Introduction / Safety Information  
This system was designed to provide you with  
many years of reliable operation with a minimum  
of care and maintenance. Every component in  
your system was in perfect working condition  
when it left our factory. If you experience any  
problems with the set-up or operation of this sys-  
tem, please review the Troubleshooting Guide at  
the end of this manual before you contact your  
authorized Harman Kardon dealer.  
Installation Location  
Unpacking  
I To assure 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.  
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 should the unit ever need repair.  
I Make certain that proper space is provided  
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 cabinet.  
Under some circumstances a fan may be  
required.  
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you  
may wish to flatten it. This is done by carefully  
slitting the tape seams on the bottom and  
collapsing the carton. Other cardboard inserts  
may be stored in the same manner. Packing  
materials that cannot be collapsed should be  
saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.  
Important Safety Information  
Verify Line Voltage Before Use  
Your HS 150 has been designed for use with  
220-240-Volt AC current. Connection to a line  
voltage other than that for which it is intended  
can create a safety and fire hazard and may  
damage the unit.  
I Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted  
surface.  
If you do not wish to save the packaging  
materials, please note that the carton and other  
sections of the shipping protection are recyclable.  
Please respect the environment and discard  
those materials at a local recycling center.  
I Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold  
locations, or an area that is exposed to direct  
sunlight or heating equipment.  
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.  
Copyright  
I Avoid moist or humid locations.  
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.  
I Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the  
top of the unit, or place objects directly over  
them.  
Do Not Use Extension Cords  
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord  
attached to your unit. We do not recommend  
that extension cords be used with this product.  
As with all electrical devices, do not run power  
cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy  
objects on them. Damaged power cords should  
be replaced immediately by an authorized service  
depot with a cord meeting factory specifications.  
Cleaning  
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean,  
soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft  
cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a  
fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry immediate-  
ly 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.  
Copy protection  
This DVD player supports Macrovision copy  
protection. On DVD discs that include a copy  
protection code, if the contents of the DVD disc  
are copied using a VCR, the copy protection code  
prevents the videotape copy from playing  
normally.  
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently  
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC  
outlet, always pull the plug, never pull the cord.  
If you do not intend to use the unit for any  
considerable length of time, disconnect the plug  
from the AC outlet.  
For Optimum Performance  
The controller is a precision device that is  
constructed using extremely accurate technology.  
Soiling or friction affecting the pickup lens or disc  
drive can impair the image quality. In the worst  
case, neither video nor audio will be played back.  
To obtain optimum picture quality, the player  
should be checked (cleaning and replacement of  
some parts) every 1,000 hours. Note that this  
period varies depending on the environment  
(temperature, humidity, dust) in which the player  
is used.  
Moving the Unit  
Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect  
any interconnection cords with other compo-  
nents, and make certain that you disconnect the  
unit from the AC outlet.  
Do Not Open the Cabinet  
There are no user-serviceable components inside  
this product. Opening the cabinet may present a  
shock hazard, and any modification to the prod-  
uct will void your guarantee. If water or any  
metal object such as a paper clip, wire or a staple  
accidentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it  
from the AC power source immediately, and  
consult an authorized service station.  
Do not attempt to clean the pickup lens  
yourself.

