Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Harman Kardon
HKS 3 loudspeakers, with which you are
about to begin many years of listening enjoy-
ment. The HKS 3 has been custom-designed
to provide high-fidelity audio reproduction of
your favorite music and movie selections. The
HKS 3 loudspeakers are suitable for upgrad-

additional amplifiers.
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 amplifier
are made properly. In addition, a few minutes

If you have any questions about this product,
its installation or operation, please contact
your dealer, the best local source of information.
Features
The HKS 3 is a pair of 2-way satellite
speakers for use in a home theater system.
The HKS 3 speakers are identical to the
satellites in the Harman Kardon HKTS 7
system, and are designed to be used with
the HKTS 7 in a complete 7.1-channel
home theater. Color-coded speaker cables
are included to facilitate installing the
speakers in the surround back left and
right positions.
Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity
receiver 50 years ago. The HKS 3 is a
perfect complement to a Harman Kardon
receiver or any home theater system.
