They operate together as a system to make controlling your iPod easy, and to route the audio signal to your mobile audio system. All three components must be installed. You can choose wireless FM transmission, wired FM transmission (adaptor sold separately), or direct connection of the line-output audio signal for the audio interface. Text Display Location The Text Display shows current iPod information and is similar to the display on your iPod. It comes with a three-position pivot arm for virtually limitless viewing adjustment. You can install the unit in a variety of locations, as long as the proposed site offers a direct view of the display. For easiest viewing, mount the unit near other instrument-panel gauges or on top of the dashboard. Control Knob Location The Control Knob allows you to control the iPod much like the iPod Click Wheel. The unit comes with three interchangeable bases so you can choose the most comfortable operation angle. Ideally, you should install the Control Knob in a location that provides comfortable access while driving where you can easily feel and operate it without taking your eyes off the road.

(under seat)

Choosing Installation Locations
IMPORTANT: Drive + Play should be installed according to these instructions and relevant regulations. No part of this system should obstruct the drivers view of the road or vehicle controls or information displays necessary for safely operating the vehicle. The text display should be positioned to eliminate glare and reflections, and should be as close as possible to the drivers normal line of sight.

Choosing Installation Locations (continued)
Electronics Enclosure Location The Electronics Enclosure contains the wireless FM transmitter and the power supply for the three components. You can install it under a seat, in the center console compartment, or in the glove box. If possible, select a site that provides both convenient access to the enclosure and easy cable routing. Drive + Play also provides an audio interface to a cell phone, satellite radio, or any other device that outputs a low-level audio signal using the Aux In jack. When using the Auxiliary Input feature, select a mounting site for the electronics enclosure that provides easy access to the Aux In jack. Otherwise, you will need to purchase a 3.5mm stereo extension cable for a longer cable run (see Wiring Diagram on page 5). iPod Location With this system, you can place your iPod in any location that allows you to conveniently connect it to the Drive + Play iPod cable. Since you dont have to view the iPod or use its controls, you can place it inside the center console compartment, the glove box, or another hidden site.
Wireless FM Transmission This method is the most convenient and requires the least wiring. After setup, you simply tune your radio to the assigned FM frequency to listen to your iPod. Drive + Play has a built-in FM transmitter and its software provides a choice of five fixed FM frequencies or a tunable frequency for areas where none of the fixed frequency selections are available. See Initial Setup on page 9 for details. Wired FM Transmission For better quality FM transmission performance, consider purchasing our Wired FM Adaptor for direct connection (via the Antenna jack on the Electronics Enclosure) to your radios antenna input (see Wiring Diagram on the next page).

NOTE: Depending on your vehicle model, antenna plug adaptors may be required to connect the Wired FM Adaptor to your radio and antenna.
Connecting to Audio Out This method provides the best sound quality, but involves more wiring. After making the connections and setup, you will select Auxiliary Input or CD Changer on your audio system to listen to your iPod. See Initial Setup on page 9 for details.
NOTE: Since an iPod can get hot during operation, avoid tightly enclosed areas. Review About Operating and Storage Temperatures in your iPods Users Guide.
Planning the Installation
IMPORTANT: When routing wires from any of the components to the electronics enclosure, be sure to route them away from any moving parts such as the gear-shift levers, pedals, parking brake and steering column.
Temporarily place the main components at their proposed sites and lay out their interconnect cables to judge the cable routes (see Wiring Diagram on page 5 for wiring options). If a cable comes up short, try moving one or more components to find a better run. Next, inspect the vehicles interior assembly and locate areas where cables can be hidden or tucked into seams (e.g., under the center console housing, along body panel, etc.). Once you have found the ideal cable runs and component locations, mark the sites with a pencil and continue with the installation.
NOTE: In order to use the Audio Out, your audio system must have an auxiliary input jack or a CD changer input. A thirdparty interface is required for a CD changer interface. If your system has neither feature, FM transmission is the only choice for the audio interface.
Choosing a Power Interface
Referring to the Wiring Diagram on the next page, you can connect Drive + Plays power connections to your vehicles electrical system in one of two ways: Removable 12-Volt Accessory Power Cable With Cigarette Lighter Adaptor This power interface is the most convenient, since the power cable can be simply plugged into the vehicles cigarette lighter outlet. No additional wiring is required. The cigarette lighter adaptor is fuse-protected, and the fuse can be changed by removing the adaptors end nut.
Choosing an Audio Interface
Referring to the Wiring Diagram on the next page, you can interface the Drive + Plays audio output to your mobile audio system in three ways:
NOTE: If your cigarette lighter works even when the cars ignition switch is in the off position, youll have to turn Drive + Play on manually. It can be turned off manually, or it will shut off automatically after one hour of inactivity.

WELCOME

As a consumer electronics company, the Harman Kardon brand dates back to the days of monaural sound and vacuum tubes. And yet here we are, still going strong after more than 50 years, still headed by our founder, Dr. Sidney Harman, and still following our own path, in our own way. Over the years, landmark Harman Kardon products led the transition from vacuum tubes to solid state, from mono to hi-fi, and from analog to digital. With features that often broke new ground, and performance that always set higher standards, nothing else ever looked or sounded quite like Harman Kardon components. Thats just the way we always wanted it. And thats the way it still is.
* iPod touch not included.

