Thank You for Choosing harman kardon

®

Products!

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. Each BDS series system also includes a 5.1-channel, 2.1-channel or soundbar loudspeaker system, a system remote control and all the cables and accessories you need to enjoy movies and music in your own home, when you use them with your television or video display.

To get the maximum enjoyment from your new BDS system, we urge you to read this manual thoroughly and refer back to it as you become more familiar with your new system’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 110 – 240-volt, 50Hz/60Hz AC current.

Your subwoofer has been designed for use with either 120-volt, 60Hz or 220 – 240-volt,

50/60Hz AC current, depending on where your system was sold. The receiver includes a detachable IEC power cable designed for use in the region where the system is sold.

Connection to a line voltage other than that for which the units are intended can create a safety and fire hazard and may damage the units. 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 player 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

s 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.

s 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.

s Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.

s Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations or in an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment.

s Avoid moist or humid locations.

s 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.

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

s Due to the heat generated by the receiver and other components in your system, 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.

s Your new harman kardon ® Blu-ray Disc ™ player requires a broadband Internet connection for BD-Live ™ interactivity.

Cleaning

Receiver

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.

Speakers and Subwoofer

When needed, use a soft cloth to remove any fingerprints or dust from the enclosures or grilles. NOTE: Do not use any cleaning products or polishes on the enclosures or grilles.

Moving the Receiver

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

NOTE: The built-in Blu-ray Disc/DVD player in your BDS receiver is designed and manufactured for compatibility with region management information that is encoded on most Blu-ray Disc recordings and DVD recordings: s BDS receivers sold in the USA are designed only for playback of discs with Blu-Ray Disc Region Code A and DVD Region Code 1 information, or for discs that do not contain any region code information.

s BDS receivers sold in Europe are designed only for playback of discs with

Blu-ray Disc Region Code B and DVD Region Code 2 information, or for discs that do not contain region code information.

If there is a region code on a disc other than the one your BDS player is designed for, it will not play in your BDS receiver.

NOTE: See the Connections section, on page 14, for detailed information about making connections.

AC Power Connector: After you have made and verified all other connections, plug the supplied AC power cord into this input and into an unswitched AC outlet.

Main Power Switch: This mechanical switch turns the BDS receiver’s power supply on or off. After you have made and verified all connections (see the Connections section, on page 14), set this switch in the On position. During normal use you will usually leave this switch set to On; it cannot be turned on or off using the remote control. To conserve energy when you’re not going to be using the receiver for an extended period of time, set this switch to Off.

Speaker Connectors: Use the speaker wires supplied with the speakers to connect the satellite and center speakers to the proper terminals. s The BDS 5 receiver (shown) has connections for five speakers: front left, front right, surround left, surround right and center.

s The BDS 2 receiver (not shown) has connections for two speakers: front left and front right.

See Connections, on page 14, for more information.

Subwoofer Output: Use the supplied mono RCA audio cable (with the purple connectors) to connect this jack to the subwoofer’s Line-Level In LFE jack.

See Connecting the Subwoofer, on page 16, for more details about making connections.

BD-Live Connector: To be able to use the BD-Live feature, connect this port to your local area network (LAN) using a Cat. 5/Cat. 5e/RJ-45 network cable. See BD-Live

Interactivity, on page 25, for details.

The Bridge IIIP

Connector

Optical Digital Inputs: Connect the optical digital output of an audio-only source component here. The signal may be a Dolby ® Digital bitstream, a DTS ® bitstream or a standard PCM digital-audio bitstream.

NOTE: Use only one type of digital connection for each source component.

Coaxial Digital Input: Connect the coaxial digital output of an audio-only source component here. The signal may be a Dolby Digital bitstream, a DTS bitstream or a standard PCM digital-audio bitstream.


HDMI Output (HDMI ver. 1.3a): Connect the BDS receiver’s HDMI output to your

TV’s HDMI input. Since the HDMI cable transmits both video and audio to the TV, we recommend that you set the receiver’s HDMI audio output to Off in the receiver’s

Audio menu to take full advantage of your BDS system’s superior audio performance.

