The HS 100 is among the most versatile home
cinema systems available, incorporating an Audio
Video Controller, a DVD Audio player and a complete 5.1 loudspeaker system in one complete
system solution. In addition to Dolby Digital and
DTS decoding for digital sources, the Dolby Pro
Logic II mode for Matrix surround-encoded or
Stereo recordings is available for use with
sources such as CD,VCR,TV broadcasts and the
system's own FM tuner.
To enable you to get the maximum quality from
DVDs, the HS 100 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

optimum playback of NTSC and PAL DVD with
compatible high-definition display devices, the
HS 100 is equipped with progressive component
video outputs.
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.
Disc formats supported
by this player
The unit can play the following disc formats
(8 cm and 12 cm size):
• DVD-AUDIO

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. Similarly, although the DVD is capable of a
wide range of features, not all discs include every
capability of the DVD system. For example,
although the DVD 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 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,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.

4 INTRODUCTION / SAFETY INFORMATION
Introduction / Safety Information
of care and maintenance. Every component in
your system was in perfect working condition
when it left our factory. If you experience any
problems with the set-up or operation of this system, please review the Troubleshooting Guide at
the end of this manual before you contact your
authorized Harman Kardon dealer.
Important Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your HS 100 has been designed for use with
220-240-Volt AC current. 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 dealer
before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.
Do Not Use Extension Cords
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord
attached to your unit. 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
depot with a cord 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 a staple
accidentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it
from the AC power source immediately, and consult an authorized service station.
Installation Location
■ To assure 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.
Under some circumstances a fan may be
required.
■ Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted
surface.
■ Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold
locations, or an area that is exposed to direct
sunlight or heating equipment.
■ Avoid moist or humid locations.
■ Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the
top of the unit, or place objects directly over
them.
Cleaning
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean,
soft, dry cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft
cloth dampened with mild soapy water, then a
fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, aerosol
cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile
cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as
they may damage the finish of metal parts.Avoid
spraying insecticide near the unit.
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.
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. 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.
Copyright
Audio-visual material may consist of copyright
works which must not be recorded without the
permission of the owner of the copyright.
Please refer to relevant laws covering copyright
protection.
Copy protection
This DVD player supports Macrovision copy protection. On DVD discs that include a copy protection code, if the contents of the DVD disc are
copied using a VCR, the copy protection code
prevents the videotape copy from playing normally.
For Optimum Performance
The controller is a precision device that is constructed using extremely accurate technology.
Soiling or friction affecting the pickup lens or disc
drive can impair the image quality. In the worst
case, neither video nor audio will be played back.
To obtain optimum picture quality, the player
should be checked (cleaning and replacement of
some parts) every 1,000 hours. Note that this
period varies depending on the environment
(temperature, humidity, dust) in which the player
is used.
Do not attempt to clean the pickup lens
yourself.
Unpacking
Check that you have the following items:
• HS 100 Controller (1)
• HKTS 7/230 Loudspeaker System
• Remote control (1)
• AAA batteries (2)
• SCART A/V cable
• FM antenna (1)
• Owner’s Manual (1)
TERMINOLOGY 5
ENGLISH
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. But with DVD Audio, most of this
capacity is available for music only, without any
compression. This allows us to put the audio
information on the disc in the same quality as
the original mastering in the studio, in PCM up to
24 bit/192 kHz.
DVD-Audio's 24-bit system provides substantially
improved resolution of fine detail, because it
describes a specific point in the musical information using a 24-digit long string of one's and
zero's with 16,777,216 possible combinations,
while CD's primitive 16-bit system offers only
65,536 options.The 192 kHz frequency allows us
to have fast changes in music made audible,
which results in more dynamism, and also allows
us to obtain a higher bandwidth, up to 96 kHz.
Although that is far beyond the human audible
spectrum, it still improves the musical realism.
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.
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.
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: DVD offers progressive scan
video outputs for use with compatible high-resolution televisions and projectors. Before DVD, no
consumer medium could store, transmit or display
video with full resolution. To conserve bandwidth,
analog compression (interlacing) is employed: first
the odd-numbered lines of a frame are displayed,
followed by the even-numbered lines.The result is
that only half of the video image is drawn at one
time; the viewer's brain must reassemble the
complete image.This is acceptable, if the monitor
is not too large and if there is not too much
motion in the image. Large displays and fast-moving images reveal the limitations of this system.
Thanks to DVD's immense data capacity, images
are now stored intact (progressively), so that all
the lines in each frame (odd and even) are shown
at the same time. But because most TV's cannot
handle a progressive signal, all current DVD players generate an interlaced output for compatibility. Now, the Harman Kardon DVD is among the
select few DVD players with true progressive scan
video output (NTSC and PAL) for use with compatible TV's and CRT projectors and with all plasma, LCD and DLP display devices via the component video output. The result is 40% greater light
output than a conventional TV and a stunningly
detailed high definition image, along with an
almost complete absence of visible scanlines and
motion artifacts. Of course, traditional Y/Pr/Pb
component video, SCART, S-Video and composite
video outputs are included for use with conventional televisions and projectors.
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.
