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

system’s 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 our 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 player 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 s

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 s

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. s

Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations or in an area that is exposed to s

direct sunlight or heating equipment.

Avoid moist or humid locations. s

Do not obstruct the fan vents on the rear panel or the ventilation slots on the top and s

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 s

heat.

Due to the heat generated by the receiver and other components in your system, s

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.

Cleaning

Receiver

When the receiver 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 s 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 s 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.