See Audio Settings, on page 21, for more information.

IMPORTANT: Your BDS receiver is in compliance with HDCP (High-Definition Copy

Protection). Your TV must also be HDCP-compliant to be used with the BDS receiver’s

HDMI output. For best results, we do not recommend HDMI connections in excess of ten feet (about 3 meters) without a repeater. If your TV has a DVI input, you may use an optional HDMI-to-DVI cable or adapter for the video connection to the TV. (The

DVI connection is video-only.)

Analog Audio Inputs 1 and 2: Use these inputs to connect to an audio-only source component (such as a tape deck). Do not connect a turntable to these jacks without a phono preamp.

The Bridge IIIP Connector: Connect The Bridge IIIP iPod/iPhone dock (available separately) to this terminal.

FM Antenna Connector: Connect the supplied FM antenna to this terminal.

Phase Switch: This switch determines whether the subwoofer driver’s piston-like action moves in and out in phase with the satellite speakers. If the subwoofer were to play out of phase with the satellite speakers, the sound waves produced by the subwoofer could be cancelled out, reducing bass performance and sonic impact.

This phenomenon depends in part on the relative placement of all the speakers in the room.

Although in most cases the Phase switch should be left in the “Normal” position, there is no absolutely correct setting for it. When the subwoofer is properly in phase with the satellite speakers, the sound will be clearer and have maximum impact.

It will make percussive sounds like drums, piano and plucked strings sound more lifelike. The best way to set the Phase switch is to listen to music that you are familiar with and set the switch in the position that gives drums and other percussive sounds maximum impact.

Bass-Boost Switch: Set this switch to “On” to enhance the subwoofer’s lowfrequency performance. Set this switch to “Off” for normal low-frequency performance.

Power-On Mode Switch: When this switch is set in the “Auto” position and when the Power switch is set to “On,” the subwoofer will automatically turn itself on when it receives an audio signal. It will enter the Standby mode if it receives no audio signal for 20 minutes. When the Power-On Mode switch is set in the “On” position, the subwoofer will remain on whether or not it is receiving an audio signal.

An LED on the subwoofer’s top panel indicates whether the subwoofer is in the On or Standby mode: s s

When the Main Power Switch is set to Off, the LED will not light up, no matter what setting the Power-On Mode switch is in.

Subwoofer Level Control: Use this control to adjust the subwoofer’s volume. Turn clockwise to increase the volume; turn counterclockwise to decrease the volume.

External Trigger Input Connector: NOTE: This connector is NOT used with the

BDS receiver. If you connect the subwoofer to a different component that has a voltage trigger output connection, connect the External Trigger Input to the trigger output of the other compatible component. Whenever the subwoofer detects a trigger signal between 3V and 30V (AC or DC), the subwoofer’s amplifier will turn on. The subwoofer’s amplifier will turn off after the trigger signal ceases, even when the Power-On Mode switch is in the “Auto” position.

Line-Level In LFE Connector: Use the supplied mono RCA audio cable (with the purple connectors) to connect the Line-Level In LFE connector to the BDS receiver’s

Subwoofer output.

Line-Level In L/R Connectors: NOTE: These connectors are NOT used with the

BDS receiver. If you connect the subwoofer to a different receiver that does not have a dedicated, low-pass-filtered subwoofer output, use these connectors.

s If the receiver has a separate subwoofer output, use the supplied mono RCA audio cable to connect the receiver or preamp/processor’s subwoofer output to either one of the subwoofer’s Line-Level In L/R connectors.

s If your receiver or preamp/processor does not have a separate subwoofer output, use two Y-adapters (not supplied). Connect one adapter’s single end to the unit’s preamp output for that channel. Connect one of this adapter’s dual ends to the main amp input for that channel, and connect the adapter’s other dual end to one of the subwoofer’s Line-Level In L/R connectors. Repeat this process with the other Y-adapter, preamp channel, main amp input and subwoofer’s Line-Level In L/R connector.

