Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Harman Kardon
HKTS 11, with which you’re about to begin
many years of listening enjoyment. The HKTS 11
has been custom-designed to provide all the
excitement and power of the cinema experience
in your own living room.
While sophisticated electronics and state-of-the-
art speaker components are hard at work within
the HKTS 11, hookup and operation are simple.
Color-keyed cables and connections, and simple
controls make the HKTS 11 easy to use.
To obtain maximum enjoyment from your new
home theater speaker system, we urge you to
take a few minutes to read through this manual.
This will ensure that connections to your receiver
or preamp/processor and amplifier or other
external devices are made properly. In addition,
a few minutes spent learning the functions of
the various controls will enable you to take
advantage of all the power and refinement the
HKTS 11 is able to deliver.
If you have any questions about this product, its
installation or operation, please contact your
dealer, the best local source of information.
Description and Features
The HKTS 11 is a six-piece home theater speaker
system that includes a 10-inch, 200-watt, bass-
reflex powered subwoofer; four identical, 2-way
dual-driver satellite speakers for use in the left
and right front and rear speaker positions; a
voice-matched, dedicated, dual-driver center
speaker; helf stands and wall-mount brackets for
the four satellites and the center speaker; and all
of the speaker cables you need to connect your
speakers to your receiver or preamp/processor
and amplifier. The speaker cables and speakers
all use a color-coding system to conform to the
CEA standard. The color-coding system mini-
mizes confusion, especially when the HKTS 11
system is used with a Harman Kardon receiver.
The HKTS 11 subwoofer is easy to connect to
your system, since it’s equipped with a special
subwoofer input for use with equipment that
has a dedicated subwoofer connection that car-
ries a low-frequency output. It also includes
stereo speaker-level inputs and outputs for con-
nection to older receivers and processors that do
not have a line-level subwoofer output. Other
conveniences include a level control, high-cut
(low-pass) filter switch and phase switch for
fine-tuning bass response to suit your listening
environment and taste, and an efficient switch-
ing system that senses the presence of an audio
signal and automatically switches the unit from
Standby mode to Active mode.
Shelf stands and wall-mount brackets are includ-
ed for the satellite speakers, and optional HTFS 2
floor stands are available separately from your
Harman Kardon dealer.
Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiv-
er fifty years ago. With state-of-the-art features
and time-honored circuit designs, the HKTS 11 is
a perfect complement to a Harman Kardon
receiver or any home theater system.
■Complete home theater speaker system

 Subwoofer-Level Control: Volume
may be adjusted using the Subwoofer-Level
Control. Turn the control clockwise to increase
the SUB-TS11’s volume, or counterclockwise to
decrease it.
 High-Cut (Low-Pass) Filter Switch: Plac-
ing this switch in the
ON position activates cir-
cuitry that cuts out all audio input signals above
120Hz. This allows the SUB-TS11 to focus its
power on reproducing the low-frequency portion
of the signal, avoiding inefficiency and distor-
tion. Engage this filter when using the Speaker-
Level Inputs
 , or when using the Line-
Level Full-Range Inputs
 , unless your
receiver or processor processes its line-level out-
put using a low-pass filter. The filter has no
effect when the Sub Input
 is used.
 Trigger Input: Some receivers or sound
processors have a Trigger Output that sends a
signal to the subwoofer to switch on or off. If
your receiver has such a Trigger Output, connect
it here. When placed in the
AUTO position, and
when the Master Power Switch
 is turned
on, the subwoofer will automatically turn itself
on or place itself in the Standby mode,
depending on the status of your receiver or
processor. When this switch is placed in the
ON
position, the SUB-TS11 will remain on, whether
or not it is receiving an audio signal.
An LED located on top of the SUB-TS11 indi-
cates whether the SUB-TS11 is in the On or
standby state when used with the Trigger
On/Off Switch
 in the AUTO position. The
LED is lit blue to indicate that the SUB-TS11 is
receiving an audio signal and is turned on, and
the LED is lit amber to indicate that no signal is
being received and the SUB-TS11 is in Standby
mode.
When the Trigger On/Off Switch
 is in the
ON position, the LED will be lit blue, whether or
not an audio signal is present.
When the Master Power Switch
 is turned
off, the LED goes dark, no matter which position
the Trigger On/Off Switch
 is in.
 Phase Switch: This switch determines
whether the SUB-TS11 subwoofer’s piston-like
action moves in and out in phase with the main
speakers. If the speakers were to play out of
phase, the sound waves produced by the sub-
woofer would be cancelled out, reducing bass
response. This phenomenon depends in part on
the relative placement of the speakers in the
room. In most cases, the Phase Switch

