Terminology

Since they share some of the characteristics and technology of CD players, many of the terms and operational concepts used in a DVD player are similar to what you may be familiar with from CD players and changers, or older video disc formats such as Laser Disc. However, if this is your first DVD product, some of the terms used to describe the features of a DVD player may be unfamiliar. The following explanations should solve some of the mysteries of DVD, and help you to enjoy all the power and flexibility of the DVD format and the DVD. With the arrival of DVD, disc data capacity has increased dramatically. On a DVD Video disc most of this capacity is taken up by MPEG 2 video and the multichannel movie soundtrack in Dolby Digital and/or DTS. This information is compressed. Aspect Ratio: This is a description of the width of a video image in relation to its height. A conventional video screen is four units wide for every three units of height, thats why the ratio is called 4:3. Newer wide aspect ratio video displays are 16 units wide for every nine units of height, making them more like the screen in a movie theater. The program material on a DVD may be recorded in either format and, in addition, you may configure the DVD to play back in either format, depending on the features recorded on a disc. Component Video: This form of video signal eliminates many of the artifacts of traditional composite video signals by splitting the signal into a separate luminance channel (the Y signal channel) and two color-difference signals (the Pr and Pb signal channels). With a component video connection, you will see greater picture resolution and eliminate many picture imperfections such as the moir patterns often seen on check-patterned cloth. However, in order to benefit from component video, you must have a video display with Y/Pr/Pb component video inputs. Do not connect the component video outputs to the standard composite or Svideo inputs of a TV or recorder. Group: The individual tracks on a DVD-Audio disc may be combined into Groups. There may be more than one Group on a disc. Depending on the way a discs producers create the program, the Groups can contain different program material, or they may repeat the discs content in different audio formats, such as 5.1 audio or high-resolution stereo. HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection): HDCP is the specification for protecting digitally encoded content from unauthorized copying when it is transmitted from a DVD player (or other video source) to a video display using HDMI or DVI connections. In order to take advantage of the high-resolution HDMI output, your display must be HDCP-compliant. Virtually all displays with HDMI inputs are HDCPcompliant, but not all DVI-equipped displays are. If you are using the player with an optional HDMI-to-DVI cable or adapter, check the owners manual for your display to determine whether it is HDCP-compliant. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface): HDMI is a serial-bus form of communication between the DVD player and the video display or audio/video receiver. With 5Gbps of bandwidth, it is capable of passing uncompressed digital audio and high-definition digital video using a single cable. With HDMI, the player is capable of outputting high-resolution (720p or 1080p) video and 5.1-channel Dolby Digital or DTS digital audio, with the convenience of just a single cable connection. JPEG Files: JPEG stands for the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which developed a standard for compressing still images, such as photographs. JPEG files may be created on a personal computer by importing images from a digital camera, or scanning printed photographs. These files may be burned onto a compact disc. The player is capable of recognizing JPEG files and enabling you to view them on your video screen. Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as an entire movie or program. There can be as many chapters within a title as the producers decide to include. Most discs include only one title, but some may have more than one, to give you a Double Feature presentation. Chapter: DVD programs are divided into chapters and titles. Chapters are the sub-sections programmed into a single title on a disc. Chapters may be compared to the individual tracks on an audio CD.