Main Power Switch: Set this switch in the On position to turn the subwoofer on.

The subwoofer will then either be on or in Standby mode, depending on the setting of the subwoofer’s Power-On Mode switch.

Power Cord: After you have made and verified all subwoofer and speaker connections described in this manual, plug the Power cord into an active, unswitched electrical outlet for proper operation of the subwoofer. DO NOT plug this cord into the accessory outlets found in some audio components.

Place the front speakers the same distance from each other as they are from the listening position. Place them at about the same height from the floor as the listener’s ears will be.

You can also angle them toward the listener.

Placing the Center Speaker (BDS 800 and BDS 700 systems only)

Since our ears do not hear directional sound at the low frequencies where the subwoofer operates, it will perform well from just about any location in your room. However, the best bass reproduction is likely to be heard if you place the subwoofer in a corner along the same wall as the front left and right speakers.

You can experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily placing the subwoofer in the listening position and playing music with strong bass content. Move around to various locations in the room while the system is playing, and listen until you find the location where the bass performance is best. Place the subwoofer in that location.

You should place the two surround speakers slightly behind the listening position, facing each other, 5 – 6 feet (1.5m – 1.8m) from the floor. An alternate location would be on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. The surround speakers should not call attention to themselves while they’re playing. Experiment with their placement until you hear a diffuse, ambient sound from the front left, front right and center speakers.

If your TV is located in an entertainment or media center, you can mount the soundbar in a space directly above or below the TV.

WARNING: Do NOT place the soundbar directly on top of a TV or at the front edge of a table or cabinet. It could roll forward and injure someone.

Wall-Mounting the Soundbar

If your TV is attached to a wall, you can use the included wall-mount brackets to mount the soundbar on the wall directly below the TV screen.

1. Determine the location for the soundbar on the wall. Make sure that the top of the soundbar will not block your view of the TV screen when it is mounted on the wall.

2. Mark the locations of the soundbar wall-mount bracket holes on the wall. The holes for the left and right brackets are spaced 600mm apart. The top and bottom holes for each bracket are spaced 25mm apart. See the illustration below.

25mm

600mm

NOTE: To insure that the soundbar will be level, use a carpenter’s level, a laser sight or another device to insure that the two sets of holes are at exactly the same height.

3. Attach the two wall-mount brackets to the wall at the locations you marked, using hardware that is appropriate for the wall’s construction and materials. Note that the soundbar weighs 8.1 lb (3.67kg). Be sure to use hardware that can support this weight.

Wall-Mounting the BDS 800 and BDS 400 Satellite Speakers

IMPORTANT: Read the Connections section, on page 14, before wall-mounting the satellite speakers. You will need to insert the speaker wires through the wall-mount brackets and connect the wires to the speakers during the process of installing the brackets.

NOTE: If you are using your own speaker wire, it must be no thicker than the wire supplied with the speakers. Thicker wire will prevent the wall-mount bracket from sliding onto the speaker.

1. Decide on the location for the speaker (see Placing the Speakers (BDS 800, BDS

700, BDS 400 and BDS 300 Systems), on page 10).

2. Remove the speaker’s base as explained in Shelf Placement, on this page.

3. Disassemble the wall-mount bracket by pulling the two sections apart.

4. After making all of the connections described in the Connections section, on page

14, attach the soundbar to the brackets by sliding the slots in its rubber bumpers onto the brackets’ vertical tabs.

Cable s The BDS 2 receiver uses white to denote the left channel (+) terminal and red for the right channel (+) terminal. Black is used to denote the (–) terminal of both channels.

s The BDS 5 receiver uses the following colors to denote the (+) terminals of the various channels:

Front Left (+): White

Front Right (+): Red

Center (+): Green

Surround Left (+): Blue

Surround Right (+): Gray

Black is used to denote the (–) terminals of all channels on the BDS 5 receiver.