should be left in the NORMAL position. How-

ever, it does no harm to experiment with the
Phase Switch
 , and you may leave it in the
position that maximizes bass response.
 Line-Level Subwoofer (SUB) Input: Con-
nect the subwoofer output of a receiver with
digital surround sound decoding, such as Dolby*
Digital or DTS®, to this input. This input bypasses
the SUB-TS11’s internal crossover circuitry, and
should only be used with a filtered signal. If your
receiver does not have digital decoding, you
should use the Line-Level Full-Range Inputs
 instead.
 Line-Level Full-Range Inputs: Connect
the line-level subwoofer output or preamp out-
put(s) of your receiver or amplifier to these
inputs. If your receiver does not have a separate
subwoofer output, use a Y-adapter (not supplied)
to bridge the receiver’s preamp output to the
main amp input for that channel, and connect
the long end of the adapter to the correspon-
ding line-level input on the SUB-TS11. If your
receiver has only a single subwoofer output, you
may connect it to either the left or right line-
level input on the SUB-TS11, and no Y-adapter is
needed.
 Speaker-Level Outputs: If you are using
the Speaker-Level Inputs
 on the
SUB-TS11, you should connect these binding-
post terminals to your front left and right speak-
ers, remembering to maintain polarity by con-
necting the (+) terminal on the SUB-TS11 sub-
woofer to the (+) terminal on the speaker, and
the (–) terminal on the SUB-TS11 subwoofer to
the (–) terminal on the speaker. If you are not
using the Speaker-Level Inputs
 , then con-
nect your front left and right speakers directly to
your receiver or amplifier. See pages 9 through
12 for further information on speaker connec-
tions.
 Speaker-Level Inputs: Connect these
binding-post terminals to the main left and right
speaker terminals of your receiver or amplifier, if
your receiver or amplifier does not have a line-
level subwoofer output. Remember to maintain
polarity by connecting the (+) terminal on the
receiver/amplifier to the (+) terminal on the
SUB-TS11 subwoofer, and the (–) terminal on
the receiver/amplifier to the (–) terminal on the
SUB-TS11 subwoofer.
 Master Power Switch: Place this switch in
the “•” position to power-on the SUB-TS11
subwoofer. The SUB-TS11 will then be either in
the Standby mode or completely on, depending
on the position of the Trigger On/Off Switch
 .
 AC Power Cord: Make sure to plug this
cord into an active, unswitched electrical outlet
for proper operation of the SUB-TS11.
The cord should not be plugged into the
accessory outlets found on some audio
components.

6SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Speaker Placement
Color-Coding System
The HKTS 11 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 four satellite speakers according to
the key below. It doesn’t matter which satellite
speaker is used for any of the front or rear
positions. (The center speaker and powered
subwoofer are already color-coded for you.)
Front Speakers
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.
Center Channel Speaker
The center channel speaker should be placed
slightly behind the front left and right speakers,
and no more than two feet above or below the
tweeters of the left and right speakers. It is often
convenient to set the center speaker on top of
the television set, as shown in the drawing.
Subwoofer
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.
Surround Speakers
The two surround speakers should be placed
slightly behind the listening position and, ideally,
should face each other and be at a level higher
than the listeners’ ears. If that is not possible,
they may be placed on a wall behind the
listening position, facing forward. The surround
speakers should not call attention to themselves.
Experiment with their placement until you hear a
diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the main-
program material heard in the front speakers.
Satellites and Surrounds
The satellite speakers may be placed on a shelf.
They may be wall-mounted using the supplied
brackets.

