ENGLISH

Remote Control Input/Output: If the HS 280/HS 210’s front-panel IR sensor is

blocked, such as when it is placed inside of a cabinet, connect an external IR receiver

(such as the Harman Kardon HE 1000 – not included) to the Remote Control In

connector. You can then place the external IR receiver in a location where it can

receive the signals from the HS 280/HS 210 remote control.

You can connect the HS 280/HS 210’s Remote Control Out connector to the remote IR

input of a compatible device, allowing it to be controlled through the HS 280/HS 210

(and through an external IR receiver, if connected). You can even connect several such

compatible devices together in “daisy-chain” fashion.

SCART Connection: Connect it to a compatible TV or set-top box using the included

SCART cable. The SCART cable carries composite (CVBS) video or S-Video from the

HS 280/HS 210 to a TV or set-top box (as well as a control signal for automatically

controlling picture aspect ratio and other parameters). It also carries stereo audio

from the TV or set-top box back to the HS 280/HS 210.

Composite-Video Output: Connect it to the composite-video input of a TV or video

projector.

S-Video Output: Connect it to the S-Video input of a TV or video projector.

FM Antenna Connection: Connect the supplied FM antenna to this terminal.

Subwoofer Level Control: Use this control to adjust the HKTS200SUB subwoofer’s

volume. Turn clockwise to increase the volume; turn counterclockwise to decrease the

volume.

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.

Phase Switch: This switch determines whether the subwoofer driver’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 satellite

speakers could cancel out the sound waves from the subwoofer, reducing bass

performance and sonic impact. This phenomenon depends in part on the relative

placement of all the speakers in the room.

Although in most cases the Phase Switch should be left in the Normal position, there

is no absolutely correct setting for it. When the subwoofer is properly in phase with

the satellite speakers, the sound will be clearer and have maximum impact. It will

make percussive sounds like drums, piano and plucked strings sound more lifelike.

The best way to set the Phase Switch is to listen to music that you know well and set

the switch in the position that gives drums and other percussive sounds maximum

impact.

Power On Mode Switch: When this switch is set in the Auto position and when the

Power switch is set to On, the HKTS200SUB will automatically turn itself On whenever

it receives an audio signal. It will enter the standby mode if it receives no audio

signal for 20 minutes. When the Power On Mode 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 mode:

When the LED is illuminated white, the subwoofer is turned on.

•

When the LED is not illuminated, the subwoofer is in standby mode.

•

When the Power switch is set to Off, the LED will not be illuminated, no matter what

setting the Power On Mode switch is in.

External Trigger Input Connector: Use the mini-plug of the supplied combination

LFE and trigger cable to connect the External Trigger Input to the trigger output

of another compatible component. Whenever the subwoofer detects a trigger

signal between 3V and 30V (AC or DC), the subwoofer’s amplifier will turn on. The

subwoofer’s amplifier will turn off after the trigger signal ceases. (This change will

occur even when the Power On Mode switch is in the Auto position.)

Line-Level In LFE Connector: Use the LFE (purple) connector of the supplied

combination LFE and trigger cable to connect the Line-Level In LFE connector to the

dedicated subwoofer output of a receiver or preamp/processor. This input bypasses

the subwoofer’s internal crossover circuitry, so use it only with a subwoofer output

that is low-pass filtered. (Check the receiver or preamp/processor’s documentation

to confirm that its subwoofer output is low-pass filtered.) If your receiver or preamp/

processor does not have a dedicated subwoofer output that is low-pass filtered, use

the subwoofer’s Line-Level In L/R connectors instead.

Line-Level In L/R Connectors: Use these connectors if your receiver or preamp/

processor does not have digital surround-sound decoding or a low-pass-filtered

subwoofer output.

If your receiver or preamp/processor has a separate subwoofer output, use the

•

LFE (purple) connector of the supplied combination LFE and trigger cable to

connect the receiver or preamp/processor’s subwoofer output to either one of the

subwoofer’s Line-Level In L/R connectors.

If your receiver or preamp/processor does not have a separate subwoofer output,

•

use two Y-adapters (not supplied). Connect one adapter’s single end to the unit’s

preamp output for that channel. Connect one of this adapter’s dual ends to the

main amp input for that channel, and connect the adapter’s other dual end to

one of the subwoofer’s Line-Level In L/R Connectors. Repeat this process with the

other Y-adapter, the preamp channel, the main amp input and the subwoofer’s

other Line-Level In L/R connector.

Power Switch: Set this switch in the On position to turn the subwoofer on. The

subwoofer will then either be on or in Standby mode, depending on the setting of the

subwoofer’s Power On Mode switch.

AC Power Cord: After you have made and verified all subwoofer and speaker

connections described in this manual, plug the Power Cord into an active, unswitched

electrical outlet (that is, an outlet not connected to a light switch) for proper

operation of the subwoofer. DO NOT plug this cord into the accessory outlets found in

some audio components.
