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 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.

OPERATION 
Move the Master Power switch (marked
“Power” ¡) to the “
” (On) position to
use the subwoofer. The HKTS 2 subwoofer
will automatically turn itself on or go into
standby (sleep) mode when left in the
standby mode (“Auto/On” switch ™ in the
“Auto” position). When your receiver or
amplifier is off, or is not sending program
material to the subwoofer, the subwoofer
will be in standby mode and the LED will
turn red. When the subwoofer senses an
audio signal, it will automatically turn itself
on and the LED will turn green. If the 
subwoofer does not sense a signal after
approximately twenty minutes, it will 
automatically go into standby mode.
When the “Auto/On” switch ™ is switched
to the “On” position, the subwoofer will
remain on, whether or not program material
is playing.
If you will be away from home for an
extended period of time, or if the sub-
woofer will not be used, switch the Master
Power switch ¡ to the “Off” position.

source is playing.
• Check that the powered subwoofer is
plugged in and its Power switch ¡ is
switched on to the “
” position.
• Check all wires and connections between
receiver/amplifier and speakers. Make sure
all wires are connected. Make sure none 
of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or
punctured.
• Review proper operation of your 
receiver/amplifier.
If there is no sound coming from one
speaker:
• Check the “Balance” control on your
receiver/amplifier.
• Check all wires and connections between
receiver/amplifier and speakers. Make sure
all wires are connected. Make sure none 
of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or
punctured.
• In Dolby Digital or DTS modes, make sure
that the receiver/processor is configured so
that the speaker in question is enabled.
If there is no sound from the center 
speaker:
• Check all wires and connections between
receiver/amplifier and speaker. Make sure
all wires are connected. Make sure none 
of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or
punctured.
• If your receiver/processor is set in Dolby
Pro Logic mode, make sure the center
speaker is not in phantom mode.
• If your receiver/processor is set in Dolby
Digital or DTS mode, make sure the 
receiver/processor is configured so 
that the center speaker is enabled.
If the system plays at low volumes
but shuts off as volume is increased:
• Check all wires and connections between
receiver/amplifier and speakers. Make sure
all wires are connected. Make sure none 
of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or
punctured.
• If more than one pair of main speakers is
being used, check the minimum impedance
requirements of your receiver/amplifier.
If there is low (or no) bass output:
• Make sure the connections to the left and
right “Speaker Inputs” have the correct
polarity (+ and –).
• Make sure the subwoofer is plugged into
an active electrical outlet.
• Make sure the powered subwoofer is

your receiver/processor is configured so that
the surround speakers are enabled.