MOUNTING OPTIONS 7
ENGLISH
Wall-Mounting for Satellites
Unscrew the bolt that attaches the black shelf
stand to the bottom of the speaker. Store the
stand and bolt in a safe place in case they are
needed for a future installation.
Mount the wall-bracket attachment plate on the
wall in the desired location.
If possible, position the speakers so that the
mounting screws (not included; use size #8) may
be installed directly into a wooden wall stud.
If that is not possible, use optional wall anchors
that are rated to support at least twenty-five
pounds. The customer is responsible for
proper selection and use of mounting
hardware, available through hardware
stores, to properly and safely wall-mount
the speakers.
Referring to the speaker connection instructions
on pages 8 through 11, thread the appropriate
speaker cable through the opening in the bottom
of the attachment plate, and then through the
back of the bracket as shown in the diagram.
The bracket has two openings on top: a round
screw hole, and an arc-shaped opening in front
of it. The speaker cable should be threaded
through the arc-shaped opening, not the screw
hole.
Attach the bracket to the wall plate by inserting
the tab at the top of the attachment plate into
the slot on top of the bracket and snapping the
bracket onto the attachment plate.
Thread the cable through the round opening in
the terminal cover, and then insert the speaker
wires into the terminals on the underside of the
speaker, remembering to observe the correct
polarity (see page 8).
Place the terminal cover over the opening on the
underside of the speaker so that it fits flush
against the speaker and covers the terminals,
with its round opening exposing the threaded
insert. The bracket fits through the round opening
in the terminal cover.
Insert the supplied bracket bolt up through the
bottom of the bracket and terminal cover, and
screw it into the threaded insert on the underside
of the speaker. The bolt should be snug, but not
so tight as to prevent the bracket from pivoting.
The wall-mounted speaker may be pivoted from
side to side; however, the bracket is not designed
to tilt up or down, and attempting to tilt it will
damage the bracket and possibly the wall, which
would not be covered by your warranty.
Wall-Mounting for the Center
Speaker
Remove the two black rubber patches from the
bottom of the center speaker. Keep the patches
in a safe place in case they are needed for a
future installation.
The back of the bracket has two small round
screw holes on each side, and a large opening
for the cable.
Position the bracket in such a way that the large
hole for the cable is in front of the hole in the
wall that holds the cable. Thread the cable
through the hole and fix the bracket on the wall.
The mounting screws (not included; use size #8)
may be installed directly into a wooden wall
stud. If that is not possible, use optional wall
anchors that are rated to support at least twenty-
five pounds. The customer is responsible for prop-
er selection and use of mounting hardware, avail-
able through hardware stores, to properly and
safely wall-mount the center.
Insert the appropriate center speaker wires into
the terminals on the backside of the center,
remembering to observe the correct polarity (see
page 8). Place the center speaker on the wall-
bracket and use the enclosed screws to fix the
center speaker on the bracket from the bottom.
The wall-bracket cannot be pivoted from side to
side. The bracket is not either designed to tilt up
or down, and attempting to tilt it will damage
the bracket and possibly the wall, which would
not be covered by your warranty.

Speaker Connections
Speaker-Level Connection Guide
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before making speaker
connections, be certain that your receiver or
audio power amplifier is turned off and pre-
ferably unplugged from its AC power source. The
SUB-TS11 subwoofer should not be connected
to an AC power source until all speaker wire
connections have been made.
Speakers and electronics terminals have
corresponding (+) and (–) terminals. Most
manufacturers of speakers and electronics, in-
cluding Harman Kardon, use 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 or black for the (+) terminal to indicate
some speaker positions: e.g., surround left.
Although the HKTS 11 system has red and black
collars on the individual speaker terminals to
denote the positive and negative connections,
your system includes a colored band on the
positive lead at both ends of every speaker cable
and a matching colored sticker for each of the
four satellite speakers, conforming to the key on
page 6. The center speaker has a green (+)
terminal, and the subwoofer has a purple SUB
input jack. This system is intended to help you
ensure that the speaker in each location is
connected to the correct terminals on your
receiver or amplifier.
The (+) lead of the speaker wire is indicated
with a stripe and has the colored band
corresponding to the speaker’s position. It is
important to connect all speakers identically: (+)
on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (–) on
the speaker to (–) on the amplifier. Wiring “out
of phase” 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 with the correct polarity remains equally
important in order to preserve the proper
ambience and directionality of the program
material.
To connect the supplied speaker wires to the
satellite and center speaker terminals located on
the bottom of each speaker, press the red or
black tab, insert the bare end of the wire into
the hole, and release the tab. Gently tug on the
wire to make sure that it is fully inserted.
For the best performance, Harman Kardon
recommends that the subwoofer be connected
using either the Line-Level Subwoofer (SUB)
Input
 or the Line-Level Full-Range
Inputs
 . However, if the application requires
the use of the speaker-level connections for the
subwoofer, unscrew the binding-post collar until
the pass-through hole in the center post is
visible under the collar. Insert the bare end of
the wire through this hole; then screw the collar
down until the connection is tight. The hole in
the center of each collar is intended for use with
banana-type connectors.

