Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Harman Kardon
HKS 4, with which you’re about to begin many
years of listening enjoyment. The HKS 4 has
been custom-designed to provide all the excite-
ment and power of the cinema experience in
your own living room.
The HKS 4 loudspeakers are suitable for upgrad-
ing almost any 5.1 home theater system to 7.1
channels when used with a 7.1-channel receiver
or processor and any necessary additional ampli-
fiers.
To obtain maximum enjoyment from your new
speakers, we urge you to take a few minutes to
read through this manual. This will ensure that
connections to your receiver or preamp/proces-
sor and amplifier or other external devices are
made properly. In addition, a few minutes spent

setup options will enable you to take advantage
of all the power and refinement the HKS 4 is
able to deliver.
If you have any questions about this product, its
installation or operation, please contact your
dealer, the best local source of information.
Description and Features
The HKS 4 is a pair of 2-way satellite speakers
for use in a home theater system. The HKS 4
speakers are identical to the satellites in the
Harman Kardon HKTS 11 system, and are
designed to be used with the HKTS 11 in a com-
plete 7.1-channel home theater. Color-coded
speaker cables are included to facilitate
installing the speakers in the surround back left
and right positions.
Shelf stands and wall-mount brackets are includ-
ed for the satellite speakers, and optional HTFS 2
floor stands are available separately from your
Harman Kardon dealer.
Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiv-
er fifty years ago. With state-of-the-art features
and time-honored circuit designs, the HKS 4 is a
perfect complement to a Harman Kardon receiv-
er or any home theater system.
