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

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.

AUDIO/VIDEO
Disc Formats Supported by This Player
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
B
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.

will
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

may show a list of
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
Stop Button
it actually puts the unit in the Resume mode. This
means that you can turn the machine off and, when
you press the Play Button
disc will resume or continue from the point on the disc
