Introduction

Please register your product on our Web site at www.harmankardon.com.

Note: You'll need the product's serial number. At the same time, you can choose to be notified about our new products and/or special promotions.

Thank You for Choosing Harman KardonProducts!

In the years since Harman Kardon engineers invented the high-fidelity receiver, we have taken to heart this philosophy: Bringing the joy of home entertainment to as many people as possible, adding performance and ease-of-use features that enhance the experience. The BDS series of home entertainment systems offers a complete home entertainment solution with a wealth of listening and viewing options in one sleek receiver.

To get the maximum enjoyment from your new BDS receiver we urge you to read this manual thoroughly and refer back to it as you become more familiar with your new receiver's features and their operation.

If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation, please contact your retailer or custom installer, or visit our Web site at www.harmankardon.com.

Verify Line Voltage Before Using

Your BDS receiver has been designed for use with 100 – 240-volt, 50Hz/60Hz AC current and includes a detachable IEC power cable intended for use in the region where the receiver is sold.

Connection to a line voltage other than that for which the unit is intended can create a safety and fire hazard and may damage the unit. If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific model or about the line voltage in your area, contact your dealer before plugging the unit into a wall 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 if the unit ever needs repair.

To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it. You can do it by carefully slitting the tape seams on the carton's bottom and collapsing it. You can store cardboard inserts 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 materials are recyclable. Please respect the environment and discard those materials at a local recycling center.

Remove the protective plastic film from the front-panel lens. Leaving the film in place will affect the performance of your remote control.

Installation Location

• To ensure 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.
• Provide proper space 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 area. Under some circumstances, a fan may be required.
• Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.
• Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations or in an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment.
• Avoid moist or humid locations.
• Do not obstruct the fan vents on the rear panel or the ventilation slots on the top and sides of the unit or place objects directly over or next to them.

• Do not place the receiver directly on top of a product that generates excessive heat.

• Due to the heat generated by the receiver there is the remote possibility that the rubber padding on the bottom of the unit's feet may leave marks on certain wood or wood-veneer materials. Use caution when placing the unit on soft woods or other materials that heat or heavy objects may damage. Some surface finishes may be particularly sensitive to absorbing such marks, due to a variety of factors beyond Harman Kardon control, including the nature of the finish, cleaning materials used, normal heat and vibration caused by the use of the product, or other factors. Your warranty will not cover this type of damage to furniture, so exercise caution in choosing an installation location for the component and in performing normal maintenance practices.

• Your new Harman Kardon Blu-ray Disc™ receiver requires a broadband Internet connection for streaming capability and BD-Live™ interactivity.

Cleaning

When the receiver gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, and only after unplugging the AC power cord, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe it 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 Receiver

Before moving the receiver, disconnect any interconnection cords to other components, and disconnect the unit from its AC outlet.

Preparing the Remote Control

Installing the Batteries

Your receiver's remote control uses three AAA batteries (supplied). Insert the batteries as shown in the illustration, making sure to observe the correct polarity.

Diagram showing three remote control switches with battery pack and directional arrows indicating movement from left to right.

Using the Remote

When using the remote, remember to aim it toward the receiver's front panel. Make sure that no objects, such as furniture, block the remote's view of the receiver. Bright lights, fluorescent lights, and plasma-video displays may interfere with the function of the remote.

• The remote has a range of about 20 feet (6.1m), depending on the lighting conditions.
• You can use the remote at an angle of up to 30^ to either side of the BDS receiver.

If the remote seems to operate intermittently, or if pressing a button on the remote does not cause one of the input buttons to light up, make sure that the batteries are inserted correctly. If the remote still operates intermittently, replace all three batteries with new ones.

Programming the Remote Control

In addition to controlling the BDS receiver, you can program the unit's remote to control one auxiliary (Aux) component. The remote is also capable of learning codes directly from other remotes. This ability allows you to combine learned commands with programmed codes, making the remote capable of controlling more than one Aux component. Typical Aux components would be your TV, a satellite receiver or a cable receiver. The remote will control the Aux component(s) only when the Aux source button has been pressed. Pressing any other source button will put the remote back into the normal BDS receiver control mode.

To Program the Remote to Control an Aux Component:

1. Look up the set-up codes for the component type (for example, TV or cable box) and its brand in the Aux Component Remote-Control Code List, starting on page 29.
2. Turn on your auxiliary component.
3. Press and hold the Aux button for three seconds, and then release it.

NOTE: The remote will remain in the programming mode for 20 seconds; you must perform Step 4 within that time period.