The speaker wires included with your system have colored bands at both ends of the (+) conductor; the colors correspond to the receiver’s (+) terminal colors. This system helps you connect each speaker to the correct receiver or amplifier terminals. In addition to the colored bands at each end, each speaker wire’s (+) terminal has ribs molded into its insulation to help identify it.

Be sure to connect each speaker identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the receiver or amplifier, and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the receiver or amplifier. Miswiring one or more speakers results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.

CAUTION: Make sure the (+) and (–) bare wires do not touch each other or the other terminal. Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage your receiver or amplifier.

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.

s The remote has a range of about 20 feet (6.1m), depending on the lighting conditions. s 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 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

In addition to controlling the BDS receiver, you can program the 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 BDS receiver control mode.

To program the remote to control an Aux component:

1. Look up the codes for the product type (e.g. TV, cable TV box) and the brand name of your source in the Aux Component Remote-Control Code List, on page 30.

2. Turn your auxiliary component on.

3. Press and hold the Aux button for three seconds as it turns red, goes dark and turns red again. Then release the button.

NOTE: The remote will remain in the programming mode for 20 seconds. You must perform Step 4 within 20 seconds.

4. Aim the remote toward the component you just turned on and enter a code number from Step 1, above. If the component turns off, check that its own remote-control buttons control the component as expected. If they do, press the Aux button again to save the code. The button will flash three times and the remote will exit the programming mode.

5. If any of the buttons do not work as expected, or if the device does not turn off when you enter the code number, repeat Step 4 with another code number from the list for that manufacturer.

6. If you run out of codes, you can search through all of the codes in the remote’s library for that product type.

18 a) Press and hold the Aux button for three seconds. The button will turn red, go dark and turn red again. Then release the button.

b) For a conventional US TV, enter ”0999”; for a conventional EU TV, enter “1999”; for an HDTV, enter “2999”; for a US cable box, enter “3999”; for an EU cable box, enter “4999”; for a US satellite tuner, enter “5999”; for an EU satellite tuner, enter “6999.” c) Aim the remote control toward the component and press the remote’s Cursor

Up button. Each press of the button sends the “Power” signal for one setup code number. Holding down the Cursor Up button quickly scans through all of the setup code numbers. d) Release the Cursor Up button as soon as the component turns off. If you pass the correct setup code number, you can return to it by pressing the Cursor

Down button, one setup code number at a time, until the component turns back on.

e) Check that the other remote-control buttons control the component as expected.

If they do, press the Aux source selector button again to save the code. The button will flash three times, and the remote will exit the programming mode.

f) If the remote does not operate as expected, repeat Steps c – e. Note that some components may not respond to all of the above commands and may support only some of the commands listed.

To teach individual button codes to the remote:

You can teach codes from other component remotes onto the BDS receiver remote buttons shown shaded in the following illustration:

Preparing the Remote Control and

Setting Up the Receiver

Programming Remote Control “Punch-Through” Commands

After programming the remote to control an auxiliary (Aux) component, you can also program it so it will control the Aux component’s channel up/down and transport functions (Play, Pause, etc.) even when the remote is not in the Aux-control mode. For example, if the remote is programmed to operate your TV in the Aux control mode, you can also have the TV’s channel +/– functions “punch through” and operate even when the remote is in the Disc, Radio or iPod control modes.

1. Press and hold the button for the main device the remote will be operating. The button will light up, go dark and then light up again. Release the button.

2. Select the type of punch-through programming.

a) For “punch-through” channel control, press the Channel Up button.

b) For “punch-through” transport control, press the Play button.

3. Press the Aux button. The original source button will flash to confirm.

You can repeat Step 1 – Step 3 for any of the remote’s source-selector buttons (Aux,

Radio etc.). NOTE: “Punch-through” channel and transport commands will override the existing commands for those buttons in the source modes you program.

To undo “punch-through” programming, follow the same steps as above, but press the same source selector button in Step 1 and Step 3.

Using the Remote After it is Programmed

Pressing the remote’s Aux source-selector button will put the remote into the auxiliarycontrol mode, and it will control the auxiliary component(s) via the codes you have programmed into it.