Dolby Pro Logic (Non-Digital) –
Line Level
Use this installation method for Dolby Pro Logic
applications (not Dolby Digital, DTS®or other
digital processing), where the receiver/processor
is equipped with a subwoofer output, or a
volume-controlled preamp (line-) level output:
Use RCA-type patch cords to connect the line-
level subwoofer output on your receiver or to
amplifier either the left or right line-level input
on the subwoofer.
Use both the left and right inputs on the sub-
woofer if your receiver or processor has both left
and right line-level outputs. In that case, you will
need to supply a second interconnect cable.
If your receiver is equipped with line-level out-
puts but does not have a separate subwoofer
output, use a Y-adapter (not supplied) to bridge
the receiver’s preamp output to the main amp
input for that channel, and connect the long end
of the adapter to the corresponding line-level
input on the SUB-TS11.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the Sub Input
 on
the subwoofer with Dolby Pro Logic processors.
If your receiver/processor has a built-in low-
pass-crossover filter for the subwoofer output,
you may use the Sub Input
 to bypass the
subwoofer’s internal crossover.
Connect each speaker to the corresponding
speaker terminals on your receiver or amplifier.
Make sure that you have configured your
surround sound processor for “Subwoofer On.”
The front left, front right, center and surround
speakers should all be set to “Small.”
When all connections have been made, plug the
AC power cord on the subwoofer into an AC

12 OPERATION
Operation
Move the Master Power switch (marked
“Power”
 ) to the “•” (On) position to use the
subwoofer. The SUB-TS11 subwoofer will auto-
matically turn itself on or go into standby mode
depending on whether or not a signal is being
sent to it by your receiver or surround processor,
and provided that the Trigger On/Off Switch
 is moved down so that it is in the " AUTO "
position. When your receiver or amplifier is off,
or is not sending program material to the sub-
woofer, the subwoofer will be in standby mode
and the LED Indicator on the top of the sub-
woofer will turn amber. When the subwoofer
senses an audio signal, it will automatically turn
itself on and the LED Indicator will turn blue.
If the subwoofer does not sense a signal after
approximately twenty minutes, it will automati-
cally go into standby mode.
When the Trigger switch
 is switched to the
“On” position, the subwoofer will remain on,
whether or not program material is playing and
the LED Indicator will remain lit blue.
If you will be away from home for an extended
period of time, or if the subwoofer will not be
used, switch the Master Power switch
 to
the
OFF position.
Volume
Volume can be adjusted using the Subwoofer
Level Control
 (above), as shown below.
Turn the control knob clockwise to increase the
volume of the subwoofer, and counterclockwise
to decrease the subwoofer's volume.
Additional Bass Adjustments
In addition to the volume adjustments described
above, the SUB-TS11 subwoofer includes a
Phase Switch
 and a Filter Switch  that
can be used to adjust the bass response to suit
your listening environment or taste.
In most situations, the Phase Switch
 should
be left in the
NORMAL position.
If you suspect that the subwoofer is playing out
of phase with the other speakers, which would
tend to diminish bass response, try placing this
switch in the
REVERSE position. There is no
harm in experimenting, and you may return the
switch to the
NORMAL position at any time.
If you rearrange your room and reposition the
speakers, it would be a good idea to check
whether they are in phase by flipping this
switch.
The High-Cut (Low-Pass) Filter Switch

limits the frequencies of the audio signal
inputted to the subwoofer to the low frequen-
cies that the subwoofer reproduces best.
This allows the subwoofer to perform more
efficiently, and with superior bass reproduction,
minimizing distortion that might occur if the
subwoofer attempted to reproduce higher
frequencies. This switch should be left in the
ON position, except:
1. When the Sub Input
 is being used, in
which case it has no effect, or
2. When the Speaker-Level Inputs
 or the
Line-Level Full-Range Inputs
 are being
used with a crossover or filter aboard the
receiver or processor.
In these two circumstances, place the switch in
the
OFF position.
