INTRODUCTION & TERMINOLOGY  3
Introduction & Terminology
Thank you for choosing the Harman
Kardon DVD 1500. 
The DVD 1500 is a multi-
purpose DVD player, capable of playing both
DVD discs and conventional CD audio discs with
the highest fidelity. Along with conventional
DVD and CD audio discs, the DVD 1500 is also
compatible with CD-R and CD-RW as well as
VCD discs. To enable you to get the maximum
quality from DVDs, the DVD 1500 is equipped
with the latest in design techniques, including
advanced 10-bit video digital-to-analog convert-
ers (DAC) and Video (composite), S-Video and
RGB video (RGB via SCART) outputs, to ensure
that you get all the quality inherent in today’s
DVD medium.
A coaxial digital audio output is available for
direct connection the AVR 1500 so that you may
take advantage of Dolby Digital* and DTS
®
soundtracks.
When playing audio CDs, the playback quality is
state-of-the-art, matching that of the finest play-
ers available.
A wide range of programming features makes it
easy to program an evening’s worth of enter-
tainment. When playing DVDs, easy-to-under-
stand on-screen menus and icons make it simple
to change languages, soundtracks, subtitles or
aspect ratio, while a parental-lock function
enables you to control which discs may be
viewed by younger members of the household.
DVD players are among the fastest growing con-
sumer electronics products ever brought to mar-
ket, but this may, nevertheless, be the first DVD
player you’ve owned. Although many of the fea-
tures of the DVD 1500 resemble those of stan-
dard CD players, there are a number of functions
that you may be unfamiliar with. To ensure that
you are able to take advantage of all the power
and flexibility the DVD 1500 has to offer, we
encourage you to review this manual. That small
investment of your time will pay major dividends
in the enjoyment you will get from proper use of
the DVD 1500.
If you have additional questions about this prod-
uct or its installation or operation that are not
answered in this manual, please contact your
dealer, as he is your best source of local informa-
tion.
Terminology
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 1500.
Aspect Ratio: This is a description of the width
of a video image in relation to its height. A con-
ventional 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 addi-
tion, you may configure the DVD 1500 to play
back in either format, depending on the features
recorded on a disc. (For details about TV Aspect
Ratio see page 17).
Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as an entire
movie or program. There can be as many chap-
ters 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. Press the TITLE.
button on the remote to see the Menu of the
DVD where you can find all titles available on
the DVD or all chapters, if the disc has only one
title.
Chapter: DVD programs are divided into chap-
ters and titles. Chapters are the sub-sections
programmed into a single title on a disc.
Chapters may be compared to the individual
tracks on an audio CD.
RGB Video: This is a new form of video signal
that eliminates many of the artifacts of tradition-
al 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.
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, the DVD 1500 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 pres-
ent 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 avail-
ability 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 information
about the type of material on the disc, such as
languages, aspect ratios, subtitles, number of
titles and more. The slight delay while the con-
tents of the disc are read is normal.
Resume: The operation of the Stop Button on
the DVD 1500 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 1500,
however, you have two options when playing
DVD discs. Pressing Stop once will stop play-
back, 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 man-
ner and, when the disc is played again, it will
start from the beginning.