Upgradeability via Internet
The firmware controlling the functionality of the Harman Kardon player is fully upgradeable. In the event of future improvements to its operations and features, it will be possible to download firmware upgrades from www.harmankardon.com/International/ All you have to do is create a CD-R with the data and insert it in the player for an automatic upgrade.
The DVD 49 will play most recordable memory cards, but we cannot guarantee complete playback compatibility due to the wide variation in recorders and blank media.We cannot guarantee playback compatibility with cards having a memory capacity greater than 1 gigabyte. Both Secure Digital (SD) and MMC (Multimedia Card) memory cards may be used in Card Slot 1. The smaller miniSD and microSD cards may be used in Card Slot 1, but require an adapter (not included). Memory Stick cards may also be used in Card Slot 1. Original Memory Stick cards are compatible as is, but an adapter (not included) is required for the smaller Memory Stick Duo cards. Compact Flash I cards may be used in Card Slot 2. Compact Flash II cards and microdrives are not compatible with the DVD 49. Card Slot 1 accepts only SD, MMC and Memory Stick cards. Card Slot 2 accepts only Compact Flash I cards. Do not attempt to install a card in a slot other than the one designated for its card type. Cards with memory capacity greater than 1 gigabyte are not recommended for use with the DVD 49. Card Slot 1 Gently insert an SD, MMC or Memory Stick card, label-side up, pushing it all the way in until it clicks. Remove the card by gently pressing it in again until it unlatches, then you may pull it out of the slot. Card Slot 2 Gently insert a Compact Flash I card, label-side up, pushing it all the way until it is firmly seated in the slot. Remove the card by pulling it out of the slot. It is necessary to turn off the DVD 49 before inserting or removing a SD or MMC card, Memory Stick or Compact Flash card.

NOTE: The coaxial digital output should only be connected to a digital input. Even though it is the same RCA-type connector as standard analog audio connections, DO NOT connect it to a conventional analog input jack. Connect either the Optical Digital Audio Output 0 or the Coaxial Digital Audio Output 1 to a corresponding digital audio input on your receiver or processor, but not both. 2 AC Power Cord: Connect this plug to an AC outlet. If the outlet is controlled by a switch, make certain that it is in the ON position. 3 Composite Video Output: Connect this jack to the video input on a television or video projector, or to a video input on an A/V receiver or processor if you are using that type of device for video input switching. 4 S-Video Output: Connect this jack to the S-Video input on a television or video projector, or to an S-Video input on an A/V receiver or processor if you are using that type of device for S-Video input switching. 5 Component Video Outputs: These outputs carry the component video signals for connection to display monitors with component video inputs. For standard analog TV's or projectors with inputs marked Y/Pr/Pb or Y/Cr/Cb, connect these outputs to the corresponding inputs. If you have a high-definition television or projector that is compatible with high scan rate progressive video, connect these jacks to the HD Component inputs. Note that if you are using a progressive scan display device, then
Progressive must be selected in the Video Set-up Menu in order to take advantage of the progressive scan circuitry. See page 22 for more information on progressive scan video. IMPORTANT: These jacks should NOT be connected to standard composite video inputs. 6 6-Channel Audio Outputs: Connect these outputs to the matching 6-channel analog audio inputs on your receiver or surround sound processor. This connection is required to listen to the multichannel tracks on DVD-Audio discs or SACD (DVD 49 only). If the disc also contains a linear PCM, Dolby Digital or DTS track, you may listen to it using the HDMI A, Optical 0 or Coaxial Dgital Audio Output 1 or the Analog Audio Outputs 9. Note: Youll find more details about all Audio/Video connections under Setup and Connections on the following pages. 7 Remote Control Output: Connect this jack to the infrared (IR) input jack of another compatible Harman Kardon remote controlled product to have the built-in Remote Sensor on the DVD 49 provide IR signals to other compatible products. 8 Remote Control Input: Connect the output of a remote infrared sensor, or the remote control output of another compatible Harman Kardon product, to this jack.

The following adjustments are available on the SPEAKER menu for each speaker position. It is recommended that you cycle through the adjustments for each speaker position using the KLM N Navigation Buttons 9 to enter the settings that are appropriate for your system. Pressing the OK Button 6 displays a dropdown menu with the selections available for that setting. Use the KL Navigation Buttons 9 to highlight the appropriate setting, and then press the OK Button 6 to select it. You will notice that the adjustments for speaker size and distance (used to calculate delay times) are set in tandem for the front left and right speaker pair, and for the surround left and right speaker pair. Changing the settings for either speaker in these pairs also affects that setting for the other speaker in that pair. For this reason, it is important to select the same brand and model for both speakers in each pair, and also to place them at about the same distance from the listening position.

