Notes

•The Power Requirement is: AC 230V, 50 Hz.

•Connecting to power other than the one listed above may damage the system or cause abnormal operation.

•Before connecting the AC power cord of this system to a wall outlet, connect the speakers and other component cables to the system.

•Connect the AC power cord of the active subwoofer.

•Connect the AC power cords of your TV and any optional components to a wall outlet.

Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the remaining steps are to program the system configuration memories.

First Turn On

You are now ready to power up the HS 150 Controller to begin final adjustments.

1.Plug the Power Cable ￿ into an unswitched AC outlet.

Note that the Power Indicator 1 will turn orange, indicating that the unit is in the Standby mode.

2.Remove the protective plastic film from the main front-panel lens. If left in place, the film may affect the performance of your remote control.

3.Install the three supplied AAA batteries in the remote as shown. Be certain to follow the (+) and (–) polarity indicators that are on the top of the battery compartment.

4.Turn the HS 150 on either by pressing the Power On/Off 1 or the Input Source Selectors 0 on the remote control.

Basic Play

Preparation

1.Switch the TV ON and select its video input connected to the HS Controller.

2.When you switch on the HS system controller, a Harman Kardon HS welcome image should appear on the screen. If that screen appears distorted or without color, change the appropriate settings at the Video Setting Submenu according to your TV set and to the connection used between the HS Controller and your TV.

3.If there is no picture at all, not even the Harman Kardon screen, check the setting of the video input used on your TV (most SCART inputs on TVs can be configured in the TV´s menu). If this doesn't work, connect your TV with different cables to the HS Controller, e.g. via Composite (yellow jacks) or S-Video cables, rather than SCART to view the setup menus until all appropriate ”Video menu” settings are made properly.

4.Insert a disc into the Slot Loader 6.

Hold the disc without touching either of its surfaces, position it with the side you wish to play facing down, align it with the guides, and place it in its proper position.

•3" (8 cm) discs or 5" (12 cm) discs can be used.

5.After the discs slides into the loader, it will start playing automatically.

•With most DVD’s, a Disc Menu appears on the screen. Select specific menu item by using ARROW 9 buttons on the remote, then press ENTER 6.

Disc Playback Features

Skipping tracks or titles/chapters

To move forward or backward through the tracks on a CD or the titles or chapters on a DVD, press Previous/Next EF.

Fast Motion Playback/Fast Search

1.To move forward or backward through the DVD or CD disc being played at fast speed, press Search HJ on the remote. Once one of these buttons is pressed, the fast search will continue until Play is pressed.

There are four fast-play speeds. Each press of the Search Buttons will cycle to the next speed in the following order: 2x, 4x, 16x, 100x, indicated by a number of arrow indicators on the right top of the screen.

2.Press PLAY G at any time to resume normal playback.

Note that there will be no audio playback during fast-forward or -reverse play of DVD discs. This is normal for DVD, as surround processors cannot process the digital audio streams during fast-play modes; audio will be heard during fast-play of conventional CD’s.

2.Each time you press one of the STEP (FWD or REV EF) buttons, the picture advances one frame in the selected direction.
