Cleaning, Moving the Receiver and Introduction

BDS

Due to the heat generated by the receiver and other components in your system, there is

the remote possibility that the rubber padding on the bottom of the unit’s feet may leave

marks on certain wood or wood-veneer materials. Use caution when placing the unit

on soft woods or other materials that heat or heavy objects may damage. Some surface

finishes may be particularly sensitive to absorbing such marks, due to a variety of factors

beyond harman kardon control, including the nature of the finish, cleaning materials

used, normal heat and vibration caused by the use of the product, or other factors. Your

warranty will not cover this type of damage to furniture, so exercise caution in choosing

an installation location for the component and in performing normal maintenance

practices.

Introduction

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

Note: You’ll need the product’s serial number. At the same time, you can choose to be

notified about our new products and/or special promotions.

Thank You for Choosing Harman Kardon® Products!

In the years since harman kardon engineers invented the high-fidelity receiver, we have

taken to heart this philosophy: Bringing the joy of home entertainment to as many people

as possible, adding performance and ease-of-use features that enhance the experience. The

BDS series of home entertainment systems offers a complete home entertainment solution

with a wealth of listening and viewing options in one sleek receiver. Each BDS series system

also includes a 5.1-channel, 2.1-channel or soundbar loudspeaker system, a system remote

control and all the cables and accessories you need to enjoy movies and music in your own

home, when you use them with your television or video display.

Your new harman kardon Blu-ray Disc™ player requires a broadband Internet connection

for BD-Live™ interactivity.

Cleaning

receiver

When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, and only after

unplugging the AC power cord, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water,

then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe it dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use

benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use

abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide

near the unit.

To get the maximum enjoyment from your new BDS system, we urge you to read this manual

thoroughly and refer back to it as you become more familiar with your new system’s features

and their operation.

If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation, please contact

your retailer or custom installer, or visit the Harman Kardon Web site at

www.harmankardon.com.

Speakers and Subwoofer

When needed, use a soft cloth to remove any fingerprints or dust from the enclosures or

grilles. NOTE: Do not use any cleaning products or polishes on the enclosures or grilles.

Verify Line Voltage Before Using

Your BDS receiver has been designed for use with 110 – 240-volt, 50Hz/60Hz AC current. Your

subwoofer has been designed for use with either 120-volt, 60Hz or 220 – 240-volt, 50/60Hz

AC current, depending on where your system was sold. The receiver includes a detachable IEC

power cable designed for use in the region where the system is sold.

Moving the Receiver

Before moving the receiver, disconnect any interconnection cords to other components, and

disconnect the unit from its AC outlet.

Connection to a line voltage other than that for which the units are intended can create

a safety and fire hazard and may damage the units. If you have any questions about the

voltage requirements for your specific model or about the line voltage in your area, contact

your dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.

NOTE: The built-in Blu-ray Disc/DVD player in your BDS receiver is designed and

manufactured for compatibility with region management information that is encoded on

most Blu-ray Disc recordings and DVD recordings:

Unpacking

BDS receivers sold in the USA are designed only for playback of discs with Blu-

Ray Disc Region Code A and DVD Region Code 1 information, or for discs that do not

contain any region code information.

The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new receiver during shipment were

specially designed to cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest that you save the

carton and packing materials for use in shipping if you move or if the unit ever needs repair.

To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it. You can do it by

carefully slitting the tape seams on the carton’s bottom and collapsing it. You can store

cardboard inserts in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed should be

saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.

BDS receivers sold in Europe are designed only for playback of discs with Blu-ray

Disc Region Code B and DVD Region Code 2 information, or for discs that do not

contain region code information.

If you do not wish to save the packaging materials, please note that the carton and other

sections of the shipping-protection materials are recyclable. Please respect the environment

and discard those materials at a local recycling center.

If there is a Region Code on a disc other than the one your BDS player is designed for, it

will not play in your BDS receiver.