Figure 4b

Due the different distances between the listening position for the front channel speakers and the surround speakers, the amount of time it takes for sound to reach your ears from the front or surround speakers is different. You may compensate for this difference through the use of the delay settings to adjust the timing for the specific speaker placement and acoustic conditions in your listening room or home theater. Measure the distance from the listening position to each of the individual loudspeakers. Once done, select per loudspeaker the distance that is closest to the one measured. Before making any changes to the distance settings, first move the blue bar down to the UNIT -line, press OK 6 and select the unit for distances you prefer to enter, feet or meter with the use of the KL Buttons 9.

The second setting for the subwoofer is the crossover. This determines which sounds will be sent to the subwoofer, and which to the main speakers when Small is selected as the speaker size for any of the speakers. Select the frequency from those shown that is closest to the lowest frequency your main (left/center/right/surround left/surround right) speakers are able to reproduce. The output level should be set the same way as for the other speakers. When you have finished making any necessary adjustments to the SPEAKER SETUP menu, move the cursor to the left until the SPEAKER -menu item is highlighted in blue, to return to the SYSTEM SETUP menu tabs.

Video Settings

Figure 5 (DVD 49 shown)
The Video Setting Submenu contains the following settings. Follow the explanations in the Instruction Line on the bottom of your screen to change the settings. Display Mode: This step selects the TV aspect ratio, depending on your TV, between conventional screen shape (4:3) or widescreen (16:9).

SYSTEM SETUP 21

Side 22
When the HDMI Output A is used, the aspect ratio will automatically be set appropriately for the specific display. However, you may select an alternate view. TV Standard: Sets the output video format i.e. NTSC, PAL or SECAM, of the player. If you have a multi standard TV, we recommend the AUTO setting for optimal picture quality. Video Adjustment: The Video Adjustment Submenu contains access to the Test Screen. First adjust the video display device (TV) with the help of the Test Screen. After that the output settings of the player can be fine-tuned with the Brightness, Sharpness and Black Level settings. In order to change the settings, move the cursor to the + or - icon on the same line as the setting. Once one of the icons is highlighted, pressing OK will increase or decrease the value of the setting, as will be shown in the bar behind the setting. To exit the Video Adjustment Menu, move the cursor to DONE, and press OK. HDMI Output In Use: With the HDMI Output connected to another device, this setting defaults to Auto, but you may change it to 576p, 720p, 1080i or 1080p. We recommend leaving the setting at Auto, in which the player sets the video output based on the capabilities of the device it is connected to. If you attempt to select a video output resolution that your video display is not capable of handling, such as 1080p for a display that is only 1080i-capable, you will not see a picture. HDMI Output Not In Use: When no device is connected to the HDMI Output, this setting only applies to the Component Video Outputs. Only two values are available: 576i (the default) and 576p. Select 576p only if your video displays component video inputs are capable of handling a progressive scan signal. If it isnt, you will see no picture or a distorted picture when this setting is changed to 576p. In that case, press the Video Mode Button on the remote to correct it. DivX Subtitle: This setting selects the desired subtitle language for DivX movies. DivX Registration: This setting shows your personal DivX Video On Demand (VOD) code. This code allows you to rent and purchase videos using the DivX VOD service. For more information, visit www.divx.com/vod. Follow the instructions and download the video onto a disc for playback on this unit. Note that all the downloaded videos from DivX VOD can only be played back on this unit. Once the DivX icon is highlighted, press OK to access your personal DivX VOD code.

TV Picture Adjustment with Test Screen
These adjustments may be done now, but you can also make them after setup has been finalized. Brightness adjustment: 1. Turn down the color control on your TV until the color bars are visible in black and white. 2. Adjust the contrast to the lowest level where you still can see all bars within the grey scale in the test picture separately and clearly. 3. Adjust the Brightness so that the bars in the grey scale are all visible. The bar farthest to the left has to be as black as possible rather than grey but the next one must be clearly differentiated. All the bars in the grey scale should gradually and evenly change from black to whiter, going from left to right.

