Introduction / Safety Information
Only use the HS 250 controller with the loudspeaker system supplied. Failure to do so may cause damage to either the controller or the loudspeakers and will invalidate any warranty. All of the optional system settings have been preset at our factory for correct operation of the system. All you have to do is insert a disc, sit back, and enjoy a great home theater experience. You may want to change some of the optional settings. A description of all the optional settings and instructions for changing them are found in the second half of the manual. This system was designed to provide you with many years of reliable operation with a minimum of care and maintenance. Every component in your system was in perfect working condition when it left our factory. If you experience any problems with the set-up or operation of this system, please review the Troubleshooting Guide at the end of this manual before you contact your authorized Harman Kardon dealer. Handle the AC Power Cord Gently When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet, always pull the plug, never pull the cord. If you do not intend to use the unit for any considerable length of time, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet. Do Not Open the Cabinet There are no user-serviceable components inside this product. Opening the cabinet may present a shock hazard, and any modification to the product will void your guarantee. If water or any metal object such as a paper clip, wire or a staple accidentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source immediately, and consult an authorized service station. Installation Location I To assure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the product. I Make certain that proper space is provided both above and below the unit for ventilation. If this product will be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient air movement within the cabinet. Under some circumstances a fan may be required. I Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface. I Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, or an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment. I Avoid moist or humid locations. I Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the unit, or place objects directly over them. Cleaning When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide near the unit. Moving the Unit Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect any interconnection cords with other components, and make certain that you disconnect the unit from the AC outlet. Unpacking The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new receiver during shipment were specially designed to cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest that you save the carton and packing materials for use in shipping if you move, or should the unit ever need repair. To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it. This is done by carefully slitting the tape seams on the bottom and collapsing the carton. Other cardboard inserts may be stored in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag. If you do not wish to save the packaging materials, please note that the carton and other sections of the shipping protection are recyclable. Please respect the environment and discard those materials at a local recycling center. Copyright Audio-visual material may consist of copyright works which must not be recorded without the permission of the owner of the copyright. Please refer to relevant laws covering copyright protection. Copy protection This DVD player supports Macrovision copy protection. On DVD discs that include a copy protection code, if the contents of the DVD disc are copied using a VCR, the copy protection code prevents the videotape copy from playing normally. For Optimum Performance The controller is a precision device that is constructed using extremely accurate technology. Soiling or friction affecting the pickup lens or disc drive can impair the image quality. In the worst case, neither video nor audio will be played back. To obtain optimum picture quality, the player should be checked (cleaning and replacement of some parts) every 1,000 hours. Note that this period varies depending on the environment (temperature, humidity, dust) in which the player is used. Do not attempt to clean the pickup lens yourself. 4 INTRODUCTION / SAFETY INFORMATION

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. High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI): HDMI has emerged as the digital standard for connecting High Definition devices, displays and components, and provides for the pristine transmission of high-definition digital video and digital audio via a single cable. HDMI is the first and only digital interface for Consumer Electronics devices that can carry uncompressed high-definition video, compressed or uncompressed multi-channel audio and command data, allowing customers to obtain pure digital picture and sound directly from the source (as it was meant to be seen and heard). USB On-The-Go: Due to its widespread acceptance, USB is becoming the de facto industry standard for connecting peripherals to PCs and laptops. Many of the new peripherals using USB are also portable devices. As these portable devices increase in popularity, there is a growing need for them to communicate directly with each other when a PC is not available, for instance in consumer electronics products. The USB On-The-Go technology addresses this need for mobile interconnectivity. 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. RGB Video: This is a new form of video signal that eliminates many of the artifacts of traditional composite video signals by splitting the signal into the three fundamental colors Red, Green and Blue (RGB). With an RGB connection (via SCART), you will see greater picture resolution and eliminate many picture imperfections such as the moir patterns often seen on checkered patterned cloths. However, in order to benefit from RGB video, you must have a video display with an RGB compatible SCART input. Progressive scan: DVD offers progressive scan video outputs for use with compatible high-resolution televisions and projectors. Before DVD, no consumer medium could store, transmit or display video with full resolution. To conserve bandwidth, analog compression (interlacing) is employed: first the odd-numbered lines of a frame are displayed, followed by the even-numbered lines. The result is that only half of the video image is drawn at one time; the viewer's brain must reassemble the complete image. This