All of the optional system settings have been
pre set at our factory for correct operation of the
system. All you have to do is insert a disc, sit
back, and enjoy a great home theater
experience.
You may want to change some of the op tion al
set tings. A description of all the optional set tings
and in struc tions for changing them are found in
the second half of the manual.
This system was designed to provide you with
many years of reliable operation with a minimum
of care and main te nance. Every component in
your system was in perfect working con di tion
when it left our fac to ry. If you ex pe ri ence any
problems with the set-up or operation of this
system, please review the Troubleshooting Guide
at the end of this manual before you con tact
your authorized Harman Kardon dealer.
Important Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your Digital Lounge system 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 system.
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.
Do Not Use Extension Cords
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power
cords attached to your system components. 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.
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 system for any
considerable length of time, disconnect the plug
from the AC outlet.
Do Not Open the Cabinet
There are no user-serviceable components inside
the system components. Opening the cabinets or
rear panels may present a shock hazard, and any
modification to the system components will void
your guarantee. If water or any metal object
such as a paper clip, wire or a staple accidentally
falls inside the system components, disconnect
them from the AC power source immediately,
and consult an authorized service station.

Safety Information
Installation Location
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 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 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.
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.
n The display surface of the screen is sensitive to
pressure and scratching. Treat the display surface with care in order to avoid lasting damage.
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.
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.
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 disconnection from the mains voltage you must pull
out the mains plug.
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 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.
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.
Cleaning
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.
Moving the Unit
Before moving the system components, be certain to disconnect any interconnection cords with
other components, and make certain that you
disconnect the components from the AC outlet.
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.
The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new DVD player/receiver, TV and loudspeakers 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.
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.
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.
Copyright
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.
Copy protection
This DVD player supports Macro vision 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 pro tecti on code prevents the videotape copy from playing normally.
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.
Do not attempt to clean the pickup lens
yourself.

Terminology
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.
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.
Full HD and HD Ready
High Definition (HD) is the future broadcast standard, 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.
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 command data, allowing customers to obtain pure
digital high-definition video.
Digital Visual Interface™ (DVI) Input
The DVI input provides a high speed, digital connection for visual data types. The interface is primary focused at providing a connection between
a computer and the display.
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP)
HDCP is a specification developed to protect digital 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 DVDAudio/Video player to the DVI/HDMI-inputs on the
Harman Kardon Digital Lounge display.
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.
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 available, for instance in consumer electronics products. 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.
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.
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 progressive scan video output resulting in a 40% greater
light output than a conventional TV and a stunningly detailed, high definition image with absence
of visible scanlines and motion artifacts.
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.
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 resolution, digital tuners.
DVB-T
DVB-T stands for Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial and it is the European consortium standard for the broadcast transmission of Digital terrestrial television.
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 availability of multiple viewing angles.
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.
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.
In resume mode, the cover of the DVD will be
displayed, if available. Otherwise, the
Harman Kardon screen will appear.
DivX
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
to www.divx.com.

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 multi pleangle play. In addition, the DVD is capable of
playing back both Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks, but the number and types of tracks
available will vary from disc to disc. To make
certain that a specific feature or soundtrack
option is available, please check the options
noted on the disc jacket.
n Playback capability for CD-R, CD-RW, WMA,
JPEG, MP3, DivX, VCD/SVCD, DVD-R, DVD+R,
DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs may vary due to
variations in the quality of the disc and the
recorder used to create the disc.
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 compatibility 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.
Upgradeability via Internet
The ”firmware” controlling the functionality of
the Harman Kardon Digital Lounge system is
fully upgradeable. In the event of future
improvements to its operations and features,
it will be possible to download firmware
upgrades from
www.harmankardon.com/International/
All you have to do is create a CD-R with the
data and insert it in the DVD for an automatic
upgrade. You can also load the upgrade on a
portable mass storage device to connect to any
of the two USB inputs.