Using the Player Information Menu
Press the Info Button to view the Info Display (see Figure 6). This display differs from the other Status Displays in that it is informational only, although in some cases you may notice changes in the display as you enter some commands. The Info Display is only available for DVDs. It is also available for VCDs and JPEGs, but in a different format which is described in the sections pertaining to those types of discs. Video Standard: The discs format is shown here. For Region 2 players, this will normally be PAL, although some DVDs that are open region (playable in all regions) may be in the NTSC format. Scan Type: This line displays whether the video program on the DVD was recorded with a progressive or interlaced scan rate. It also displays how the program is being played back, based on the setting established in the VIDEO SETUP submenu as shown on page 21. When you have finished viewing the Player menus, press the Info Button A to remove the displays from the screen and return to normal play.
Using the On-Screen Status Display
When a DVD is playing, you may press the Status Button D at any time to view a quick summary of the discs playback status. The Status Bar not only gives you a snapshot of the units current state; it also provides an easy way to select a different title, chapter or track, or use the time search feature.

Side 26
Format: This command is not used for CDs. Its purpose is to reformat the other media, memory cards or a USB flash drive. Reformatting a memory card or flash drive will destroy any contents on the media. Selecting a Media Source (DVD 49 only) The DVD 49 has four media source inputs: the Disc Player, Card Slot 1 (for SD and Memory Stick cards), Card Slot 2 (for Compact Flash I cards), the USB Port (for USB flash drives). The Disc Player is always available for selection as the media source, even when no disc is loaded. The card slots and the USB Port are only available when media has been installed. By default, the Disc Player is always selected as the media source upon powering up the DVD 49. To select a new media source, press the Source Button on either the top panel or remote. A menu similar to the one shown in Figure 7b will appear. It is not possible to select any of the solid-state media sources when no card or drive is present, and when that is the case, those icons will appear dimmed in the source selection menu and it will not be possible to highlight them for selection.

A-B Repeat Play

The Repeat A-B function allows you to select any portion of a CD and have it repeat continually until the unit is manually stopped. To initiate a Repeat A-B playback sequence, follow these steps while a disc is playing: 1. Press the A-B Repeat Button P on the remote when you want to choose the beginning point; the Repeat icon appears in the upper right corner of the screen, followed by A- to indicate the beginning of the passage to be repeated. 2. Press the A-B Repeat Button P again to choose the end point. Repeat A-B has been set, and the A-B section will be played continuously. 3. Press the A-B Repeat Button P on the remote again to cancel Repeat A-B mode.

Video Off Feature

During CD playback, some listeners may prefer to turn off the video circuitry. Although the video section is electrically isolated from the audio section, some users may prefer to turn the video displays off during audio playback to prevent any possibility of interference between audio and video. You may also wish to turn the video display off if you find the menu system distracting or unnecessary during CD playback. IMPORTANT NOTE: It is strongly recommended that plasma video display owners use the Video Off feature to avoid burn-in. To turn the video displays off while a CD is playing, simply press the Video Off Button Q. Press the button again to restore the video output. The V-Off Indicator G will light to remind you that the video displays have been turned off. Note that the video output will automatically be restored each time the player is turned on.

SACD Discs (DVD 49 only)

SACD discs are a vast improvement in sound quality over the original compact disc. Due to improvements in laser technology, SACDs allow information to be packed more densely on the disc, which in turn means that more information than ever may be stored on a single disc. The benefit to the audiophile listener is improved resolution and quality of 2-channel recordings, and a whole new world of multichannel audio recordings. Some earlier SACD discs contain only a twochannel program. Newer discs may contain both a 2-channel and a multichannel version of the same materials. As described on page 22, a setting in the Audio Setup submenu is used to select between 2-channel and multichannel SACD playback, or to select the CD layer of the disc. Check the jacket of your disc to ascertain which formats are available. Note that this setting needs to be made with either no disc in the drawer, or with the drawer open. SACD playback requires the use of the 6Channel Audio Outputs 6 or the Analog Audio Outputs 9 (for 2-channel playback only). If only the Optical 0 or Coaxial Digital Audio Outputs 1 are used, no sound will be heard. Random play and programmed playlists are not supported for SACD discs. Also, it is not possible to clear the Player Information screens from the display, although you may press the Video Off Button Q to turn off the video display altogether.
Figure 7b Source Selection Menu
Use the M N Buttons to highlight the desired media source, and press the OK Button to select it. The DVD 49 will switch to that media source. For the Disc Player, play will begin immediately. For the solid-state media, or a data CD containing compressed files, a special Contents Menu will appear that allows you to select items for playback. See the section on MP3, WMA and JPEG file playback for more information.

