Speaker Placement
Expanding a 5.1-Channel System to a 7.1-Channel
System
The surround back speakers should be placed against the rear wall
directly behind the listeners, 3–6 feet (0.9m–1.8m) apart, 5–6 feet
(1.5m–1.8m) off the floor.
NOTE: If your original surround speakers are located behind the
listeners, you should move them up so they are directly to the
listeners’ sides.

Mounting Options for
HKTS 30SAT-2 Speakers
Shelf Placement
You can place the HKTS 30SAT-2
speakers on shelves. The satellite
speakers have built-in bases for shelf
placement. You can also remove the
bases if you desire.
To remove a speaker’s base, pull it
straight off the speaker, as shown in
the illustration. Applying even pressure
to both sides of the base will allow it
to slide off smoothly.

Wall-Mounting
IMPORTANT: Read the Speaker Connections
section, on page 5, before wall-mounting
the HKTS 30SAT-2 speakers. You will need to
insert the speaker wires through the wall-
mount brackets and connect the wires to
the speakers during the process of
installing the wall-mount brackets.
NOTE: If you are using your own speaker wire,
it must be no thicker than the wire supplied
with the speakers. Thicker wire will prevent
the wall-mount bracket from sliding onto the
speaker.
1. Decide on the location for the speaker
(see Speaker Placement, opposite).
2. Remove the speaker’s base as explained in
Shelf Placement, above.
3. Disassemble the wall-mount bracket by sliding the two
sections apart, as shown in the illustration.
4. Attach the wall portion of the wall-mount bracket onto
the wall using hardware that is appropriate for the wall’s
construction and materials. We recommend first anchor-
ing the wall-mount bracket using its keyhole, then
attaching it with another anchor through its top opening,
as shown in the illustration. Note that the HKTS 30SAT-2
speakers weigh 3.3 lb (1.5kg). Be sure to use hardware
that can support this weight.

If You’re Adding to an Existing HKTS 30 Speaker
System:
Your HKTS 30SAT-2 speakers are designed to expand an exist-
ing HKTS 30 speaker system from 5.1 channels to 7.1 channels.
You can connect the HKTS 30SAT-2 speakers to your receiver’s or
amplifier’s surround back left and surround back right outputs.
If You’re Adding to an Existing HKTS 20 Speaker
System:
Your HKTS 30SAT-2 speakers are designed to expand an exist-
ing HKTS20 speaker system from 5.1 channels to 7.1 channels
by replacing the existing front left and front right speakers. You
can then connect your existing HKTS20 front left and front right
speakers to your receiver’s or amplifier’s surround back left and
surround back right outputs.
