Operation
Turning the Subwoofer On and Off
Set the HKTS200SUB’s Power Switch 7 to the ON position.
•If the Power On Mode Switch 3 is set to AUTO, the HKTS200SUB will
automatically turn itself on when it receives an audio signal, and it will go into
standby mode after it has received no audio signal for 15 minutes. The HKTS-
200SUB’s LED will glow white when the subwoofer is on, and will not be illumi-
nated when the subwoofer is in standby.
•IfthePower On Mode Switch 3 is set to ON, the HKTS200SUB will remain
on at all times. The HKTS200SUB’s LED will glow white.
•IftheExternal Trigger Input 4 is connected to a trigger voltage source, the
HKTS200SUB will turn on whenever a trigger voltage is present, and will turn
off after the trigger voltage ceases, regardless of the position of the Power On
Mode Switch 3.
If you will be away from home for an extended period of time, or if you will not be
using the subwoofer for an extended period, switch the Power Switch 7 to the
OFF Position.
Subwoofer Adjustments: Volume
Use the Subwoofer Level Control 0 to set the HKTS200SUB’s volume. Turn the
knob clockwise to increase the subwoofer’s volume; turn the knob counterclock-
wise to decrease the subwoofer’s volume.
Subwoofer Adjustments: Phase
The Phase Switch 2 determines whether the HKTS200SUB’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 satellites
could cancel out sound waves from the subwoofer, reducing bass performance
and sonic impact. This phenomenon depends in part on the placement of all the
speakers in the room.
Although in most cases the Phase Switch 2 should be left in the NORMAL
position, there is no absolutely correct setting for the Phase Switch 2. When
the HKTS200SUB is properly in phase with the satellite speakers, the audio will
be clearer, have maximum impact and make percussive sounds like drums, piano
and plucked strings sound more lifelike. The best way to set the Phase Switch
2
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.
Subwoofer Adjustments: Bass Boost
When set to the ON position, the Bass Boost Switch
1
enhances low-frequency
performance, resulting in bass with more impact, which you may prefer while
watching movies or listening to music. There is no harm in experimenting with this
control. Setting the switch to the OFF position will return normal low-frequency
performance.