Remove the protective plastic film from the front-panel lens. Leaving the film in place will

affect the performance of your remote control.

Installation Location

To ensure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit

on a firm and level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and

any mounting hardware can support the weight of the product.

Provide proper space both above and below the unit for ventilation. If this product will

be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient air

movement within the area. Under some circumstances, a fan may be required.

Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.

Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, or in an area that is exposed to direct

sunlight or heating equipment.

Avoid moist or humid locations.

Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top and sides of the unit or place objects

directly over or next to them.

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

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

connections.

Optical Digital Inputs: Connect the optical digital output of an audio-only source

component here. The signal may be a Dolby® Digital bitstream, a DTS® bitstream or a

standard PCM digital-audio bitstream.

AC Power Connector: After you have made and verified all other connections, plug the

supplied AC power cord into this input and into an unswitched AC outlet.

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

Main Power Switch: This mechanical switch turns the BDS receiver’s power supply on or

off. After you have made and verified all connections (see the Connections section, on page

14), set this switch in the On position. During normal use you will usually leave this switch set

to On; it cannot be turned on or off using the remote control. To conserve energy when you’re

not going to be using the receiver for an extended period of time, set this switch to Off.

Coaxial Digital Input: Connect the coaxial digital output of an audio-only source

component here. The signal may be a Dolby Digital bitstream, a DTS bitstream or a standard

PCM digital-audio bitstream.

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

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

HDMI input. Since the HDMI cable transmits both video and audio to the TV, we recommend

that you set the receiver’s HDMI audio output to Off in the receiver’s Audio menu to take full

advantage of your BDS system’s superior audio performance. See Audio Settings, on page 21,

for more information.

Speaker Connectors: Use the speaker wires supplied with the speakers to connect the

satellite and center speakers to the proper terminals.

The BDS 5 receiver (shown) has connections for five speakers: front left, front right,

surround left, surround right and center.

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

right.

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

Your TV must also be HDCP-compliant to be used with the BDS receiver’s HDMI output. For

best results, we do not recommend HDMI connections in excess of ten feet (about 3 meters)

without a repeater. If your TV has a DVI input, you may use an optional HDMI-to-DVI cable or

adapter for the video connection to the TV. (The DVI connection is video-only.)

See Connections, on page 14, for more information.

Subwoofer Output: Use the supplied mono RCA audio cable (with the purple connectors)

to connect this jack to the subwoofer’s Line-Level In LFE jack. See Connecting the Subwoofer,

on page 16, for more details about making connections.

Analog Audio Inputs 1 and 2: Use these inputs to connect to an audio-only source

component (such as a tape deck). Do not connect a turntable to these jacks without a phono

preamp.

BD-Live Connector: To be able to use the BD-Live feature, connect this port to your local

area network (LAN) using a Cat. 5/Cat. 5e/RJ-45 network cable. See BD-Live Interactivity, on

page 26, for details.

The Bridge IIIP Connector: Connect The Bridge IIIP iPod/iPhone dock (available

separately) to this terminal.

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

Power Cord

PL0004-01001

Phase Switch: This switch determines whether the subwoofer driver’s piston-like action

moves in and out in phase with the satellite speakers. If the subwoofer were to play out of

phase with the satellite speakers, the sound waves produced by the subwoofer could be

cancelled out, reducing bass performance and sonic impact. This phenomenon depends in

part on the relative placement of all the speakers in the room.

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

BDS receiver. If you connect the subwoofer to a different component that has a voltage

trigger output connection, connect the External Trigger Input to the trigger output of the

other compatible component. Whenever the subwoofer detects a trigger signal between 3V

and 30V (AC or DC), the subwoofer’s amplifier will turn on. The subwoofer’s amplifier will

turn off after the trigger signal ceases, even when the Power-On Mode switch is in the “Auto”

position.

