Terminology
Since they share some of the characteristics and
technology of CD players, many of the terms and
operational concepts used in a DVD player are
similar to what you may be familiar with from CD
players and changers, or older video disc formats
such as Laser Disc. However, if this is your first
DVD product, some of the terms used to describe
the features of a DVD player may be unfamiliar.
The following explanations should solve some of
the mysteries of DVD, and help you to enjoy all
the power and flexibility of the DVD format and
the DVD.
With the arrival of DVD, disc data capacity has
increased dramatically. On a DVD Video disc
most of this capacity is taken up by MPEG 2
video and the multichannel movie soundtrack
in Dolby Digital and/or DTS. This information is
compressed.
Aspect Ratio: This is a description of the width
of a video image in relation to its height.
A conventional video screen is four units wide for
every three units of height, that’s why the ratio
is called ”4:3”. newer wide aspect ratio video
displays are 16 units wide for every nine units of
height, making them more like the screen in a
movie theater. The program material on a DVD
may be recorded in either format and, in addition,
you may configure the DVD to play back in either
format, depending on the features recorded on
a disc.
Media Library: The Media Library refers to
the content stored on the DMC 1000’s internal
hard-disc drive. It contains all of the content that
you have transferred to the DMC 1000, including
copies of audio CDs, captures of audio streams
from the Auxiliary Analog Audio Inputs, and
MP3 audio and JPEG image files transferred from
memory cards, discs or USB drives. The Media
Library automatically organizes the content so
that you may view it by track name, album, artist,
genre, cover art (when available) or playlists that
you have created. When a multizone system has
been connected, each zone may access different
content stored in the Media Library.

you have created. When a multizone system has
been connected, each zone may access different
content stored in the Media Library.
Multizone: A multizone system is used to dis-
tribute audio to various rooms in the house so
that the occupants of each room may independ-
ently choose different program material. The
DMC 1000 permits up to four different zones to
distribute audio simultaneously. Multizone con-
trol is usually set up by the custom installer.
Zone: A zone is a section of a multizone system
in which all loudspeakers in the zone play the
same source program. By connecting the DMC
1000’s audio outputs for a specific zone to a mul-
tichannel amplifier, you may include a number of
loudspeakers in a variety of room locations within
the zone. Example: A four-channel amplifier con-
nected to the Zone 2 Outputs may power a pair
of speakers in the living room and a stereo ceiling
speaker in the connected dining room, so that
you and your guests may enjoy the same program
anywhere within the zone.
Component Video: This form of video signal
eliminates many of the artifacts of traditional
composite video signals by splitting the signal
into a separate luminance channel (the “Y”
signal channel) and two color-difference sig-
nals (the Pr and Pb signal channels). With a
component video connection, you will see greater
picture resolution and eliminate many picture
imperfections such as the moiré patterns often
seen on check-patterned cloth. However, in order
to benefit from component video, you must have
a video display with Y/Pr/Pb component video
inputs. Do not connect the component video out-
puts of the DMC 1000 to the standard composite
or S-video inputs of a TV or recorder.

HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection): HDCP is the specification for
protecting digitally encoded content from
unauthorized copying when it is transmitted from
a DVD player (or other video source) to a video
display using HDMI or DVI connections. In order
to take advantage of the high-resolution output
of the DMC 1000 via its HDMI output, your
display must be HDCP-compliant. Virtually all dis-
plays with HDMI inputs are HDCP-compliant, but
not all DVI-equipped displays are. If you are using
the DMC 1000 with an optional HDMI-to-DVI
cable or adapter, check the owner’s manual for
your display to determine whether it is
HDCP-compliant.

HDMI
™
(High-Definition Multimedia
Interface
™
): HDMI is a serial-bus form of
communication between the DVD player and
the video display or audio/video receiver. With
5Gbps of bandwidth, it is capable of passing
uncompressed digital audio and high-definition
digital video using a single cable. With HDMI, the
DMC 1000 is capable of outputting
high-resolution (720p or 1080p) video and
5.1-channel Dolby Digital or DTS digital audio,
with the convenience of just a single cable
connection.
JPEG Files: JPEG stands for the Joint
Photographic Experts Group, which developed
a standard for compressing still images, such
as photographs. JPEG files may be created on a
personal computer by importing images from a
digital camera, or scanning printed photographs.
These files may be burned onto a compact disc.
The DMC 1000 is capable of recognizing JPEG
files and enabling you to view them on your video
screen.
Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as an entire
movie or program. There can be as many chapters
within a title as the producers decide to include.
Most discs include only one title, but some may
have more than one, to give you a “Double
Feature” presentation.
Chapter: DVD programs are divided into
chapters and titles. Chapters are the sub-

RGB Video: This is a new form of video signal
that eliminates many of the artifacts of traditional
composite video signals by splitting the signal
into the three fundamental colors Red, Green and
Blue (RGB). With an RGB connection (via SCART),
you will see greater picture resolution and
eliminate many picture imperfections such as the
moiré patterns often seen on checkered patterned
cloths. However, in order to benefit from RGB
video, you must have a video display with an RGB
compatible SCART input.
Progressive Scan: Due to the immense data
storage capacity of DVD, images are nowa-
days stored progressively (intact, rather than
interlaced). This allow all of the lines in each
frame (odd and even) to be shown at the same
time. DMC 1000 comes with true progressive
scan video output resulting in a 40% greater light
output than a conventional TV and a stunningly
detailed, high definition image with absence of
visible scanlines and motion artifacts.

by the Microsoft

Corporation for use with its
Windows Media Player. WMA files can be even
smaller in size than MP3 files, while maintaining
similar quality. The DMC 1000 is among those
DVD players capable of playing discs containing
WMA files. note that Windows Media Player
uses other file formats; however, the DMC
1000 is only capable of playing files that end in
the “.wma” extension. See page 27 for more
information on WMA file support.

1000 is only capable of playing files that end in

information on WMA file support.
Multiple Angle: DVDs have the capability to
show up to four different views of the same
scene in a program. When a disc is encoded with
multiple-angle information, pressing the Angle
button will enable you to switch between these
different views. note that at present, few discs
take advantage of this capability and, when
they do, the multiple-angle technology may only
be present for short periods of time within the
disc. Producers will usually insert some sort of
icon or graphic in the picture to alert you to the
availability of multiple viewing angles.
Reading: This is a message that you will see
after you´ve loaded the disc and the tray has
closed. It refers to the fact that the player must
first examine the contents of the disc to see if it
is a CD or DVD, and then extract the informa-
tion about the type of material on the disc, such
as languages, aspect ratios, subtitles, number
of titles and more. The slight delay while the
contents of the disc are read is normal.
Resume: The operation of the Stop Button
on the DVD works differently from what you
are used to on CD players. On a traditional CD
player, when you press the Stop button, the
unit does just that: it stops playback. On a CD
player, when you press the start button again,
the disc starts from the beginning. With the DVD,
however, you have two options when playing
DVD discs. Pressing Stop once will stop playback,
but it actually puts the unit in the Resume mode.
This means that you can turn the machine off
and, when you press play the next time, the disc
will resume or continue from the point on the
disc where the Stop button was pressed. This
is helpful if you are watching a movie and must
interrupt your viewing session but wish to pick up
where you left off. Pressing the Stop button twice
will stop the machine in a traditional manner
and, when the disc is played again, it will start
from the beginning.
In resume mode, the cover of the DVD will be
displayed, if available. Otherwise, the
Harman Kardon screen will appear.
