IMPORTANT NOTES:

This manual describes the working of your complete Harman Kardon Digital Lounge system, and replaces the individual manuals found in some of the components of your system.

Only use the Digital Lounge system 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.

Important Safety Information

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

Your Digital Lounge system has been designed for use with 220-240-Volt AC current.

Connection to a line voltage other than that for which it is intended can create a safety and fire hazard and may damage the system.

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.

Do Not Use Extension Cords

To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cords attached to your system components. We do not recommend that extension cords be used with this product. As with all electrical devices, do not run power cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy objects on them. Damaged power cords should be replaced immediately by an authorized service depot with a cord meeting factory specifications.

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 system 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 the system components. Opening the cabinets or rear panels may present a shock hazard, and any modification to the system components will void your guarantee. If water or any metal object such as a paper clip, wire or a staple accidentally falls inside the system components, disconnect them from the AC power source immediately, and consult an authorized service station.

Installation Location

To assure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the system components on a firm and level surface. When placing any of the system components on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the product.
Make certain that proper space is provided both above and below the system components 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.
- Do not place the system components directly on a carpeted surface.
- Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, or an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment.
Avoid moist or humid locations.
- Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of the system components, or place objects directly over them.
The display surface of the screen is sensitive to pressure and scratching. Treat the display surface with care in order to avoid lasting damage.
If the screen is brought into its operating room from cold surroundings, condensation can occur. Wait until the device has reached room temperature and is absolutely dry before you put it into operation.
The screen will set itself automatically to a mains voltage in the range of 100V to 240V . Ensure that the local mains voltage does not exceed and is not less than this range.
The screen may be connected to an earthed mains outlet only.
The On-Off switch does not disconnect the set from the mains voltage. For complete disconnection from the mains voltage you must pull out the mains plug.

The set must be disposed of as special waste in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations. The safety regulations that apply to luminous materials have to be taken into account for handling and disposal purposes.
The backlight of the LCD TV contains mercury. The safety regulations that apply to fluorescent tubes have to be taken into account for handling and disposal purposes.
For PC operation use a screen saver with moving pictures and activate the power management for your display to avoid screen "burns" being caused by still pictures.
Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable/accessible.

Cleaning

When the system components gets dirty, wipe it with the soft, dry cloth and the special ScreenClean liquid that is supplied with your Harman Kardon Digital Lounge product. 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 system components.

Moving the Unit

Before moving the system components, be certain to disconnect any interconnection cords with other components, and make certain that you disconnect the components from the AC outlet.

Unpacking

Before unpacking the screen, please take the protective white gloves from the accessory tool box. These gloves allow you to unpack the screen without damaging the screen and its high gloss finish.

The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new DVD player/receiver, TV and loudspeakers 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 components 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.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

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.

Full HD and HD Ready

High Definition (HD) is the future broadcast standard, delivering much higher video resolution. The "HD ready" logo is introduced by the European Industry Association for Information Systems (EICTA). It is a quality sign for the differentiation of display equipment, capable of processing and displaying these new HD signals, awarded on the basis of minimum functionality requirements.

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. HDMI is the first and only digital interface for Consumer Electronics devices that can carry uncompressed high-definition video, and command data, allowing customers to obtain pure digital high-definition video.

Digital Visual Interface™ (DVI) Input The DVI input provides a high speed, digital connection for visual data types. The interface is primary focused at providing a connection between a computer and the display.

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)

HDCP is a specification developed to protect digital entertainment content across the DVI/HDMI interface. The HDCP specification provides a robust, and transparent method for transmitting and receiving digital entertainment content from our Harman Kardon Digital Lounge DVD-Audio/Video player to the DVI/HDMI-inputs on the Harman Kardon Digital Lounge display.

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.

Progressive scan: Due to the immense data storage capacity of DVD, images are nowadays stored progressively (intact, rather than interlaced). This allows all of the lines in each frame (odd and even) to be shown at the same time. Harman Kardon Digital Lounge comes with true progressive scan video output resulting in a 40% greater light output than a conventional TV and a stunningly detailed, high definition image with absence of visible scanlines and motion artifacts.