Although in most cases the Phase switch should be left in the “Normal” position, there is no

absolutely correct setting for it. When the subwoofer is properly in phase with the satellite

speakers, the sound will be clearer and have maximum impact. It will make percussive

sounds like drums, piano and plucked strings sound more lifelike. The best way to set the

Phase switch is to listen to music that you are familiar with and set the switch in the position

that gives drums and other percussive sounds maximum impact.

Line-Level In LFE Connector: Use the supplied mono RCA audio cable (with the purple

connectors) to connect the Line-Level In LFE connector to the BDS receiver’s Subwoofer

output.

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

BDS receiver. If you connect the subwoofer to a different unit that does not have a dedicated,

low-pass-filtered subwoofer output, use these connectors.

Bass-Boost Switch: Set this switch to “On” to enhance the subwoofer’s low-frequency

performance. Set this switch to “Off” for normal low-frequency performance.

Power-On Mode Switch: When this switch is set in the “Auto” position and when the

Power switch is set to “On,” the subwoofer will automatically turn itself on when it receives

an audio signal. It will enter the Standby mode if it receives no audio signal for 20 minutes.

When the Power-On Mode switch is set in the “On” position, the subwoofer will remain on

whether or not it is receiving an audio signal.

If the unit has a separate subwoofer output, use the supplied mono RCA audio cable to

connect the unit’s subwoofer output to either one of the subwoofer’s Line-Level In L/R

connectors.

If your unit does not have a separate subwoofer output, use two Y-adapters (not

supplied). Connect one adapter’s single end to the unit’s preamp output for that

channel. Connect one of this adapter’s dual ends to the main amp input for that channel,

and connect the adapter’s other dual end to one of the subwoofer’s Line-Level In L/R

connectors. Repeat this process with the other Y-adapter, preamp channel, main amp

input and subwoofer’s Line-Level In L/R connector.

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

mode:

When the LED glows white, the subwoofer is turned on.

When the LED is not lit up, the subwoofer is in Standby mode.

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

subwoofer will then either be on or in Standby mode, depending on the setting of the

subwoofer’s Power-On Mode switch.

When the Main Power Switch is set to Off, the LED will not light up, no matter what setting

the Power-On Mode switch is in.

Subwoofer Level Control: Use this control to adjust the subwoofer’s volume. Turn

clockwise to increase the volume; turn counterclockwise to decrease the volume.

Power Cord: After you have made and verified all subwoofer and speaker connections

described in this manual, plug the Power cord into an active, unswitched electrical outlet for

proper operation of the subwoofer. DO NOT plug this cord into the accessory outlets found in

some audio components.

Since our ears do not hear directional sound at the low frequencies where the subwoofer

operates, it will perform well from just about any location in your room. However, the best

bass reproduction is likely to be heard if you place the subwoofer in a corner along the same

wall as the front left and right speakers.

Place the front speakers the same distance from each other as they are from the listening

position. Place them at about the same height from the floor as the listener’s ears will be. You

can also angle them toward the listener.

You can experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily placing the subwoofer in

the listening position and playing music with strong bass content. Move around to various

locations in the room while the system is playing, and listen until you find the location where

the bass performance is best. Place the subwoofer in that location.

400 and BDS 300 Systems), on page 10.

Placing the Speakers (BDS 600 System)

Placing the Front Left and Front Right Speakers

If your TV is placed on a table, you can place the soundbar on the table directly in front of the

TV, centered with the TV screen. Attach the supplied rubber feet to the soundbar as shown in

the illustration.

Mounting Options for Satellite and Center Speakers

Shelf Placement

You can place the satellite and center speakers on shelves. BDS 800 and BDS 400 satellite

speakers have built-in bases for shelf placement. If you want, you can remove a base by

pulling it straight off its speaker. Apply even pressure to both sides of the base and smoothly

slide it off the speaker.

If your TV is located in an entertainment or media center, you can mount the soundbar in a

space directly above or below the TV.

WARNING: Do NOT place the soundbar directly on top of a TV or at the front

edge of a table or cabinet. It could roll forward and injure someone.