Terminology  
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.  
Multiple Angle: DVDs have the capability to  
show up to four different views of the same  
scene in a program. When a disc is encoded with  
multiple-angle information, pressing the Angle  
button will enable you to switch between these  
different views. Note that at present, few discs  
take advantage of this capability and, when they  
do, the multiple-angle technology may only be  
present for short periods of time within the disc.  
Producers will usually insert some sort of icon or  
graphic in the picture to alert you to the  
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.  
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.  
availability of multiple viewing angles.  
RGB Video: This is a new form of video signal  
that eliminates many of the artifacts of tradition-  
al composite video signals by splitting the signal  
into the three fundamental colors Red, Green  
and Blue (RGB). With an RGB connection (via  
SCART), you will see greater picture resolution  
and eliminate many picture imperfections such as  
the moiré patterns often seen on checkered  
patterned cloths. However, in order to benefit  
from RGB video, you must have a video display  
with an RGB compatible SCART input.  
Reading: This is a message that you will see  
after you´ve loaded the disc and the tray has  
closed. 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.  
Aspect Ratio: This is a description of the width  
of a video image in relation to its height.  
A conventional video screen is four units wide for  
every three units of height, that’s why the ratio is  
called ”4:3”. Newer wide aspect ratio video  
displays are 16 units wide for every nine units of  
height, making them more like the screen in a  
movie theater. The program material on a DVD  
may be recorded in either format and, in  
addition, you may configure the DVD to play  
back in either format, depending on the features  
recorded on a disc.  
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.  
Progressive scan: DVD offers progressive scan  
video outputs for use with compatible high-reso-  
lution televisions and projectors. Before DVD, no  
consumer medium could store, transmit or display  
video with full resolution. To conserve bandwidth,  
analog compression (interlacing) is employed: first  
the odd-numbered lines of a frame are displayed,  
followed by the even-numbered lines. The result is  
that only half of the video image is drawn at one  
time; the viewer's brain must reassemble the  
complete image. This is acceptable, if the monitor  
is not too large and if there is not too much  
motion in the image. Large displays and fast-mov-  
ing images reveal the limitations of this system.  
Thanks to DVD's immense data capacity, images  
are now stored intact (progressively), so that all  
the lines in each frame (odd and even) are shown  
at the same time. But because most TV's cannot  
handle a progressive signal, all current DVD  
players generate an interlaced output for  
compatibility. Now, the Harman Kardon DVD is  
among the select few DVD players with true  
progressive scan video output (NTSC and PAL) for  
use with compatible TV's and CRT projectors and  
with all plasma, LCD and DLP display devices via  
the component video output. The result is 40%  
greater light output than a conventional TV and a  
stunningly detailed high definition image, along  
with an almost complete absence of visible  
scanlines and motion artifacts. Of course,  
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 and digital audio via a single cable. HDMI  
is the first and only digital interface for  
Consumer Electronics devices that can carry  
uncompressed high-definition video, compressed  
or uncompressed multi-channel audio and com-  
mand data, allowing customers to obtain pure  
digital picture and sound directly from the source  
(as it was meant to be seen and heard).  
In resume mode, the cover of the DVD will be  
displayed, if available. Otherwise, the  
Harman Kardon screen will appear.  
DivX  
USB On-The-Go: Due to its widespread  
acceptance, USB is becoming the de facto  
industry standard for connecting peripherals to  
PCs and laptops. Many of the new peripherals  
using USB are also portable devices.  
DivX is the name of a revolutionary new video  
codec which is based on the MPEG-4 compres-  
sion standard for video. This DVD player will play-  
back discs created with DivX software. The DVD  
player’s playback functionalities of DivX video  
discs will vary depending on the DivX software  
version used for creating your movies.  
For more information about the different  
software versions of DivX, please go to  
As these portable devices increase in popularity,  
there is a growing need for them to communi-  
cate directly with each other when a PC is not  
available, for instance in consumer electronics  
products. The USB On-The-Go technology  
traditional Y/Pr/Pb component video, SCART,  
S-Video and composite video outputs are  
included for use with conventional televisions and  
projectors.  
addresses this need for mobile interconnectivity.

Features  
I The HS 150 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 HS's ability to play  
back a specific disc. As a result, we cannot  
guarantee complete compatibility with all  
encoders and versions of the codecs. For best  
results, we recommend that MP3 files be  
encoded at bit rates ranging between  
32 kbps and 320 kbps. WMA files should be  
encoded at bit rates between 64kbps and  
320 kbps. Although the HS systems is capable  
of playing some WMA 9 files, not all features  
of version 9 are supported. JPEG files should  
contain no more than 5 megapixels, and the  
file size should be no larger than 5 Mb.

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

Basic Information  
Disc cleaning precautions  
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning  
cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.  
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 region-  
al 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.  
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners or anti-static  
spray intended for vinyl LPs.  
Disc installing precautions  
• Do not install more than 1 disc into the loader.  
The region code of this player is indicated on the  
rear and on the external packaging.  
• For some operations, the  
icon may appear  
• Do not place the disc up-side down.  
on the screen. This indicates that the operation  
described in this manual is not available on the  
disc in the player.  
• Hold the disc horizontally when loading, and  
do not press extensively. The disc loading  
mechanism should take the disc and slide it  
into the unit.  
• On-screen and front panel display illustrations  
in this manual are purely for the purposes of  
explanation. The actual displays may differ  
slightly from these illustrations.  
Disc handling precautions  
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its  
edge. Do not touch the surface.  
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc. If there  
is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc,  
remove the glue completely before using the  
disc.  
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or  
sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a  
car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a  
considerable rise in temperature inside the car.  
• After playing, store the disc in its case.  
• Do not write on the label side with a ball-point  
pen or other writing utensils.  
• Be careful not to drop or bend the disc.

