are able to listen to audio files stored on your
compatible Apple® iPod®**. The Bridge™ will
even let you charge your iPod.
An important addition to the Digital Lounge's
impressive list of features is EzSet/EQ™, which
automates the configuration process to make it
quicker, easier and more precise. Using the spe-
cial microphone supplied with the unit, EzSet/EQ
takes the guesswork out of entering speaker
“size” and crossover information, delay times for
all channels and output levels. In addition to the
configuration settings, EzSet/EQ also includes
room equalization so that the signals sent to
each speaker are tailored to provide accurate
sonic quality with your specific combination of
speaker type, room size and other factors that
influence room acoustics. With EzSet/EQ, your
system is custom-configured in a few minutes
with accuracy that previously required expensive
and hard-to-use test equipment.

Safety Information
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 col-
lapsing 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.
Installation Location
n 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.
n 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.
n 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.
If you do not wish to save the packaging materi-
als, please note that the carton and other sec-
tions of the shipping protection are recyclable.
Please respect the environment and discard
those materials at a local recycling center.
n 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.
n 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.
Copyright
Cleaning
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.
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.
n Do not place the system components directly
on a carpeted surface.
n Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold
locations, or an area that is exposed to direct
sunlight or heating equipment.
Copy protection
This DVD player supports Macrovision copy pro-
tection. On DVD discs that include a copy protec-
tion code, if the contents of the DVD disc are
copied using a VCR, the copy protection code pre-
vents the videotape copy from playing normally.
n Avoid moist or humid locations.
n Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the
top of the system components, or place
objects directly over them.
Moving the Unit
Before moving the system components, be cer-
tain to disconnect any interconnection cords with
other components, and make certain that you
disconnect the components from the AC outlet.
n The display surface of the screen is sensitive to
pressure and scratching. Treat the display sur-
face with care in order to avoid lasting damage.
For Optimum Performance
The controller is a precision device that is con-
structed 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 peri-
od varies depending on the environment (temper-
ature, humidity, dust) in which the player is used.
Do not attempt to clean the pickup lens
yourself.
n 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.
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.
n The screen will set itself automatically to a
mains voltage in the range of 100 V to 240 V.
Ensure that the local mains voltage does not
exceed and is not less than this range.
The carton and shipping materials used to pro-
tect your new DVD player/receiver, TV and loud-
speakers 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.
n The screen may be connected to an earthed
mains outlet only.
n The On-Off switch does not disconnect the set
from the mains voltage. For complete discon-
nection from the mains voltage you must pull
out the mains plug.

Terminology
USB On-The-Go: Due to its widespread accept-
ance, USB is becoming the de facto industry stan-
dard for connecting peripherals to PCs and lap-
tops. Many of the new peripherals using USB are
also portable devices.
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 multi-
ple-angle information, pressing the Angle button
will enable you to switch between these different
views. Note that at present, few discs take advan-
tage of this capability and, when they do, the mul-
tiple-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 multi-
ple viewing angles.
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.
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 avail-
able, for instance in consumer electronics prod-
ucts. 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.
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.
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.
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.
Full HD and HD Ready
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.
High Definition (HD) is the future broadcast stan-
dard, 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.
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 progres-
sive scan video output resulting in a 40% greater
light output than a conventional TV and a stun-
ningly detailed, high definition image with absence
of visible scanlines and motion artifacts.
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 com-
mand data, allowing customers to obtain pure
digital high-definition video.
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.
Digital Visual Interface™ (DVI) Input
The DVI input provides a high speed, digital con-
nection for visual data types. The interface is pri-
mary focused at providing a connection between
a computer and the display.
In resume mode, the cover of the DVD will be
displayed, if available. Otherwise, the
Harman Kardon screen will appear.
DivX
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 resolu-
tion, digital tuners.
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
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP)
HDCP is a specification developed to protect digi-
tal 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 Cinema Lounge DVD-
Audio/Video player to the DVI/HDMI-inputs on the
Harman Kardon Digital Lounge display.
DVB-T
DVB-T stands for Digital Video Broadcasting -
Terrestrial and it is the European consortium stan-
dard for the broadcast transmission of Digital ter-
restrial television.

