ENGLISH
Verify Line Voltage Before Using
Your HS 280/HS 210 receiver has been designed for use with 100 – 240 volt ~
50/60Hz AC power. Your HKTS200SUB subwoofer has been designed for use with
220 – 240 volt ~50/60Hz AC current. Connection to a line voltage other than that
for which the unit is intended can create a safety and fire hazard, and may damage
the unit. If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific
model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact your selling dealer before
plugging the unit into a wall outlet.
Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new receiver during shipment
were specially designed to cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest that you
save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping if you move or if the unit
ever needs repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it. You can do
it by carefully slitting the tape seams on the carton’s bottom and collapsing it. You
can store cardboard inserts in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be
collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.
If you do not wish to save the packaging materials, please note that the carton and
other sections of the shipping-protection materials are recyclable. Please respect the
environment and discard those materials at a local recycling center.
Remove the protective plastic film from the front-panel lens. Leaving the film in place
will affect the performance of your remote control.
Installation Location
To ensure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the
•
unit on a firm and level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain that
the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the product.
Provide proper space both above and below the unit for ventilation. If this product
•
will be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is
sufficient air movement within the cabinet. Under some circumstances, a fan may
be required.
•
Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.
Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, or in an area that is exposed
•
to direct sunlight or heating equipment.
Avoid moist or humid locations.
•
Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top and sides of the unit or place
•
objects directly over or next to them.
Due to the weight of the
•
HS 280/HS 210 receiver and the heat that its amplifier
generates, there is the remote possibility that the rubber padding on the bottom
of the unit’s feet may leave marks on certain wood or wood veneer materials.
Use caution when placing the unit on soft woods or other materials that heat or
heavy objects may damage. Some surface finishes may be particularly sensitive
to absorbing such marks, due to a variety of factors beyond Harman Kardon's
control, including the nature of the finish, cleaning materials used, normal heat
and vibration caused by the use of the product, or other factors. Exercise caution
in choosing an installation location for the component and in performing normal
maintenance practices, as your warranty will not cover this type of damage to
furniture.
Cleaning
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, and only
after unplugging the AC power cord, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild
soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe it dry immediately with a dry
cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile
cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of metal
parts. Avoid spraying insecticide near the unit.
Moving the Unit
Before moving the unit, disconnect any interconnection cords with other components,
and disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.

AC Power Input: After you have made and confirmed all other connections, plug the
supplied AC power cord into this input and into an unswitched AC outlet.
Speaker Outputs: Use the speaker wires supplied with the SAT TS60 speakers to
connect the satellite speakers to the proper terminals.
Be sure to connect the positive (+, colored red) connector on the speaker to the
positive (+, colored red and white) connector on the HS 280/HS 210, and the
negative (– , colored black) connectors on the speakers to the negative (–, colored
black) connectors on the HS 280/HS 210. See Connecting the Satellite Speakers, on
page 14, for more information about making connections.
Coaxial Digital Inputs: Connect the coaxial digital output of an audio-only source
component here. The signal may be a Dolby Digital bitstream or a standard PCM
digital audio bitstream.
NOTE: Use only one type of digital connection for each source component.
Optical Digital Inputs: Connect the optical digital output of an audio-only source
component here. The signal may be a Dolby Digital bitstream or a standard PCM
digital audio bitstream.
NOTE: Use only one type of digital connection for each source component.
Coaxial Digital Output: Connect this output to the coaxial digital input of a digital
recording device such as a CD-R or MiniDisc recorder.
Sub Trigger Output: Use the black mini-cable connector of the supplied
combination LFE and trigger cable to connect this jack to the HKTS200SUB
subwoofer’s External Trigger Input. See Connecting the Subwoofer, on page 15, for
more details about making connections.
Whenever the HS 280/HS 210 is turned on, it will send a trigger signal that will turn
the subwoofer’s amplifier on. Turning the HS 280/HS 210 off removes the trigger
signal, and the subwoofer’s amplifier will turn off. (This change will occur even when
the subwoofer’s Power On Mode switch – see page 9 – is in the Auto position.)

Subwoofer Output: Use the LFE (purple) connector of the supplied combination LFE
and trigger cable to connect this jack to the HKTS200SUB subwoofer’s Line-Level In
LFE jack. See Connecting the Subwoofer, on page 15, for more details about making
connections.
Ethernet Port: Connect this port to your local area network (LAN) using a CAT 5 RJ45
network cable. See Connecting to a Local Area Network (LAN), on page 17, for details.
Line Outputs: Use the Line Outputs to connect to an audio-only recorder, such as a
CD-R recorder or tape deck.
USB 2.0 Port: Gently insert a flash drive, card reader, digital camera or other USB
device, or a USB Standard-A cable connected to a USB device, to this port.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT connect a PC or other USB host/controller to this port, or you
may damage both the HS 280/HS 210 and the other device. Orient the device’s plug
so it fits all the way into the HS 280/HS 210’s USB connector. You may insert or remove
the device at any time – there is no installation or ejection procedure.
The HS 280/HS 210 can display JPEG-format still-image files stored on the device and
can also play MP3 and Windows Media® Audio (WMA) files and MPEG4 and AVI video
files that are stored on the device.
Line 1 Input/Line 2 Inputs: Use these inputs to connect to an audio-only source
component (such as a tape deck). Do not connect a turntable to these jacks without a
phono preamp.
HDMI Output (HDMI version 1.2): If your video display is HDMI-capable, connect
it to the HS 280/HS 210’s HDMI output for improved video performance. Since the
HDMI cable transmits both video and audio to the video display, we recommend that
you disable your display’s HDMI audio function to take full advantage of the HS 280/
HS 210 system’s superior audio performance (See page 19).
IMPORTANT: The HS 280/HS 210 is in compliance with HDCP (High-Definition Copy
Protection). A video display must also be HDCP-compliant to be used with the HS 280/
HS 210’s HDMI output. For best results, we do not recommend HDMI connections in
excess of ten feet without a repeater. If your video display has a DVI input, you may
use an optional HDMI-to-DVI cable or adapter for the video connection to the display.
(The DVI connection is video-only.)