Basic Information
About This Manual
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 sun light as there can be a
considerable rise in temperature in side 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.
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 in tend ed for vinyl LPs.
Disc installing precautions
• Do not install more than 1 disc on disc tray.
• 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.
Regional Coding
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.
The region code of this player is indicated on the
rear and on the external packaging.
Important basic principles for use
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.
We request your understanding for the fact that
such defects, provided that they are within the
limits specified by the standard, cannot be considered to be as an appliance defect in the terms
of the warranty.
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
• use your display in full screen format (16:9)
• activate the screen saver
• display moving images as far as possible
• always switch off the display when it is not
being used
• reduce the contrast and brightness as much as
possible.
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.
Sheath-type current filters are offered in the form
of a small adaptor plug in the retail trade.
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.
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 backgrounds.
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.
Cleaning the Screen
Before you start any cleaning, turn off the unit and
disconnect the mains plug from the plug outlet.
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!
Cleaning the housing
The cleaning kit can also be used to clean the
housing of the screen.
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.

Important Note
Please open the Harman Kardon Digital Lounge
Accessory Tool Kit before opening any of the
other system components. The Kit contains two
pairs of gloves, that can be used to unpack the
LCD screen without damaging its frame nor
leaving fingerprints on it.
After unpacking the different system components,
and placing them on a solid surface capable of
supporting their weight, you will need to make the
connections to your audio and video equipment.
Equipment Connections
We recommend that you use the supplied cables
when making connections to source equipment
and high quality interconnect cables to additional
equipment to preserve the integrity of the
signals.
When making connections to audio source
equipment or speakers it is always a good
practice to unplug the units from the AC wall
outlet. This prevents any possibility of
accidentally sending audio or transient signals to
the speakers that may damage them.
Making the necessary connections to the Digital
Lounge system is done in five easy steps.
1. Connect the front, center and surround speaker
outputs
to the respective speakers.
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.
When connecting wires to the speakers, be
certain 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
postive (+) connection. Con nect the “negative”
or “black” wire to the same terminal on both the
receiver and the speaker.
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
or surround-left and surround-right speakers,
even if the speakers are a different distance
from the Digital Lounge system controller.
2. Connections to the subwoofer are made via a
line level audio connection from the Subwoofer
Output
of the subwoofer. Connect at the same time the
Subwoofer Trigger Output
Input of the subwoofer.
to the line-level SUB input (purple)
to the Trigger
3. Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM
(75 ohm) connection
. The FM antenna may
be an external roof antenna, an inside powered
or wire lead antenna or a connection from a
cable system. Note that if the antenna or connection uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you should
use a 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adapter to make the
connection.
4. Your system comes with an combined
HDMI/SP-DIF/Remote in/out cable to make a digital video connection over HDMI and digital
audio connection from the TV to the DVD re ceiver. Connect the HDMI connector on one end
of the wire to the HDMI Output
er and the other end to the HDMI Input
of the receiv-
J
of
the screen. Connect the Coaxial Digital connector
on one end of the cable to the Coaxial Digital
Input
Coaxial Digital Output
of the receiver and the other end to the
H
of the screen.
Connect one end of the remote connector (the
single pin connector) to the Remote Input of the
screen and the other end to the Remote Input of
the DVD Receiver. Please note that you may run
the remote signal both ways. If you decide that it
is easiest for you to control both screen and
receiver by pointing the remote control towards
the screen, plug the remote cable into the
Remote Control Out of the screen and into the
Remote Control In of the receiver. If your setup
makes it more practical to aim the remote at the
receiver to control both receiver and screen, plug
the remote cable into the Remote Control Out of
the receiver and into the Remote Control In of
the screen.
5. If you use a standard analog TV antenna, con-
D
nect to the Antenna Input
on the rear panel
of the screen. In case you use a DVB-T antenna,
Z
connect that one to the DVB-T Input
on the
rear panel of the screen.
All necessary connections are now made. If you
have additional source components to add,
please refer to the next paragraphs. If not, please
continue with the next chapter of the manual.

Speaker Placement
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 designated 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-channel 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 centerchannel 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.
Using these guidelines, you’ll find that it takes
some experimentation to find the correct location
for the front speakers in your particular installation. Don’t be afraid to move things around until
the system sounds correct. Optimize your speakers 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 position 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 loudspeakers. Follow the instructions in the manual of the
stands for proper installation of the loudspeakers
on the stands.
Subwoofers produce largely nondirectional
sound, so they may be placed almost anywhere in
a room. Actual placement should be based on
room size.
A) Front Channel Speaker Installation
with table stand
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.
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 subwoofer 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.

Screen Placement
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.
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.
Loosen and remove the 8 screws (M4x5) in the
stand. Please keep the screws in a safe place in
case you would like to re-install the screen on the
stand in the future.
Look at the attached drilling template in the
accessory pack to determine the appropriate distance between the two holes in the wall for your
individual display size.
Fit two plugs and hooks capable of carrying three
times the weight of the screen in the wall and
position the screen so that the hooks can be
introduced into the openings provided for this
purpose on the rear side of the screen.

progressing to introduce age codes to be transmitted along with the program content, to
exclude programs that are marked to be for children older than the set limit.
You may also change the PIN code. You will be

option shows an information bar when a new
programme starts if selected On.
Miscellaneous Settings lets you choose
between manual or automatic time zone adjustment. If manual is chosen, you may enter the
time zone of your choice. If automatic is chosen,
the tuner receives time information from the
DVB-T system, including info about
Summertime/Daylight Savings Time. You may also
select active antenna or not, if you change the
antenna to another type. Do not select Active if
you are not absolutely sure that you do have an
active antenna. You may switch the channel list
appearance to list the channels alphabetically A-Z
or Z-A, or according to provider, or to show no

Surround Mode
One of the most important features of the
Digital Lounge system is its ability to reproduce a
full multichannel surround sound field from digital sources, analog matrix surround encoded programs and standard stereo programs.
Selection of a surround mode is based on personal taste, as well as the type of program source
material being used. For example, motion pictures, CD’s or TV programs bearing the logo of
one of the major surround encoding processes,
such as Dolby Surround should be played in
either the Harman proprietary Logic 7 Movie or
Dolby Pro Logic II Movie (with movies) or Logic 7
Music or Dolby Pro Logic II Music (with music)
surround mode.
Surround modes and audio formats are selected
using the remote. Press the AUDIO button
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.
When a digital source is present, the DVD receiver will automatically select and switch to the correct mode (Dolby Digital or DTS), regardless of
the mode that has been previously selected.
To listen to a DVD-program in traditional two
channel stereo, using the front left and front
right speakers only plus the subwoofer, follow
the instructions shown in the chapter DVD Sound
Mode, in the Audio Settings Menu.

System Defaults
The final step of the installation is to establish
the system’s defaults. It is helpful to take a few
minutes to famili arize yourself with these settings, as they may require change before the first
use and later from time to time.
General Functionality of the
User Interface
The complete setup and control of the Digital
Lounge takes place in an advanced Guided User
Interface menu system. The Guided User Interface
integrates four individual menu structures, all
easily accessible via the remote control:
• Set Up Menu for the Screen
• Set Up Menu for the DVD receiver
• On Screen Display Menu for the Screen
to
• On Screen Display Menu for the DVD receiver
All menus are easily accessible via the remote
control.
The main menu of the DVD-Receiver is available
by pressing the OSD Button
being in receiver mode (see page 24). It consists
of a DISC Menu, RADIO Menu, TV Menu, AUX
Menu, DIGITAL Menu, USB Menu, DMP menu
and a SET-UP Menu. The DISC Menu will show all
infor mation and options available for the disc
currently playing. The RADIO Menu will show
radio and RDS options. The TV, AUX and DIGITAL
Menus show the surround options for these specific audio inputs. The USB Menu will show all
information and options available when USB
thumb devices or portable hard disks are connected. The DMP menu helps you browse
through your music library once your iPod is connected to your Bridge.The SET-UP Menu will help
you configure all audio and video settings which
are normally only made once.
As the connection between the screen and the
DVD receiver is over HDMI, you will be able to
benefit from having high resolution interface
images, that are text based.
Many menus contain Submenus or text lines.

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:
MINIMUM does not make any changes to
•
the original playback, and should be used
when the volume setting in the listening room
may be as loud as you desire.
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.
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-acti va tes the
Bass and Treble settings. Once either the Bass or
Treble Settings are changed, the Tone Control
automati cally switches to ON.
Bass Level: Sets the level of low frequencies.
Treble Level: Sets the level of high frequencies.
DVD Sound Mode: Sets the audio format of
the DVD-disc playing (for other sources, see
Surround Mode in each respective chapter). Once
set to stereo, every surround format on a DVD
will be converted to a pure stereo signal. Once
set to Logic 7 or Dolby Pro Logic II, all stereo signals on a DVD are forced into 5.1. This setting is
recommended. Original will follow the surround
format on the disc.
Audio Adjustment
Figure 5
The Audio Adjustment Submenu contains the
access to the manual speaker delay and the output level adjustment settings of the Digital
Lounge as well as the automated EzSet/EQ
setup. Follow the explanations in the Upper
Menu Line on the bottom of your screen to make
adjustments.
Automated Speaker Setup
Using EzSet/EQ
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.
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 equipment 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.
We recommend that you take advantage of the
precision of EzSet/EQ to calibrate your system,
but if desired you may also make any of the
configuration settings manually, or trim the
settings provided by EzSet/EQ by following the
instructions on page 34.
If you wish to configure your DL manually, or if
for some reason your EzSet/EQ microphone is
unavailable, you may still do so by following the
instructions on page 34.
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.
Step 2: The EzSet/EQ microphone should be
placed in either your usual listening position or, if
there is a large seating area, the center of the
room, at the listeners’ ear level. You may find it
convenient to use a camera tripod for stable
placement of the EzSet/EQ microphone at the
correct height. The microphone includes a threaded insert on the bottom for tripod mounting.
Step 3: Plug the EzSet/EQ microphone into the
Digital Lounge’s Headphone Jack
certain that the mini-plug is firmly connected. The
microphone cable is approximately 7 meter long,
which should accommodate most listening room
situations. If required, you may use an optional
extension cable, available at most electronics
stores, for use in larger rooms. However, we recommend that you avoid using extension cords for
the microphone cable, as they may adversely
affect the test results.

Figure 6b
IMPORTANT NOTE: Anyone with hearing that is
sensitive to loud noises should leave the room at
this point, or use ear protection sufficient to
reduce the noise level. Inexpensive foam-style ear
plugs, available at most drug stores, may be used
to reduce the sound level to a tolerable level. If
you are uncomfortable with, or cannot tolerate,
loud sounds and do not use some sort of ear
protection, we strongly recommend that you
leave the room and ask someone else to run the
EzSet/EQ process, or that you do not use
EzSet/EQ and enter the configuration settings
manually, as described on page 34.
Step 6. At this point you will begin to hear a
series of test tones circulate among all the
speakers in your system. While this is happening,
the Digital Lounge is reading the signal to determine which speaker positions are active, what
type of speaker is present at each active position,
what the distance is from the listening position
to each speaker, and to begin to build a profile of
the impact of the room’s acoustics on the quality
of audio reproduction. When the test is completed you will hear the tones stop, and the system
will pause for as long as a minute while the
processor makes its calculations. Do not be
alarmed if the “WARNING” message remains on
the screen after tones stop until a results message is displayed as shown in Step 6 or 7, below.
NOTE: While these tests detect whether a speaker is connected to a particular output, they cannot determine whether the speaker is in the correct position. (For example, it can tell whether a
speaker is connected to the Surround Right output, 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
since there is a connection error press the
¤
Navigation Button9so that the on-screen
cursor in Fig. 7 is pointing to
the ENTER Button
BACK and press
6
. At this point, exit all
menus and turn the receiver off. Check all speaker wire connections and then rerun EzSet/EQ.
Step 7. When the Far Field tests are complete a
message screen will appear to confirm if the procedure was successful or not. In most cases there
will not be any problems and you will see the
message shown in Figure 6d on your screen. If
the speaker positions shown match the actual
speaker layout in your system select
press the ENTER Button

NEXT and,
to complete
EzSet/EQ by performing the Near Field
Measurements from the front left, center, front
right and surround left and right speakers. By
taking this separate set of measurements, the
Digital Lounge is able to complete its view of the
room’s sonic signature and apply equalization as
needed to correct spikes and dips in the system’s
response. Continue these instructions with
Step 8.
Figure 6d
Step 7a. If the measurements are not successful
due to a missing or malfunctioning speaker, the
message will appear as shown in Figure 6e.
EzSet/EQ is programmed to look for speaker pairs
at the front left/front right, surround
left/surround right and surround back
left/surround back right positions. If the test
results indicate that one, but not both of the
speakers in any of these pairs is present, the
menu will show
NO next to the speaker position
where the tests did not report back that a speaker is present. Should this message appear, make
note of the suspect speaker location, exit all
menus and turn the receiver off. Check all speaker wire connections and then rerun EzSet/EQ
until all speakers are detected successfully.

32 SYSTEM SETUP
Figure 6e
Page 33

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.
Figure 6f
Step 9. During the Near Field testing, (Figure
6f), you will see an instruction to place the
microphone in a different position than the one
used for the initial Far Field measurements. This
time, place the microphone close to the speaker
to be measured, at a distance of about 1 meter.
In addition, the top of the microphone should be
pointed towards the speaker, rather than pointing up as was done for the Far Field tests. For the
first measurement, place the microphone so that
it is close to, and pointing towards, the front left
speaker, and press the ENTER Button
Step 10. One short test signal will be sent to the
speaker position being calibrated and after a
slight pause from the system to calculate the test
results, you will see either the next Near Field
Measurement screen, or a "Testing Error" screen.
In most cases, the “next Near Field
Measurement” message will appear, in which
case you should proceed to Step 11, if an “Error”
message appears, go to Step 12.

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

In most cases it is simpler, easier and more accurate to let EzSet/EQ take care of entering the system parameters for speaker “size”, speaker
crossover, channel output and individual channel
delay time. However, if you feel that your listening 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

Delay
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.
Output level adjustment
Output level adjustment is a key part of the
configuration process for any surround sound
pro duct.
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.
The default settings of the DVD player is 0 dB for
all channels. In case you feel adjustments are
necessary in your setup, we advise you to make
the adjustments using the internal test tone
generator.
Once the cursor is moved to any of the speaker
level icons, the test noise will be heard from the
corresponding speaker. If this is not the case
please check whether the loudspeaker is connected to the correct loudspeaker output on the
rear panel. The speaker level can be adjusted by
pressing ENTER and selecting an appropriate
level indicated in the Lower Menu Line. The test
noise will stop as soon as the cursor is moved
away from any speaker level icon.
Once all Audio Adjustment Settings have been
set to your personal taste, move the cursor to the
left until VIDEO SETTINGS is highlighted. Press

ENTER
to access the Video Settings Menu.
Video Settings
Figure 7a
The Video Setting Submenu contains the following settings. Follow the explanations in the Upper
Menu Line on the bottom of your screen to
change the settings.
Video Mode: This setting affects only the video
signal on the HDMI output and the progressive
signals on Component video and it controls how
the video signals are optimized for progressive
scan display. In most cases, the “automatic”
mode is your best choice, as it senses whether
the disc being played was originally recorded on
video or shot on film. However, in some cases
you may wish to compensate for errors in the
disc authoring that occur when the lag for the
film mode detection is not properly set when
films are converted to video. Three choices are
available reducing the impact of the digital
source perceptibly.
• Auto: This is the recommended setting, as it
lets the DVD player analyze the signals from
the DVD and adjust the output accordingly.
• Movie: Choose this option for optimal play-
back of material that was shot on film, even
though you are viewing it on video via a DVD.
• Video: Choose this option for optimal play-
back of material that was shot directly to
video, such as concerts and sports programming.
Video Resolution: Selects the resolution of the
HDMI and Component video output. Due to the
one-wire, digital HDMI connection with the
screen, the Cinema Lounge system performs best
with the 720p setting.

Dolby Digital: Available only with digital input
sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate main audio channels
and a special dedicated Low Frequency Effects
channel.
DTS: Available only with digital input sources

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 recorded 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.
The Logic 7 Movie mode should be used with
any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar 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.
The Logic 7 Music mode should be used with
analog or PCM stereo sources. Logic 7 Music
enhances the listening experience by presenting
a wider front soundstage and greater rear
ambience. Both Logic 7 modes also direct lowfrequency information to the subwoofer (if
installed and configured) to deliver maximum
bass impact.