Features
n 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 com-
patibility 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.

Basic Information
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.
About This Manual
Regional Coding
• 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.
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.
Cleaning the Screen
Before you start any cleaning, turn off the unit and
disconnect the mains plug from the plug outlet.
The region code of this player is indicated on the
rear and on the external packaging.
• 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.
Cleaning the screen
The Harman Kardon Digital Lounge screens come
with a special cleening 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!
Important basic principles for use
• 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.
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.
Disc handling precautions
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its
edge. Do not touch the surface.
Cleaning the housing
The cleaning kit can also be used to clean the
housing of the screen.
We request your understanding for the fact that
such defects, provided that they are within the
limits specified by the standard, cannot be con-
sidered to be as an appliance defect in the terms
of the warranty.
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.
• 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.
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
• 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.
• use your display in full screen format (16:9)
• activate the screen saver
• display moving images as far as possible
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
• always switch off the display when it is not
being used
• Do not write on the label side with a ball-point
pen or other writing utensils.
• reduce the contrast and brightness as much as
possible.
• Be careful not to drop or bend the disc.
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.
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.
Sheath-type current filters are offered in the form
of a small adaptor plug in the retail trade.
Disc installing precautions
• Do not install more than 1 disc on disc tray.
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.
• 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.
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 back-
grounds.

Speaker Placement
A) Front Channel Speaker Installation
with table stand
The placement of speakers in a multichannel
home-theater system can have a noticeable
impact on the quality of sound reproduced.
If you use the screen with the supplied table
stand, place the center loudspeaker in the desig-
nated place between the two feet of the stand.
Install the speaker from behind, and push it
gently forward until it can not go any further.
If you do not wish to use the supplied table
stand, place the center speaker either directly
above or below your TV. A wall bracket is supplied
for the Center Speaker for this purpose. Once the
center-channel speaker is installed, position the
left-front and right-front speakers so that they are
as far away from one another as the center-chan-
nel speaker is from the preferred listening position.
Ideally, the front-channel speakers should be
placed so that their tweeters are no more than
60cm above or below the tweeter in the center-
channel speaker. Depending on the specifics of
your room acoustics, you may find that imaging is
improved by moving the front-left and front-right
speakers slightly forward of the center-channel
speaker. If possible, adjust all front loudspeakers so
that they are aimed at ear height when you are
seated in the listening position.

B) The distance between the left and right
speakers should be equal to the distance from
the seating position to the viewing screen.
You may also experiment with placing the left
and right speakers slightly forward of the center
speaker. Rear speaker mounting is an alternate
location for 5.1 systems.
Using these guidelines, you’ll find that it takes
some experimentation to find the correct location
for the front speakers in your particular installa-
tion. Don’t be afraid to move things around until
the system sounds correct. Optimize your speak-
ers so that audio transitions across the front of
the room sound smooth.
The preferred location for surround speakers is on
the side walls of the room, at or slightly behind
the listening position.
Rear surround speakers may also be used in 5.1
channel mode as an alternative mounting posi-
tion when it is not practical to place the main
surround speakers at the sides of the room.
Speakers may be placed on a rear wall, behind
the listening position. As with the side speakers,
the center of the rear surrounds should face you.
The speakers should be no more than 2 meters
behind the rear of the seating area.
The supplied pair of loudspeaker stands can be
used to either place the front- or rear loudspeak-
ers. Follow the instructions in the manual of the
stands for proper installation of the loudspeakers
on the stands.

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.
Notes
The first step after switching on your system is to
set the language you prefer and the country you
reside in. Once that is done, the automatic TV
channel search will start.
• The Power Requirement is: AC 230V, 50 Hz.
• Connecting to power other than the one listed
above may damage the system or cause abnor-
mal operation.
Setting the language
• Before connecting the AC power cord of this
system to a wall outlet, connect the speakers
and other component cables to the system.
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 50
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.
• Connect the AC power cord of the active
subwoofer.
• Connect the AC power cords of your TV and
any optional components to a wall outlet.
Once the speakers have been placed in the room
and connected, the remaining steps are to
program the system configuration memories.

