Harman-Kardon DMC 1000 manual Installation, Step One Placement, Step Four Connect Media Sources

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT NOTE: All components, including the DMC 1000, should be turned off and unplugged from AC power before beginning installation. Do not plug any components back in until after all connections are completed.

Step One – Placement

Due to the heat generated by other system components, place the DMC 1000 on its own shelf rather than stacking it directly on another component. We do not recommend stacking other components on top of the DMC 1000.

The DMC 1000 may be placed in a rack. See the Technical Specifications for dimensions.

Step Two – Connect the DMC 1000 to an A/V Receiver or Processor (Preferred)

If the receiver is HDMI-capable and HDCP-compliant, connect the HDMI Output to the receiver’s HDMI Input to carry both audio and video. See Figure 1.

Figure 1 – HDMI Output

If the receiver has only a DVI input, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter, and make a separate audio connection.

If the receiver does not have an HDMI or DVI input, select one video connection, in order of preference: component video, S-video or composite video. See Figure 2.

Figure 2 – Component, S- and Composite Video Outputs

For non-HDMI products, a separate audio connection is also required. If available, connect either the Optical or Coaxial Digital Audio Output to the corresponding input on the receiver. See Figure 3.

Figure 3 – Coaxial and Optical Digital Audio Outputs

The DMC 1000 is capable of outputting up to four separate analog audio streams for use in multizone systems. Zone 1 is used for the main listening room, and includes six channels. Connect the Zone 1 Analog Audio Outputs to a receiver that does not have an available digital audio input. If digital audio connections have been made to the receiver, make an additional connection from the FL and FR jacks to the receiver to monitor an analog source connected to the Auxiliary Inputs during recording.

See Figure 4.

Skip to Step Four.

Step Three – Connect the DMC 1000 Directly to a Television (Optional)

If the television is HDMI-capable and HDCP-compliant, connect the HDMI Output to the TV’s HDMI Input to carry both audio and video. See Figure 1.

If the TV has only a DVI input, use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter, and make a separate audio connection. The TV must be HDCP-compliant.

If the television does not have an HDMI or DVI input, select one video connection, in order of preference: component video, S-video or composite video. See Figure 2.

For non-HDMI TVs, a separate audio connection is also required. Although some TVs may be equipped with an optical or coaxial digital audio connection, most likely you will use a 2-channel analog connection. Connect the Zone 1 FL and FR audio output jacks shown in Figure 4 to the corresponding inputs on the TV.

Step Four – Connect Media Sources

•Auxiliary Analog Audio Inputs (Figure 5): Connect the line-level or “Tape” outputs of an analog device to these inputs. Do not connect a turntable without a phono preamp. Contact the Harman Kardon Parts Department to purchase one.

•The Bridge (Figure 6): Connect Harman Kardon’s The Bridge (sold separately) here to enjoy content stored on a compatible iPod (not included).

•USB Devices (Figures 7 and 8): Connect a compatible USB client device to either the front- or rear-panel USB Port. The front-panel port is located behind the dropdown door.
