Operation; Volume; Additional Bass Adjustments - Harman Kardon HKTS 7 Owner's Manual

Operation

Move the Master Power switch (marked
"Power" ) to the "•" (On) position to use the
subwoofer. The SUB-TS7 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 "
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 On/Off Switch
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
the position.

Additional Bass Adjustments

In addition to the volume adjustments described
above, the SUB-TS7 subwoofer includes a Phase
Switch and a Filter Switch
used to adjust the bass response to suit your
listening environment or taste.
In most situations, the Phase Switch
be left in the position.
NORMAL
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 position. There is no
REVERSE
harm in experimenting, and you may return the
switch to the position at any time.
NORMAL
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
position, except:
ON
1. When the Sub Input is being used, in
which case it has no effect, or
2. When the Speaker-Level Inputs
Line-Level Full-Range Inputs
used with a crossover or filter aboard the
receiver or processor.
In these two circumstances, place the switch in
the position.
