1.Decide on the location for the speaker.

2.Attach the center speaker wall-mount bracket to the wall using hardware that is appropriate for the wall’s construction and materials. Attach the anchors through the holes shown in the illustration.

Use These Holes to Attach Bracket

to Wall

NOTE: The center speaker weighs 3.3 lb (1.5kg). Be sure to use hardware that can support this weight.

CAUTION: Before making speaker connections, be sure that your receiver or ampli- fier is turned OFF and its AC cord is unplugged from the AC power source.

3.Connect the speaker wire to the speaker terminals. Press down on the top of the terminal to open the connection hole, insert the wire’s bare end all the way into the hole and release the terminal to secure the wire. Insert the conductor with the colored band into the speaker’s red ( + ) terminal, and insert the other conductor into the speaker’s black ( – ) terminal, as shown in the illustration.

CAUTION: Before making speaker connections, be sure that your receiver or amplifier is turned OFF and its AC cord is unplugged from the AC power outlet.

Speakers and receivers/amplifiers have corresponding ( + ) and ( – ) connec- tion terminals. Most electronics manufacturers, including Harman Kardon, use red to denote the ( + ) terminal and black for the ( – ) terminal. Newer Harman Kardon receivers conform to the CEA standard and therefore use a color other than red to denote the ( + ) terminal for some speaker positions. See the table in Color-Coding System, on page 4.

Each speaker wire included with your system has colored bands at both ends of the ( + ) conductor, and the subwoofer cable has purple connectors that correspond to the color of the HKTS200SUB’s LFE jack. This system helps ensure that the speaker in each location is connected to the correct receiver or amplifier terminals. In addition to the colored bands at each end, each speaker wire’s ( + ) terminal has ribs molded into its insulation to help you identify it.

It is very important to connect each speaker identically: ( + ) on the speaker to ( + ) on the receiver or amplifier, and ( – ) on the speaker to ( – ) on the receiver or amplifier. Miswiring one or more speakers results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image. With the advent of multichannel surround-sound sys- tems, connecting all of the speakers in your system correctly is very important to achieving the proper ambience and directionality of the program material.

To connect the speaker wire to the terminals on the satellite and center speak- ers, press down on the top of the terminal to open the connection hole, insert the wire’s bare end all the way into the hole, and release the terminal to secure the wire. Insert the conductor with the colored band into the speaker’s red ( + ) terminal, and insert the other conductor into the speaker’s black ( – ) terminal, as shown in the illustration.
