You can place the HKTS 30SAT-2 speakers on shelves. The satellite speakers have built-in bases for shelf placement. You can also remove the bases if you desire.

To remove a speaker’s base, pull it straight off the speaker, as shown in the illustration. Applying even pressure to both sides of the base will allow it to slide off smoothly.

Wall-Mounting

IMPORTANT: Read the Speaker Connections section, on page 5, before wall-mounting the HKTS 30SAT-2 speakers. You will need to insert the speaker wires through the wall- mount brackets and connect the wires to the speakers during the process of installing the wall-mount brackets.

NOTE: If you are using your own speaker wire, it must be no thicker than the wire supplied with the speakers. Thicker wire will prevent the wall-mount bracket from sliding onto the speaker.

1.Decide on the location for the speaker (see Speaker Placement, opposite).

2.Remove the speaker’s base as explained in

Shelf Placement, above.

Pull sections

	If original surround speakers
	are behind listeners, move them
	to a point to directly at
	listeners' sides
Surround Back	Surround Back
Left Speaker	Right Speaker

NOTE: If your original surround speakers are located behind the listeners, you should move them up so they are directly to the listeners’ sides.

If You’re Adding to an Existing HKTS 30 Speaker System:

Your HKTS 30SAT-2 speakers are designed to expand an exist- ing HKTS 30 speaker system from 5.1 channels to 7.1 channels. You can connect the HKTS 30SAT-2 speakers to your receiver’s or amplifier’s surround back left and surround back right outputs.

If You’re Adding to an Existing HKTS 20 Speaker System:

Your HKTS 30SAT-2 speakers are designed to expand an exist- ing HKTS20 speaker system from 5.1 channels to 7.1 channels by replacing the existing front left and front right speakers. You can then connect your existing HKTS20 front left and front right speakers to your receiver’s or amplifier’s surround back left and surround back right outputs.

3.Disassemble the wall-mount bracket by sliding the two sections apart, as shown in the illustration.

4.Attach the wall portion of the wall-mount bracket onto the wall using hardware that is appropriate for the wall’s construction and materials. We recommend first anchor- ing the wall-mount bracket using its keyhole, then attaching it with another anchor through its top opening, as shown in the illustration. Note that the HKTS 30SAT-2 speakers weigh 3.3 lb (1.5kg). Be sure to use hardware that can support this weight.
