Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Harman Kardon HKS 4, with which you’re about to begin many years of listening enjoyment. The HKS 4 has been custom-designed to provide all the excite­ment and power of the cinema experience in your own living room.
The HKS 4 loudspeakers are suitable for upgrad­ing almost any 5.1 home theater system to 7.1 channels when used with a 7.1-channel receiver or processor and any necessary additional ampli­fiers.
To obtain maximum enjoyment from your new speakers, we urge you to take a few minutes to read through this manual. This will ensure that connections to your receiver or preamp/proces­sor and amplifier or other external devices are made properly. In addition, a few minutes spent learning the functions of understanding the setup options will enable you to take advantage of all the power and refinement the HKS 4 is able to deliver.
If you have any questions about this product, its installation or operation, please contact your dealer, the best local source of information.

The HKS 4 speakers are identical to the satellites in the Harman Kardon HKTS 11 system, and are designed to be used with the HKTS 11 in a com­plete 7.1-channel home theater. Color-coded speaker cables are included to facilitate installing the speakers in the surround back left and right positions.
Shelf stands and wall-mount brackets are includ­ed for the satellite speakers, and optional HTFS 2 floor stands are available separately from your Harman Kardon dealer.