Installation and Connections  
After unpacking the unit, and placing it on a solid  
surface capable of supporting its weight, you will  
need to make the connections to your audio and  
video equipment.  
TV Connection (method 1)  
Video Equipment Connections  
– using SCART cable (included)  
To view the video from DVD discs on your TV set,  
connect the SCART TV Out jack 3 of the HS  
system to the SCART In jack of your TV set. The  
audio connection runs through the same cable  
(see note above).  
Video equipment is connected in the same manner  
as audio components. Again, the use of high-  
quality interconnect cables is recommended to  
preserve signal quality.  
Audio Equipment Connections  
We recommend that you use high-quality inter-  
connect cables when making connections to  
source equipment and recorders to preserve the  
integrity of the signals.  
Connecting the TV and optional  
components  
NOTE: To be able to listen to the sound of a live TV  
show through the loudspeakers of your HS system  
you need a connection between the audio output  
of your TV and the HS controller: to achieve this  
when using the supplied SCART cable, you don’t  
need to connect any additional wires – the SCART  
cable transports audio and video signals in both  
directions. But when using the HDMI, Component,  
S-Video or composite jacks you need to connect the  
audio output of your TV set with the TV AUDIO IN  
K on the back of your HS controller. If your TV has  
a digital audio output, it is recommended to use  
that one over the analog audio output. Connect the  
digital output of your TV to the DIGITAL IN 89  
on the back of your HS Controller.  
When making connections to audio source  
equipment or speakers it is always a good  
practice to unplug the unit from the AC wall  
outlet. This prevents any possibility of  
accidentally sending audio or transient signals to  
the speakers that may damage them.  
AUDIO OUT  
TV SET  
TV Connection (method 2) – using S-Video  
cable (not included)  
If your TV set has an S-Video input jack you can  
connect your TV to the S-Video out jack 1 on the  
back of the HS controller. S-Video wires don’t  
transport audio signals, thus you need an  
additional audio connection (see note above).  
1. Connect the front speaker outputs  
respective speakers.  
B
to the  
Cables that are run inside walls should have the  
appropriate markings to indicate listing with any  
appropriate testing agency standards. Questions  
about running cables inside walls should be  
referred to your installer or a licensed electrician  
who is familiar with the applicable local building  
codes in your area.  
HDMI Connection  
If your TV set is equipped with an HDMI input, we  
suggest you use the HDMI connection to connect  
your HS system and your TV. It will allow you to  
watch your DVD's in the best possible picture  
quality. Most LCD, Plasma and video projectors  
have such an HDMI input nowadays. Connect the  
HDMI Output H to the HDMI Input of your video  
device.  
When connecting wires to the speakers, be cer-  
tain to observe proper polarity. Note that the  
positive (+) terminal of each speaker connection  
now carries a specific color code. However, most  
speakers will still use a red terminal for the pos-  
tive (+) connection. Connect the “negative” or  
“black” wire to the same terminal on both the  
receiver and the speaker.  
S-VIDEO IN  
DIGITAL OUT  
AUDIO OUT  
TV SET  
The HDMI wire does not transport audio signals  
from the TV to the HS, thus you need an additional  
audio connection (see note above).  
TV connection (method 3) – using  
composite video (cable not included)  
If your TV set has neither S-Video nor SCART  
We also recommend that the length of cable  
used to connect speaker pairs be identical.  
For example, use the same length piece of  
cable to connect the front-left and front-right  
speakers, even if the speakers are a different  
distance from the HS controller.

of the  
HS to the Video In jack of your TV set. The com-

Speaker Placement  
The placement of speakers in a 2.1 audio/home  
theater system can have a noticeable impact on  
the quality of sound reproduced.  
DIGITAL OUT  
Position the left-front and right-front speakers so  
that they are as far away from one another as  
from the preferred listening position.  
Subwoofers produce largely nondirectional  
sound, so they may be placed almost anywhere  
in a room. Actual placement should be based on  
room size. One method of finding the optimal  
location for a subwoofer is to begin by placing it  
in the front of the room, about 15cm from a  
wall, or near the front corner of the room.  
Another method is to temporarily place the sub-  
woofer in the spot where you will normally sit,  
and then walk around the room until you find a  
spot where the subwoofer sounds best. Place  
the subwoofer in that spot.  
Optional Audio Connections  
Aux Input for External Source  
If possible, adjust all front loudspeakers so that  
they are aimed at ear height when you are

mode, you may move slowly forward or back-  
ward through the program being played at

