the finest quality digital video transmitted over  
one single cable from the Harman Kardon Digital  
Lounge receiver/DVD-Audio player to the  
Harman Kardon Digital Lounge display. The one-  
way HDMI connection will allow you to watch  
your blockbuster movies in a high resolution up  
to 720p or 1080i. A DVI input to connect a PC is  
available too, as well as multiple HDMI inputs.  
As portable USB devices increase in popularity,  
Harman Kardon's Digital Lounge system is  
among the first integrated home theater system  
that allows mobile interconnectivity by playing  
compatible music or image files from portable  
devices via two USB On-The-Go inputs.  
Designed to provide all the excitement and detail  
of movie soundtracks, every nuance of musical  
selections and crystal clear video playback, the  
Digital Lounge system is truly a complete  
A wide range of programming features makes it  
easy to program an evening’s worth of entertain-  
ment. When playing DVDs, easy-to-understand  
on-screen menus and icons make it simple to  
change languages, soundtracks, subtitles or  
aspect ratio, while a parental-lock function  
enables you to control which discs may be  
viewed by younger members of the household.  
audio/video system for the new millennium.  
The Digital Lounge system has been engineered  
so that it is easy to take advantage of all the  
power of its digital technology. To obtain the  
maximum enjoyment from your new system, we  
urge you to read this manual. A few minutes  
spent learning the functions of the various con-  
trols will enable you to take advantage of all the  
power the Digital Lounge system is able to deliv-  
er.  
The 40" and 46" displays are both Full HD  
displays, fully compliant with future HD signals,  
ready to bring the latest technology for clearer  
and sharper pictures into your home. The 32"  
version is HD Ready.  
For total user convenience, Harman Kardon  
Digital Lounge offers a system remote control,  
ready to operate the screen, the DVD player and  
the receiver. Besides the standard full function  
remote control used for initial setup and system  
calibration, Harman Kardon offers a second and  
smaller remote control. By limiting the buttons  
on this remote control to those that will be used  
during every day use, system control becomes  
extremely easy and pleasant.

are able to listen to audio files stored on your  
compatible Apple® iPod®**. The Bridgewill  
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.

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.  
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.

To change a setting, simply move the cursor to  
the setting you wish to change. This setting will

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

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

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

which should accommodate most listening room  
situations. If required, you may use an optional

Using EzSet/EQ  
MAXIMUMapplies more compression so that  
louder passages are much softer.  
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-  
er is connected to a particular output, they can-  
not determine whether the speaker is in the cor-  
rect position. (For example, it can tell whether a  
speaker is connected to the Surround Right out-  
put, but it cannot tell whether the speaker is on  
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  
process stops you will see a message indicating  
the Far Field measurements are complete, but

IMPORTANT NOTE: Anyone with hearing that is  
sensitive to loud noises should leave the room at

Step 8. When the Far Field measurements are  
completed, the system will ask you to take Near  
Field measurements, one at each five speaker  
position. These measurements enable EzSet/EQ  
to produce the most accurate settings for both  
high and low frequency equalization. The Near  
Field measurements are similar to the Far Field  
tests, except that the system will “listen” to only  
one speaker at a time, rather than sending the  
test signals to all speakers in rotation.  
Step 11. If the test results were successful, the  
next Near Field Measurement screen will appear.  
In order to properly calibrate the system, you will

nel speakers. Repeat Steps 8 through 11 until all  
speakers have been calibrated. When that is

Delay  
Video Settings  
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 disc being played was originally recorded on

you may wish to compensate for errors in 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.

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.

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:  
the TV channel using the numeric keys  
S
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.  
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.  
To activate the function, press the Picture in  
Picture (PIP) Button  
b
on the remote con-  
trol. 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  
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

Teletext  
Learning codes from a remote  
Teletext, also known as Videotext, is an informa-  
tion 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.  
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

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.

• Adjust center speaker volume (see pages 34).  
• The protective circuitry has been activated  
because of a short circuit. Turn off the system,  
eliminate the short circuit problem and turn on  
the power again.  
• One of the safety mechanisms may be operat-  
ing. In this event, unplug the player from the  
power outlet briefly and then plug it in again.

• 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).

Title  
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.  
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.

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.

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.
