Wireless Subwoofer HKTS 220 SUB Owner’s Manual 2 HKTS 220 SUB Introduction, Included Items and Subwoofer Rear-Panel Controls Introduction Thank you for choosing this Harman Kardon product! Your new Harman Kardon HKTS 220 SUB 200-watt powered wireless subwoofer incorporates an 8" (200mm) down-firing cone transducer and a built-in, high- performance, 200-watt amplifier that delivers the powerful, dynamic and accurate low- frequency performance that makes your film soundtracks and music come alive. The subwoofer receives its audio signal from the transmitter module via wireless technology, so you can place it anywhere in your room without having to run an audio cable. And to maximize connection flexibility, the subwoofer also features wired connections. We’re confident that this Harman Kardon subwoofer will provide every note of enjoyment that you expect – and that when you think about purchasing additional audio equipment, you will once again choose Harman Kardon products. This owner’s manual contains all the information you need to set up, connect and adjust your new subwoofer. For more in-depth information, go to our Web site:www. harmankardon.com.

If the subwoofer were to play out of phase with the satellite speakers, the sound waves from the satellites could cancel out some of the subwoofer’s sound waves, reducing bass performance and sonic impact. This phenomenon depends in part on the placement of all the speakers in the room. In most cases, the Phase switch should be left in the “Normal” position. However, it does no harm to experiment, and you can leave the Phase switch in the position that maximizes bass response and impact. 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. Power On Mode switch: When this switch is set in the “Auto” position and when the Power switch is set to “On,” the subwoofer will automatically turn itself on when it receives an audio signal and will enter the standby mode after it has received no audio signal for about 15 minutes. When this 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 state: s฀฀7HEN฀THE฀,%$฀GLOWS฀WHITE ฀THE฀SUBWOOFER฀IS฀TURNED฀ON s฀฀7HEN฀ THE฀ ,%$฀ IS฀ NOT฀ ILLUMINATED ฀ THE฀ SUBWOOFER฀ IS฀ IN฀ THE฀ STANDBY฀ MODE฀7HEN฀ THE฀ Power switch is set to “Off,” the LED will not be illuminated, no matter what setting the Power On Mode switch is in. Subwoofer Level control: Use this control to adjust the subwoofer’s volume. Turn clockwise to increase the volume; turn counterclockwise to decrease the volume. Input Mode switch: When this switch is in the “Normal” setting, the input signal from the Line-Level L/R In connectors is active. When this switch is in the “LFE” setting, the input signal from the Line-Level LFE In connector is active. External Trigger Input connector: Use the mini plug of the supplied combination LFE and trigger cable to connect the External Trigger Input connector to the trigger output of another compatible component. Whenever the subwoofer detects a trigger signal between 3V and 30V (AC or DC), its amplifier will turn on. The amplifier will turn off after the trigger signal ceases, even when the Power On Mode switch is in the “Auto” position. Line-Level LFE In connector: The signal from this connector bypasses the subwoofer’s internal low-pass crossover. When you’re connecting the subwoofer to the dedicated subwoofer output of a receiver/processor that has its own low-pass crossover network, use the Line-Level LFE In connector. You must also set the subwoofer’s Input Mode switch in the “LFE” position. Line-Level L/R In connectors: The signals from these connectors pass through the subwoofer’s internal low-pass crossover. When you’re connecting the subwoofer to the preamp or subwoofer outputs of a receiver/processor that does not have its own low-pass crossover network, use both Line-Level L/R In connectors. You must also set the Input Mode switch in the “Normal” position. If your receiver/processor has only one subwoofer output, you can use either the L or R connector. Wireless Code switch: This switch selects between four different channels for the wireless subwoofer signal. IMPORTANT: Be sure to set the subwoofer’s Wireless Code switch to the same channel that you set the transmitter module's Wireless Code switch. See Wireless Code Switches, on page 6, for more information. Power switch: Set this switch in the “On” position to turn the subwoofer on. The subwoofer will then be either on or in the standby mode, depending on the setting of the Power On Mode switch. Power Cord (non-detachable): After you have made and verified all the connections described in this manual, plug this cord into an active, unswitched electrical outlet for proper operation of the subwoofer. DO NOT plug this cord into the accessory outlets found in some audio components. Transmitter Unit Power connector: Plug the transmitter power supply into this connector and into a working AC outlet. Wireless Code switch: This switch selects between f…
