Thank you for purchasing a Harman Kardon CP 15 Home Theater System.
This Quick-Start Guide will help you with a basic system installation. For detailed
information on any step in this Guide, please refer to the pages referenced in
the Owner’s Manual for the AVR 135 that is part of this system. We strongly
recommend that you read all three Owner’s Manuals for complete details on
how to install, configure and operate the AVR 135, DVD 22 and HKTS 8, as
well as for the important safety information they contain. You should also read
the Owner’s Manual for the included RCP 2 system remote.
