Surround Mode Chart

Dolby Digital: Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides 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 DVD, LD and audio-only discs, DTS provides up to five separate main audio channels 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 recorded with matrix surround, by creating true rear left, center 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. The Dolby Pro Logic Game mode ensures that special effects are routed to the surround channels, while deliv- ering their full impact using the subwoofer, thus fully immersing the game player in the universe of the video game.

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 similar 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.

Connect your USB thumb drive or portable hard disk, to either of the side or rear panel USB Inputs 3￿.

In case several USB devices are connected, all will be shown in the same USB Menu.

To differentiate 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 or indications. Follow the explanations in the Upper Menu Line on the bottom of your screen to change the settings.

Disc: Shows the type of the disc.

Audio: Shows the audio track that is currently playing. Options are shown on both menu lines on the bottom of the screen.

Playlist: Sets the order in which the current disc is played back.

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

Random: Activates Random Playback when possible.

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) or Picture (JPEG). Tracks and pictures can be selected from this list at any time by moving 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 (or i INFO) Submenu on the left side of the screen. Press ENTER 6 until the icon is highlighted in light 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 Submenu.

When the HS 350 is in play mode, pressing the PLAY button on the remote control will highlight 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 video files only. In order to do so, click in stop mode on the MUSIC, PICTURE or MOVIE icons on the left part of the screen to select or deselect the desired format.

NOTE: The HS 350 will not play back any of the formats SVCD/VCD, MPEG1 (Video), MPEG2 (Video) and audio CD tracks (CDDA) stored on an external USB hard drive.

•You will need a FAT32 pre-formatted external hard disk drive with USB connector. If your disk is formatted with another file system (like NTFS) you will need to re-format it. Please contact your hard disk supplier for more information.

•We recommend creating folders and sort the files by file type (movies, pictures or music). This will allow you to quickly find the file you’re looking for.
