Introduction  
The HKTS 7 subwoofer is easy to connect to your  
system, since it’s equipped with a special sub-  
woofer input for use with equipment that has a  
dedicated subwoofer connection that carries a  
low-frequency output. It also includes stereo  
speaker-level inputs and outputs for connection  
to older receivers and processors that do not  
have a line-level subwoofer output. Other con-  
veniences include a level control, high-cut (low-  
pass) filter switch and phase switch for fine-tun-  
ing bass response to suit your listening environ-  
ment and taste, and an efficient switching sys-  
tem that senses the presence of an audio signal  
and automatically switches the unit from Stand-  
by mode to Active mode.

Line-Level Full-Range Inputs: Connect  
the line-level subwoofer output or preamp out-  
put(s) of your receiver or amplifier to these

subwoofer output, use a Y-adapter (not supplied)  
to bridge the receiver’s preamp output to the  
main amp input for that channel, and connect  
the long end of the adapter to the correspon-  
ding line-level input on the SUB-TS7. If your  
receiver has only a single subwoofer output, you  
may connect it to either the left or right line-  
level input on the SUB-TS7, and no Y-adapter is  
needed.  
Speaker-Level Outputs: If you are using  
the Speaker-Level Inputs on the SUB-TS7,

you should connect these binding-post terminals  
to your front left and right speakers, remember-  
ing to maintain polarity by connecting the (+)  
terminal on the SUB-TS7 subwoofer to the (+)  
terminal on the speaker, and the (–) terminal on  
the SUB-TS7 subwoofer to the (–) terminal on  
the speaker. If you are not using the Speaker-  
Level Inputs

and right speakers directly to your receiver or  
amplifier. See pages 9 through 12 for further  
information on speaker connections.

Speaker Placement  
Color-Coding System  
Center Channel Speaker  
Surround Speakers  
The HKTS 7 uses the channel color-coding  
system established by the Consumer Electronics  
Association 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.)

The center channel speaker should be placed  
slightly behind the front left and right speakers,  
and no more than two feet above or below the  
tweeters of the left and right speakers. It is often  
convenient to set the center speaker on top of  
the television set, as shown in the drawing.

The two surround speakers should be placed  
slightly behind the listening position and, ideally,  
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.  
The low-frequency material 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.  
Satellites and Surrounds  
The front speakers should be placed the same  
distance from each other as they are from the  
listening position. They should be placed at  
about the same height from the floor as the  
listeners’ ears will be, or they may be angled  
toward the listeners.  
The satellite speakers may be placed on a shelf.  
They may be wall-mounted using the supplied  
brackets.

Mounting Options  
The bracket has two openings on top: a round  
screw hole, and an arc-shaped opening in front  
of it. The speaker cable should be threaded  
through the arc-shaped opening, not the screw  
hole.  
Wall-Mounting for Satellites  
Wall-Mounting for the Center  
Speaker  
Remove the two black rubber patches from the  
bottom of the center speaker. Keep the patches  
in a safe place in case they are needed for a  
future installation.  
Unscrew the bolt that attaches the black shelf  
stand to the bottom of the speaker. Store the  
stand and bolt in a safe place in case they are  
needed for a future installation.  
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.  
The back of the bracket has two small round  
screw holes on each side, and a large opening  
for the cable.  
Thread the cable through the round opening in  
the terminal cover, and then insert the speaker  
wires into the terminals on the underside of the  
speaker, remembering to observe the correct  
polarity (see page 8).  
Wires to  
Speaker  
Remove  
Stand  
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 open-  
ing in the terminal cover.  
15mm  
or 1/2"  
Position the bracket in such a way that the large  
hole for the cable is in front of the hole in the  
wall that holds the cable. Thread the cable  
through the hole and fix the bracket on the wall.  
The mounting screws (not included; use size #8)  
may be installed directly into a wooden wall  
stud. If that is not possible, use optional wall  
anchors that are rated to support at least twen-  
ty-five pounds. The customer is responsible for  
proper selection and use of mounting hardware,  
available through hardware stores, to properly  
and safely wall-mount the center.  
Wall Plate  
Mount the wall-bracket attachment plate on the  
wall in the desired location.  
Wall Bracket  
If possible, position the speakers so that the  
mounting screws (not included; use size #8) may  
be installed directly into a wooden wall stud.  
If that is not possible, use optional wall anchors  
that are rated to support at least twenty-five  
pounds. The customer is responsible for  
proper selection and use of mounting  
hardware, available through hardware  
stores, to properly and safely wall-mount  
the speakers.  
Insert the appropriate center speaker wires into  
the terminals on the backside of the center,  
remembering to observe the correct polarity (see  
page 8). Place the center speaker on the wall-  
bracket and use the enclosed screws to fix the  
center speaker on the bracket from the bottom.  
Insert the supplied bracket bolt up through the  
bottom of the bracket and terminal cover, and  
screw it into the threaded insert on the under-  
side 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, which would not be covered by your war-  
ranty.  
Referring to the speaker connection instructions  
on pages 8 through 11, 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.  
Wires to Speaker

Speaker Connections  
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 program  
material.  
Speaker-Level Connection Guide  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before making speaker  
connections, be certain that your receiver or  
audio power amplifier is turned off and prefer-  
ably unplugged from its AC power source. The  
SUB-TS7 subwoofer should not be connected to  
an AC power source until all speaker wire  
connections have been made.  
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.  
Speakers and electronics terminals have  
corresponding (+) and (–) terminals. Most man-  
ufacturers of speakers and electronics, including  
Harman Kardon, use red to denote the (+)  
terminal and black for the (–) terminal.  
For the best performance, Harman Kardon  
recommends that the subwoofer be connected  
using either the Line-Level Subwoofer (SUB)  
Input  
Inputs  
4
5
or the Line-Level Full-Range  
. 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.  
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 7 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 6. 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. Wiring “out  
of phase” results in thin sound, weak bass and a  
poor stereo image.
