Harman Kardon HKTS 2 MkII Owners Manual - Page 6

Speaker Placement Color-Coding System The HKTS 2 uses the channel color-coding system established by the Consumer Electronics Association to make setting up your home theater speaker system as easy as possible. Your system includes a set of colored stickers that may be placed near the speaker terminals of each of the two satellite speakers according to the key below. (The powered subwoofer is already color-coded for you.) Speaker Position Front Left Front Right Subwoofer (LFE) Sticker (or Terminal) and Cable Color White Red Purple Front Speakers White Red Subwoofer White Red Purple Satellites The low-frequency material reproduced by the subwoofer is mostly omnidirectional, and this speaker may be placed in a convenient location in the room. However, the best reproduction of bass will be heard when the subwoofer is placed in a corner along the same wall as the front speakers. Experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily placing the subwoofer in the listening position and moving around the room until the bass reproduction is best. Place the subwoofer in that location. The satellite speakers may be placed on a shelf. The front speakers should be placed the same distance from each other as they are from the listening position. They should be placed at about the same height from the floor as the listeners' ears will be, or they may be angled toward the listeners. They may be wall-mounted using the supplied brackets. 6 SPEAKER PLACEMENT
