Power connector:

 Plug the transmitter power supply into this connector and into a 

working AC outlet.

Wireless Code switch: 

This switch selects between four different channels for the 

wireless signal.

IMPORTANT: 

Be  sure  to  set  the  transmitter  unit’s Wireless  Code  switch  to  the  same 

channel that you set the subwoofer’s Wireless Code switch. See 

Wireless Code Settings, 

on page 10, for more information.

Input connectors: 

Connect the supplied LFE cable from your receiver’s or processor’s 

subwoofer output to either of the transmitter unit’s Input connectors.

Color-Coding System

The HKTS 35 system uses the channel color-coding system established by the CEA to 

make setting up your home theater speaker system as easy as possible. The system 

includes speaker wires and an LFE cable with color bands on each end.

Speaker

Place the front speakers the same distance from each other as they are from the listener’s 

position. Place them at about the same height from the floor as the listener’s ears will be. 

Angling them towards the listener can improve the stereo imaging.

(0 – 61cm)

Place the center speaker directly above or below the center of your TV screen. Its center 

should be no more than two feet (61cm) above or below the centers of the front left and 

front right speakers. If your TV set is deep enough, it may be convenient to set the center 

speaker on top of the television set.
