2 TABLE OF CONTENTS
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, RS232-based control for popular home automation
systems, custom-programmed home network
control and even wireless control through a
Windows Mobile®-based PDA when an optional
wireless bridge is connected.
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 3
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.
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 harddisc 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. When connected to other properly programmed devices in
the home using the Network Jack or the RS-232
Port, the Media Library may be used as a server,
allowing you to enjoy content throughout your
home.
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
stream audio simultaneously. Multizone control is
usually set up by the custom installer, using
either control devices connected to a home network, or devices connected to the DMC 1000’s
RS-232 port.
Server: A server is a computer device with a
large amount of storage that delivers content to
other devices. The DMC 1000 may be accessed
as a server from a home network when appropriate devices are connected. When placed in Server
Mode, the DMC 1000 may still be used as a server, even though its four zones are inactive.
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-toDVI 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 highresolution (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 sub-sections
programmed into a single title on a disc.
Chapters may be compared to the individual
tracks on an audio CD.
4 TERMINOLOGY
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
Audio) is
its 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.

6 FEATURES
Features
Playback capability for CD-R, CD-RW, WMA,
JPEG, MP3, VCD/SVCD, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVDRW and DVD+RW discs may vary due to
variations in the quality of the disc and the
recorder used to create the disc.
The DMC 1000 is compatible with most discs
recorded with files encoded using MP3 or
Windows Media 8, 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 DMC 1000’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 DMC 1000 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

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.
