Harman Kardon® HKTS 60 Included
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Harman Kardon® HKTS 60 speaker system, with which
you’re about to begin many years of listening enjoyment. The HKTS 60 has been custom
designed to provide all the excitement and power of the cinema experience in your own
living room.
While sophisticated electronics and state-of-the-art speaker components are hard at
work within the HKTS 60, hookup and operation are simple. Color-keyed cables and
connections, and simple controls make the HKTS 60 easy to use.
To obtain maximum enjoyment from your new home theater speaker system, we urge
you to take a few minutes to read through this manual. This will help ensure that the
connections you make to your receiver (or preamp/processor), amplifier and other devices
are correct. In addition, a few minutes spent learning the functions of the various controls
will enable you to take advantage of all the power and refinement the HKTS 60 is able to
deliver.
If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation, please
contact your dealer, the best local source of information.
Description and Features
The HKTS 60 is a complete six-piece home theater speaker system that includes:
An 8-inch, 200-watt powered subwoofer
•
Four identical two-way video-shielded dual-driver satellite speakers for the left and
•
right front, and left and right rear (surround) speaker positions
A dedicated, voice-matched, video-shielded, dual-driver center speaker
•
Removable bases and wall-mount brackets for the satellite speakers and a wall-
•
mount bracket for the center speaker
All of the cables you need to connect all of the speakers to your receiver or preamp/
•
processor and amplifier.
The speaker cables all use a color-coding system to conform to the Consumer Electronics
Association (CEA) standard. This color-coding system minimizes confusion when
connecting the speakers, especially when you are connecting them to a Harman Kardon
receiver.
The HKTS200SUB subwoofer is equipped with a special LFE input that simplifies
connection to receivers and preamp/processors with dedicated subwoofer outputs that
carry low-frequency signals. Other conveniences include a level control, a phase switch for
fine-tuning bass response to suit your listening environment and taste, and an efficient
switching system that senses the presence of an audio signal and automatically switches
the subwoofer from standby mode to on.
Wall-mount brackets are included for the satellite and center speakers, and shelf stands
are included for the satellite speakers. Optional HKFS3 floorstands are available separately
from your Harman Kardon dealer. Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiver fifty
years ago. With state-of-the-art features and time-honored circuit designs, the HKTS 60 is
a perfect complement to a Harman Kardon receiver, or any home theater system.
Four satellite speakers for front left/right and surround left/right
One powered subwoofer
One wall-mount bracket for
center speaker
Four wall-mount brackets for satellite
speakers
Four metal stop plates and screws
(for satellite speaker wall-mount brackets)
One combination LFE and trigger cable for
connection to the subwoofer
(LFE cable has purple connectors)
One 4-meter (13.1-foot) speaker cable for
center speaker (green color bands)
Two 5-meter (16.4-foot) speaker cables for
front satellites (red and white color bands)
One center speaker
ENGLISH
Two 10-meter (32.8-foot) speaker cables for
rear satellites
(gray and blue color bands)

HKTS200SUB Rear-Panel Connections
.
Subwoofer Level Control:
Use this control to adjust the HKTS200SUB’s volume. Turn
clockwise to increase the volume; turn counterclockwise to decrease the volume.
1.
Bass Boost Switch:
Set this switch to ON to enhance the HKTS200SUB’s low-
frequency performance. Set this switch to OFF for normal low-frequency
performance.
2.
Phase Switch:
The Phase Switch 2 determines whether the HKTS200SUB’s pistonlike action moves in and out in phase with the satellite speakers. If the subwoofer
were to play out of phase with the satellite speakers, the sound waves produced by
the subwoofer could be canceled out, reducing bass performance and sonic impact.
This phenomenon depends in part on the relative placement of all the speakers in the
room. In most cases the Phase Switch
2
should be left in the NORMAL position.
However, it does no harm to experiment, and you can leave the Phase Switch
the position that maximizes bass response and impact.

is set to ON, the HKTS200SUB will automatically turn itself on when it

HKTS200SUB will remain on whether or not it is receiving an audio signal.
An LED on the HKTS200SUB’s top panel indicates whether the subwoofer is in the on
or standby state:
• When the LED is illuminated white, the HKTS200SUB is turned on.
• When the LED is not illuminated, the HKTS200SUB is in standby mode.

Line-Level LFE In Connector:
Use the LFE (purple) connector of the supplied
combination LFE and trigger cable to connect the Line-Level LFE In to the dedicated
subwoofer output of a receiver or preamp/processor. This input bypasses the
HKTS200SUB’s internal crossover circuitry, so it should only be used with a subwoofer
output that has been low-pass filtered. If your receiver or preamp/processor does
not have a dedicated subwoofer output that is low-pass filtered you should use the

either one of the HKTS200SUB’s Line-Level L/R In Connectors.
• If your receiver or preamp/processor does not have a separate subwoofer output,
use two Y-adapters (not supplied). Connect an adapter’s single end to the unit’s
preamp output for that channel. Connect one of the adapter’s dual ends to the main
amp input for that channel, and connect the adapter’s other dual end to one of the
HKTS200SUB’s Line-Level L/R In Connectors. Repeat with the other Y-adapter,
preamp channel, main amp input and HKTS200SUB Line-Level L/R In Connector.

Power Switch:
Set this switch in the ON position to turn the HKTS200SUB on. The
subwoofer will then either be on or in standby mode, depending on the setting of the

After you have made and verified all subwoofer
and speaker connections described in this manual, plug this cord into an active,
unswitched electrical outlet for proper operation of the HKTS200SUB. DO NOT plug this
cord into the accessory outlets found in some audio components.
