• Filter Remote Control Input: This input accepts a remote control signal from a compatible Harman Kardon A/V receiver that enables you to override the High-Cut (Low-Pass) Filter Switch §, by signal- ing the SUB-TS10 to engage the filter even when the switch is in the OFF position.
SPEAKER PLACEMENT Front Speakers 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.
MOUNTING OPTIONS Satellites and Surrounds The satellite speakers may be placed on a shelf. They may be tilted upwards simply by tilting them back onto their sculpted surfaces. Wall-Mounting Attach bracket to wall. If possible, position the speakers so that the mounting screws used connect directly to a wooden wall stud.
Harman Kardon, use red to denote the (+) terminal and black for the (–) terminal. Newer Harman Kardon receivers conform to the new CEA standard and therefore use a color other than red or black for the (+) ter- minal to indicate some speaker positions: e.g., surround left.
