Harman kardon HK195 User Manual

Harman Kardon HK195 Speakers

USAGE GUIDELINES

Please read the following operating precautions before use:

• To prevent the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover (or back). There are no user-serviceable

parts inside this unit.

• Use only the AC power adapter designed specifically for the HK195 speakers.

• The AC power adapter receives power as long as it is connected to the electrical outlet, even if the

HK195 power switch is turned off. Always remove the AC power adapter from the electrical outlet
before inspecting the adapter.

• When disconnecting the AC power adapter from an electrical outlet, grasp and pull the adapter, not the

cord.

• If the HK195 speakers are not going to be used for a period of time, disconnect the AC power adapter

from the electrical outlet.

• Always disconnect the AC power adapter from the electrical outlet before making any speaker

connections.

• Place the HK195 speakers on a stable, level surface. Do not drop them, apply excessive force to the

controls, or put heavy items on top of them.

• If the HK195 speakers require cleaning, use a soft cloth. If necessary, use a damp cloth, but no

solvents.

• To protect the HK195 speakers, avoid microphone feedback, continuous output from electronic musical

instruments, or distorted output from any signal source.

• If the HK195 speakers are placed near a fluorescent light source or neon light fixtures, a hum in the

speakers may be heard. Relocate the HK195 speakers farther from the fixtures to reduce or eliminate
the noise.

• Although the HK195 speakers are magnetically shielded, keep magnetic media (discs and tapes) at

least 4 inches from them to avoid data loss.

SUBWOOFER OUTPUT JACK

• Under a rubber plug, on the main (control) satellite, there is a line-level subwoofer output jack. Remove
the plug and insert a cable, mini-phono stereo (3.5mm) to whatever the input cable connection is on the
subwoofer, whether it’s another mini-phono stereo jack, or dual RCA’s.

• The subwoofer output is a full-range signal, so it could be hooked up to a subwoofer or to another
external amplifier.

Harman Kardon HK195 Speakers (cont’d)

To connect the speakers, follow these steps:

1. Position the speakers on each side of the monitor. Place the speaker with the controls on the
right side of the monitor.

2. Connect the cable from the left speaker to the white jack on the back of the right speaker.

3. Connect the cable with the green plug from the right speaker to the green jack on the back of
the computer.

4. Plug the black plug of the AC adapter into the black jack on the back of the right speaker, and
then plug the AC adapter into into the electrical outlet.

NOTE: The subwoofer jack on the back of the right speaker can be used to connect the HK195
speakers to a powered subwoofer. No subwoofer is included with this system, and Dell does
not support using subwoofers with Harman Kardon speakers.
