Use this installation method for receivers and preamp/processors that do not have a
dedicated subwoofer output, but do have preamp-level (volume-controlled) line outputs.
If the receiver or preamp/processor has a dedicated subwoofer output with low-pass
filtering, see Connecting the Subwoofer to a Receiver or Preamp/Processor With a Dedicated
Subwoofer Output, on page 8.
If you’re connecting to a receiver with left and right line outputs that are not connected to
amplifier inputs, connect the LFE (purple) connector of the supplied combination LFE and
trigger cable to one of those outputs and to either of the HKTS200SUB’s Line-Level L/R

Subwoofer Adjustments: Phase
The Phase Switch

determines whether the HKTS200SUB’s piston-like action moves
in and out in phase with the satellite speakers. If the subwoofer were to play out of
phase with the satellite speakers, the sound waves produced by the subwoofer could be
canceled out, reducing bass performance and sonic impact. This phenomenon depends in
part on the relative placement of all the speakers in the room.

there is no absolute correct setting for the Phase Switch

Subwoofer Adjustments: Bass Boost
When set to the ON position, the Bass Boost Switch
