How to connect speakers to the sub-woofer and my iMac.

A relative gave me her old Harman Kardon speaker system for my iMac. I guess it was manufactured at least 5 years ago. There is no manual. The speakers are round and transparent and 4 inches in diameter. They have the name Pro Speakers model number M6531. There is a plug from the speakers that overall is about three-quarters of an inch long. The metal part is only about a quarter of an inch long and about a tenth of an inch wide. I have assumed this should plug into the sub-woofer but see nowhere to plug it in. The sub-woofer is circular and transparent about 10 inches high and 8 inches in diameter. I have an old Altec computer speaker system that plugs the speakers into the sub-woofer and I assumed the same would be the case for the Harman Kardon. I will appreciate your help. Thanks. John

    I have the harmon kardon sound sticks. I bought them for my imac. it worked great. I moved and when I unpacked the speakers and hooked them up they dont work. I am not sure if i am missing a plug. there are two wired coming out of the main unit where the two wired from the sticks which connect to these two wires. there is a wire that connects to the imac. still nothing. there seems to be a place for another connection to the main speaker unit but i dont have any wires. can any one help me out to get this to work. thank you

I believe that plug is special because it feeds not only audio signal but also voltage to power the speakers. so unless u know that the speakers will get power from the plug, it will probably not work

What cable connects a Dell PC to a Harmon Kardon HK395 sub woofer?

3.5 m/m. Normally it is color coded green. The pink connects the subwoofer to the speakers. Any color will work. Just mark both ends of wire jacks.

HARMAN KARDON AVR 130NO SOUND FROM SUB WOOFER

Register and download the manual for free at retrevo.com

http://www.retrevo.com/support/Harman-Kardon-AVR-130-Receivers-manual/id/386ci155/t/2/

The receiver must KNOW it has a sub and you must decide how bass is managed among all your speakers and set up relative levels.

I have a active sub woofer (akari bazooka) but the only connections available are the speaker connections. The front of the sub woofer has volume adjustment. How can I connect this sub woofer to my Harman...

hi,
You can't connect the pre out of your AVR to this sub woofer. Do one thing connect the frond left/ right channel speaker "B" out of harman kardon to the sub woofers left right speaker in put. you can connect the speaker out "A" to your normal left right speakers. Remember to switch Speaker "A" and "B" in ON position in your AVR. Also do one thing go to the speaker setup of AVR and switch OFF (slelect NONE) the sub woofer.This will disconnect the sub woofer pre our and the sub frequency will mix with frond left right channels.
ok

These "proposed solutions" obviously have absolutely NO relation to the problem stated. Which by the way is far too typical of this site. :(