Wall-Mounting the Soundbar

If your TV is attached to a wall, you can use the included wall-mount brackets to mount the

soundbar on the wall directly below the TV screen.

1. Determine the location for the soundbar on the wall. Make sure that the top of the

soundbar will not block your view of the TV screen when it is mounted on the wall.

2. Mark the locations of the soundbar wall-mount bracket holes on the wall. The holes for

the left and right brackets are spaced 600mm apart. The top and bottom holes for each

bracket are spaced 25mm apart. See the illustration below.

Wall-Mounting the BDS 800 and BDS 400 Satellite Speakers

IMPORTANT: Read the Connections section, on page 14, before wall-mounting the satellite

speakers. You will need to insert the speaker wires through the wall-mount brackets and

connect the wires to the speakers during the process of installing the brackets.

NOTE: If you are using your own speaker wire, it must be no thicker than the wire supplied

with the speakers. Thicker wire will prevent the wall-mount bracket from sliding onto the

speaker.

NOTE: To insure that the soundbar will be level, use a carpenter’s level, a laser sight or another

device to insure that the two sets of holes are at exactly the same height.

3. Attach the two wall-mount brackets to the wall at the locations you marked, using

hardware that is appropriate for the wall’s construction and materials. Note that the

soundbar weighs 8.1 lb (3.67kg). Be sure to use hardware that can support this weight.

1. Decide on the location for the speaker (see Placing the Speakers (BDS 800, BDS 700, BDS

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

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

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

4. After making all of the connections described in the Connections section, on page 14,

attach the soundbar to the brackets by sliding the slots in its rubber bumpers onto the

brackets’ vertical tabs.

speaker properly and safely.

Speakers and receivers/amplifiers have corresponding (+) and (–) connection terminals. Your

system’s satellite speakers use red to denote the (+) terminal and black for the (–) terminal.

The BDS 2 receiver uses white to denote the left channel (+) terminal and red for the

right channel (+) terminal. Black is used to denote the (–) terminal of both channels.

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

channels:

Front Left (+): White

Front Right (+): Red

Center (+): Green

Surround Left (+): Blue

Surround Right (+): Gray

2. Bring the speaker cable through the wall-bracket attachment plate as shown, and mount

the attachment plate on the wall in the desired location.

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

Bring Cable Through Opening

The speaker wires included with your system have colored bands at both ends of the (+)

conductor; the colors correspond to the receiver’s (+) terminal colors. This system helps you

connect each speaker to the correct receiver or amplifier terminals. In addition to the colored

bands at each end, each speaker wire’s (+) terminal has ribs molded into its insulation to

help identify it.

Be sure to connect each speaker identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the receiver or

amplifier, and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the receiver or amplifier. Miswiring one or more

speakers results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.

Use Mounting Hardware Appropriate for

that product type.

Preparing the Remote Control

Installing the Batteries

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

and turn red again. Then release the button.

Your BDS system remote control uses 3 AAA batteries (supplied). Insert the batteries as

shown in the illustration, making sure to observe the correct polarity.

b) For a conventional US TV, enter ”0999”; for a conventional EU TV, enter “1999”; for

an HDTV, enter “2999”; for a US cable box, enter “3999”; for an EU cable box, enter

“4999”; for a US satellite tuner, enter “5999”; for an EU satellite tuner, enter “6999.”

c) Aim the remote control toward the component and press the remote’s Cursor Up

button. Each press of the button sends the “Power” signal for one setup code number.

Holding down the Cursor Up button quickly scans through all of the setup code

numbers.

d) Release the Cursor Up button as soon as the component turns off. If you pass the

correct setup code number, you can return to it by pressing the Cursor Down button,

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

–

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

they do, press the Aux source selector button again to save the code. The button will

flash three times, and the remote will exit the programming mode.

f) If the remote does not operate as expected, repeat Steps c – e. Note that some

components may not respond to all of the above commands and may support only

some of the commands listed.