Advanced Analog Signal Conversion (AASC) Technology

Standard definition analog TV tuners broadcast an image of 576 lines; LCD screens have a resolution that have much more available scan lines. If an analog tuner signal is not handled appropriately, the picture quality of analog tuner signals on higher definition screens risks looking distorted, with pixels being clearly visible, sharp edges and a loss of definition.

Our systems use Advanced Analog Signal Conversion technology to optimize the picture coming from analog tuners. The result is a very defined and smooth picture that is comparable with digital images coming from higher resolution, digital tuners.

DVB-T

DVB-T stands for Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial and it is the European consortium standard for the broadcast transmission of Digital terrestrial television.

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 you've loaded the disc. 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 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 player's 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.

NOTE: Due to differences in the format of certain discs, it is possible that some discs may include a mix of features that are not compatible with the DVD. Similarly, although the DVD is capable of a wide range of features, not all discs include every capability of the DVD system. For example, although the DVD is compatible with multi-angle discs, that feature is only possible when the disc is specially encoded for multiple angle play. In addition, the DVD is capable of playing back both Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks, but the number and types of tracks available will vary from disc to disc. To make certain that a specific feature or soundtrack option is available, please check the options noted on the disc jacket.

• Playback capability for CD-R, CD-RW, WMA, JPEG, MP3, DivX, VCD/SVCD, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs may vary due to variations in the quality of the disc and the recorder used to create the disc.

The Digital Lounge system is compatible with most discs recorded with files encoded using MP3 or Windows Media 9, as well as JPEG still images. However, note that variations in the encoder or codec used and the bit rate of the encoding may affect the Digital Lounge system's ability to play back a specific disc. As a result, we cannot guarantee complete compatibility with all encoders and versions of the CODECs. For best results, we recommend that MP3 files be encoded at bit rates ranging between 32kbps and 320kbps. WMA files should be encoded at bit rates between 64kbps and 320kbps. Although the Digital Lounge systems is capable of playing some WMA 9 files, not all features of version 9 are supported. JPEG Files should not be created with the SRGB or CMYK mode.

Upgradeability via Internet

The "firmware" controlling the functionality of the Harman Kardon Digital Lounge system 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 DVD for an automatic upgrade. You can also load the upgrade on a portable mass storage device to connect to any of the two USB inputs.

About This Manual

• The types of functions and operations that can be used for a particular disc vary depending on the features of that disc. In some cases, these functions and operations may differ from the descriptions given in this manual. In this event, follow the instructions given on the screen. This manual only covers basic disc operations.
• For some operations, the icon may appear on the screen. This indicates that the operation described in this manual is not available on the disc in the player.
• On-screen and front panel display illustrations in this manual are purely for the purposes of explanation. The actual displays may differ slightly from these illustrations.

Disc handling precautions

• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface.
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc. If there is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc, remove the glue completely before using the disc.

• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or 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 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.

Disc installing precautions

• Do not install more than 1 disc on disc tray.
• Do not place the disc on the tray up-side down.
• Do not try to close the disc tray when the disc is not installed and centered properly.

Regional Coding

DVD players and discs are designed with regional restrictions which dictate the regions in which a disc can be played. If the region number on the disc you want to play does not match the region number of your DVD player, you will not be able to play the disc. The message "REGION ERR" will appear in the front panel display.

The region code of this player is indicated on the rear and on the external packaging.

Important basic principles for use

The LCD meets the highest quality requirements and has been checked for pixel defects. Despite taking the greatest care during production of these units, for technological reasons it cannot be excluded absolutely that there are some pixels with defects.

We request your understanding for the fact that such defects, provided that they are within the limits specified by the standard, cannot be considered to be as an appliance defect in the terms of the warranty.

If used for a long period of time as a PC screen, shadows can occur on the screen as with any other TV set. This phenomenon with LCD screens can be reduced by heeding the following points:

• do not display a still picture for a long period of time
• use your display in full screen format (16:9)
• activate the screen saver
• display moving images as far as possible
• always switch off the display when it is not being used
• reduce the contrast and brightness as much as possible.