HDMI Audio Out: In addition to digital video signals, the BDS receiver’s HDMI connection also carries digital audio signals. Four options are available: s Auto: This option causes the receiver’s HDMI output to output the digital-audio format that best matches the surround-sound decoding capabilities of the component it’s connected to.

s Bitstream Native: This option outputs the program in its native audio format via the

HDMI output.

s PCM: This option outputs a two-channel downmix derived from the program’s native audio format via the HDMI output.

s Off: This option turns the receiver’s HDMI audio output off. We recommend setting this option to “Off,” so you can take full advantage of the superior audio capability of your BDS system’s receiver and speakers.

Dynamic Range Control: This setting makes the loud and quiet parts of a movie or music 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 others.

NOTE: This feature works only with Dolby Digital programs that have been specially encoded. Three settings are available: s Off: Never applies compression. Use this setting when the volume may be as loud as you desire.

s 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.

s Auto: Applies compression based on information encoded in the Dolby Digital bitstream. The receiver will selectively apply compression only during the most dynamic parts of the soundtrack.

Speaker Settings: This setting allows you to set up the receiver to work properly with the speakers included in your BDS system. The available configurations are:

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: s 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.

s 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). s 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: s 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. s 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: s Dolby Digital s Dolby Digital Plus s Dolby TrueHD s DTS Digital s DTS-HD High Resolution Audio s DTS-HD Master Audio ™ s PCM s WMA (DRM-free version only): WMA9, CBR @192kbps, VBR @ 355kbps s 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:

Listening Through Headphones

Your BDS receiver’s headphone connection accepts a standard 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 connector, pressing the remote’s Surround button cycles between these two modes: s 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.

s 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.

Disc Handling Precautions

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

s 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.

s 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.

s After playing, store the disc in its case.

s Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other sharp writing utensils.

s Be careful not to drop or bend the disc.

Using the Disc Player

Disc Cleaning Precautions

s Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

s Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

Regional Coding

BDS receivers sold in the USA are designed only for playback of discs with Blu-Ray Disc region code A and DVD Region Code 1 information, or for discs that do not contain any region code information. BDS receivers sold in Europe are designed only for playback of discs with Blu-ray Disc region code B and DVD Region Code 2 information, or for discs that do not contain region code information.

If there is a region code on a disc other than the one your BDS receiver is designed for, it will not play in the receiver’s disc player.

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 Macrovision 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): s BD-Video (single-layer or double-layer) s DVD-Video s DVD+R/+RW s DVD-R/-RW s CDDA (CD digital audio) s 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: s MPEG 1, Layer 1 s MPEG 2, Layer 2 s MPEG 2, Layer 3 s H.264

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.

Home Button: Pressing the Home button will switch the TV to the Home screen while the radio continues to be heard through the BDS system. To display the Radio Now Playing screen again, press the Exit or Cursor Left button.

Setting and Recalling Preset Stations

You can set up to 30 preset stations for easy recall.

To set the currently tuned-in station as a preset:

1. Press and hold the OK button for three seconds. The bottom line of the receiver’s information display will read “Set Preset _ _,” with the “_ _” characters flashing.

2. Use the number buttons to enter the preset number you want the current station saved to. If you do not enter a number within ten seconds, the display line will revert back to the RDS text readout for the current station.

To listen to a preset station:

Press the Channel + or Channel – button. The radio will tune to the next higher or lower preset station.

– OR –

Use the number buttons to enter the preset number.

s For presets 1 – 9, press the corresponding 1 – 9 button.

s For presets 10 and higher, press the “0” button, then use the number buttons to enter the preset number.

In addition to playing the Aux source through the system, pressing the Aux button places the remote in the Aux-control mode. If you programmed the remote to control auxiliary components (either by entering in a code number or teaching commands to the remote), the remote will now operate according to that programming.

