Thank You for Choosing Harman Kardon® Products!
In the years since harman kardon engineers invented the high-fidelity receiver, we have
taken to heart this philosophy: Bringing the joy of home entertainment to as many people
as possible, adding performance and ease-of-use features that enhance the experience. The
BDS series of home entertainment systems offers a complete home entertainment solution
with a wealth of listening and viewing options in one sleek receiver. Each BDS series system
also includes a 5.1-channel, 2.1-channel or soundbar loudspeaker system, a system remote
control and all the cables and accessories you need to enjoy movies and music in your own
home, when you use them with your television or video display.
To get the maximum enjoyment from your new BDS system, we urge you to read this manual
thoroughly and refer back to it as you become more familiar with your new systems features
and their operation.
If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation, please contact
your retailer or custom installer, or visit the Harman Kardon Web site at
www.harmankardon.com.
Verify Line Voltage Before Using
Your BDS receiver has been designed for use with 110 – 240-volt, 50Hz/60Hz AC current. Your
subwoofer has been designed for use with either 120-volt, 60Hz or 220 – 240-volt, 50/60Hz
AC current, depending on where your system was sold. The receiver includes a detachable IEC
power cable designed for use in the region where the system is sold.
Connection to a line voltage other than that for which the units are intended can create
a safety and fire hazard and may damage the units. If you have any questions about the
voltage requirements for your specific model or about the line voltage in your area, contact
your dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.
Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new receiver during shipment were
specially designed to cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest that you save the
carton and packing materials for use in shipping if you move or if the unit ever needs repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it. You can do it by
carefully slitting the tape seams on the carton’s bottom and collapsing it. You can store
cardboard inserts in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed should be
saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.
If you do not wish to save the packaging materials, please note that the carton and other
sections of the shipping-protection materials are recyclable. Please respect the environment
and discard those materials at a local recycling center.
Remove the protective plastic film from the front-panel lens. Leaving the film in place will
affect the performance of your remote control.
Installation Location
To ensure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit
on a firm and level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and
any mounting hardware can support the weight of the product.
Provide proper space both above and below the unit for ventilation. If this product will
be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient air
movement within the area. Under some circumstances, a fan may be required.
Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface.
Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations, or in an area that is exposed to direct
sunlight or heating equipment.
Avoid moist or humid locations.
Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top and sides of the unit or place objects
directly over or next to them.
Do not place the
receiver directly on top of a product that generates excessive heat.
Due to the heat generated by the
receiver and other components in your system, there is
the remote possibility that the rubber padding on the bottom of the unit’s feet may leave
marks on certain wood or wood-veneer materials. Use caution when placing the unit
on soft woods or other materials that heat or heavy objects may damage. Some surface
finishes may be particularly sensitive to absorbing such marks, due to a variety of factors
beyond harman kardon control, including the nature of the finish, cleaning materials
used, normal heat and vibration caused by the use of the product, or other factors. Your
warranty will not cover this type of damage to furniture, so exercise caution in choosing
an installation location for the component and in performing normal maintenance
practices.
Your new
harman kardon Blu-ray Disc™ player requires a broadband Internet connection
for BD-Live™ interactivity.
Cleaning
receiver
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, and only after
unplugging the AC power cord, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water,
then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe it dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use
benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use
abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide
near the unit.
Speakers and Subwoofer
When needed, use a soft cloth to remove any fingerprints or dust from the enclosures or
grilles. NOTE: Do not use any cleaning products or polishes on the enclosures or grilles.
Moving the Receiver
Before moving the receiver, disconnect any interconnection cords to other components, and
disconnect the unit from its AC outlet.
NOTE: The built-in Blu-ray Disc/DVD player in your BDS receiver is designed and
manufactured for compatibility with region management information that is encoded on
most Blu-ray Disc recordings and DVD recordings:
BDS receivers sold in the USA
are designed only for playback of discs with Blu-
Ray Disc Region Code A and DVD Region Code 1 information, or for discs that do not
contain any region code information.
BDS receivers sold in Europe
are designed only for playback of discs with Blu-ray
Disc Region Code B and DVD Region Code 2 information, or for discs that do not
contain region code information.
If there is a Region Code on a disc other than the one your BDS player is designed for, it
will not play in your BDS receiver.