is acceptable, if the monitor is not too large and if there is not too much motion in the image. Large displays and fast-moving images reveal the limitations of this system. Thanks to DVD's immense data capacity, images are now stored intact (progressively), so that all the lines in each frame (odd and even) are shown at the same time. But because most TV's cannot handle a progressive signal, all current DVD players generate an interlaced output for compatibility. Now, the Harman Kardon DVD is among the select few DVD players with true progressive scan video output (NTSC and PAL) for use with compatible TV's and CRT projectors and with all plasma, LCD and DLP display devices via the component video output. The result is 40% greater light output than a conventional TV and a stunningly detailed high definition image, along with an almost complete absence of visible scanlines and motion artifacts. Of course, traditional Y/Pr/Pb component video, SCART, S-Video and composite video outputs are included for use with conventional televisions and projectors. Multiple Angle: DVDs have the capability to show up to four different views of the same scene in a program. When a disc is encoded with multiple-angle information, pressing the Angle button will enable you to switch between these different views. Note that at present, few discs take advantage of this capability and, when they do, the multiple-angle technology may only be present for short periods of time within the disc. Producers will usually insert some sort of icon or graphic in the picture to alert you to the availability of multiple viewing angles. Reading: This is a message that you will see after youve loaded the disc and the tray has closed. It refers to the fact that the player must first examine the contents of the disc to see if it is a CD or DVD, and then extract the information about the type of material on the disc, such as languages, aspect ratios, subtitles, number of titles and more. The slight delay while the contents of the disc are read is normal. Resume: The operation of the Stop Button on the DVD works differently from what you are used to on CD players. On a traditional CD player, when you press the Stop button, the unit does just that: it stops playback. On a CD player, when you press the start button again, the disc starts from the beginning. With the DVD, however, you have two options when playing DVD discs. Pressing Stop once will stop playback, but it actually puts the unit in the Resume mode. This means that you can turn the machine off and, when you press play the next time, the disc will resume or continue from the point on the disc where the Stop button was pressed. This is helpful if you are watching a movie and must interrupt your viewing session but wish to pick up where you left off. Pressing the Stop button twice will stop the machine in a traditional manner and, when the disc is played again, it will start from the beginning. In resume mode, the cover of the DVD will be displayed, if available. Otherwise, the Harman Kardon screen will appear. DivX DivX is the name of a revolutionary new video codec which is based on the MPEG-4 compression standard for video. This DVD player will playback discs created with DivX software. The DVD players playback functionalities of DivX video discs will vary depending on the DivX software version used for creating your movies. For more information about the different software versions of DivX, please go to www.divx.com ENGLISH

Slow Motion Playback (with DVD only) 1. When a DVD disc is in pause or freeze frame mode, you may move slowly forward or backward through the program being played at one of four speeds by pressing the SEARCH Buttons HJ on the remote. Each press of the buttons will move to the next speed, indicated by a number of arrow indicators on the right top of the screen. 2. Press PLAY G to resume normal playback. Note that there will be no audio playback during slow-forward or -reverse play of DVD discs. This is normal for DVD, as surround processors cannot process the digital audio streams during slow modes. Slow play is not available for CD. Notes: Playback features may not be available during the opening credits of a movie. This is intended by the disc author and is not a failure of the HS Controller. Playback of a DVD with 96 kHz/24-bit audio requires the use of circuitry normally used for other features. Accordingly, Slow Play Reverse and Step Advance features are not available with these discs. Depending on the structure of a VCD disc, the functions Slow Reverse and Step Reverse may be prohibited or have no function and Fast Playback (Search) may not function. Fast Playback (Search) will not function with CD's containing MP3 data. About DivX Movie Files The DivX disc compatibility of this DVD player is limited by the following: the available resolution size of the DivX file should be below 720x576 (W x H) pixels. the total number of files and folders on the disc should be less than 999. the number of screen frames per second should be below 29.97 frames per second. the video and audio structure of recorded file should be interleaved. The player is capable of playing DivX files with the extensions.avi. The player is capable of playing subtitle files with the extensions.smi,.srt,.sub (Micro DVD format only) or "ssa". Other subtitle files wont be displayed. Subtitle files need to carry the same name as the movie file (but with either one of the above extensions) and should be located in the same directory. Playing a DivX Movie Disc Before playing DivX movie discs, please note the following: multi session DVD containing Windows Media Audio files may not be supported. open session discs are not supported. the DVD player does not support PC data. this DVD player does not support an unfinalized disc with a closed session. 1. Insert a disc into the Slot Loader 6. 2. Press the OSD button of the remote control and select a folder by pressing the up/down cursor buttons and press ENTER. A list of files in the folder appears. If you are in a file list and want to return to the Folder list, use the up/down buttons on the remote to highlight and press ENTER. 3. If you want to view a particular file, press the up/down buttons to highlight a file and press PLAY. When playing back a DivX movie you can use variable playback functions like fast and slow backward and forward, as well as step forward and step backward. 4. Press STOP to stop the playback. The DVD players playback functionalities of DivX video discs will vary depending on the DivX version used for creating your movies.

