On shelves.

On the wall. Wall brackets included.

On optional stands (FSTS 1).

Slide speaker onto support.

Place speaker and support on wall plate.

Attach plate to wall. The brackets should be
placed, if possible, so that the screws will
fasten into a wooden wall stud. If that is
not possible, use properly selected wall
anchors.

The customer is responsible for proper
selection and use of mounting hardware,
available through hardware stores, to prop-
erly and safely wall-mount the speakers.

Separate and strip the ends of the speaker
wire as shown. Speakers and electronics
terminals have corresponding (+) and (–)
terminals. Most manufacturers of speakers
and electronics, including Harman Kardon,
use red to denote the (+) terminal and
black for the (–) terminal.

The (+) lead of the speaker wire is noted
with a stripe. It is important to connect both
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 cor-
rect polarity remains equally important in
order to preserve the proper ambience and
directionality of the program material.

USE THIS INSTALLATION METHOD FOR
DOLBY PRO LOGIC APPLICATIONS (NOT
DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS OR OTHER DIGITAL
PROCESSING), WHERE THE RECEIVER/
PROCESSOR DOES NOT HAVE A SUB-
WOOFER OUTPUT, OR A VOLUME-
CONTROLLED PREAMP (LINE-) LEVEL 
OUTPUT:

Connect your receiver or amplifier’s front
left and right speaker terminals to the left
and right terminals on the subwoofer that
are marked “Speaker-Level Input.” Connect
the left and right terminals on the sub-
woofer that are marked “Speaker-Level
Output” to the corresponding terminals on
the back of your front left and right speakers.

Connect your receiver or amplifier’s center,
and left and right surround-speaker 
terminals to the corresponding terminals on
the back of your center, and left and right
surround speakers.

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 SUB-
WOOFER OUTPUT, OR A VOLUME-
CONTROLLED PREAMP (LINE-) LEVEL 
OUTPUT:

Use RCA-type patch cords to connect the
line-level subwoofer outputs on your receiver
or amplifier to the line-level inputs on the
subwoofer. IMPORTANT: Do not use the 
SUB input on the subwoofer with Dolby
Pro Logic processors. Note: If your receiver
or amplifier only has one subwoofer output
jack, then you will need to use a Y-connector
(not included). Plug the male end of the 
Y-connector into your receiver or amplifier’s
subwoofer output jack, and connect each of
the two female ends to separate RCA-type
patch cords. Finally, plug the RCA-type
patch cords into the line-level inputs on the
subwoofer.

Connect each speaker to the corresponding
speaker terminals on your receiver or amplifier.

USE THIS INSTALLATION METHOD FOR
DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS OR OTHER DIGITAL
SURROUND PROCESSORS:

Use the line-level input jack marked “SUB”
for the Low-Frequency Effects channel.
Connect this jack to the subwoofer output
or LFE output on your receiver or amplifier.
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
rear speakers should all be set to “Small.”