Remote Control Input/Output: If the HS 280/HS 210’s front-panel IR sensor is
blocked, such as when it is placed inside of a cabinet, connect an external IR receiver
(such as the Harman Kardon HE 1000 – not included) to the Remote Control In
connector. You can then place the external IR receiver in a location where it can
receive the signals from the HS 280/HS 210 remote control.
You can connect the HS 280/HS 210’s Remote Control Out connector to the remote IR
input of a compatible device, allowing it to be controlled through the HS 280/HS 210
(and through an external IR receiver, if connected). You can even connect several such
compatible devices together in “daisy-chain” fashion.
SCART Connection: Connect it to a compatible TV or set-top box using the included
SCART cable. The SCART cable carries composite (CVBS) video or S-Video from the
HS 280/HS 210 to a TV or set-top box (as well as a control signal for automatically
controlling picture aspect ratio and other parameters). It also carries stereo audio
from the TV or set-top box back to the HS 280/HS 210.
Composite-Video Output: Connect it to the composite-video input of a TV or video
projector.
S-Video Output: Connect it to the S-Video input of a TV or video projector.
FM Antenna Connection: Connect the supplied FM antenna to this terminal.

Subwoofer Level Control: Use this control to adjust the HKTS200SUB subwoofer’s
volume. Turn clockwise to increase the volume; turn counterclockwise to decrease the
volume.
Bass Boost Switch: Set this switch to On to enhance the subwoofer’s low-frequency
performance. Set this switch to Off for normal low-frequency performance.
Phase Switch: This switch determines whether the subwoofer driver’s piston-like
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 from the satellite
speakers could cancel out the sound waves from the subwoofer, reducing bass
performance and sonic impact. This phenomenon depends in part on the relative
placement of all the speakers in the room.
Although in most cases the Phase Switch should be left in the Normal position, there
is no absolutely correct setting for it. When the subwoofer is properly in phase with
the satellite speakers, the sound will be clearer and have maximum impact. It will
make percussive sounds like drums, piano and plucked strings sound more lifelike.
The best way to set the Phase Switch is to listen to music that you know well and set
the switch in the position that gives drums and other percussive sounds maximum
impact.
Power On Mode Switch: When this switch is set in the Auto position and when the
Power switch is set to On, the HKTS200SUB will automatically turn itself On whenever
it receives an audio signal. It will enter the standby mode if it receives no audio
signal for 20 minutes. When the Power On Mode switch is set in the On position, the
subwoofer will remain on whether or not it is receiving an audio signal.
An LED on the subwoofer’s top panel indicates whether the subwoofer is in the on or
standby mode:
When the LED is illuminated white, the subwoofer is turned on.
•
When the LED is not illuminated, the subwoofer is in standby mode.
•
When the Power switch is set to Off, the LED will not be illuminated, no matter what
setting the Power On Mode switch is in.
External Trigger Input Connector: Use the mini-plug of the supplied combination
LFE and trigger cable to connect the External Trigger Input to the trigger output
of another compatible component. Whenever the subwoofer detects a trigger
signal between 3V and 30V (AC or DC), the subwoofer’s amplifier will turn on. The
subwoofer’s amplifier will turn off after the trigger signal ceases. (This change will
occur even when the Power On Mode switch is in the Auto position.)
Line-Level In LFE Connector: Use the LFE (purple) connector of the supplied
combination LFE and trigger cable to connect the Line-Level In LFE connector to the
dedicated subwoofer output of a receiver or preamp/processor. This input bypasses
the subwoofer’s internal crossover circuitry, so use it only with a subwoofer output
that is low-pass filtered. (Check the receiver or preamp/processor’s documentation
to confirm that its subwoofer output is low-pass filtered.) If your receiver or preamp/
processor does not have a dedicated subwoofer output that is low-pass filtered, use
the subwoofer’s Line-Level In L/R connectors instead.
Line-Level In L/R Connectors: Use these connectors if your receiver or preamp/
processor does not have digital surround-sound decoding or a low-pass-filtered
subwoofer output.
If your receiver or preamp/processor has a separate subwoofer output, use the
•
LFE (purple) connector of the supplied combination LFE and trigger cable to
connect the receiver or preamp/processor’s subwoofer output to either one of the
subwoofer’s Line-Level In L/R connectors.
If your receiver or preamp/processor does not have a separate subwoofer output,
•
use two Y-adapters (not supplied). Connect one adapter’s single end to the unit’s
preamp output for that channel. Connect one of this adapter’s dual ends to the
main amp input for that channel, and connect the adapter’s other dual end to
one of the subwoofer’s Line-Level In L/R Connectors. Repeat this process with the
other Y-adapter, the preamp channel, the main amp input and the subwoofer’s
other Line-Level In L/R connector.
Power Switch: Set this switch in the On position to turn the subwoofer on. The
subwoofer will then either be on or in Standby mode, depending on the setting of the
subwoofer’s Power On Mode switch.
AC Power Cord: After you have made and verified all subwoofer and speaker
connections described in this manual, plug the Power Cord into an active, unswitched
electrical outlet (that is, an outlet not connected to a light switch) for proper
operation of the subwoofer. DO NOT plug this cord into the accessory outlets found in
some audio components.