System Setup
To change a setting, simply move the cursor to
the setting you wish to change. This setting will
be highlighted in a white square, and a brief
explanation will appear in the Upper Menu Line
on the bottom of your screen, together with the
available options for this setting on the Lower
Menu Line.
Surround Mode
System Defaults
One of the most important features of the
Digital Lounge system is its ability to reproduce a
full multichannel surround sound field from digi-
tal sources, analog matrix surround encoded pro-
grams and standard stereo programs.
The final step of the installation is to establish
the system’s defaults. It is helpful to take a few
minutes to familiarize yourself with these set-
tings, as they may require change before the first
use and later from time to time.
Selection of a surround mode is based on per-
sonal taste, as well as the type of program source
material being used. For example, motion pic-
tures, CD’s or TV programs bearing the logo of
one of the major surround encoding processes,
such as Dolby Surround should be played in
either the Harman proprietary Logic 7 Movie or
Dolby Pro Logic II Movie (with movies) or Logic 7
Music or Dolby Pro Logic II Music (with music)
surround mode.

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:
Step 1: EzSet/EQ requires that your listening
room have as little background noise as possible
to avoid interfering with the measurement of
tones produced by your Digital Lounge during
the setup procedure. Turn off all loud fans, air
conditioners and other equipment, and try to
avoid making any noise during the process.
Audio Adjustment
Step 2: The EzSet/EQ microphone should be
placed in either your usual listening position or, if
there is a large seating area, the center of the
room, at the listeners’ ear level. You may find it
convenient to use a camera tripod for stable
placement of the EzSet/EQ microphone at the
correct height. The microphone includes a thread-
ed insert on the bottom for tripod mounting.

• MAXIMUMapplies more compression so that

The Digital Lounge is one of the first receivers in
its class to offer automated speaker setup and
system calibration. This process greatly simplifies
the installation of your new receiver by using a
series of test signals and the power of an
advanced digital signal processing system to
eliminate the need for manual adjustment of
speaker “size”, crossover, delay and output level
settings, while adding the power of a multi-band
parametric equalizer to smooth out any
peculiarities in frequency response that may
result from the characteristics of the listening
room. With EzSet/EQ your new receiver even
alerts you to errors in speaker connections that
prevent a speaker from functioning.
Feel free to experiment with the settings at any
time.
Delay Unit: This setting sets the measuring unit
for Delay in either Feet or Meter.
If you have a digital video source or a digital
video display that causes lack of lip sync you may
use the A/V Sync adjust feature to delay the
audio signal as it is sent to all channels (as
opposed to the individual settings) so that the
picture and sound are brought back together.
Adjustments can be made in steps of 5ms, from
0ms up to 50ms.
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.
With EzSet/EQ you are able to calibrate your
system in a fraction of the time it would take to
enter the settings manually, and with results that
rival those achieved with expensive test equip-
ment and time-consuming procedures. The end
result is a system calibration profile that enables
your new receiver to deliver the best possible
sound, no matter what type of speakers you have
or what the dimensions of your listening room
are.

NOTE: While these tests detect whether a speak-

the right or left side of your listening room.) For
that reason, we strongly recommend that you try
to listen as the tone circulates, around you,
starting at the left front, right front, center, and
finishing at the left surround and right surround.
If a tone is heard from a speaker position that
does not match this order, make a note of the
incorrect speaker connections. When the test

Due to the different distances between the
listening position for the front channel speakers
and the surround speakers, the amount of time it
takes for sound to reach your ears from the front
or surround speakers is different. You may
compensate for this difference through the use of
the delay settings to adjust the timing for the
specific speaker placement and acoustic con-
ditions in your listening room or home theater.
Measure the distance from the listening position
to each of the individual loudspeakers. Once
done, select per loudspeaker the distance that is
closest to the one measured.
In most cases it is simpler, easier and more accu-
rate to let EzSet/EQ take care of entering the sys-
tem parameters for speaker “size”, speaker
crossover, channel output and individual channel
delay time. However, if you feel that your listen-
ing room or system components are best suited
to manual entry of these settings, the Digital
Lounge also allows you to enter or trim any of
these traditional system parameters. Even if you
do make the settings manually, we recommend
that you run the EzSet/EQ tests first so that a
baseline setting is established, and then make
your adjustments from there. Note that once
EzSet/EQ has been run you do not need to adjust
all system settings, only those that you want to
adjust.

