2 TABLE OF CONTENTS

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the Harman Kardon DVD 31. The DVD 31 is a state-of-the-art DVD player

that combines the best of music, movies and still image reproduction in one, compact, slim-line product. Along with playback of conventional DVD and CDAudio discs. The DVD 31 plays high-resolution audio in both multichannel and two-channel stereo from the latest DVD-Audio discs. The DVD 31 lets you enjoy files recorded on a computer’s optical drive in the MP3 or Windows Media discs, DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW discs and VCD programs, as well as still images recorded in the JPEG format.

Regardless of a disc’s format, the DVD 31’s video and audio playback is of the highest quality, thanks to pixel-by-pixel video processing, true 3/2 pull-down reconstruction of film-based programming, and precision video output DACs with simultaneous playback as 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. To further fine-tune the video output, a built-in test pattern may be used in conjunction with either the controls on your display, or the video output adjustments on the DVD 31.

In keeping with its 50-plus-year tradition as a leader in audio technology, Harman Kardon has loaded the DVD 31 with cutting-edge features. In particular, it provides bass management when the analog audio outputs are used for DVD-Audio playback, including speaker size, delay time and output level adjustment. In addition to both optical and coaxial digital outputs for Dolby* Digital, DTS outputs use audiophile-grade digital-to-analog converters for crystal-clear outputs.

The DVD 31’s exclusive graphical interface makes it easy to get started, simplifying setup and configuration adjustments. During playback, the on-screen menus not only allow a wide range of program options, they even permit simultaneous playback of JPEG digital still images with MP3 or Windows Media files recorded on the same disc. By programming the images to change with the music, you can easily create your own personal shows and presentations. Additional menu options provide a full range of parental control features to control which discs may be viewed by younger members of the household, as well as a complete status screen which provides the technical details on the disc being played.

DVD players are the fastest growing consumer electronics products ever brought to market, so this may be the first DVD player you own, or a replacement for an early-generation machine. In either case, while some of the DVD 31’s features and options resemble those of a CD player or your

formats, CD-R/RW

or PCM recordings, the analog

first DVD player, there are likely to be a number of functions that you are unfamiliar with. To ensure that you are able to take advantage of all the power and flexibility the DVD 31 has to offer, we encourage you to take a few minutes to review this manual before installing the DVD 31. That small investment of time will pay major dividends in the enjoyment you will receive by being able to use all the capabilities of your new DVD player.

If you have additional questions about this product, its installation or its operation that are not answered in this manual, please contact your dealer or installer, as he/she is your best source of local information. Support is also available through our Web site located at www.harmankardon.com.

INTRODUCTION 3

SAFETY INFORMATION

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

Your DVD 31 has been designed for use with 110–230-volt AC current and the plug is specifically designed for 120-volt applications. Connection to a line voltage other than that for which it is intended can create a safety and fire hazard and may damage the unit.

If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact your selling dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.

Do Not Use Extension Cords

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 center with cords 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 unit 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 this product. Opening the cabinet may present a shock hazard, and any modification to the product will void your guarantee. If water or any metal object such as a paper clip, wire or staple accidentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source immediately, and consult an authorized service center.

Installation Location

■ To ensure proper operation, and to avoid the

potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the product.

■ Make certain that proper space is provided both

above and below the unit 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.

■ Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted

surface.

■ Avoid moist or humid locations.

■ Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations,

or an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or heating equipment.

■ Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of

the unit, or place objects directly over them.

Cleaning

When the unit gets dirty, gently wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, first unplug the unit from its AC power source and then wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water, followed by a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide near the unit.

Unpacking

The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new receiver 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 unit 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 down to a more two-dimensional appearance. 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.

Remove Front-Panel Protective Film

In order to protect the lens covering the front panel of your new DVD 31, it is shipped from the factory covered by a protective plastic film. Before using the unit, remove this film by grabbing one corner and gently peeling back the plastic sheet. Note that the film must be removed for proper operation of the remote control.