Programming the Remote

–

In addition to controlling the BDS receiver, you can program the remote to control one

auxiliary (Aux) component. The remote is also capable of learning codes directly from other

remotes. This ability allows you to combine learned commands with programmed codes,

making the remote capable of controlling more than one Aux component. Typical Aux

components would be your TV, a satellite receiver or a cable receiver.

MUTE

The remote will control the Aux component(s) only when the Aux source button has been

pressed. Pressing any other source button will put the remote back into the BDS receiver

control mode.

1. Place the BDS remote and the remote from which you want it to learn codes head-to-

head about 1 inch (2.5cm) apart, with their IR transmitter windows facing each other.

To program the remote to control an Aux component:

2. Press and hold the Settings button on the BDS receiver remote for more than three

seconds. The remote’s Aux button will light up.

Audio Output: This option lets you set the following items:

HDMI Audio Out: In addition to digital video signals, the BDS receiver’s HDMI

connection also carries digital audio signals. Four settings are available:

Auto: This option causes the receiver’s HDMI output to output the digital-audio format

that best matches the surround-sound decoding capabilities of the component it’s

connected to.

Resolution: This option lets you select your TV’s highest resolution. “Auto” automatically

selects the best resolution for your TV.

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

HDMI output.

Film Mode: If your TV can handle a 1080p 24Hz signal (if it is 1080p resolution and has

a video-refresh rate that is a whole-number multiple of 24), set Film Mode to “On” to get

maximum resolution from Blu-ray Disc content mastered at 24 frames per second. If your

display cannot handle a 1080p/24Hz signal, set this option to “Off,” and the BDS receiver

will upconvert 24-frame-per-second film material to the standard video 30Hz refresh

rate.

PCM: This option outputs a two-channel downmix derived from the program’s native

audio format via the HDMI output.

Off: This option turns the receiver’s HDMI audio output off. We recommend setting this

option to “Off,” so you can take full advantage of the superior audio capability of your

BDS system’s receiver and speakers.

HDMI Deep Color: This option allows you to adjust the resolution of color output to

your TV. If your TV accepts Deep Color, this option allows your TV to display an enhanced

color palette.

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

closer to the same volume (a process known as compression). Compression lets you turn up

the volume so you can hear the quiet parts without the loud parts disturbing others. NOTE:

This feature works only with Dolby Digital programs that have been specially encoded. Three

settings are available:

On: The BDS receiver outputs 36-bit Deep Color if your TV supports it. If your TV does

not, the receiver will output 30-bit color.

Off: The BDS receiver does not output Deep Color (color resolution remains at 24 bits).

Off: Never applies compression. Use this setting when the volume may be as loud as you

desire.

Video Processing: This option allows you to set the BDS receiver’s internal video

processing.

On: Always applies compression. Use this setting when you want the volume to be as

quiet as possible without making it difficult to hear spoken dialogue.

Video Mode: This setting lets you select a preset video-processing option to optimize the

picture for the current program by adjusting the brightness, contrast, color and sharpness:

Auto: Applies compression based on information encoded in the Dolby Digital bitstream.

The receiver will selectively apply compression only during the most dynamic parts of the

soundtrack.

Standard: Neutral control settings

Vivid: For video games

Cinema: For movies and many television broadcasts

Custom: This option lets you adjust the picture settings manually. The Brightness,

Saturation (color saturation), Hue, Contrast, Sharpness and CTI settings appear as sliders.

The default setting for each adjustment is 0. Use the Cursor Left/Right buttons to change

each setting’s value.

Notes on Setting Speaker Volumes in 5.1-Channel Systems:

While setting your system’s individual speaker volume levels is ultimately up to your personal

taste, here are some ideas you may find helpful:

Audio Settings

For films and video-music programs, your overall goal should be to create an enveloping,

realistic sound field that draws you into the film or music program without drawing your

attention away from the action on the screen.