Side 27
MP3, Windows Media and JPEG Playback
The player will recognize data from CD-ROM discs recorded in the MP3, Windows Media 8 (WMA) or JPEG formats, including images stored on Kodak Picture CDs. You may also play discs with more than one of the three formats. The Specific File Types That May be Played Are: MP3 Files: MP3 is a popular audio compression format that was developed by the Motion Picture Experts Group as part of the MPEG-1 video compression format. Depending on the specific MP3 encoder used, file size is greatly reduced so that you store many more songs on one compact disc than in the standard audio CD format. MP3 is also used to download audio files to computers for home use. Note, however, that in order to play an MP3 file, the disc may not contain any encryption or coding that prevents playback. Always be certain that you have, or have purchased, the proper rights or authorization before creating a CD-ROM with MP3 or any other codec format. Due to variations in the different encoders and variations of the MP3 codec and the different bit rates used to record MP3 discs, the player may not be able to play all discs with MP3 files. We cannot guarantee complete compatibility with MP3 discs, even though they may play on a computer. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with the player. Note, also, that when a multisession disc with both standard CD audio and MP3 (or WMA) content is used, the player will only play the CD audio sections of the disc. WMA Files: WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio compression format developed by the Microsoft Corporation for use with its Windows Media Player. WMA files may be created with greater compression than MP3 without sacrificing audio quality so that even more songs may be recorded on a disc. Note that there have been a number of versions of Windows Media, and the player is compatible only with files that end in the wma extension and that were recorded using the Windows Media Series 8 encoding. JPEG Files: JPEG is the acronym used to identify image files recorded according to specifications established by Joint Photographic Experts Group for compressing still images. Identified by the file extension jpg when they are recorded on most computers, JPEG files may be created by a digital still camera and then edited and burned to a disc in your personal computer, recorded on a CD-ROM disc from film images by a photo processor, or scanned from printed photos into your personal computer and then burned onto a CD-ROM. MPEG 2 Files: MPEG stands for the Motion Pictures Expert Group, which defines digital audio/video standards. The MPEG 2 format is a method of compressing video presentations, and is the standard generally used for television broadcasting and DVD, with some minor modifications appropriate to each type of use. It is possible to create MPEG files from home movies using your PC and video conversion software, and to store them on media as individual raw MPEG files. The player is capable of recognizing and playing these files, which are selected for playback using the Contents Menu, the same as for other data files. Discs containing MP3, WMA, MPEG or JPEG files are navigated and controlled differently from standard DVDs and CDs. When a disc containing one or more of these types of files is loaded in the player, the Contents menu screen will appear. Files are listed by name, including the file extension that identifies their type, such as.JPG in the examples in (Figure 8 - VCD Info Menu) for JPEG files. In addition, an icon to the left of the file name indicates the type of file. A camera indicates an image file, musical notes indicate MP3 and WMA files, and a screen indicates a raw MPEG video file. Play will not begin immediately; select an item for playback by navigating to it and pressing the OK or Play Button. You may also select an item by using the Numeric Keys to enter its order in the current view, for example, referring to Figure 8, entering the number 2 will display the second JPEG file. To expand a folder (if any), press the Navigation Buttons until the desired folder name is highlighted, then press the OK Button. To collapse a folder (so that you can select another folder on the disc), use the Navigation Buttons to highlight the folder icon at the top of the track list and press the OK Button. To select a track, press the Navigation Buttons until the desired track name is highlighted. To start play of the selected track, press the OK or Play Button. ENGLISH
