System: The System option allows you to set the following system features:

Front Panel Brightness: This option sets the brightness of the BDS receiver’s information display.

Screen Saver: To prevent image burn-in, we recommended activating the Screen Saver when using the BDS receiver with a CRT or plasma TV.

Auto Power Off: This option sets the amount of time the BDS receiver remains on while idle until it automatically enters the Standby mode.

One Touch Play: When this option is set to “On,” pressing the Play button on the BDS receiver when a Blu-ray Disc or DVD is inserted will automatically turn a connected TV on and switch it to the input connector where the BDS receiver is connected. NOTE: The TV must support HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).

One Touch Standby: When this option is set to “On,” putting a connected TV into the standby mode will automatically place the BDS receiver into the standby mode. NOTE: The TV must support HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).

System Upgrade: Select this option when you want to install a firmware upgrade for your BDS receiver that you’ve downloaded from a Harman Kardon Web site or other Harman Kardon source.

Setup Wizard: This option activates the receiver’s Setup Wizard (see Setup Wizard, on page 15).

BD-Live Storage: When you select the BD-Live features from a disc’s menu, you may be able to download additional content or other information via the Internet (through the BDS receiver’s Network connection) and onto a memory device inserted into the receiver’s USB port. This option lets you see how much space is available on the memory device, and allows you to delete previously-stored BD-Live content from the device. See BD-Live Interactivity, on page 22, for details.

Restore Defaults: This option restores the receiver to its factory-default setting values.

Note: This procedure deletes all preset FM stations and restores the parental-control password back to the factory default of 0000.

Language: This setting lets you set the language for the disc player and the disc menus, the preferred audio language and the preferred subtitle language.

NOTE: If the selected language is not available on the particular disc being played, use the disc’s menu to set the language from those available on the disc.

Playback: The Playback option allows you to set the following disc playback features:

Show Angle Icon: This option lets you select whether or not the angle icon will automatically be displayed when a disc with multiple camera angles is played.

Auto Play: This option lets you select whether discs will automatically begin playing when they are inserted into the BDS receiver’s disc player.

Show PIP Icon: This option lets you select whether or not the picture-in-picture (PIP) icon will automatically be displayed when a Blu-ray Disc recording with PIP content is played.

Secondary Audio Icon: This option lets you select whether or not the Secondary Audio Icon will automatically be displayed when a Blu-ray Disc recording with secondary audio content is played.

Disc Resume: This option lets you select whether or not a disc that has been ejected while playing will resume play from that location when it is re-inserted into the receiver’s disc player.

DivX® VOD DRM: This option displays your receiver’s DivX registration information.

Parental Control: This option lets you set the receiver’s parental-control password and

the level of parental control you want active. NOTE: The default password is 0000.

Network: This option allows you to set the following network features:

Information: This displays your network’s IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway and DNS addresses.

Test Connection: This option tests for a proper network connection to the BDS receiver.

IP Configuration: This option lets you enter your network settings, either automatically or manually. Unless your network administrator instructs you otherwise, you should use the Auto option.

BD-Live Connection: This option lets you set the receiver’s BD-Live connection preferences. “Always Allow” allows downloading of BD-Live content whenever a disc with BD-Live content is played. “Limit” allows downloading only if the disc is officially BD-Live certified. “Prohibited” does not allow any BD-Live access.

Proxy Setting: “Enabled” allows you to select and set the proxy host and proxy port if your network requires a proxy setting. “Disabled” bypasses any Proxy Host and Proxy Port settings and prevents their selection. This option is for advanced users only and in most cases should be left set to “Disabled.”
