Shelf Placement  
The surround back speakers should be placed against the rear wall  
directly behind the listeners, 3–6 feet (0.9m–1.8m) apart, 5–6 feet  
(1.5m–1.8m) off the floor.  
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.

NOTE: If you’re running the speaker wire through the wall, you can  
bring it out directly behind the wall-mount bracket’s location and insert  
it through the bottom opening in the wall portion of the wall-mount  
bracket, as shown in the illustration. Inserting it will keep the wire  
completely hidden from view once the installation is complete.

11. Fit the metal stop plate into the recess on the bottom of the  
wall-mount bracket with the pad facing the bracket, and  
fasten it to the bracket using two of the supplied  
screws. Fastening it will prevent the speaker from detaching  
from the wall-mount bracket and will hold the speaker in  
position as you rotate it on the wall-mount bracket.  
CAUTION: Before making speaker connections, be sure  
that your receiver or amplifier is turned OFF and,  
preferably, its AC cord is unplugged from the AC outlet.

Color-Coding System  
The HKTS30 SAT-2 uses the channel color-coding system established  
by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) to make setting up  
your home theater speaker system as easy as possible. The HKTS 30  
systems include speaker wires with colored bands on each end.  
Connecting HKTS 30SAT-2 Speakers with the  
Supplied Bases  
1. Remove the speaker’s base (see Shelf Placement, on page 3).  
2. Pass the speaker wire through the opening in the speaker’s  
base.  
3. Connect the speaker wire as described in Color-Coding System,  
opposite.

4. Reattach the speaker’s base, as shown in the illustration.  
Speakers and receivers/amplifiers have corresponding ( + ) and ( – )  
connection terminals. Most electronics manufacturers, including  
Harman Kardon, have been using 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.  
Each speaker wire included with your system has colored bands at  
both ends of the ( + ) conductor. 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, while the (–) terminal has no ribs.  
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 systems,  
connecting all of the speakers in your system correctly is very impor-  
tant for achieving the proper ambience and directionality of the sound  
coming from the speakers.  
To connect the speaker wire to the terminals on the speakers, 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.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the ( + ) and ( – ) bare wires do not  
touch each other or the other terminal. Touching wires can  
cause a short circuit that can damage your receiver or  
amplifier.

Troubleshooting  
If there is no sound from any of the speakers:  
• Check that the receiver/amplifier is on and a disc or other source is playing.  
• Make sure that all wires and connections between the receiver/amplifier  
and the speakers are connected properly.  
• Make sure that none of the speaker wires is frayed, cut or punctured.  
• Review the proper operation of your receiver/amplifier.  
If there is no sound coming from one speaker:  
• Check that the balance control on your receiver/amplifier is not set all the  
way to one channel.  
• Check your receiver/amplifier’s speaker setup procedure to make sure that  
the speaker in question has been enabled and its volume level has not been  
turned all the way down.  
• Make sure that all wires and connections between the receiver/amplifier  
and the speaker are connected properly.  
• Make sure that none of the speaker wires is frayed, cut or punctured.  
If there is no sound coming from the surround speakers:  
• Check your receiver/amplifier’s speaker setup procedure to make sure that  
the surround speakers have been enabled and their volume levels have not  
been turned all the way down.  
• Make sure that all wires and connections between the receiver/amplifier  
and the surround speakers are connected properly.  
• Make sure that none of the speaker wires is frayed, cut or punctured.  
• Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier and its surround-  
sound features.  
• Make sure that the movie or TV show you’re watching has been recorded in a  
surround-sound mode. If it has not, check to see if your receiver/amplifier  
has a different surround-sound mode that you can use.  
• Review the operation of your DVD player and the DVD jacket to make sure the  
DVD features the Dolby® Digital or DTS® surround-sound mode and that you  
have selected that mode using both the DVD player’s menu and the disc’s  
menu.  
If the system plays at low volumes but shuts off as volume is increased:  
• Make sure that all wires and connections between the receiver/amplifier  
and the speakers are connected properly.  
• Make sure that none of the speaker wires is frayed, cut or punctured.  
• If you’re using more than one pair of main speakers, check to be sure that  
you’re not operating the system below the receiver/amplifier’s minimum  
impedance requirements. If you're not sure sure how to check the  
impedance, ask your audio retailer.
