HTS SET UP GUIDE
In addition, HTS systems have a subwoofer which provides
very low frequency sounds and special effects. The
subwoofer supports low frequencies for all 5 audio channels.
It is a specially designed high power unit with its own built-
in amplification capable of reproducing very low frequencies
at realistic levels to enhance music and movie experiences.
ASSEMBLING THE CENTRE &
SATELLITE WALL BRACKETS
This high performance Tannoy HTS 5.1 home cinema system
has been built and tested with care and precision to provide
first class performance and reliable operation. To ensure
maximum benefit from ownership and for reasons of safety,
please read through all the information in this owner's manual
before operating and using this system for the first time.
Fit the wall brackets to the smaller satellite speakers if you
wish to wall mount them as follows:
• Fit 2 halves of 2 brackets to the centre speaker with the
threaded hinge pin hole in the bracket facing the terminals
on the back of the satellite. This orientation will allow the
hinge pins to be fitted from either side of the cabinet when
mounting to the wall.
• Locate the appropriate screws and lock washers in the
accessory pack - 2 screws for each wall bracket; 12 screws
in total for the HTS100 system and 8 screws in total for
HTS200 system.
5.1 decoders provide a special subwoofer output signal
which you connect directly into the HTS subwoofer using
a suitable cable. The subwoofer output socket on your
equipment is usually labelled 'LFE' (Low Frequency Effects)
or 'SUB' or 'SUBWOOFER' output.
Tannoy HTS systems are primarily designed for use with the
following equipment:-
• Locate the Allen key tool which which you will use to
tighten the hex socket head screws.
Each wall mounting bracket has two halves and a long
screw/pin which holds the two halves together to act as the
hinge. One half is mounted on the speaker using 2 screws
and the other half is mounted on the wall using suitable screws
and wall plugs. It is your responsibility to ensure that the wall
and the screw fixing method are both strong enough to support
the weight of the satellite speakers. See the specification
page for weights.
• An AV or Home Cinema Receiver with integral 5.1 decoder,
5 power amplifiers and a dedicated LFE or subwoofer
line level output.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX?
HTS 100:
• One carton containing 4 x satellite speakers, 1 x
centre speaker, 1 x subwoofer, cable, wall brackets
and accessories.
• An integrated DVD player with 5.1 decoder, 5 power
amplifiers and a dedicated LFE or subwoofer line
level output.
• Fit the other half of the bracket(s) to the wall using a
suitable fixing method for the type of wall material - seek
professional advice if unsure.
HTS 200:
• Separate each bracket into two halves by removing the
long hinge screw.
• One carton containing 2 x satellite speakers, 1 x centre
speaker, 1 x subwoofer, cable, wall brackets
and accessories.
• A 5.1 decoder (with LFE or subwoofer output) feeding 5
separate power amplifiers.
• One carton containing 2 x tower speakers, 2 x base
platforms, spikes, wood floor protectors and
associated screws.
A 5.1 decoder separates digital audio signals from DVD, CD
or Digital Broadcast sources into five separate audio channels
which feed the five separate speakers in the HTS system and
a sixth channel which feeds the HTS subwoofer.

cable supplied, to reach between the speakers and your
AV or Home Cinema receiver speaker output terminals.
POSITIONING THE HTS SPEAKERS
Place the speakers in positions relative to the viewing screen
in your room as follows:
• Note that the cable is polarised, that is the cable has a
grey stripe along one of the two conductors. Use this as
a guide to connect black terminals on the speakers to
black terminals on your equipment.
• Centre speaker close to, and either above or below
the screen.
• Wire up the system connecting each speaker to the
appropriate terminals on the receiver or amplifier making
quite sure that cables connect red to red terminals
(+ to +) and black to black terminals, (- to -). Take care
to distinguish between left and right channels, and the
front and rear channels, as seen from the viewing position.
• Front Left speaker 1 to 2 metres to the left of the screen.
• Front Right speaker 1 to 2 metres to the right of the screen
Try to get all 3 front speakers to be in the same plane - the
same distance from the viewing position and at least 300mm
(12 inches) away from any back wall which may be present
behind the screen. Continue positioning the rear speakers
as follows:
This is a very important stage in setting up. Getting things
wrong at this stage is the most likely reason for disappointing
results when troubleshooting the system.
• Left Rear speaker 1 to 2 metres behind the viewing position
and to the left.
CONNECTING THE HTS SUBWOOFER
TO YOUR SYSTEM
• Right Rear speaker 1 to 2 metres behind the viewing
position and to the right.

If you are using the HTS system with equipment which does
not have a special subwoofer output, or, for simple 2 channel
stereo with additional subwoofer (2.1 operation) you can
connect the subwoofer using your amplifier's speaker output
terminals to provide speaker signal level feeds to the HTS
subwoofer 'SPEAKER LEVEL' inputs as follows:
• Switch the HTS subwoofer to ON and set the VOLUME
half way between MIN and MAX. Assess the bass signal
strength and adjust VOLUME accordingly.

The purpose of a subwoofer is to enhance the bass or low
frequencies but not to overpower the music or film dialogue.
The set up can be checked by using the noise signal calibration
facility in most 5.1 receivers/decoders. Using this noise signal
the HTS subwoofer will produce a low frequency sound a little
like a continuous distant thunderstorm. The noise signal
should be of the same loudness from all the speakers as the
test signal cycles round the system. Adust the individual
channels on the decoder to achieve this.
• Prepare 2 lengths of twin speaker cable. One from the
left channel amplifier output terminals to the subwoofer
and one from the right channel amplifier output terminals
to the subwoofer. These cables will provide the subwoofer
signal feeds and can be simple stranded twin core cable
(Class 2 insulation) as they will not be carrying any power,
only signals.

port plug can be fitted to the port for improved bass quality
and depth; for best quality reproduction with this type of
material the subwoofer CROSSOVER control should be set
between 50 and half way. For maximum impact with movies
the port plug should be removed and the CROSSOVER control
set to between half way and 200. Experiment for the best

The HTS subwoofer produces low frequency sounds only. It
is difficult to detect the location of low frequency sounds by
ear. The subwoofer can therefore be placed in any convenient
position in the room, but optimum performance will be gained
by locating the subwoofer somewhere between the front pair
of speakers. Low frequency output will increase when placed
next to a wall and especially so when placed in a corner, so
use the VOLUME control to compensate if moving your
subwoofer around the room. The phase of the subwoofer
may be changed between 0 & 180 degrees by operating the
switch on the back panel. In certain room positions the bass
quality may be improved by switching to 180°. This is best
checked by experimentation.
• At the subwoofer connect the left feed cable to the SPEAKER
LEVEL terminals marked + LEFT - and the right feed
cable to the terminals marked + RIGHT -
SUBWOOFER
• Do not switch the subwoofer on at this stage. Make sure
that the mains power switch on the subwoofer is set to
OFF by pushing the power switch rocker adjacent to the
OFF label and that the mains lead is not connected to
the wall socket.

• Set the HTX subwoofer VOLUME to MIN, PHASE SWITCH
to 0, CROSSOVER to half way between 50 and 200
(marker pointing vertically).
Additional features
The HTS subwoofer can be left permanently switched ON.
When a signal is present from the 5.1 decoder it will 'waken
up' and operate normally. When a signal is absent for
approximately 20 minutes it will go back to 'sleep mode' and
consume very little power. If you are not using your subwoofer
for long periods of time, for example going on holiday, then
switch to OFF and remove the power cable plug from the
mains outlet.
