Thank you for choosing Harman Kardon!

For more than fifty years, Harman Kardon has been a leader not only in the control and amplification of sound and images with our receiver and amplifier products, but also with breakthrough source playback equipment, from innovative turntable/stereo receiver combinations and the first audio cassette decks with Dolby® Type B Noise Reduction, to the first dual-well CD recorder with 4x dubbing and today’s state-of-the-art DVD players.

The DMC 1000 Digital Media Center continues Harman Kardon’s tradition of combining technology with ease of use, elegantly designed to deliver a truly unique product.

The DMC 1000 merges a high-end DVD player, including upscaling to 1080p with an HDMI™ output, with a media server capable of storing up to 60,000 songs on its 250Gb hard drive. Simultaneous playback of different tracks is possible in up to four zones, or you may link any or all of the zones to each other.

Thanks to Gracenote® MusicID,® * all content recorded from a CD to the DMC 1000’s hard drive is identified by album name, artist and genre, with additional information to show the title of each track. Even better, for most popular albums, the DMC 1000 will display the cover art when connected to the Internet. The content is automatically organized by the identification fields and by the cover, and you may select it and program playlists to suit any mood or occasion. The graphical presentation of system content is available in both high-definition and standard-definition outputs, for crisp, easy-to-read displays on any video screen.

In addition to DVD and CD playback, the DMC 1000 offers audio and still-image playback from both solid-state media cards and USB drives. You can even record analog sources such as your old tapes, cassettes and even vinyl records (with an optional, external phono preamp) to store virtually any audio content for instant playback. And the DMC 1000 allows content to be transferred from the hard drive to the memory cards or a USB drive, or even a recordable CD. This flexibility lets you take your music with you in a wide range of portable players, or in your car.

Additional features of the DMC 1000 include iPod audio playback through Harman Kardon’s optional The Bridge accessory, with charging and naviga- tion available to any zone in your system. System control options include the unit’s backlit remote, optional external IR sensor/receivers, RS-232-based control for popular home automation systems, custom-programmed home network control and even wireless control through a Windows Mobile®-based PDA when an optional wireless bridge is connected.