Unfavourable conditions can cause your screen to hum. The humming generally comes from the mains voltage supply and can occur through the connection of different earth conductors. You can provide a remedy by putting a so-called sheath current filter between the incoming aerial lead and the aerial input socket on the display. Sheath-type current filters are offered in the form of a small adaptor plug in the retail trade.

If your display is connected to an external aerial, the latter must be earthed as protection against electric shocks and static charging. The earthing must comply with the valid regulations.

If using it as a PC screen, we recommend for ergonomic reasons that you avoid the use of red and blue fonts or symbols against dark backgrounds.

To avoid aching eyes and obtain an optimized viewing distance, the distance from the unit should be five to six times the display's diagonal dimension. In your television room it should be so light that you could also read. Too little light strains the eyes due to the alternation between light and dark on the display.

Cleaning the Screen

Before you start any cleaning, turn off the unit and disconnect the mains plug from the plug outlet.

Cleaning the screen

The Harman Kardon Digital Lounge screens come with a special cleaning kit that allows for proper cleaning without damaging the screen or its high gloss finish. Use the mild detergent and soft cloth only. Do not use any abrasives!

Cleaning the housing

The cleaning kit can also be used to clean the housing of the screen.

Do not use any chemical solvents or cleaning agents for cleaning the housing, otherwise the surface of the unit could get damaged.

If you clean the surface of the housing with a wet cloth, drops of water can get inside the unit, which will cause malfunctions. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment for cleaning the ventilating openings.

Important Note

Please open the Harman Kardon Digital Lounge Accessory Tool Kit before opening any of the other system components. The Kit contains two pairs of gloves, that can be used to unpack the LCD screen without damaging its frame nor leaving fingerprints on it.

After unpacking the different system components, and placing them on a solid surface capable of supporting their weight, you will need to make the connections to your audio and video equipment.

Equipment Connections

We recommend that you use the supplied cables when making connections to source equipment and high quality interconnect cables to additional equipment to preserve the integrity of the signals.

When making connections to audio source equipment or speakers it is always a good practice to unplug the units from the AC wall outlet. This prevents any possibility of accidentally sending audio or transient signals to the speakers that may damage them.

Making the necessary connections to the Digital Lounge system is done in five easy steps.

1. Connect the speaker outputs to the speakers.

Cables that are run inside walls should have the appropriate markings to indicate listing with any appropriate testing agency standards. Questions about running cables inside walls should be referred to your installer or a licensed electrician who is familiar with the applicable local building codes in your area.

When connecting wires to the speakers, be certain to observe proper polarity. Note that the positive (+) terminal of each speaker connection now carries a specific color code. However, most speakers will still use a red terminal for the positive (+) connection. Connect the "negative" or "black" wire to the same terminal on both the receiver and the speaker.

We also recommend that the length of cable used to connect speaker pairs be identical. For example, use the same length piece of cable to connect the front-left and front-right or surround-left and surround-right speakers, even if the speakers are a different distance from the Digital Lounge system controller.

1. Connections to the subwoofer are made via a line level audio connection from the Subwoofer Output 3 to the line-level SUB input (purple) of the subwoofer. Connect at the same time the Subwoofer Trigger Output 16 to the Trigger Input of the subwoofer.
2. Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM (75 ohm) connection ⑥. The FM antenna may be an external roof antenna, an inside powered or wire lead antenna or a connection from a cable system. Note that if the antenna or connection uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you should use a 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adapter to make the connection.
3. Your system comes with an combined HDMI/SP-DIF/Remote in/out cable to make a digital video connection over HDMI and digital audio connection from the TV to the DVD receiver. Connect the HDMI connector on one end of the wire to the HDMI Output 1 of the receiver and the other end to the HDMI Input 0 of the screen. Connect the Coaxial Digital connector on one end of the cable to the Coaxial Digital Input 9 of the receiver and the other end to the Coaxial Digital Output H of the screen.