Playing a DivX Movie Disc  
Before playing DivX movie discs, please note the  
following:  
Surround Mode  
One of the most important features of the  
HS 150 Controller is its ability to reproduce a  
full multichannel surround sound field from digi-  
tal sources, analog matrix surround encoded  
programs and standard stereo programs by  
using only a pair of stereo loudspeakers and a  
subwoofer.  
• multi session DVD containing Windows Media  
Audio files may not be supported.  
• open session discs are not supported.  
• the DVD player does not support PC data.  
• this DVD player does not support an  
unfinalized disc with a closed session.  
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  
pictures or TV programs bearing the logo of one  
of the major surround encoding processes, such  
as Dolby Surround should be played in the Dolby  
Virtual Speaker mode. CD's and other stereo  
sources should be played in Stereo, without the  
virtual surround processing.  
2. Press PLAY  
G
to resume normal playback.  
Note that there will be no audio playback during  
slow-forward or -reverse play of DVD discs. This  
is normal for DVD, as surround processors  
cannot process the digital audio streams during  
slow modes. Slow play is not available for CD.  
1. Insert a disc into the Slot Loader  
6.  
2. Press the OSD button of the remote control  
and select a folder by pressing the up/down  
cursor buttons and press ENTER. A list of files  
in the folder appears. If you are in a file list  
and want to return to the Folder list, use the  
up/down buttons on the remote to highlight  
and press ENTER.  
Notes: Playback features may not be available  
during the opening credits of a movie. This is  
intended by the disc author and is not a failure  
of the HS Controller.  
Surround modes and audio formats are selected  
using the remote. Press the AUDIO button  
to toggle between the surround modes/audio  
formats available on the DVD disc. As you press  
the button, the Surround mode/audio format  
name will appear on your video display.  
5
3. If you want to view a particular file, press the  
up/down buttons to highlight a file and press  
PLAY.  
Playback of a DVD with 96 kHz/24-bit audio  
requires the use of circuitry normally used for  
other features. Accordingly, Slow Play Reverse  
and Step Advance features are not available  
with these discs.  
When playing back a DivX movie you can use  
variable playback functions like fast and slow  
backward and forward, as well as step forward  
and step backward.  
When a digital source is present, the HS  
Controller will automatically select and switch to  
the correct mode (Dolby Virtual Speaker),  
regardless of the mode that has been previously  
selected.  
Depending on the structure of a VCD disc, the  
functions Slow Reverse and Step Reverse may be  
prohibited or have no function and Fast Playback  
(Search) may not function.  
4. Press STOP to stop the playback.  
The DVD player’s playback functionalities of DivX  
video discs will vary depending on the DivX  
version used for creating your movies.  
To listen to a DVD-program in traditional two  
channel stereo, using the front left and front  
right speakers only (plus the subwoofer if  
installed and configured), follow the instructions  
shown in the chapter DVD Sound Mode, in the  
Audio Settings Menu.  
Fast Playback (Search) will not function with  
CD's containing MP3 data.  
About DivX Movie Files  
The DivX disc compatibility of this DVD player is  
limited by the following:  
• the available resolution size of the DivX file  
should be below 720x576 (W x H) pixels.  
• the total number of files and folders on the  
disc should be less than 999.  
• the number of screen frames per second  
should be below 29.97 frames per second.  
• the video and audio structure of recorded file  
should be interleaved.  
The player is capable of playing DivX files with  
the extensions “.avi”.  
The player is capable of playing subtitle files  
with the extensions “.smi”, “.srt”, “.sub (Micro  
DVD format only)” or "ssa". Other subtitle files  
won’t be displayed. Subtitle files need to carry  
the same name as the movie file (but with either  
one of the above extensions) and should be  
located in the same directory.

Levels 7 to 2: DVDs for general audiences/  
children can be played. Level 1: DVDs for children  
can be played; DVDs for adults/general audiences  
are prohibited. Follow the explanations on the  
screen to set a new password.  
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 HS 150 accomplishes  
this by compressing the audio to a greater or  
lesser degree, depending on which setting you  
choose. Three options are available:  
Audio Adjustment  
Disc Recognition: When set to on, the next  
time a disc is inserted, the HS will show a “Disc  
Recognized” message, with the question if you  
would like to play the disc from the beginning or  
would like to resume from where you last  
stopped the disc. The memory can contain  
information of the last 100 discs played.

