Harman Kardon DVD 48 Owners Manual - Page 22

INSTALLATION Figure 10 (repeated) - Component, S- and Composite Video Outputs If your receiver is equipped with digital audio inputs, then select either a coaxial or optical digital audio input, and connect it to the corresponding output on the DVD 48. See Figure 12. This step also applies to a receiver that is only capable of HDMI switching and cannot process the audio portion of the HDMI signal. If your HDMI-capable receiver processes the HDMI audio, then do not make another digital audio connection. Even if you connected one of the DVD 48's digital audio outputs to your receiver, you may wish to connect the 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs to your TV (if it isn't HDMI-capable) so that you may watch a DVD without turning on your complete home theater system. If you make this connection, remember to also connect one of the DVD 48's video outputs directly to the TV. Step Two - Plug In AC Power Having made all of your wiring connections, it is now time to power up the DVD 48. Plug the AC Power cord into a working, unswitched AC outlet, and plug the female end into the receptacle on the DVD 48's rear panel. See Figure 14. Figure 12 - Coaxial and Optical Digital Audio Outputs If you wish to enjoy SACD discs in their native lossless format, connect the DVD 48's 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs to the corresponding 6-channel analog audio inputs on the receiver. This connection is necessary because the digital content is copy-protected and decoded by the DVD 48, with only the analog audio output available. If your receiver is not capable of processing the audio portion of an HDMI signal, use the 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs to enjoy DVD-Audio discs, or change the DVD Audio mode setting in the GENERAL SETUP menu to DVDVideo to listen to any Dolby Digital, DTS or PCM materials that may be available on the disc (check the disc's jacket). See Figure 13. Figure 14 - AC Input for Power Cord Step Three - Insert Batteries in Remote The DVD 48 remote control uses two AAA batteries (included). To remove the battery cover located on the back of the remote, firmly press the ridged area and slide the cover towards the bottom of the remote. Insert the batteries as shown in Figure 15, making sure to observe the correct polarity. Figure 13 - 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs NOTE: When using the 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs, remember to adjust the Analog Output setting in the AUDIO SETUP menu to Multichannel for full 5.1-channel playback. As explained in the Connections section, there may be several reasons for using the DVD 48's 2-channel Analog Audio Outputs in addition to the Digital Audio Outputs. If you wish to make recordings, to use the DVD 48 as an audio source for a multiroom system, to play 96kHz discs when your receiver is not capable of processing 96kHz audio, or if your receiver is not equipped with digital audio inputs, then connect the DVD 48's 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs to any pair of analog audio inputs on the receiver. See Figure 11. Figure 11 (repeated) - 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs 22 Figure 15 - Remote Battery Compartment When using the remote, remember to point the lens toward the front panel of the DVD 48. Make sure no objects, such as furniture, are blocking the remote's path. Bright lights, fluorescent lights and plasma video displays may interfere with the remote's functioning. The remote has a range of about 20 feet, depending on the lighting conditions. It may be used at an angle of up to 30 degrees to either side of the DVD 48. If the remote seems to operate intermittently, make sure the batteries have been inserted correctly, or replace all three batteries with fresh ones. Step Four - Turn On the DVD 48 Plugging the DVD 48 into AC power places it in Standby mode, which is indicated by the Power Indicator (next to the Standby/On Switch) turning amber. NOTE: When HDMI connections are used, turn on your television or video display before turning on the receiver and DVD 48.