1. Aim the remote towards the component you just turned on and enter a set-up code number from Step 1, above.

Dynamic Range Control: This setting makes the loud and quiet parts of a movie or music sound closer to the same volume (a process known as compression). Compression lets you turn up the volume so you can hear the quiet parts without the loud parts disturbing other people. NOTE: This feature works only with Dolby Digital programs that have been specially encoded. Three settings are available:

• Off: Never applies compression. Use this setting when the volume may be as loud as you desire.
• On: Always applies compression. Use this setting when you want the volume to be as quiet as possible without making it difficult to hear spoken dialogue.
• Auto: Applies compression based on information encoded within the Dolby Digital bitstream. The receiver will selectively apply compression only during the most dynamic parts of the soundtrack.

Component Audio Input: This setting lets you associate one of the BDS receiver's audio input connections (Coaxial In, Optical In 1, Optical In 2, Aux In 1, Aux In 2) with the Component Video Input. The audio connection you designate here will be active whenever the Component input is selected.

Speaker Settings: This option allows you to set up the receiver to work properly with your loudspeakers. There are three settings:

EzSet/EQ: This option makes the supplied EzSet/EQ microphone automatically detect the capabilities of each connected loudspeaker, and optimize the BDS receiver's performance for your speakers. This will provide excellent results in most installations.

Manual Configuration: This option lets you manually configure the BDS receiver to work with your speakers. Select this option if you wish to set up the receiver for your speakers manually or if you are unable to run EzSet/EQ calibration.

With both options, the first step is to select the configuration of your speaker system:

• 2.0: This configuration consists of left and right main speakers but no subwoofer. Selecting this configuration sends all of the bass to the left and right speakers, so be sure that they are full-range and can handle deep bass.
  • 2.1: This configuration consists of left and right main speakers, plus a subwoofer.
• 3.1: This configuration consists of front left, center and front right speakers, plus a subwoofer. (This option is only available on BDS 575 and BDS 577 receivers.)
• 5.1: This configuration consists of front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right speakers, plus a subwoofer. (This option is only available on BDS 575 and BDS 577 receivers.)

Speaker Package: This setting enables processing in the BDS receiver that will maximize your system's audio performance. If you are using one of the listed Harman Kardon speaker packages with your BDS receiver, select its model number from the list. If you're not using one of the listed Harman Kardon speaker packages, select "Other."

Notes on Setting Speaker Volumes in 5.1-Channel Systems:

While setting your system's individual speaker volume levels is ultimately up to your personal taste, here are some ideas you may find helpful:

• For films and video-music programs, your overall goal should be to create an enveloping, realistic sound field that draws you into the film or music program without drawing your attention away from the action on the screen.
• For multichannel music recordings, some music producers will create a sound field that places the musicians all around you; others will create a sound field that places the musicians in front of you, with more subtle ambience in the surround speakers (as you would experience in a concert hall).
• In most 5.1-channel films, the surround channels are not intended to be as loud or as active as the front channels. Adjusting the surround speakers so they are always as loud as the front channels could make dialogue difficult to understand and will make some sound effects sound unrealistically loud.

Notes on Setting Subwoofer Volume:

• Sometimes the ideal subwoofer volume setting for music is too loud for films, while the ideal setting for films is too quiet for music. When setting the subwoofer volume, listen to both music and films with strong bass content and find a “middle ground” volume level that works for both.
• If your subwoofer always seems too loud or too quiet, you may want to place it in a different location. Placing the subwoofer in a corner will always tend to increase its bass output, while placing it away from any walls or corners will always tend to lessen its bass output.

IMPORTANT: Do not turn the receiver's volume up to or past the point where the audio from the speakers becomes distorted. Doing so can damage the speakers.

Surround-Sound Modes

Your BDS receiver can decode and play audio programs in these native audio formats:

• Dolby Digital
• Dolby Digital Plus
• Dolby TrueHD
  • DTS Digital
• PCM
• MP3: 32kbps – 320kbps bitrates, including variable bitrate encoding

The audio formats available for any particular program depend on the program and on how you have configured your BDS receiver in the Audio Settings menu:

