Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Harman Kardon® HKS 9 loudspeakers, with which you are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment.

The HKS 9 has been custom-designed to provide high-fidelity audio reproduction of your favorite music and movie selections. The HKS 9 loudspeakers are suitable for upgrading almost any 5.1 home theater system to 7.1 channels when used with a 7.1-channel receiver or processor and any necessary additional amplifiers.

To obtain maximum enjoyment from your new speakers, we urge you to take a few minutes to read through this manual. This will ensure that connections to your receiver or amplifier are made properly. In addition, a few minutes spent understanding the setup options will enable you to take advantage of all the power and refinement the HKS 9 is able to deliver.

If you have any questions about this product, its installation or operation, please contact your dealer, the best local source of information.

The HKS 9 is a pair of two-way satellite speakers for use in a home theater system. The HKS 9 speakers are identical to the satellites in the Harman Kardon HKTS 18 system, and are designed to be used with the HKTS 18 in a complete 7.1-channel home theater. Color-coded speaker cables are included to facilitate installing the speakers in the surround back left and right positions.

Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiver more than 50 years ago. The HKS 9 is a perfect complement to a Harman Kardon receiver or any home theater system.