Lip Sync Delay: When playing an Aux source, audio and video processing circuitry may create a slight delay between the picture and sound. Pressing the Options button lets you adjust the audio delay to eliminate “lip sync” errors that may occur between the sound and picture in video programs with sound playing through one of the receiver’s rear-panel audio inputs. Use the Cursor Up/Down buttons to increase or decrease the audio delay until the perceived lip-sync errors disappear and the sound and picture are properly synchronized.

Playing Files from USB Devices and CD Data Discs

Your BDS receiver can play MP3 (up to 320kbps bitrate) audio files, display JPEG photos and show MPEG 1 (layer 1), MPEG 2 (layers 2 and 3), and DivX home theater profile audio/video files stored on a USB device or a CD data disc.

IMPORTANT: Only media in the FAT32 file system are compatible with your BDS receiver.

To access files on a device inserted into the receiver’s USB port, press the Home button and select USB from the source list on the screen.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

If your BDS system isn’t performing the way you think it should, check to see if the problem is covered in this section before calling your dealer or contacting a harman kardon representative.

Problem Solution

The receiver won’t power up (the Power indicator is not lit):

Sound plays through the BDS system speakers, but there is no TV picture:

There is no sound coming from just the subwoofer:

There is a constant hum in the sound:

The disc does not play:

There is noise or other interference in the picture while playing a Blu-ray Disc recording or DVD:

The sound and picture are out of sync when listening to an Aux source: s Check that the receiver’s Power cord is properly plugged into the receiver’s AC

Power Input connector.

s Check that the Power cord is plugged into a working AC outlet. If the outlet is controlled by a switch, make sure the switch is set in the “On” position.

s Check that the receiver’s Main Power switch (located on the rear panel) is in the

“On” position. s Check the HDMI connection between the receiver and the TV.

s Check that the TV is turned on and is set to the proper input source.

s Unplug the HDMI cable from the TV and plug it back in again.

s Check that the subwoofer’s Power cord is plugged into a working AC outlet.

s Check that the subwoofer’s Power switch is in the “On” position.

s Check that the Subwoofer Level control is not turned all the way down (fully counterclockwise).

s Check that the audio connection between the receiver and the subwoofer has been properly made.

s Check the receiver’s Settings: Configuration menu to make sure that the subwoofer volume has not been set at –10dB.

s Check that all input cables are plugged all the way into their connectors.

s Check that all cables are at least 10 ft (3.3m) from fluorescent lights.

s Check that all cable connectors are clean. If necessary, wipe them with a cloth slightly moistened with alcohol.

s Set the subwoofer’s Power switch to “Off.” If the hum goes away, there is a ground loop between the subwoofer and the receiver. Plugging the subwoofer’s Power cord into the same AC outlet that the receiver is plugged into should eliminate the ground loop.

s Check that the disc is inserted correctly (label side up).

s Check that the disc is the correct type: BD-Video (single-layer or double-layer),

DVD-Video, DVD+R/+RW, DVD-R/-RW, CDDA (CD digital audio), CD-R/RW. Other disc types will not play.

s Check that the disc surface is clean and not scratched.

s Check that the disc surface is clean and not scratched.

Cannot tune in radio stations:

The receiver does not respond to remote-control commands:

The remote does not control programmed components (TV or video):

The Ø symbol appears on the screen when you press a remote-control button:

The receiver does not respond to commands, or it behaves in an erratic way: s Press the Options button and perform the Lip Sync adjustment to bring the sound and picture into synchronization.

s Check that the FM antenna is correctly connected.

s Adjust the antenna’s position. If necessary, use a powered FM antenna or an outdoor FM antenna.

s Replace all three remote-control batteries with fresh ones, and make sure that they are installed with the correct polarity.

s Hold the remote closer to the receiver.

s Check that the receiver’s remote sensor is in the line of sight of the remote control.

s Check that you have pressed the remote’s Aux button before trying to operate the component.

s Re-program and/or re-teach the component’s commands into the remote.

s The selected function is not permitted at the time the button is pressed.

s Unplug the receiver’s Power cord from the AC outlet, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in.
