HKTS 60BQ
Connections
0 Subwoofer Level Control: Use this control to adjust the HKTS200SUB’s
volume. Turn clockwise to increase the volume; turn counterclockwise
to decrease the volume.
1 Bass Boost Switch: Set this switch to ON to enhance the HKTS200SUB’s
low-frequency performance. Set this switch to OFF for normal low-frequency
performance.
2 Phase Switch: This switch 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 some of the subwoofer’s sound waves, reducing bass performance and sonic
impact. This phenomenon depends in part on the placement of all the speakers in the
room. In most cases the Phase Switch 2 should be left in the NORMAL position.
However, it does no harm to experiment, and you can leave the Phase Switch 2 in the
position that maximizes bass response and impact.

Power On Mode Switch: When this switch is set in the AUTO position and
when the Power Switch
7
is set to ON, the HKTS200SUB will automatically
turn itself on when it receives an audio signal and will enter the standby mode
after it has received no audio signal for about 15 minutes. When this switch is set
in the ON position, the HKTS200SUB will remain on whether or not it is receiving
an audio signal. An LED light on the HKTS200SUB’s top panel indicates whether
the subwoofer is in the on or standby state:

the Power Switch 7 is set to OFF, the LED will not be illuminated, no mat-

External Trigger Input: Use the mini-plug of the supplied combina-
tion LFE and trigger cable to connect the External Trigger Input to the
trigger output of another compatible component. Whenever the HKTS-
200SUB's amplifier detects a trigger signal between 3V and 30V (AC or
DC), the amplifier will turn on. The amplifier will turn off after the trigger
signal ceases,
even when the Power On Mode Switch 3 is in the AUTO
position.

Line-Level LFE In Connector: Use the LFE (purple) connector of the supplied
combination LFE and trigger cable to connect the Line-Level LFE In Connec-
tor
5
to the dedicated subwoofer output of a receiver or preamp processor.
This input bypasses the HKTS200SUB’s internal crossover circuitry, so use it
only with a subwoofer output that has been low-pass filtered. If your receiver or
preamp/processor does not have a dedicated subwoofer output that is low-pass
filtered, use the HKTS200SUB’s Line-Level L/R In Connectors
6
instead.
6 Line-Level L/R In Connectors: Use these connectors if your receiver or pre-
amp/processor does not have digital surround-sound decoding or a subwoofer
output that is low-pass filtered.
•Ifyourreceiverorpreamp/processorhasaseparatesubwooferoutput,usethe
LFE (purple) connector of the supplied combination LFE and trigger cable to
connect it to either one of the HKTS200SUB’s Line-Level L/R In Connectors.
•Ifyour receiver or preamp/processordoes not havea separate subwoofer
output, use two Y-adapters (not supplied). Connect an adapter’s single end to
the unit’s preamp output for that channel. Connect one of the adapter’s dual
ends to the main amp input for that channel, and connect the adapter’s other
dual end to one of the HKTS200SUB’s Line-Level L/R In Connectors. Repeat
the process with the other Y-adapter, preamp channel, main amp input and
HKTS200SUB Line-Level L/R In Connector.
7 Power Switch: Set this switch in the ON position to turn the HKTS200SUB on.
The subwoofer will then be either on or in standby mode, depending on the set-
ting of the Power On Mode Switch 3.
8 Power Cord (Non-Detachable): After you have made and verified all subwoofer
and speaker connections described in this manual, plug this cord into an active,
unswitched electrical outlet for proper operation of the HKTS200SUB. DO NOT
plug this cord into the accessory outlets found in some audio components.

Color-Coding System
The HKTS 60 uses the channel color-coding system established by the CEA to
make setting up your home theater speaker system as easy as possible. The
HKTS 60 system includes speaker wires with color bands on each end.
