Setup and Connections

Before connecting your DMC 1000, please:

■Ensure that the power switch of this unit and other equipment to be connected is set to off before commencing connection.

■Do not block ventilation holes of any of the equipment and arrange them so that air can circulate freely.

■Read through the instructions before connecting other equipment.

■Ensure that you observe the color coding when connecting audio and video cables.

STEP ONE – Placement

Due to the heat generated by other system com- ponents, place the DMC 1000 on its own shelf rather than stacking it directly on another com- ponent. We do not recommend stacking other components on top of the DMC 1000.

STEP TWO – Connect the DMC 1000 to an A/V Receiver or Processor (Preferred)

If the receiver is HDMI-capable and HDCP-com- pliant, connect the HDMI Output to the receiver’s HDMI Input to carry both audio and video.

If the receiver has only a DVI input, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter, and make a separate audio connection.

If the receiver does not have an HDMI or DVI input, select one video connection, in order of

preference: component video , S-video	or
composite video .

For non-HDMI products, a separate audio conne- ction is also required. If available, connect either

the Optical or Coaxial Digital Audio Output to the corresponding input on the receiver.

The DMC 1000 is capable of outputting up to four separate analog audio streams for use in multizone systems. Zone 1 is used for the main listening room, and includes six channels. Connect the Zone 1 Analog Audio Outputs to a receiver that does not have an available digital audio input. If digital audio connections have been made to the receiver, make an additional connection from the FL and FR jacks to the receiver to monitor an analog source connected to the Auxiliary Inputs during recording.

STEP THREE – Connect Media Sources

• Auxiliary Analog Audio Inputs : Connect the line-level or “Tape” outputs of an analog device to these inputs. Do not connect a turntable without a phono preamp. Contact the Harman Kardon Parts Department to pur- chase one.

• The Bridge	: Connect Harman Kardon’s The
Bridge (sold separately) here to enjoy content
stored on a compatible iPod (not included).
• USB Devices	: Connect a compatible USB

client device to either the front- or rear-panel USB Port. The front-panel port is located behind the dropdown door.

STEP FOUR – Connect the DMC 1000 to a Multizone System (Optional)

The DMC 1000 may be used with up to four zones simultaneously, with any or all zones linked to each other. Zones 2, 3 and 4 are used to distribute 2-channel audio to other locations.

Zone 1 is the main listening area. The sys- tem may be controlled remotely using the Remote IR Input, the RS-232 Port or a network connection.

Connect the Analog Audio Outputs for each zone in the system to a receiver, processor, multi- zone controller or amplifier.

Connect the RS-232 Port to a compatible control device using a standard null modem cable or adapter.

STEP FIVE – Connect the Remote IR Input and Output

Connect the DMC 1000’s Remote IR Input

to the compatible IR output of another product, or to an IR receiver or controller, such as the optional Harman Kardon HE 1000. When daisy- chaining devices to allow for remote control up and down the chain, connect the Remote IR Output to the next product’s IR input. The DMC 1000 is compatible with “stripped carrier” IR signals.

STEP SIX – Network Connection

Connect the Network Jack to a router or Ethernet-compatible controller. The network con- nection is used by Gracenote MusicID

to obtain cover art and database updates via the Internet. When the Network connection is not used, Gracenote MusicID obtains the tags from a database stored internally on the DMC 1000’s hard-disc drive.To use the DMC 1000 as a server on a home network, use the Setup menu to look up the settings automatically generated when the DMC 1000 is booted, and program your home network devices accordingly.

STEP SEVEN – Plug In AC Power

To avoid possible damage from a transient power surge at plug-in, switch the Master Power Switch to the circle position (0). Plug the female end of the AC Power cord into the receptacle, and the male end into an unswitched AC outlet. Due to the DMC 1000’s power requirements, do not plug it into an accessory outlet on another component.

Connecting to a TV Only (Optional)

When using the DMC 1000 with a television but no audio receiver or processor, connect it as follows. Make the Analog Audio Connection

and one of the Video Connections

(Composite Video	, S-Video ,
Component Video	). If your television or

video display is HDMI-capable, you only need to make the HDMI connection, as it handles both audio and video. Remember to plug in the power cord.