Disc Recognition: When set to on, the next time a disc is inserted, the HS will show a Disc Recognized message, with the question if you would like to play the disc from the beginning or would like to resume from where you last stopped the disc. The memory can contain information of the last 100 discs played. PBC Support: Activates PBC (Play Back Control) Support for VCD discs. Screen Saver: Activates a Screen Saver to prevent image burn in a video display device. If you connect the HS Controller to a plasma screen or video projector, we recommend you activate the screen saver at all times. Show Angle Icon: Determines whether the Angle Icon will appear on the screen when there are different angles available on a DVD disc. Dynamic Range: This setting allows you to take advantage of the programming present on some Dolby Digital recordings to reduce the volume of louder passages while maintaining intelligibility of quieter passages. This means that you may listen to programs at a level that allows the full impact of a soundtrack to be heard at a volume that is lower than you might otherwise use to avoid disturbing others. The HS 250 accomplishes this by compressing the audio to a greater or lesser degree, depending on which setting you choose. Three options are available: MINIMUM does not make any changes to the original playback, and should be used when the volume setting in the listening room may be as loud as you desire. MEDIUM applies a moderate amount of compression so that louder passages are a little bit quieter. MAXIMUM applies more compression so that louder passages are much softer. Feel free to experiment with the settings at any time. Tone Control: Activates or De-activates the Bass and Treble settings. Once either the Bass or Treble Settings are changed, the Tone Control automatically switches to ON. The Audio Setting Submenu contains the following settings. Follow the explanations in the Upper Menu Line on the bottom of your screen to change the settings. Preferred Audio Language: Defines your preferred audio language. Every time a disc is played that contains this audio language, it will be activated automatically. If you do not find your preferred language in the list of options, you can select your preferred language by selecting OTHER, and than typing a 4-digit code found in the code list on page 27. Bass Level: Sets the level of low frequencies. Treble Level: Sets the level of high frequencies. DVD Sound Mode: Sets the audio format of the DVD-disc playing (for other sources, see Surround Mode in each respective chapter). Once set to stereo, every surround format on a DVD will be converted to a pure stereo signal. Once set to any of the Dolby Virtual Speaker modes, all stereo signals on a DVD are forced any of the Dolby Virtual Speaker modes into virtual surround for surround playback with only two loudspeakers.