TECHNICAL PHILOSOPHY

Harman Kardon products were delivering high bandwidth before most people realized it was a good thing. Technology leaders can only lead by example, and weve been setting a series of very good examples for more than 50 years. Many of the technologies found in todays finest amplifiers were introduced in Harman Kardon audio equipment. And weve always been quick to adopt and improve on any good ideas we didnt actually think of ourselves. It doesnt happen often, you understand, but it happens.

7 x 75W 7.1-Channel A/V Receiver with HDMI 1.3a Repeater, Audio/Video Processing and Upscaling to 1080p The AVR 354 includes a full complement of Dolby and DTS decoding technologies, HDMI repeater capability, Faroudja DCDi Cinema processing, EzSet/EQ equalization and multiroom capability. It connects to a universe of digital and analog sources, as well as to external amps. And with The Bridge II docking station (included), it will even play, control and charge your iPod. To ensure that everything works together seamlessly, the AVR 354 features a full-color graphical user interface and an eight-device programmable remote. Harman Kardon founder Dr. Sidney Harman has always believed technology should serve users, not intimidate them. The AVR 354 is a perfect case in point.

AVR 254

7 x 50W 7.1-Channel A/V Receiver with HDMI 1.3a Repeater, Audio/Video Processing and Upscaling to 1080p The AVR 254 is the most affordable Harman Kardon receiver to feature both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding on the audio side, and Faroudja DCDi Cinema video processing to 1080p on the video side. But theres plenty more to recommend the AVR 254, including three HDMI inputs, connections for external amplifiers, EzSet/EQ technology to fine-tune your system to the acoustics of your room, and an RS-232 port for future firmware upgrades. Perhaps the highest recommendation of all? As do all Harman Kardon A/V receivers, the AVR 254 features a high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth design for maximum fidelity.

AVR 154

5 x 30W 5.1-Channel A/V Receiver with HDMI Switching The Harman Kardon AVR 154 is all about getting connected. It features three HDMI inputs, two wide-bandwidth HDTV-ready component video inputs, four S-video inputs, a front-panel input for video game consoles, an auxiliary input for portable media players, and a portfolio of advanced surround processing technologies, including Dolby Digital, DTS and Logic 7 processing. But the AVR 154 is also about ease of use, and it features a high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth design for maximum fidelity.

/ DOCKING STATION FOR iPod

The Bridge II

Docking Station for iPod Is your home entertainment system incomplete without music from your iPod? Thanks to The Bridge II docking station, connection and control are completely within your power. The Bridge II connects directly to Harman Kardon The Bridge-ready products and allows you to use your systems remote to seamlessly select and play audio and video content guided by easy-to-read on-screen or front-panel messages. Let the (gloriously uninterrupted) music begin.

iPod touch not included.

BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY
We didnt start with a business plan in 1953 we started with a product. We werent looking to find a marketing niche for ourselves we were looking to build audio components that satisfied our own passion for music. We built our very first systems for ourselves and a handful of others who could hear what we heard. These days, Harman Kardon, Inc., has a business plan, R&D labs and a marketing department everything a prestigious company should have. But were still building systems for people who hear what we hear.

STEREO RECEIVERS

Introduced 50 years ago this year, the Harman Kardon Festival TA 230 was the worlds first stereo receiver. Today, we continue to keep the audio faith with a choice of powerful stereo receivers engineered by and for people who prefer to be entertained with their eyes closed. Were passionate, to be sure, but were not zealots. Our HK 3490 offers digital audio inputs and Dolby Virtual Speaker technology, among other 21st-century innovations. Time marches on, and Harman Kardon products march with it.

/ STEREO RECEIVERS

HK 3490
2 x 120W Stereo Receiver The insanely powerful HK 3490 combines all of an audiophiles must-haves (high-performance phono preamp, preout/main-in jacks, high-current amplification) with an array of multichannel extras (digital-audio inputs, video switching, dual subwoofer outputs and Dolby Virtual Speaker technology). Add The Bridge II docking station for iPod, and the HK 3490 will connect as elegantly to your newfangled iPod as it does to your timehonored turntable. The HK 3490 isnt a snob about where the music comes from, as long as it sounds great when it reaches its final destination: your ears.

DMC 1000

Four-Stream Digital Media Center with Progressive-Scan DVD-Video Playback and 250GB Internal Hard Drive Smaller, but vastly smarter and better looking than your average CD storage rack, the DMC 1000 will digitize, catalog and store more than 60,000 songs as you play them, allowing you to banish your CDs and CD storage racks to the attic. It will also let you send up to four different audio selections to other rooms of your house at once. With touch-sensitive front-panel controls (the ultimate no-button design), a concealed front-panel USB jack and hidden memory card slots, the DMC 1000 will even let you transfer your music for use in portable players, card-equipped cars and cell phones. And your iPod? Enjoy playback, control and charging with The Bridge II docking station for iPod (sold separately and very much worth it).