Connect one end of the remote connector (the single pin connector) to the Remote Input of the screen and the other end to the Remote Input of the DVD Receiver. Please note that you may run the remote signal both ways. If you decide that it is easiest for you to control both screen and receiver by pointing the remote control towards the screen, plug the remote cable into the Remote Control Out of the screen and into the Remote Control In of the receiver. If your setup makes it more practical to aim the remote at the receiver to control both receiver and screen, plug the remote cable into the Remote Control Out of the receiver and into the Remote Control In of the screen.

1. If you use a standard analog TV antenna, connect to the Antenna Input 1 on the rear panel of the screen. In case you use a DVB-T antenna, connect that one to the DVB-T Input 2 on the rear panel of the screen.

All necessary connections are now made. If you have additional source components to add, please refer to the next paragraphs. If not, please continue with the next chapter of the manual.

Optional Analog Set Top or Cable Box Connections

If you do not use an aerial antenna but a set top box or cable box to watch TV, please follow the instructions below to connect these products.

SCART

If you decide to connect your set top or cable box to your system using a Scart cable, connect the Scart output of the set top or cable box to one of the Scart Inputs on the rear panel of the screen.

YUV/Component

If you decide to connect your set top or cable box to your system using a YUV or Component cable, connect the YUV outputs of the set top or cable box to the YUV Inputs E on the rear panel of the screen. At the same time connect the analog audio outputs of the box to the Audio Input for Component Video Jacks O on the rear panel of the screen, or the digital output of the box to the Coaxial Digital Input P .

Screen Placement

Note: Please use the supplied pair of gloves found in the Tool Kit when placing the screen. This will prevent the high gloss finish of the screen to be scratched or damaged. The screen comes delivered with an integrated stand, that has a dedicated place for the system's center loudspeaker. Place the screen and the stand on a surface that is strong enough to support its weight.

You can also opt for hanging the screen on the wall. Note that the screen should be mounted on vertical walls only that are capable of bearing three times the weight of the screen (see page 46 for the weight of your screen). We recommend you to do the mounting with two people. Before installing the screen on the wall, make sure that it is switched off and that the mains cable and signal cables are unplugged. Protect the front of the screen using the cloth bag and turn the screen so that its front is pointing downwards and place it carefully on a completely flat and firm surface.

Loosen and remove the 8 screws (M4x5) in the stand. Please keep the screws in a safe place in case you would like to re-install the screen on the stand in the future.

Look at the attached drilling template in the accessory pack to determine the appropriate distance between the two holes in the wall for your individual display size.

Fit two plugs and hooks capable of carrying three times the weight of the screen in the wall and position the screen so that the hooks can be introduced into the openings provided for this purpose on the rear side of the screen.

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 42.

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 Digital Lounge 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.

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 Standard: Select PAL (Europe), NTSC (USA) or Automatic (recommended setting). This option is relevant only if you wish to use the DL DVD receiver with another screen than the one included, and only if this screen utilizes another standard.

Video Mode: In most cases, the "automatic" mode is your best choice, as it senses whether the disc being played was originally recorded on video or shot on film. However, in some cases you may wish to compensate for errors in the disc authoring that occur when the lag for the film mode detection is not properly set when films are converted to video.

• Auto: This is the recommended setting, as it lets the DVD player analyze the signals from the DVD and adjust the output accordingly.
• Movie: Choose this option for optimal playback of material that was shot on film, even though you are viewing it on video via a DVD.
  Video: Choose this option for optimal playback of material that was shot directly to video, such as concerts and sports programming.

TV Functions

The Digital Lounge system offers several TV functions that require special attention. Please make yourself familiar with these functions by reading the chapter below.

To switch on the TV, press the TV Button 1 on the remote control. The Digital Lounge system will switch on, shown by the amber Power On indicator switching to blue. Please note that for all the functions described below, the system needs to be in TV mode. When TV tuner signal is not shown on the screen, press the TV button again.

Changing Channels

Once the TV has been selected as input, channels can be changed by pressing the number of the TV channel using the numeric keys 29 on the remote control. For any of the channels that are stored at preset 10 and above, first press the first digit, quickly followed by the second digit.

Channels can also be changed with the Preset Up and Down Buttons 22. Each press of these buttons will select the next or previous TV channel. When you are changing a TV channel, a mini bar will appear on the right top of the screen, showing the selected TV channel and it's name.