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 furtherst to the left has to be as black as possible rather than grey but the next aside must clearly be differable. All the bars in the grey scale have to be gradually and evenly changing from black to whiter, going from left to right. Contrast adjustment: 1. Adjust the contrast on your TV until you see a bright white bar in the right low corner of the screen and a deep dark black bar at the left. The optimal contrast setting will depend from your preference and the surrounding light in the TV room. 2. If the brightness of the white bar will no more increase while turning up the contrast or when the borders of the white harman/kardon text letters on top will bloom (overlight) into the black areas, what drasticly will decrease the sharpness of the script, then the Contrast has been turned up too much. Reduce the contrast until these effects will disappear and the video still looks realistic. 3. If you are watching TV with a usual surrounding daylight, adjust the Contrast so that a normal video picture has about the same looking as the surroundings in your room. By that way the eye is relazed when watching the TV picture. This contrast setting may be reduced when the surrounding light is dimmed, usually improving the sharpness of a video a lot thereby. 4. The grey scale in the middle line needs to have the same clear difference between each bar as before the contrast adjustment. If not, go back to the brightness adjustment and repeat step 3 and then the contrast adjustments, making only minor adjustments each time for optimisation. Color adjustment. 1. When the Brightness and the Contrast are set optimally, turn up the color control to the level of your perference. Adjust to the level where the colors look strong but still natural, not overdone. If the color level is too high,
depending from the TV used some of the bars will seem wider or the color intensity will not increase while the control is turned up. Then the color control must be reduced again. At the end you should test the color intensity also with a video, e.g. pictures of natural faces, flowers, fruit and vegetables and other well known natural articles of our life most usefull for an optimal setting of the color intensity. 2. If your TV has a Tint option (with most European TVs this is available or effective only with NTSC signals, not with PAL), use the large white bar below the Greyscale to tweak the warmth of the picture. Every viewer has a difference in preference as how the glow of the picture should be. Some prefer a little colder picture, some a warmer glow. The Tint function on your TV and the white bar can be used to control this. Adjust the Tint to the level where you feel the white color has the tone you prefer. Sharpness Adjustment Contrary to intuition, the picture will appear sharper and clearer with the sharpness, or Edges, setting backed off from the maximum setting. Reduce the sharpness setting on your television, and the Edges setting on the HS 250 video adjustments menu if necessary, to minimize the appearance of any white lines between the bars in the gray scale portion of the test screen. Convergence and Edge Focus The crosshatch pattern that surrounds the test screen may be used to evaluate edge focus and convergence in front- or rear-projection video displays. However, the controls used to adjust these parameters are often not user-accessible. In any event, these adjustments are extremely complex, and require proper training and experience to avoid worsening the situation. Therefore, it is recommended that if you are unable to improve the picture using the available controls, contact the video display manufacturers authorized service representative for assistance.

Glossary
Bit rate Value indicating the amount of video data compressed in a DVD per second. The unit is Mbps (megabit per second). 1 Mbps indicates that the data per second is 1,000,000 bits. The higher the bit rate, the larger the amount of data. However, this does not always mean higher quality pictures. Chapter Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. Many titles are composed of several chapters, but many others are not. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter you want. Dolby Digital (5.1, AC-3) This sound format for movie theaters is more advanced than Dolby Pro Logic Surround. In this format, the rear speakers output stereo sound with an expanded frequency range and a subwoofer channel for deep bass is independently provided. This format is also called 5.1 because the subwoofer channel is counted as 0.1 channel (since it functions only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six channels in this format are recorded separately for superior channel separation. Furthermore, since all the signals are processed digitally, less signal degradation occurs. The name AC-3 comes from the fact that it is the third audio coding method to be developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. "Dolby", "AC-3", "Pro Logic" and the Double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. Confidential Unpublished Works. 1992.1997 Dolby Laboratories, Inc. All rights reserved. Dolby Pro Logic II Surround This is a method of decoding stereo or surround recordings that produces five channels from twochannel sound. Compared with the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby Pro Logic II Surround reproduces left-to-right panning more naturally and localizes sounds more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby Pro Logic II Surround, you should have a pair of rear speakers and a center speaker. The rear speakers output stereo sound. DTS Digital audio compression technology developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround. The rear channels are stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio. Good channel separation is realized, because all channels are recorded discretely and processed digitally. Manufactured under license from Digital Theater Systems, Inc. US Pat. No. 5,451,942 and other worldwide patents issued and pending. "DTS" and "DTS Digital Surround" are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc. 1996 Digital Theater Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. MPEG AUDIO International standard coding system to compress audio digital signals authorized by ISO/IEC. MPEG 1 conforms to up to 2-channel stereo, used on some DVDs as alternate (other language) track. DVD A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a CD. The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD. Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB. The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 of its original size. The DVD also uses the variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS and/or PCM, allowing you to enjoy more natural audio presence. Furthermore, various advanced functions such as multi-angle, multilingual, and subtitles may be provided with the DVD. Multi-angle function Various angles or viewpoints of the video camera for a scene are recorded on some DVDs. Multilingual function Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a picture are recorded on some DVDs. Parental Control A function of some (particulary US) DVDs to limit playback of the disc by the age of the users. The limitation varies from disc to disc. When it is activated, playback is completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes and so on. Title The longest sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software; or an album, etc., for a music piece on an audio software. Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate the title you want. Track Sections of a music piece on a CD. Each track is assigned a track number enabling you to locate the track you want. PCM Pulse code modulation, an uncompressed data formation. NTSC National TV Systems Committee: a video standard used in USA. PAL Phase Alternation Line: a video standard used in many European countries.