MULTIROOM PRODUCTS

One-room systems are only ideal for one-room apartments. All Harman Kardon 7.1-channel AVR receivers are built with multiroom applications in mind. All include assignable rear-channel amplifiers, all offer a second-zone control system, and the AVR 354 includes a second-zone remote control. Which means Harman Kardon multiroom systems are easy to set up and use. So go ahead, spread out and enjoy yourself. Your Harman Kardon entertainment system will be there for you.

/ MULTIROOM PRODUCTS

ABH 4000
Four-Zone/Eight-Room A-BUS Expansion Hub Different music in different rooms. With an ABH 4000 expansion hub and up to four different input sources (including your Harman Kardon AVR), you can easily divide your house into four separate entertainment zones, where individual musical tastes may prevail. Link in an A-BUS -equipped Harman Kardon product and make its tuner and The Bridge II docking station for iPod accessible from throughout the realm. May domestic bliss and your favorite music be with you.
Four-Room A-BUS Expansion Hub One ABH 4 = four rooms; more ABH 4s = many more rooms. With A-BUS-equipped Harman Kardon products, the more ABH 4s you have, the more rooms you can serve and the more music-hungry constituents you can satisfy. But even without A-BUS technology, the ABH 4s onboard audio inputs allow you to distribute audio from any receivers Tape or Multiroom outputs to any room. As usual, Harman Kardon products have got you covered.

HE 1000

External Infrared Remote Sensor We dont know of many people hiding Harman Kardon components behind closed doors, but just in case, a remote sensor for your systems IR remote control only makes sense. One or more HE 1000s can put you in control of your AVR from anywhere in your home. And although its usually considered impolite to point, the IR sensors dont seem to mind.
Amplified In-Wall Module with Onboard Controls for A-BUS Applications The ultimate keypad. The AB 2 connects to your A-BUS-equipped Harman Kardon products or ABH expansion hub to power your local speakers without an additional amplifier. Also, it easily allows you to select and control your listening sources as you enter a room (and its key caps are swappable, to mirror your system), or to power the system off as you depart. And during your stay? The AB 2 has an infrared sensor to relay your every wish to the AVR with virtually any Harman Kardon remote control.

Amplified In-Wall Module for A-BUS Applications Often located next to the light switch, and every bit as important. Controlling your A-BUS-equipped Harman Kardon products in remote rooms and powering the remote-room speakers is as simple as a single connection to the AVR or the nearest ABH expansion hub, and a link to the speakers. That will give you the option of controlling local volume with the AVRs second-zone remote, or directly from the AB 1.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe borrowed less is more from Robert Browning. We borrowed it from Mies. Minimalism has long been a major force in architecture, music and design. Its also been one of our guiding principles from the very beginning. The Harman Kardon team believes that good design consists of essential elements presented in their purest form, with an absence of excess or decoration. We could go on and on about this, but that would be icing on the cake. We dont do icing.
HOME THEATER SPEAKER SYSTEMS
Let Harman Kardon home theater speaker systems make this simple for you. As you probably know, a 5.1-channel speaker system consists of four satellite speakers, a center channel speaker primarily for dialogue, and a powered subwoofer. So if youre ordering la carte, thats four from column A, one from column B and one from column C. Simple enough. Except the center ought to be voice-matched to the satellites, the sub shouldnt overpower the center or the satellites, and all six should be matched to your electronics. Suddenly, its not that simple. Unless you simply choose one from the column of Harman Kardon HKTS speaker packages.
/ HOME THEATER SPEAKER SYSTEMS
Surround Speakers No matter how good things get, therell always be an upgrade. HKS 9 speakers are identical to HKTS 18 speakers, except that theyre available in pairs, for easily upgrading a 5.1-channel HKTS 18 system to 7.1 channels. The additional speakers add a surround back channel for the ultimate in cinema-like sound.
Surround Speakers Dont look behind you. Theres nothing back there but your HKS 6 speakers, faking you out by delivering a back channel that the 5.1 HKTS 15 system, by itself, cannot. Well admit that it can be a little spooky at first, especially if it sounds like the overnight delivery guy driving up, or anything else that might actually be happening in the real world. But youll learn to cope.

HKTS 18

5.1-Channel Home Theater Speaker System The speaker package for people who hate it when people talk during movies. The HKTS 18 is a powerful 5.1-channel solution with dual midrange drivers in both the satellites and the center channel for heightened realism, and a 200-watt powered subwoofer for bass that isnt one bit intimidated by all that heightened realism. And those talkers? We guarantee theyll find this a tough act to compete against.

HKTS 15

5.1-Channel Home Theater Speaker System Please have your tickets ready. With a dual-driver center channel speaker for vivid, distinct movie dialogue, four compact but powerful satellites to pull you into the action, and a 100-watt powered subwoofer for heart-stopping bass, the HKTS 15 system is more than equal to all the excitement Hollywood is dishing out these days. Worlds colliding? Total nuclear annihilation? Childs play.

HTFS 2

Floor Stands Designed to position any HKTS satellite at an ideal height for seated listeners, these aluminum floor stands feature a cable-management system to keep speaker wires out of sight. (Youre welcome.)
