Repeat: Sets the repeat mode. (Repeat 1, Repeat Folder).

Random: Activates Random Playback when possible.

Time: Shows the elapsed time and remaining time of a song currently playing.

NOTE: iTunes allows you to set certain selections to always or never remember playback position, or to be skipped in Shuffle mode. The Digital Lounge’s settings cannot override these iTunes settings.

While a selection is playing, the song title, artist and album name, if available on the iPod, will scroll across the lower line in the front panel Message Display . The upper line will display the elapsed time of the track on the left, the play mode icon, and the time remaining on the right.

In addition, if a video display is connected to the Digital Lounge, a screen will appear to display information about the iPod’s status and the track. The top line will display the play mode icon, with the phrase “Now Playing” appearing to the right to remind you that you are viewing the status of the current track, as opposed to another menu screen. Below that the Digital Lounge displays the total number of tracks in the current play list on the right (all materials on the iPod are considered one of the play lists) with the number of the current track on the left. The song title, artist and album are displayed. At the bottom of the screen is a graphic bar indicating the current play position within the track, with the elapsed and remaining times appearing below the bar.

Surround Mode Chart

Dolby Digital: Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It pro- vides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated Low Frequency Effects channel.

DTS: Available only with digital input sources encoded with DTS data. Available on special High Definition, DVD, and audio-only discs, DTS provides up to five separate main audio chan- nels and a special dedicated low frequency channel.

Dolby Pro Logic II: Dolby Pro Logic II is the latest version of Dolby Laboratory's benchmark surround technology that creates or decodes full range, discrete left, center, right, right surround and left surround channels from matrix surround encoded programs and conventional stereo sources. The Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode is optimized for movie soundtracks that are record- ed with matrix surround, by creating true rear left and right signals. The ProLogic II Music mode should be used with musical selections, that are recorded with matrix surround or with normal stereo mode, creating discrete rear left and right signals.

Logic 7: Exclusive to Harman Kardon products, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either surround-encoded programs or conventional stereo material.

The Logic 7 Movie mode should be used with any source that contains Dolby Surround or simi- lar matrix encoding. Logic 7 Movie delivers increased center-channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement of sounds with fades and pans that are much smoother and more realistic than with former decoding techniques.

The Logic 7 Music mode should be used with analog or PCM stereo sources. Logic 7 Music enhances the listening experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes also direct low- frequency information to the subwoofer (if installed and configured) to deliver maximum bass impact.