The Video Setting Submenu contains the follow-
ing settings. Follow the explanations in the Upper

Output level adjustment
Output level adjustment is a key part of the
configuration process for any surround sound
product.
Video Mode: This setting affects only the video
signal on the HDMI output and the progressive
signals on Component video and it controls how
the video signals are optimized for progressive
scan display. 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. Three choices are
available reducing the impact of the digital
source perceptibly.
To view or change the current settings, press the
NOTE: Listeners are often confused about the
operation of the surround channels. While some
assume that sound should always be coming
from each speaker, most of the time there will be
little or no sound in the surround channels. This is
because they are only used when a movie
director or sound mixer specifically places sound
there to create ambiance, a special effect or to
continue action from the front of the room to the
rear. When the output levels are properly set it is
normal for surround speakers to operate only
occasionally. Artificially increasing the volume to
the rear speakers may destroy the illusion of an
enveloping sound field that duplicates the way
you hear sound in a movie theater or concert
hall.

USB MENU
The Harman Kardon Digital Lounge systems are
among the first to allow direct playback of com-
patible files from portable USB devices. Two USB
On-The-Go inputs are available, one on the right
side of the product (USB 1) and one on the rear
panel (USB 2).
In case several USB devices are connected, all
will be shown in the same USB Menu. To differ-
entiate the drives, they will be shown as 1 and 2.
USB drives can have more than one partition. If
that is the case, the different partitions will be
shown as 1a, 1b, 1c etc.
If you have a USB device that contains both
music files (MP3, WMA) and JPEG images, you
can choose to run these simultaneously, mixing
the MP3 or WMA audio with your own images.
The time interval can be chosen in the Picture
Setting.
Connect your USB thumb drive or portable hard
disk, to either of the side or rear panel USB
Inputs 3G. If you have more than two devices
that you would like to connect at the same time,
you can use a standard USB-hub with an external
power supply, to which you can connect up to 16
portable USB devices.
The USB Menu contains the following settings.
Follow the explanations in the Upper Menu Line
on the bottom of your screen to change the set-
tings.
With such devices, you can also either listen to

Dolby Pro Logic II: Dolby Pro Logic II is the
latest version of Dolby Laboratory's benchmark
surround technology that creates or decodes full
range, discrete left, center, right, right surround
and left surround channels from matrix surround
encoded programs and conventional stereo
sources. The Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode is
optimized for movie soundtracks that are record-
ed with matrix surround, by creating true rear
left and right signals. The ProLogic II Music mode
should be used with musical selections, that are
recorded with matrix surround or with normal
stereo mode, creating discrete rear left and right
signals.

Logic 7: Exclusive to Harman Kardon products,
Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the
maximum surround information from either
surround-encoded programs or conventional
stereo material.
NOTE: iTunes allows you to set certain
selections to always or never remember playback
position, or to be skipped in Shuffle mode. The
Digital Lounge’s settings cannot override these
iTunes settings.
The Logic 7 Movie mode should be used with
any source that contains Dolby Surround or simi-
lar matrix encoding. Logic 7 Movie delivers
increased center-channel intelligibility, and more
accurate placement of sounds with fades and
pans that are much smoother and more realistic
than with former decoding techniques.
While a selection is playing, the song title, artist
and album name, if available on the iPod, will

The Logic 7 Music mode should be used with

enhances the listening experience by presenting
a wider front soundstage and greater rear
ambience. Both Logic 7 modes also direct low-
frequency information to the subwoofer (if
installed and configured) to deliver maximum
bass impact.