the original playback, and should be used  
when the volume setting in the listening room  
may be as loud as you desire.  
PBC Support: Activates PBC (Play Back Control)  
Support for VCD discs.  
Screen Saver: Activates a Screen Saver to  
prevent image “burn” in a video display device.  
If you connect the HS Controller to a plasma  
screen or video projector, we recommend you  
activate the screen saver at all times.  
MEDIUM applies a moderate amount of  
compression so that louder passages are a  
little bit quieter.  
MAXIMUM applies more compression so that  
louder passages are much softer.  
Show Angle Icon: Determines whether the  
Angle Icon will appear on the screen when there  
are different angles available on a DVD disc.  
The Audio Adjustment Submenu contains the  
access to the output level adjustment settings of  
the HS 150. Follow the explanations in the Upper

Test Screen  
The crosshatch pattern that surrounds the test

displays. However, the controls used to adjust  
these parameters are often not user-accessible.  
In any event, these adjustments are extremely  
complex, and require proper training and  
experience to avoid worsening the situation.  
Therefore, it is recommended that if you are  
unable to improve the picture using the  
available controls, contact the video display  
manufacturer’s authorized service representative  
for assistance.  
When you activate the Test Screen via the OSD  
you can activate a still image to test all settings  
and the video performance of your TV. With the

panel display.  
No power.  
• Is the power cord firmly plugged into the  
power outlet?  
• Replace all the batteries in the remote control  
with new ones if they are weak.  
• 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.  
• Check that the batteries are loaded correctly.  
• One of the safety mechanisms may be  
operating. In this event, unplug the player from  
the power outlet briefly and then plug it in  
again.

picture.  
• Clean the disc.  
• Check that the connecting cords are away from  
a transformer or motor and at least 3 meters  
away from fluorescent light.  
Playback stops automatically.  
• Some discs include an auto pause signal. When  
playing such a disc, the system stops playback  
at the signal.  
• If video from this system has to go through  
your VCR to get to your TV, the copy-protection  
applied to some DVD programs could affect  
picture quality. If you still experience problems  
after checking your connections, please try  
connecting your DVD system directly to your  
TV’s S-Video input, if your TV is equipped with

(picture vertically expanded) when you  
play a wide picture even though you set  
“TV DISPLAY” in the SETUP menu to  
"16:9".  
• If you connect the system with the SCART  
cable, connect directly to the TV. Otherwise the  
autoswitch function of the aspect ratio for the  
TV may not work.  
Radio stations cannot be tuned in.  
• Check that the antenna is connected correctly.  
Adjust the antenna and connect an external  
antenna if necessary.  
• If the TV is not connected with a SCART cable  
to the HS, or if the autoswitch function does  
not work you should turn the TV to "16:9" (if  
possible with your TV).  
• The signal strength of the stations is too weak  
for automatic tuning. Use manual tuning.  
• No stations have been preset.  
• Depending on the TV, you may not be able to  
change the aspect ratio. In that case (TV not  
adjustable to 16:9) do not select "16:9" in the  
TV Display. Then, no change of the aspect ratio  
is needed.  
• The tuner mode is not selected, select the  
Radio mode.

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  
capacity of a dual-layer and single-sided DVD is  
8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided  
DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided  
DVD 17 GB. The picture data uses the MPEG 2  
format, one of the worldwide standards of digital  
compression technology. The picture data is  
compressed to about 1/40 of its original size.  
The DVD also uses the variable rate coding  
technology that changes the data to be allocated  
according to the status of the picture. The audio  
data is recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS and/or  
PCM, allowing you to enjoy more natural audio  
presence. Furthermore, various advanced  
functions such as multi-angle, multilingual, and  
subtitles may be provided with the DVD.  
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  
separation. Furthermore, since all the signals are  
processed digitally, less signal degradation  
occurs. The name “AC-3” comes from the fact  
that it is the third audio coding method to be  
developed by the Dolby Laboratories Licensing  
Corporation.

Multi-angle function  
Various angles or viewpoints of the video camera  
for a scene are recorded on some DVDs.  
Dolby Pro Logic II Surround  
This is a method of decoding stereo or surround  
recordings that produces five channels from two-  
channel sound. Compared with the former Dolby  
Surround system, Dolby Pro Logic II Surround  
reproduces left-to-right panning more naturally  
and localizes sounds more precisely. To take full  
advantage of Dolby Pro Logic II Surround, you  
should have a pair of rear speakers and a center  
speaker. The rear speakers output stereo sound.  
Multilingual function  
Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a  
picture are recorded on some DVDs.  
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  
activated, 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  
subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides  
5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital  
audio. Good channel separation is realized,  
because all channels are recorded discretely and  
processed digitally.