Moving the Unit

Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect any interconnection cords with other components, and make certain that you disconnect the unit from the AC outlet.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid damage to the DVD 31 that may not be covered by the warranty, be certain that the disc is removed from the unit before it is moved. Once the DVD 31 is installed, a disc may be left in the unit when it is turned off, but the unit should NEVER be moved with a disc left in the disc tray.

The DVD 31 can play the following types of prerecorded discs:

DVD CD

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

The DVD 31 will also play most recordable discs, but we cannot guarantee complete playback compatibility of CD- or DVD-recordable discs due to the wide variation in recorders and blank discs.

NOTE: Playback of CD-R or CD-RW discs created on a computer requires proper formatting and finalization of the disc for audio playback. Some computers and/or software programs may not be capable of creating compatible discs.

The DVD 31 will NOT play the following:

• DVD discs with a Region Code other than 1

• DVD discs with PAL format video

• DVD-ROM data discs

• DVD-RAM discs

• SACD discs

• CD-I discs

• CD-G discs

• SVCD discs

• Photo CD discs

• Discs intended for use in video game consoles

NOTE: Due to differences in the formatting of certain discs, it is possible that some discs may include features that are not compatible with the DVD 31. Similarly, although the DVD 31 is capable of a wide range of features, not all discs include every capability of the DVD system. For example, although the DVD 31 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 31 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 of DTS audio discs requires connection to a processor or receiver with a DTS decoder.

• Playback capability for CD- or DVD-recordable discs may vary due to variations in the quality of the disc and the recorder used to create the disc.

CD-RW CD-R VCD

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

5" (12cm) disc 5" (12cm) disc

• The DVD 31 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 capability of the DVD 31 to play back a specific disc. As a result, we cannot guarantee complete compatibility with all encoders and versions of the codecs.

• Although the DVD 31 is not compatible with SACD discs, some SACD discs also contain a copy of the program material recorded in the standard CD-Audio (“Red Book”) format. The DVD will play back the standard CD side of the disc, regardless of the format of the rest of the disc.

FEATURES & DVD COMPATIBILITY 5

DVD TERMINOLOGY

Since the DVD players 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 player, 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 31.

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, making it almost square. Newer wide-aspectratio 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 31 to play back in either format, depending on the features recorded on a disc.

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. Press the Menu

Button

to see a listing of the chapters on a disc.

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 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-angle scenes.

Progressive Scan: Progressive scan playback takes the original video signal on the disc and formats it as a high-scan-rate output with twice the scan lines of conventional video images. Progressive scan outputs must be connected to “digital-ready” or high-definition video displays, regardless of the technology of the specific display (e.g., conventional direct-view television, front or rear projector, plasma display panel or LCD). In some cases, the displays may have special inputs for use with high-scan-rate inputs, and in others you may need to make adjustments to the display’s setup menus to make certain that the inputs used are configured for an “HD” signal. Although the progressive scan output uses the component video jacks, it is not compatible with older conventional analog video displays, even when they have component inputs.

your viewing session but wish to pick up where you left off. Pressing the Stop Button stop the machine in a traditional manner and, when the disc is played again, it will start from the beginning.

Title: For a DVD-Video disc, a title is defined as an entire movie or program. There may 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 or to include other special features. Press the Title Button the titles on a disc. When a disc has only one title, pressing the Title Button the chapters.

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 DVD 31 to the standard composite or S-Video inputs of a TV or recorder.

Group: Where DVD-Video discs contain multiple chapters that are organized into a “Title,” the individual tracks on a DVD-Audio disc may be combined into Groups. Depending on the way a disc’s producers create the program, there may be more than one Group on a disc. In some cases, the Groups contain different program material, while in others the Groups repeat the disc’s content in different formats, such as 5.1 audio or high-resolution stereo.

Reading: This is a message that you will see when you first press the Play Button the fact that the player must first examine the contents of the disc to see whether 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 31 works differently from what you are used to on CD players. On a traditional CD player, when you press the Stop button, the unit that – it stops playback. On a CD player, press the Start button again, the disc starts from the beginning. With the DVD 31, however, you have two options when playing DVD-Video discs. Pressing the
