver.

To connect the speaker wire to the terminals on the receiver:

Unscrew the connector sleeve to expose the hole in the connector post. 1.

CAUTION: Take care not to unscrew the sleeve completely off the post.

Insert the wire’s bare end through the hole in the post. Insert the conductor with 2.

the red colored band into the receiver’s red ( + ) terminal. Insert the conductor

with the white colored band into the receiver’s white ( + ) terminal. Insert the

unmarked conductors into the receiver’s black ( – ) terminals.

Tighten the connector sleeve to secure the wire. 3.
