Speaker Placement Expanding a 5.1-Channel System to a 7.1-Channel System 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. Surround Back Right Speaker Surround Back Left Speaker 3 - 6 ft (0.9m - 1.8m) 5 - 6 ft (1.5m - 1.8m) Mounting Options for HKTS 30SAT-2 Speakers Shelf Placement Apply pressure evenly to both sides of base 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. Lift base straight off speaker 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 wallmount brackets and connect the wires to the speakers during the process of installing the wall-mount brackets. Pull sections apart Front Left TV Speaker Center Speaker Front Right Speaker Subwoofer Surround Left Speaker Surround Right Speaker 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 existing 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 existing 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. 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. 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 anchoring 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. Top opening Keyhole opening Bottom opening 3