Tone Controls

Center

Audio Out to TV

Speaker Settings

For multichannel music recordings, some music producers will create a sound field that

places the musicians all around you; others will create a sound field that places the

musicians in front of you, with more subtle ambience in the surround speakers (as you

would experience in a concert hall).

SUB

L (0.0 dB, 3 ft)

R (0.0 dB, 3 ft)

In most 5.1-channel films, the surround channels are not intended to be as loud or as

active as the front channels. Adjusting the surround speakers so they are always as loud

as the front channels could make dialogue difficult to understand and will make some

sound effects sound unrealistically loud.

Using the Receiver and Using the Disc Player

Notes on Setting Subwoofer Volume:

Listening Through Headphones

Sometimes the ideal subwoofer volume setting for music is too loud for films, while the

ideal setting for films is too quiet for music. When setting the subwoofer volume, listen

to both music and films with strong bass content and find a “middle ground” volume

level that works for both.

Your BDS receiver’s headphone connection accepts a standard 3.5mm stereo headphone plug.

When you insert the headphone plug into the connector, the receiver’s speaker outputs will

mute; the HDMI audio output will not mute.

When headphones are connected to the receiver’s Headphone connector, pressing the

remote’s Surround button cycles between these two modes:

If your subwoofer always seems too loud or too quiet, you may want to place it in a

different location. Placing the subwoofer in a corner will always tend to increase its bass

output, while placing it away from any walls or corners will always tend to lessen its bass

output.

HARMAN Headphone, which virtualizes a multichannel surround soundtrack down to

two channels. This mode retains the soundtrack’s original directional cues, allowing

you to enjoy an enveloping surround-sound experience on any ordinary pair of stereo

headphones.

IMPORTANT: Do not turn the receiver’s volume up to or past the point where the

audio from the speakers becomes distorted. Doing so can damage the speakers.

Headphone Bypass, which downmixes surround-sound programs into normal stereo.

This mode does not retain any multichannel directional cues that may be in the original

surround-sound program.

create a slight delay between the picture and sound. Pressing the Options button lets you

adjust the audio delay to eliminate “lip sync” errors that may occur between the sound and

picture in video programs with sound playing through one of the receiver’s rear-panel audio

inputs. Use the Cursor Up/Down buttons to increase or decrease the audio delay until the

perceived lip-sync errors disappear and the sound and picture are properly synchronized.

Troubleshooting

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

Problem

Solution

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

Check that the receiver’s Power cord is properly plugged into the receiver’s AC Power Input

connector.

Check that the Power cord is plugged into a working AC outlet. If the outlet is controlled

by a switch, make sure the switch is set in the “On” position.

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

position.

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

There is no sound coming from just the subwoofer:

Check the HDMI connection between the receiver and the TV.

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

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

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

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

Check that the Subwoofer Level control is not turned all the way down (fully

counterclockwise).

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

made.

Check the receiver’s Settings: Configuration menu to make sure that the subwoofer volume

has not been set at –10dB.

There is a constant hum in the sound:

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

Check that all cables are at least 10 ft (3,5m) from fluorescent lights.

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

moistened with alcohol.

Set the subwoofer’s Power switch to “Off.” If the hum goes away, there is a ground loop

between the subwoofer and the receiver. Plugging the subwoofer’s Power cord into the

same AC outlet that the receiver is plugged into should eliminate the ground loop.

The disc does not play:

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

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

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

Check that the disc surface is clean and not scratched.

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

DVD:

The sound and picture are out of sync when listening to an Aux source:

Press the Options button and perform the Lip Sync adjustment to bring the sound and

picture into synchronization.

Cannot tune in radio stations:

Check that the FM antenna is correctly connected.

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

antenna.

The receiver does not respond to remote-control commands:

Replace all three remote-control batteries with fresh ones, and make sure that they are

installed with the correct polarity.

Hold the remote closer to the receiver.

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

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

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

component.

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

The selected function is not permitted at the time you press the button.

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

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

The receiver does not respond to commands, or it behaves in an erratic way:
