Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Harman Kardon DMC 1000

The DMC 1000 merges a high-end DVD player, including upscaling to 1080p with an HDMI output, with a media server capable of storing up to 60,000 songs on its 250Gb hard drive. Simultaneous playback of different tracks is possible in up to four zones, or you may link any or all of the zones to each other.

Thanks to Gracenote

MusicID,®* all content recorded from a CD to the DMC 1000’s hard drive is identified by album name, artist and genre, with additional information to show the title of each track. Even better, for most popular albums, the DMC 1000 will display the cover art when connected to the Internet. The content is automatically organized by the identification fields and by the cover, and you may select it and program playlists to suit any mood or occasion. The graphical presentation of system content is available in both high-definition and standarddefinition outputs, for crisp, easy-to-read displays on any video screen.

To enable you to get the maximum quality from DVDs, the DVD is equipped with the latest in design techniques, including advanced 10-bit video digital-to-analog converters (DAC) and Video (composite), S-Video and RGB video (RGB via SCART) outputs, to ensure that you get all the quality inherent in today’s DVD medium. For optimum playback of NTSC and PAL DVD with compatible high-definition display devices, DVD is equipped with progressive component video outputs.

When used with an HDMI-compatible audio/ video receiver and video display, the program quality is preserved. By passing an uncompressed signal, degradation is virtually nonexistent. And the single-cable connection eliminates the problem of wire management.

If you have not yet upgraded to an HDMI video display, you may still enjoy pristine picture quality with the DMC 1000’s precision video DACs, which output a Y/Pr/Pb progressive-scan component signal and composite and S-video. Thus, no matter what type of video display used, you will see images that are the closest thing to the original film or performance this side of your local theater.

When playing audio CDs, the playback quality is state-of-the-art, matching that of the finest players available.

In addition to DVD and CD playback, the DMC 1000 offers audio and still-image playback from both solid-state media cards and USB drives. You can even record analog sources such as your old tapes, cassettes and even vinyl records (with an optional, external phono preamp) to store virtually any audio content for instant playback. And the DMC 1000 allows content to be transferred from the hard drive to the memory cards or a USB drive, or even a recordable CD. This flexibility lets

™

you take your music with you in a wide range of portable players, or in your car.

Additional features of the DMC 1000 include iPod audio playback through Harman Kardon’s optional The Bridge accessory, with charging and navigation available to any zone in your system. System control options include the unit’s backlit remote, optional external IR sensor/receivers.

If you have additional questions about this product or its installation or operation that are not answered in this manual, please contact your dealer, as he is your best source of local infor mation.

INTRODUCTION

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.

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.

Media Library: The Media Library refers to the content stored on the DMC 1000’s internal hard-disc drive. It contains all of the content that you have transferred to the DMC 1000, including copies of audio CDs, captures of audio streams from the Auxiliary Analog Audio Inputs, and MP3 audio and JPEG image files transferred from memory cards, discs or USB drives. The Media Library automatically organizes the content so that you may view it by track name, album, artist, genre, cover art (when available) or playlists that you have created. When a multizone system has been connected, each zone may access different content stored in the Media Library.

Multizone: A multizone system is used to distribute audio to various rooms in the house so that the occupants of each room may independently choose different program material. The DMC 1000 permits up to four different zones to distribute audio simultaneously. Multizone control is usually set up by the custom installer.

Zone: A zone is a section of a multizone system in which all loudspeakers in the zone play the same source program. By connecting the DMC 1000’s audio outputs for a specific zone to a multichannel amplifier, you may include a number of loudspeakers in a variety of room locations within the zone. Example: A four-channel amplifier connected to the Zone 2 Outputs may power a pair of speakers in the living room and a stereo ceiling speaker in the connected dining room, so that you and your guests may enjoy the same program anywhere within the zone.

Component Video: This form of video signal eliminates many of the artifacts of traditional composite video signals by splitting the signal into a separate luminance channel (the “Y” signal channel) and two color-difference signals (the Pr and Pb signal channels). With a component video connection, you will see greater picture resolution and eliminate many picture imperfections such as the moiré patterns often seen on check-patterned cloth. However, in order to benefit from component video, you must have a video display with Y/Pr/Pb component video inputs. Do not connect the component video outputs of the DMC 1000 to the standard composite or S-video inputs of a TV or recorder.

HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection): HDCP is the specification for

protecting digitally encoded content from unauthorized copying when it is transmitted from a DVD player (or other video source) to a video display using HDMI or DVI connections. In order to take advantage of the high-resolution output of the DMC 1000 via its HDMI output, your display must be HDCP-compliant. Virtually all displays with HDMI inputs are HDCP-compliant, but not all DVI-equipped displays are. If you are using the DMC 1000 with an optional HDMI-to-DVI cable or adapter, check the owner’s manual for your display to determine whether it is HDCP-compliant.

™

(High-Definition Multimedia

HDMI Interface

™

): HDMI is a serial-bus form of

communication between the DVD player and the video display or audio/video receiver. With 5Gbps of bandwidth, it is capable of passing uncompressed digital audio and high-definition digital video using a single cable. With HDMI, the DMC 1000 is capable of outputting high-resolution (720p or 1080p) video and

5.1-channel Dolby Digital or DTS digital audio, with the convenience of just a single cable connection.

JPEG Files: JPEG stands for the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which developed a standard for compressing still images, such as photographs. JPEG files may be created on a personal computer by importing images from a digital camera, or scanning printed photographs. These files may be burned onto a compact disc. The DMC 1000 is capable of recognizing JPEG files and enabling you to view them on your video screen.

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 subsections programmed into a single title on a disc. Chapters may be compared to the individual tracks on an audio CD.

TERMINOLOGY

ENGLISH

Terminology

RGB Video: This is a new form of video signal

that eliminates many of the artifacts of traditional 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.

Progressive Scan: Due to the immense data storage capacity of DVD, images are nowadays stored progressively (intact, rather than interlaced). This allow all of the lines in each frame (odd and even) to be shown at the same time. DMC 1000 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.

WMA Files: WMA (Windows Media an audio compression format that was developed by the Microsoft

Corporation for use with its

Audio) is

Windows Media Player. WMA files can be even smaller in size than MP3 files, while maintaining similar quality. The DMC 1000 is among those DVD players capable of playing discs containing WMA files. Note that Windows Media Player uses other file formats; however, the DMC 1000 is only capable of playing files that end in the “.wma” extension. See page 27 for more information on WMA file support.

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 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.

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.

L Video Output Indicators: Either the 576i or 576p indicator will light to indicate whether the Component Video Outputs are in progressive scan mode. When the Composite or S-Video Outputs are in use, this indicator will always indicate the default 576i (interlaced scan) setting, even if you attempt to change the Output Resolution setting in the Video Setup menu to a higher video resolution. When the HDMI Output is in use, its video resolution will be indicated. The HDMI Output will upscale source materials to the higher resolution, as indicated in the VIDEO SETUP menu (explained in the Initial Setup section). You may change the Video Out Resolution setting to a lower resolution to improve picture quality using the VIDEO SETUP menu. As you select a specific HDMI Output video resolution and the DMC 1000 successfully determines that the video display is capable of handling that resolution, its indicator will light and will appear briefly in the Message Display and on screen.

M Angle Indicator: This indicator blinks when alternative viewing angles are available on the DVD currently playing.

N Parental Lock Indicator: This indicator lights when the parental-lock system is engaged in order to prevent anyone from changing the rating level without a code.

Record: Press this button to open a menu that allows you to record content from one media source to another.

• Audio CDs are automatically recorded to the

Media Library when they are inserted.