Available Audio Formats

	2.0- and 2.1- Channel Setup Configuration	3.1-Channel Setup Configuration	5.1-Channel Setup Configuration
2.1-Channel Programs	Dolby Virtual Speaker Wide (default)/Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference/Stereo	Original (default)/ Dolby PLII Movie/ Dolby PLII Music/ Dolby Virtual Speaker Wide/Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference/Stereo	Original (default)/ Dolby PLII Movie/ Dolby PLII Music/ Dolby Virtual Speaker Wide/Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference/Stereo
3.1-Channel Programs	Dolby Virtual Speaker Wide (default)/Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference/Stereo	Original (default)/ Dolby Virtual Speaker Wide/Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference/Stereo	Original (default)/ Dolby PLII Movie/ Dolby PLII Music/ Dolby Virtual Speaker Wide/Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference/Stereo
4.1-/5.1-/6.1- Channel Programs	Dolby Virtual Speaker Wide (default)/Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference/Stereo	Dolby Virtual Speaker Wide (default)/Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference/Stereo	Original (default)/ Dolby Virtual Speaker Wide/Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference/Stereo

To switch between the available surround-sound modes for the program currently playing, press the Surround button. Each press of the Surround button will change to the next available mode in line. A pop-up display will appear on the TV, showing the modes as you cycle through them.

Listening Through Headphones

Your BDS receiver's headphone connection accepts a standard 1/8-inch (3.5mm) stereo headphone plug. When you insert the headphone plug into the connector, the receiver's speaker outputs will mute; the HDMI audio output will not mute.

When headphones are connected to the receiver's Headphone jack, pressing the remote's Surround button cycles between these two modes:

• HARMAN headphone, which virtualizes a multichannel surround soundtrack down to two channels. This mode retains the soundtrack's original directional cues, allowing you to enjoy an enveloping surround-sound experience on any ordinary pair of stereo headphones.
• Headphone Bypass, which downmixes surround-sound programs into normal stereo. This mode does not retain any multichannel directional cues that may be in the original surround-sound program.

Using the Disc Player

Disc Handling Precautions

- To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface.

Illustration of two hands holding a CD or DVD disc, no text or symbols present

• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc. If there is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc, remove the substance completely before using the disc.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight, as there can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.
  • After playing, store the disc in its case.
• Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other sharp writing utensils.
• Be careful not to drop or bend the disc.

Disc Cleaning Precautions

• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

Regional Coding

Your BDS receiver is designed to be compatible with region management information that is encoded on most Blu-ray Disc recordings and DVD recordings. If there is a region code on a disc other than the one your BDS receiver is designed for, it will not play in your BDS receiver.

See the sidebar box on page 2 for complete information about your receiver's region coding.

Copyright

Audio-visual material may consist of copyrighted works that must not be recorded without the permission of the owner of the copyright. Please refer to relevant laws covering copyright protection.

Copy Protection

Your BDS receiver is in compliance with HDCP (High-Definition Copy Protection), and a video display connected via the HDMI output must also be HDCP-compliant.

The BDS receiver supports Rovi copy protection. On Blu-ray Disc recordings and DVD discs that include a copy-protection code, if the contents of the disc are copied using a VCR, the copy-protection code prevents the videotape copy from playing normally.

Supported Disc Formats

The BDS receiver can play the following types of discs (5"/12cm, and 3"/8cm size):

• BD-Video (single-layer or double-layer)
• DVD-Video
- DVD+R/+RW
- DVD-R/-RW
• CDDA (CD digital audio)
- CD-R/RW

NOTE: The compatibility and performance of dual-layer discs is not guaranteed.

Supported Media Codecs

The BDS receiver can play media recorded in the following audio/video codecs:

• MPEG 2
  H.264
  • VC-1
  • MP3 (from CD-R/RW, DVD+R/+RW, BD-R/RE and USB)
  • JPEG (from CD-R/RW, DVD+R/+RW, BD-R/RE and USB)
  • DivX 3.x/4.x/5.x (from CD-R/RW, DVD+R/+RW and USB)

NOTE: Due to differences in the formats of certain discs, some discs may include a mix of features, some of which are not compatible with the disc player. Similarly, although Blu-ray Disc recordings and DVDs are capable of a wide range of features, not every disc includes every capability of its system. For example, although the BDS receiver is compatible with multi-angle discs, the multi-angle feature is possible only when the disc is specially encoded for multiple-angle play. To make certain that a specific feature or soundtrack option is available, please check the options noted on the disc jacket.

The playback capability of recordable discs may vary due to variations in the quality of the disc and the recorder used to create the disc.

Loading and Playing a Disc

Hold the disc horizontally when loading it, and insert it gently into the Disc slot. The disc loading mechanism will take the disc and slide it into the unit.

• Do not load more than one disc into the Disc slot.
  • Do not load the disc upside down.

After loading a disc into the player, press the Play button to begin playback.

Use the Play, Pause, Stop, Prev/Step, Next/Step, Search Forward/Slow and Search Reverse/Slow buttons to control disc playback. See Remote Control Functions, on page 8, for more information about the functions of these buttons.