Picture in Picture (PIP) Function

With this function you can watch two video inputs simultaneously on your Digital Lounge display. The second video input can either be shown in the right corner of the display, or the display can simply be divided in two equally big squares, each of them showing another video input. All video inputs that are connected to the display can be selected to run as a second video source, however there are some exceptions. If the HDMI, DVI, or YUV inputs have been chosen as main video input, the second video input can not be HDMI, DVI or YUV. Please note that only the analog TV tuner can be used in connection with PIP functions. The Digital (DVB-T) Tuner is not available for PIP use, even if it has been selected during Setup.

To activate the function, press the Picture in Picture (PIP) Button on the remote control. You will see that the second source will appear in a square on the right top of the screen. At the same time a mini bar will appear showing the two video inputs currently watched. The video input shown on the top is the original video input, and the one shown below is the second video input. Pressing the PIP Button again will show both video inputs in the same size. Pressing the PIP Button a third time will de-activate the Picture in Picture function.

When the Picture in Picture function is active, the main picture can be selected by the Numeric Key Buttons (29) (when TV tuner is source) and the secondary picture by the Presets Buttons (22) while pressing the PC or VIDEO Source Selection buttons (1) will toggle through all available PC and Video sources.

Aspect Ratio

The Digital Lounge display allows for watching video sources in several aspect ratios. The default setting is Fill All and can be set to your personal taste for each individual input, as described on page 26. Should you wish to temporarily change the aspect ratio of a video input, press the Screen Format Button repeatedly until you have found your preferred picture format. With each press of the button, the current aspect ratio will be shown in the mini bar on the right top of the screen. Below is a short description of the different picture formats:

Available picture formats for TV signals

Normal: This format setting displays a PAL 4:3 picture with the correct side ratio. Dark stripes are visible on the left and right-hand edges of the picture.

Fill all: In this format setting the picture is adapted in horizontal direction until the screen's width is filled completely. This format is needed to display all so called "Widescreen" (also named "16:9" or anamorphic) movies with optimal size and aspect ratio that will be stretched vertically in the "Normal" mode (see below).

16:9: In this mode the picture is scaled horizontally to the complete picture width, approx. 25% in total being cut off the top and bottom of the picture recorded with 4:3 format.

Available picture formats for PC signals over the DVI input

When you have a computer connected to the DVI input, the following picture formats can be chosen:

Normal: Displays the PC picture filling the complete height of the screen, without changing the side ratio. Dark stripes are visible on the left and righthand edges of the picture depending on the input format of the PC picture.

Fill All, 16:9: These are the same settings as with TV source described above.

14:9: With a 14:9 zoom the picture is enlarged vertically by a total of 15 % , i.e. approx. 15 % of the picture content is cut off vertically. Horizontally the picture is reduced in size in comparison with the full picture display by 15 %, i.e. narrow bars are displayed on the right and left. This mode is a good compromise to enlarge "4:3" video material (like e.g. from the TV tuner) and keeping the correct aspect ratio without cutting too much on top and bottom of the picture. It can also be used with non-

anamorphic pictures that will show a small frame around in Normal mode.

One to one: With this setting the number of visible screen pixels is adapted to the input signal, i.e. 1366 x 768 pixels are always reproduced by the PC picture for a screen resolution of 1366 x 768 while e.g. the frequently used PC graphics card resolution 1024 x 768 will fill the height of the screen and keep big black bars on the sides (as with a 4:3 video). This PC mode is recommended for getting PC Pictures with optimal performance.

Available picture formats for all other video sources

Normal, Fill All, 16:9, 14:9: These are the same settings as with TV and PC source described above.

Auto zoom: This function is available with TV and analog inputs only. With the SCART inputs selected it evaluates the current picture format and switches automatically between normal mode and Fill All depending of the signal format (4:3, 16:9) received and the settings for the Aspect Ratio Detection made in the Scart Setup menu (see page 29). With other analog inputs selected, this function will sense black bars around the movie and, after some seconds, zoom it in all directions, filling the width of the screen while keeping the aspect ratio of the original.

