Operating Instructions

Operation

Turning the Subwoofer On and Off

Set the HKTS200SUB’s Power Switch 7 to the ON position.

•If the Power On Mode Switch 3 is set to AUTO, the HKTS200SUB will automatically turn itself on when it receives an audio signal, and it will go into standby mode after it has received no audio signal for 15 minutes. The HKTS- 200SUB’s LED will glow white when the subwoofer is on, and will not be illumi- nated when the subwoofer is in standby.

•If the Power On Mode Switch 3 is set to ON, the HKTS200SUB will remain on at all times. The HKTS200SUB’s LED will glow white.

•If the External Trigger Input 4 is connected to a trigger voltage source, the HKTS200SUB will turn on whenever a trigger voltage is present, and will turn off after the trigger voltage ceases, regardless of the position of the Power On Mode Switch 3.

If you will be away from home for an extended period of time, or if you will not be using the subwoofer for an extended period, switch the Power Switch 7 to the OFF Position.

Subwoofer Adjustments: Volume

Use the Subwoofer Level Control 0 to set the HKTS200SUB’s volume. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the subwoofer’s volume; turn the knob counterclock- wise to decrease the subwoofer’s volume.

Subwoofer Adjustments: Phase

The Phase Switch 2 determines whether the HKTS200SUB’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 satellites could cancel out sound waves from the subwoofer, reducing bass performance and sonic impact. This phenomenon depends in part on the placement of all the speakers in the room.

Although in most cases the Phase Switch 2 should be left in the NORMAL position, there is no absolutely correct setting for the Phase Switch 2. When the HKTS200SUB is properly in phase with the satellite speakers, the audio will be clearer, have maximum impact and make percussive sounds like drums, piano and plucked strings sound more lifelike. The best way to set the Phase Switch

2is to listen to music that you know well and set the switch in the position that gives drums and other percussive sounds maximum impact.

Subwoofer Adjustments: Bass Boost

When set to the ON position, the Bass Boost Switch 1 enhances low-frequency performance, resulting in bass with more impact, which you may prefer while watching movies or listening to music. There is no harm in experimenting with this control. Setting the switch to the OFF position will return normal low-frequency performance.
