Harman Kardon DVD 50 Owners Manual - Page 18

Setup Menu Remote Control Operation The DVD 50's remote control contains all of the codes needed to operate the product. In addition, it offers a built-in backlight that may be used to identify the remote buttons when the remote is used in low-level lighting conditions. A guide to the operation of the remote's functions is found in this manual on page 11. Batteries Before using the remote, install the AA batteries provided with the product by turning the remote over and moving the small latch on the bottom in the direction of the arrow. After the latch is loosened, flip the cover up and then remove it. Install the two batteries as shown here, being careful to observe the "+" and "-" polarity indications for proper placement of the batteries in their compartment. Replace the battery cover by first sliding the two teeth on the cover into their matching slots towards the top of the remote. Then, gently press down on the cover until the latch firmly snaps into place. The remote is now ready for operation. NOTE: When replacing batteries, it always a good idea to replace both at the same time. When the remote will not be used for an extended period of time, it is also a good idea to remove the batteries to avoid the possibility of damage due to corrosion. Batteries contain chemical substances and we recommend that you dispose of them properly and in compliance with any local regulations. Notes on Remote Control Operational Range s The DVD 50's remote will operate up to a range of about 23 feet (7m) from the Remote Sensor ^ in a range of about 30 degrees to each side of the unit, as shown in the diagram. 18 SETUP MENU / -±, RESUME RANDOM REPEAT 1ALL DISC A - B PROG.

Notes on Batteries for the DVD 50 Remote s The batteries normally last for about one year although this depends on how often, and for what operations, the remote control is used. s If the backlight does not light, or if the remote control unit fails to work even when it is operated near the player, replace the batteries. When replacing the batteries, do not mix old and new batteries; always change both cells at the same time. s Always dispose of used batteries in an environmentally safe manner and in compliance with any local regulations. s Do not use rechargeable (Ni-Cd) batteries and do not attempt to recharge, short-circuit or disassemble the batteries. s If the remote control unit is not going to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries. Otherwise, electrolyte may leak which may lead to malfunctions as well as damage to the remote, which is not covered by the warranty. s Should any electrolyte leak from the batteries inside the remote control unit, wipe it away but avoid any contact. If any electrolyte should come into contact with your skin, wash it off thoroughly with water. System Defaults The final step of the installation is to establish the system's defaults. The factory settings for the unit will accommodate most requirements, so it is not essential that they be changed. If you wish to immediately play a disc, proceed to page 26. However, it is helpful to take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with these settings, as they may require change from time to time. Before using the DVD 50 for the first time, make certain that the unit is properly connected to any audio/video components it will be used with, as described on the previous pages. When the installation is done, make certain that the batteries are properly installed in the remote and that the unit is plugged into an AC power source. The first step in checking or changing the system defaults is to access the Setup Menu. First, make certain that the DVD 50 is properly connected to a video display, and that power is connected. For this process, however, you do not need to load any discs into the unit. In order to proceed with the DVD 50's setup, first turn on your television or video display, along with any AV receiver or surround processor that is used in conjunction with the DVD 50. Make certain that those devices are set to the correct audio and video inputs for use with the DVD 50. If you have not already done so, plug the AC Power Cord ª into a wall output or surge protector/power strip. When the power is first connected to the DVD 50, the front panel Information Display $ will welcome you with a HELLO DVD 50 message and the DVD 50 screen will appear in your video display. The DVD 50 will then attempt to see whether there are any discs in the machine, even though this is the first time it is being used. Since there are no discs in the player, a NO DISC message will appear in both the on screen display and in the Information Display, and the disc numbers inside the Disc Number Indicators B will go out as each position in the loading tray is examined and found to be empty. It is not necessary to load any discs in the machine at this time to start the setup process. To access the Setup Menu, press the Menu Button 28 on the remote. The Setup Menu will appear on the video display screen as shown in Figure 1. The left side of the screen will show the various options, and the box on the right side of the screen will show the current defaults.