This mode should be used for the full screen display of any non-anamorphic letterbox video material (with a black frame around).

16:9 Top: Select with picture in letterbox format as described above but with subtitles below. This will zoom the video and shift it upwards.

14:9 Top: Select with same pictures as above but with subtitles below. This will zoom the video and shift it upwards.

Panorama: This format setting scales the input signal automatically in horizontal direction to fit the full screen, but not linearly. i.e. the picture contents in the centre of the screen are displayed as the original and towards the edges more intense scaling takes place. This mode can be used to fill the screen horizontally with "4:3" material without affecting the centre part of the video too much.

Teletext

Teletext, also known as Videotext, is an information system broadcast by some TV-channels. It can be consulted like an interactive newspaper for the latest news, sports and entertainment. Harman Kardon Digital Lounge teletext also offers access to subtitles for hearing impaired viewers. Colored buttons on the remote control give direct access to various pages, depending on the TV-channel.

To activate the teletext function, press the Teletext Button on the remote control. A first press will display the teletext instead of the TV channel you were watching. A second press will show both the TV channel you were watching to and the teletext next to each other. Pressing the Teletext Button again will de-activate the teletext function. It is also possible to have the teletext page shown with the TV image in the background. In order to do so, press the Mix Button when Teletext has been activated.

The first page of the teletext that will be displayed is always page 100, an index page used by all channels. Other pages can be searched for by pressing the page number on the top of the screen with the help of the Numeric Keys 23 of the remote control. At all times, the index page can be re-called by pressing the PG 100 Button 57.

Once you have teletext on your screen, you will see that there are 4 colored squares on the bottom of the screen, each with a specific teletext page number in it. These colored buttons correspond to the colored buttons 5 24 25 30 on the remote control. Pressing the corresponding colored button on the remote control will select the page highlighted in the square. Note that the shown pages are dynamic, and change with each button press.

Some teletext pages contain additional sub pages. These sub pages can be selected directly by pressing the SUB PG Button on the remote control. Each button press will increment the sub page number to enable direct selection of the sub pages.

Note that as long as Teletext is activated no other source can be selected on the screen.

Learning Codes from a Remote

The Digital Lounge remote is able to "learn" codes from other remote controls that might be part of your system setup, like the one from your TV. To learn or transfer codes from an IR remote to the DL's remote, follow these steps:

1. Place the front of the original remote with the code being sent so that it is facing the IR Transmitter Window 33 on the DL remote "head-to-head." The remotes should be between 2 and 4cm apart.
2. Select the button on the remote that you wish to use as the device selector for the codes about to be entered. You can use the buttons VIDEO, PC, HDMI 1-2-3, The buttons TV, DVD and the six Audio On buttons cannot be used for programming.

No power.

• Is the power cord firmly plugged into the power outlet?
• One of the safety mechanisms may be operating. In this event, unplug the player from the power outlet briefly and then plug it in again.

No picture.

• Check that the system is connected correctly and securely.
• The video cable may be damaged. Replace it with a new one.
• Make sure the system is connected to a video input on the TV (see page 12).
• Make sure the TV is turned on.
• Make sure the correct video input on the TV is selected for viewing with this system.

Noise (interference) appears in the picture.

• Clean the disc.
• If video from this system has to go through your VCR to get to your TV, the copy-protection applied to some DVD programs could affect picture quality. If you still experience problems after checking your connections, please try connecting your DVD system directly to your TV's S-Video input.

The aspect ratio of the screen is wrong (picture vertically expanded) when you play a wide picture by the player or an external source connected to the screen even though you set "TV DISPLAY" in the SETUP menu to "Auto".

• If you connect the system or the external source with the SCART cable, connect directly to the TV. Otherwise the autoswitch function of the aspect ratio for the TV may not work.
• If the TV is not connected with a SCART cable to the DL (as recommended) or the external source, or if the autoswitch function does not work you should turn the TV to "Fill All".

There is no sound or volume is very low

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.

Dolby Pro Logic II Surround

This is a method of decoding stereo or surround recordings that produces five channels from two-channel 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.

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 DVD's 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 (particular US) DVD's 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.