• Audio sources connected to the Auxiliary

Analog Audio Inputs may only be recorded to the Media Library. You may later transfer that content from a playlist to a memory card, a recordable CD or a USB drive.

• To copy recordings from the Media Library to a

memory card, a USB drive or a CD-R/RW disc, first create a playlist of the desired content. If the content was originally imported to the Media Library from a memory card or USB device, the DMC 1000 automatically created a playlist at that time.

• When using the pull-down menus to select a

recording source (“From”) and a destination (“To”) only those sources with available content will appear. The Auxiliary Analog Audio Inputs will always appear, because the DMC 1000 is not capable of detecting the presence of an audio signal.

Optical Digital Output: Connect this jack to the optical digital input of an A/V receiver or surround processor for Dolby Digital, DTS or PCM audio playback.

Coaxial Digital Output: Connect this jack to the coaxial digital input of an A/V receiver or surround processor for Dolby Digital, DTS or PCM audio playback.

NOTE: The coaxial digital output should only be connected to a digital input. Even though it is the same RCA-type connector as standard analog audio connections, DO NOT connect it to a conventional analog input jack.

Connect either the Optical Digital Audio

Output Output

or the Coaxial Digital Audio

to a corresponding digital audio

input on your receiver or processor, but not both.

AC Power Cord: Connect this plug to an AC outlet. If the outlet is controlled by a switch, make certain that it is in the ON position.

Composite Video Output: Connect this jack to the video input on a television or video projector, or to a video input on an A/V receiver or processor if you are using that type of device for video input switching.

S-Video Output: Connect this jack to the S-Video input on a television or video projector, or to an S-Video input on an A/V receiver or processor if you are using that type of device for S-Video input switching.

Component Video Outputs: These outputs carry the component video signals for connection to display monitors with component video inputs. For standard analog TV’s or projectors with inputs marked Y/Pr/Pb or Y/Cr/Cb, connect these outputs to the corresponding inputs. If you have a high-definition television or projector that is compatible with high scan rate progressive video, connect these jacks to the “HD Component” inputs. Note that if you are using a progressive scan display device, then ”Progressive” must be selected in the Video Set-up Menu in order to take advantage of the progressive scan circuitry. See page 22 for more information on progressive scan video.

IMPORTANT: These jacks should NOT be connected to standard composite video inputs.

SCART OUT (TV): If your TV has a SCART socket, you can connect a SCART cable to your TV and to your DMC 1000 Player for improved video quality. The SCART cable carries both audio and video. You can select Composite Video or RGB video for that SCART connector’s video output signal.

Remote Control Output: Connect this jack to the infrared (IR) input jack of another compatible Harman Kardon remote controlled product to have the built-in Remote Sensor on the DMC 1000 provide IR signals to other compatible products.

Remote Control Input: Connect the output of a remote infrared sensor, or the remote control output of another compatible Harman Kardon product, to this jack. This will enable the remote control to operate even when the front panel Remote Sensor on the DMC 1000 is blocked. This jack may also be used with compatible IR remote control-based automation systems.

Zone 2/3/4 Analog Audio Outputs: When the DMC 1000 is being used for multizone operation, connect these jacks to the separate Zone inputs on your multiroom controller or hub, or the amplifiers feeding the multizone system.

HDMI Output: If you have an HDMIcompatible receiver or video display device, connect this output to an HDMI input on the receiver or video display for the highest-quality uncompressed digital audio and video available. Even if your receiver is not capable of processing audio in the HDMI format, you may still experience the superb reproduction of HDMI video.

If your video display has a DVI input, you may use an optional HDMI-to-DVI cable or adapter for the connection to the display. In all cases, the video display must be HDCP-compliant in order to use the HDMI output. For best results, we do not recommend HDMI connections in excess of 3 meters..

The following audio formats may be output via the HDMI connection:

Audio CD – 2-Channel PCM or 5.1-channel DTS

DVD-Video – Up to 5.1-channel Dolby Digital or DTS