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 29. Should you wish to tem-
porarily change the aspect ratio of a video input,

mini bar on the right top of the screen. Below is

formats:

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.
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.
Channels can also be changed with the Preset
Up and Down Buttons LJ. 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.
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 completelly. This format is needed
to display all so called "Widescreen" (also
named "16:9" or anamorphic) movies with opti-
mal size and aspect ratio that will be streched
vertically in the "Normal" mode (see below).
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.
This mode should be used for the full screen dis-
play of any non-anamorphic letterbox video
material (with a black frame around).
16:9: In this mode the picture is scaled horizon-
tally to the complete picture width, approx. 25
%in total being cut off the top and bottom of
the picture recorded with 4:3 format.
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.
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:
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 dis-
played 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.
Normal: Displays the PC picture filling the com-
plete 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.

Troubleshooting
There is no sound or volume is very low
• Check that the speakers and components are
connected correctly and securely.
The sound comes from the
center speaker only.
• Depending on the disc, sound may sometimes
come from the center speaker only. This also
applies to mono recordings (from disc or any
analog source), when Pro Logic mode is select-
ed. This is normal.
For the Controller
If you experience any of the following difficulties
while using the system, use this troubleshooting
guide to help you remedy the problem.
Should any problem persist, consult your author-
ized Harman Kardon dealer.
• Make sure that you have selected the correct
source on the system.
• Press MUTE on the remote control, if the
words MUTE ON are blinking on the front
panel display.

• Check that the antenna is connected correctly.
Adjust the antenna and connect an external
antenna if necessary.
The left and right channels are
unbalanced or reversed.
• Check that the speakers and components are
connected correctly and securely.
• Make sure the TV is turned on.
• Make sure the correct video input on the TV is
selected for viewing with this system.
• The signal strength of the stations is too weak
for automatic tuning. Use manual tuning.
Severe hum or noise is heard.
• Check that the speakers and components are
connected securely.
Noise (interference) appears in
the picture.
• Clean the disc.
• No stations have been preset.
• The tuner mode is not selected, select the
Radio mode.
• Check that the connecting cords are away from
a transformer or motor and at least 3 meters
away from fluorescent light.
• 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 con-
necting your DVD system directly to your TV’s
S-Video input, if your TV is equipped with this
input (see page 19).
The remote does not function.
• Remove any obstacles between the remote
control and the system.

on the front panel.
• Clean the disc.
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.
• Replace all the batteries in the remote control
with new ones if they are weak.
• Disconnect antenna cables from external
sources (also PC) connected to the screen or
system. If hum disappears use an antenna
transfomer between antenna and source.
• Check that the batteries are loaded correctly.
The disc does not play.
• If PC is connected to the system disconnect the
Audio and Video cables. If hum disappears use
an audio transformer between PC audio out
and system input. If hum persists unplug PC
from your system and ask your local dealer for
a proper solution (ground loop interrupt).

Value indicating the amount of video data com-
pressed 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 pic-
tures.

MPEG AUDIO
Track
Chapter
International standard coding system to com-
press 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.
Sections of a music piece on a CD. Each track is
assigned a track number enabling you to locate
the track you want.
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD
that are smaller than titles. Many titles are com-
posed of several chapters, but many others are
not. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number
enabling you to locate the chapter you want.
PCM
Pulse code modulation, an uncompressed data
formation.
DVD
Dolby Digital (“5.1”, “AC-3”)
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 capaci-
ty 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.
NTSC
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 sub-
woofer 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 separa-
tion. 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.
National TV Systems Committee: a video stan-
dard used in USA.
PAL
Phase Alternation Line: a video standard used in
many European countries.

Multi-angle function
Various angles or viewpoints of the video camera
for a scene are recorded on some DVDs.
Dolby Pro Logic II Surround
Multilingual function
Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a
picture are recorded on some DVDs.
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.
Parental Control
A function of some (particulary 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 acti-
vated, playback is completely prohibited, violent
scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes
and so on.
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 sub-
woofer 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.
