INTRODUCTION & TERMINOLOGY 3
Introduction & Terminology
Thank you for choosing the Harman
Kardon DVD 21. The DVD 21 is a multipurpose
DVD player, capable of playing both DVD discs
and conventional CD audio discs with the highest
fidelity and access to future software upgrades
via the Internet. Along with conventional DVD
and CD audio discs, the DVD 21 is also compatible with MP3, CD-R and CD-RW as well as VCD
discs.To enable you to get the maximum quality
from DVDs, the DVD 21 is equipped with the latest in design techniques, including advanced 10bit 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.
In addition, Harman Kardon’s audio heritage
continues into the digital video era with Wolfson
DACs to ensure that the audio quality matches
the superb video. Of course, both coaxial and
optical digital audio outputs are available for
direct connection to A/V receivers or processors
so that you may take advantage of Dolby Digital*
and DTS
®
soundtracks.When playing audio CDs,
the playback quality is state-of-the-art, matching
that of the finest players available.
A wide range of programming features makes it
easy to program an evening’s worth of entertainment. When playing DVDs, easy-to-understand
on-screen menus and icons make it simple to
change languages, soundtracks, subtitles or
aspect ratio, while a parental-lock function
enables you to control which discs may be
viewed by younger members of the household.
DVD players are among the fastest growing consumer electronics products ever brought to market, but this may, nevertheless, be the first DVD
player you’ve owned. Although many of the features of the DVD 21 resemble those of standard
CD players, there are a number of functions that
you may be unfamiliar with. To ensure that you
are able to take advantage of all the power and
flexibility the DVD 21 has to offer, we encourage
you to review this manual. That small investment
of your time will pay major dividends in the
enjoyment you will get from proper use of the
DVD 21.
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 information.
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 21.
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 21 to play back
in either format, depending on the features
recorded on a disc. (For details about TV Aspect
Ratio see page 17).
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.Press the MENU button on
the remote to see the Menu of the DVD where
you can find all titles available on the DVD or all
chapters, if the disc has only one title.
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.
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.
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 21 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 21, 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.

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 21. Similarly, although the DVD 21
is capable of a wide range of features, not all
discs include every capability of the DVD system.
For example, although the DVD 21 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 21 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, CD-RW, 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.
Upgradeability via Internet
The ”firmware” controlling the functionality of
the Harman Kardon DVD 21 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. All you have to do is
create a CD-R with the data and insert it in the
DVD 21 for an automatic upgrade.

■ 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
S-video cable 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 player
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.

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