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

Aspect Ratio
The Digital Lounge display allows for watching
video sources in several aspect ratios. The
default setting is Fill All and can be set to your
personal taste for each individual input, as
described on page 29. Should you wish to temporarily change the aspect ratio of a video input,
press the Screen Format Button
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:
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 optimal size and aspect ratio that will be streched
vertically in the "Normal" mode (see below).
16:9: In this mode the picture is scaled horizontally to the complete picture width, approx. 25
%in total being cut off the top and bottom of
the picture recorded with 4:3 format.
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:
Normal: Displays the PC picture filling the complete 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.
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
the picture. It can also be used with nonanamorphic pictures that will show a small
frame around in Normal mode.
One to one: With this setting the number of
visible screen pixels is adapted to the input signal, i.e. 1366 x 768 pixels are always reproduced by the PC picture for a screen resolution
of 1366 x 768 while e.g. the frequently used PC
graphics card resolution 1024 x 768 will fill the
height of the screen and keep big black bars on
the sides (as with a 4:3 video). This PC mode is
recommended for getting PC Pictures with optimal performance.
Available picture formats for all other
video sources
Normal, Fill All, 16:9, 14:9: These are the
same settings as with TV and PC source
described above.
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.
This mode should be used for the full screen display of any non-anamorphic letterbox video
material (with a black frame around).
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.
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 displayed 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.

Troubleshooting
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 authorized Harman Kardon dealer.
No power.
• Is the power cord firmly plugged into the
power outlet?
• 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.
No picture.
• Check that the system is connected correctly
and securely.
• The video cable may be damaged. Replace it
with a new one.
• Make sure the system is connected to a video
input on the TV (see page 19).
• Make sure the TV is turned on.
• Make sure the correct video input on the TV is
selected for viewing with this system.
Noise (interference) appears in
the picture.
• Clean the disc.
• 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 pro blems
after checking your connecti ons, please try connecting your DVD system directly to your TV’s
S-Video input, if your TV is equipped with this
input (see page 19).
The aspect ratio of the screen is wrong
(picture vertically expanded) when you
play a wide picture by the player or an
external source connected to the screen
even though you set “TV DISPLAY” in the
SETUP menu to "Auto".
• If you connect the system or the external
source with the SCART cable, connect directly
to the TV. Otherwise the autoswitch function of
the aspect ratio for the TV may not work.
• If the TV is not connected with a SCART cable
to the DL (as recommended) or the external
source, or if the autoswitch function does not
work you should turn the TV to "Fill All".
There is no sound or volume is very low
• Check that the speakers and components are
connected correctly and securely.
• Make sure that you have selected the correct
source on the system.
• Press MUTE on the remote control, if the
words MUTE ON are blinking on the front
panel display.
• 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.
• The audio interconnect is damaged. Replace it
with a new one.

Severe hum or noise is heard.
• Check that the speakers and components are
connected securely.
• Check that the connecting cords are away from
a transformer or motor and at least 3 meters
away from fluorescent light.
• Move your TV away from the audio components.
• The plugs and jacks are dirty. Wipe them with a
cloth slightly moistened with alcohol.
• Clean the disc.
• Disconnect antenna cables from external
sources (also PC) connected to the screen or
system. If hum disappears use an antenna
transfomer between antenna and source.
• If PC is connected to the system disconnect the
Audio and Video cables. If hum disappears use
an audio transformer between PC audio out
and system input. If hum persists unplug PC
from your system and ask your local dealer for
a proper solution (ground loop interrupt).
The surround effect is difficult to hear
when you are playing a Dolby Digital
sound track.
• Check to see if the Dolby Digital mode is
turned on properly, other wise unload and load
the disc again.
• Check the speaker connections.
• Depending on the DVD disc, the output signal
may at times be mono or stereo even if the
soundtrack is recorded in Dolby Digital format.

Glossary
Bit rate
Value indicating the amount of video data compressed 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 pictures.
Chapter
Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD
that are smaller than titles. Many titles are composed of several chapters, but many others are
not. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number
enabling you to locate the chapter you want.
Dolby Digital (“5.1”, “AC-3”)
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 subwoofer 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.

Laboratories. "Dolby", "AC-3", "Pro Logic" and

Laboratories. Confidential Unpublished Works.

Dolby Pro Logic II Surround
This is a method of decoding stereo or surround
recordings that produces five channels from twochannel 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.
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.

MPEG AUDIO
International standard coding system to compress 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.
DVD
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.
Multi-angle function
Various angles or viewpoints of the video camera
for a scene are recorded on some DVDs.
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.
Title
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.
Track
Sections of a music piece on a CD. Each track is
assigned a track number enabling you to locate
the track you want.
PCM
Pulse code modulation, an uncompressed data
formation.
NTSC
National TV Systems Committee: a video standard used in USA.
PAL
Phase Alternation Line: a video standard used in
many European countries.
