USB MENU
The Harman Kardon Digital Lounge systems are among the first to allow direct playback of com- patible files from portable USB devices. Two USB On-The-Go inputs are available, one on the right side of the product (USB 1) and one on the rear panel (USB 2).
Connect your USB thumb drive or portable hard disk, to either of the side or rear panel USB Inputs 3 . If you have more than two devices that you would like to connect at the same time, you can use a standard USB-hub with an external power supply, to which you can connect up to 16 portable USB devices.
1.Press the USB 1 or USB 2 K buttons on the remote control to turn the DVD Receiver on. In order to browse through your collection or to
simply watch images stored on the drives, you can temporarily switch on your TV screen. If the screen is not already on, switch it on by pressing the Screen Power On Button , if the receiver's OSD is not visible press the USB Button K again.
2.The TV monitor will show the below screen, allowing you to select which of the file types available on the device you would like to dis- play and play. Showing different file types at the same time like MP3 and JPEG is possible.
3.Move the cursor to the different file types, and press ENTER to select or deselect the request- ed file types. Once done, move the cursor to DONE, and press ENTER.

Important Notes:
•Via USB only the following files can be listed and played: MP3 or WMA music, JPEG pictures, DivX or XviD movie files. Normal MPEG2 movies, MPEG1, VCD/SVCD or MJPEG movie files will not be played.
•Only FAT32 formated Hard Drives can be con- nected to USB. When your HD is preformatted with NTFS, it must be re-formated with FAT32 before any files are stored onto it. Note that the FORMAT-function of Windows XP can cre- ate FAT32-partitions with max. 32 GB only. To use a bigger HD with FAT32, specific tools are needed (e.g. Norton Partition Magic or Acronis Partition Expert). Please ask your Dealer to get more information about those specific programs.
•With USB as source, programming and random functions are not available.
In case several USB devices are connected, all will be shown in the same USB Menu. To differ- entiate the drives, they will be shown as 1 and 2. USB drives can have more than one partition. If that is the case, the different partitions will be shown as 1a, 1b, 1c etc.
The USB Menu contains the following settings. Follow the explanations in the Upper Menu Line on the bottom of your screen to change the set- tings.
Audio: Shows the audio track that is currently playing. Options are shown on both Menu Lines on the bottom of the screen.
Playlist: Fixed to Discs's Order (programming not possible with USB).
Repeat: Sets the repeat mode. (Repeat All, Repeat Folder).
Random: Fixed to Off, Random play not possible with USB.
Picture: Selects the interval between the current picture on the screen and the next one.
In the USB Menu, the chapter, track or picture currently playing will be marked with an arrow symbol in front of the Track (MP3, WMA), Movie (DivX, XviD) or Picture (JPEG). Tracks and pictures can be selected from this list at any time by mov- ing the cursor to the desired track or file and pressing ENTER 6 to confirm.
The top part of this screen can be de-activated to show the complete Track list on the screen. To de-activate, move the cursor to the upper INFO Submenu on the left side of the screen. Press ENTER 6 until the icon is highlighted in dark blue and the full Track list is visible on the screen. In the same way the Disc list can be removed from the screen by deactivating the PROGRAM LIST Submenu.
You will be able to use the THUMBNAIL function to quickly and easily search for image files. Any JPEG image file that has been created on the computer with a thumbnail image included, will show up on the right top of the screen when scrolling though the contents list. The Thumbnail function can be activated by moving the cursor to the Thumbnail icon on the left and pressing ENTER 6 until the icon is lit light blue.
When the DVD receiver is in play mode, pressing the PLAY button on the remote control will high- light the track being played.
If you have a USB device that contains both music files (MP3, WMA) and JPEG images, you can choose to run these simultaneously, mixing the MP3 or WMA audio with your own images. The time interval can be chosen in the Picture Setting.
With such devices, you can also either listen to the MP3 or WMA audio or watch the JPEG files only. In order to do so, click in stop mode on the LIST MUSIC FILES, LIST PICTURES or LIST MOVIES icons on the left part of the screen to select or deselect the desired format.
