The unit can play discs bearing any of the fol­lowing logos:

DVD CD

3"(8 cm) disc 3"(8 cm) disc
5"(12 cm) disc 5"(12 cm) disc

CD-RW CD-R VCD

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 20. Similarly, although the DVD 20
is capable of a wide range of features, not all
discs include every capability of the DVD system.
For example, although the DVD 20 is compatible
with multi-angle discs, that feature is only possi­ble when the disc is specially encoded for multi­ple-angle play. In addition, the DVD 20 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.

■ Playback capability for CD-R and CD-RW
discs may vary due to variations in the quality
of the disc and the recorder used to create
the disc.

§

SCART IN (AUX): If an external playback
unit has a SCART socket, you can connect a
SCART cable to it and to your DVD Player. The
SCART cable carries both audio and video sig­nals of the external unit. These signals will be
routed through the SCART connector of the DVD
to the TV automatically when the DVD player is
turned off (in Standby) and the external unit
plays.

¶

SCART OUT (TV): If your TV has a SCART
socket, you can connect a SCART cable to your
TV and to your DVD Player for improved video
quality.The SCART cable carries both audio and
video.You can select Video (composite),
S-Video and RGB video for that SCART
connector’s video output signal (see page 19).
Your DVD 20 is equipped with two SCART con­nectors, one for direct connection to the TV, the
second for throughput of VCR (playback only) or
any other playback video source to a TV with
only one SCART input.

•

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 DVD 20 provide IR signals to other compati­ble products.

ª

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

blocked.This jack may also be used with com­patible IR remote control-based automation sys­tems.

‚

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.

Note: You’ll find more details about all
Audio/Video connections under Setup and
Connections on the following pages.

Rear Panel Connections

10 SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

Setup and Connections

■ Ensure that the power switch of this unit and
other equipment to be connected is set to off
before commencing connection.

■ Do not block ventilation holes of any of the
equipment and arrange them so that air can
circulate freely.

■ Read through the instructions before connect­ing other equipment.

■ Ensure that you observe the color coding
when connecting audio and video cables.

Notes:

■ The Video output (yellow) combines the com­plete video signal (composite) and sends it to
the TV (or to the AV Receiver) by one line
only. Use the Video output, when your TV set
is equipped with a Video input jack only.

■ The S (separate) video output connector sepa­rates the color (C) and luminance (Y) signals
before transmitting them to the TV set in
order to achieve a sharper picture. Use the S­video cable (optional) when connecting the
player to a TV equipped with an S-video input

for improved picture clarity. Never connect
both outputs,Video and S-Video, to your TV
or AV Receiver, only one of them.

■ Most European TV´s are equipped with SCART
connectors rather than with a normal video
input (yellow cinch). In that case the SCART
connection should be used, providing the
audio signal too, (see page 12). Separate ana­log audio connections to TV are needed only
if your TV is connected to the video or S-video
output.

■ When the audio signal is to be fed to a stereo
or Pro Logic amplifier/decoder or receiver
rather than to the TV, connect the Audio Out
jacks to any normal audio input on your
amplifier/decoder/receiver. The DVD 20 will
”downmix” Dolby Digital recordings to Pro
Logic, available on these connectors, all ana­log surround or stereo signals will be fed to
them directly.
You can also select the audio and video sig­nals of all your video devices with your AV
Receiver/Amplifier. For more information see
”Note” on next page.

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS 11

Setup and Connections

When DVD´s encoded in Dolby Digital or DTS are
played, the Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream is out­put from the player’s OPTICAL or COAXIAL digi­tal audio output. When the player is connected
to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy
theater-quality audio in your home. An optical
digital audio cable or coaxial audio cable (both
optional) is required for these connections, as
shown below. Only one connection is needed,
not both at the same time.

■ Note: With multiple video sources, your
Audio/Video device can be used for selecting
the video signal and routing it to the TV.
Connect the video or S-video output of the
DVD 20 (whatever is provided with your
device) to the video or S-video input on your
device and the video/S-video output of this
device to your TV. For more details, see the
manual of your Audio/Video amplifier/receiver.

■ Note for Analog Audio: The connection
from Audio Out to the TV is optional only.
Normally you´ll hear the sound from your AV­system´s speakers, so the TV volume should
be completely turned down. If you plan to use
your DVD20 also without having to turn on
your complete system, this connection must
exist, then you can turn up the TV´s volume as
needed.

Setup and Connections

Important Notes on SCART and RGB
format:

■ Your DVD 20 is equipped with two SCART
connectors, one for direct connection to the
TV, the second (AUX) for throughput of VCR
or any other video source to a TV with only
one SCART input.The signal from this video
source will be routed through the SCART con­nector of the DVD to the TV automatically
when the unit plays (composite video only)
and the DVD 20 is turned off (to Standby, not
completely).

■ Both SCART connectors provide the video
signal as well as audio (stereo L/R) signals.

■ The SCART connector for the TV provides the
composite video signal, the S-Video signal or
the direct RGB signal, delivering the best
video performance possible, all selectable in
the Setup menu. To view RGB video on your
TV, the RGB compatible SCART connector on
the TV must be used and the DVD 20´s TV
SCART connector must be set to "RGB" (see
page 19).
Note that with RGB video the color intensity
cannot be adjusted with most TVs.

■ When the RGB video signal is used, DVD´s
recorded with the NTSC format (with regional
code 0 or 2) can be viewed even on non­NTSC compatible TVs.

Remote Control and Headphones

Battery installation

Insert the batteries supplied while observing the
correct (+) and (–) polarities.

Service life of batteries

■ The batteries normally last for about one year,
although this depends on how often, and for
what operations, the remote control is used.

■ If the remote control unit fails to work even
when it is operated near the player, replace
the batteries.

■ Use size “AA” batteries.

Notes:

■ Do not attempt to recharge, short-circuit, dis­assemble, heat or throw the batteries into
fire.

■ Do not drop, step on or otherwise impact the
remote control unit. This may damage the
parts or lead to malfunction.

■ Do not mix old and new batteries.

■ Wipe away any leakage inside the remote

control unit, and install new batteries.

■ If leakage should come into contact with
parts of your body, wash it off thoroughly
with water.

■ Batteries contain chemical substances and we
recommend that you dispose of them properly
and in compliance with any local regulations.
Do not simply throw them away but return to
your dealer or special battery disposal centers.

Remote control operation range

Point the remote control unit from no more than
about 7 m from the remote control sensor and
within about 60 degrees of the front of the unit.

■ The operating distance may vary according to
the brightness of the room.

Notes:

■ Do not point bright lights at the remote con­trol sensor.

■ Do not place objects between the remote
control unit and the remote control sensor.

■ Do not use this remote control unit while
simultaneously operating the remote control
