Basic Information

About This Manual

The types of functions and operations that can be used for a particular disc vary depending on the features of that disc. In some cases, these functions and operations may differ from the descriptions given in this manual. In this event, follow the instructions given on the screen. This manual only covers basic disc operations.

For some operations, the icon may appear on the screen. This indicates that the operation described in this manual is not available on the disc in the player.

On-screen and front panel display illustrations in this manual are purely for the purposes of explanation. The actual displays may differ slightly from these illustrations.

Disc handling precautions

To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface.

Do not stick paper or tape on the disc. If there is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc, remove the glue completely before using the disc.

Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.

After playing, store the disc in its case.

Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing utensils.

Be careful not to drop or bend the disc.

Disc cleaning precautions

Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

Disc installing precautions

Do not install more than 1 disc on disc tray.

Do not place the disc on the tray up-side down.

Do not try to close the disc tray when the disc is not installed and centered properly.

Regional Coding

DVD players and discs are designed with regional restrictions which dictate the regions in which a disc can be played. If the region number on the disc you want to play does not match the region number of your DVD player, you will not be able to play the disc. The message “REGION ERR” will appear in the front panel display.

The region code of this player is indicated on the rear and on the external packaging.

Important basic principles for use

The LCD meets the highest quality requirements and has been checked for pixel defects. Despite taking the greatest care during production of these units, for technological reasons it cannot be excluded absolutely that there are some pixels with defects.

We request your understanding for the fact that such defects, provided that they are within the limits specified by the standard, cannot be con- sidered to be as an appliance defect in the terms of the warranty.

If used for a long period of time as a PC screen, shadows can occur on the screen as with any other TV set. This phenomenon with LCD screens can be reduced by heeding the following points:

do not display a still picture for a long period of time

use your display in full screen format (16:9)

activate the screen saver

display moving images as far as possible

always switch off the display when it is not being used

reduce the contrast and brightness as much as possible.

Unfavourable conditions can cause your screen to hum. The humming generally comes from the mains voltage supply and can occur through the connection of different earth conductors. You can provide a remedy by putting a so-called sheath current filter between the incoming aerial lead and the aerial input socket on the display. Sheath-type current filters are offered in the form of a small adaptor plug in the retail trade.

If your display is connected to an external aerial, the latter must be earthed as protection against electric shocks and static charging. The earthing must comply with the valid regulations.

If using it as a PC screen, we recommend for ergonomic reasons that you avoid the use of red and blue fonts or symbols against dark back- grounds.

To avoid aching eyes and obtain an optimized viewing distance, the distance from the unit should be five to six times the display’s diagonal dimension. In your television room it should be so light that you could also read. Too little light strains the eyes due to the alternation between light and dark on the display.

Cleaning the Screen

Before you start any cleaning, turn off the unit and disconnect the mains plug from the plug outlet.

Cleaning the screen

The Harman Kardon Digital Lounge screens come with a special cleening kit that allows for proper cleaning without damaging the screen or its high gloss finish. Use the mild detergent and soft cloth only. Do not use any abrasives!

Cleaning the housing

The cleaning kit can also be used to clean the housing of the screen.

Do not use any chemical solvents or cleaning agents for cleaning the housing, otherwise the surface of the unit could get damaged.

If you clean the surface of the housing with a wet cloth, drops of water can get inside the unit, which will cause malfunctions. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment for cleaning the ventilating openings.
