‚ AC Power Cord

¡ Optical Digital Output: Connect this jack
to the optical digital input of an A/V receiver or
surround processor for Dolby Digital, DTS or
PCM audio playback.

™ Coaxial Digital Output: Connect this jack
to the coaxial digital input of an A/V receiver or
surround processor for Dolby Digital, DTS or
PCM audio playback.

NOTE: The coaxial digital output should only be
connected to a digital input. Even though it is
the same RCA-type connector as standard ana-
log audio connections, DO NOT connect it to a
conventional analog input jack.

£ 6 Ch Analog Audio Outputs: Connect
these jacks to the 6 Channel Direct Input (if
available) on an A/V receiver or surround proces-
sor for analog audio playbackof DVD-Audio
discs.

If your A/V Receiver does not feature 6 Ch Direct
Input, or you would like to listen to the 2 chan-
nel stereo playback only, connect the FL and FR
to a stereo audio input of your A/V Receiver. In
this case select the Front Left and Front Right
speakers in the SPEAKER SETUP MENU to
LARGE, and the Center and Surround speakers
to NONE (see page 20).

¢ Composite Video Output: Connect this
jack to the video input on a television or video
projector, or to a video input on an A/V receiver
or processor if you are using that type of device
for video input switching.

∞ S-Video Output: Connect this jack to the
S-Video input on a television or video projector,
or to an S-Video input on an A/V receiver or
processor if you are using that type of device for
S-Video input switching.

§ Component Video Outputs: These out-
puts carry the component video signals for con-
nection to display monitors with component
video inputs. For standard analog TV's or projec-
tors with inputs marked Y/Pr/Pb or Y/Cr/Cb, con-
nect these outputs to the corresponding inputs.
If you have a high-definition television or projec-
tor that is compatible with high scan rate pro-
gressive video, connect these jacks to the “HD
Component” inputs. Note that if you are using a
progressive scan display device, then
”Progressive” must be selected in the Video Set-
up Menu in order to take advantage of the pro-
gressive scan circuitry. See page 17 for more
information on progressive scan video.

IMPORTANT: These jacks should NOT be con-
nected to standard composite video inputs.

¶ SCART OUT (TV): If your TV has a SCART
socket, you can connect a SCART cable to your
TV and to your DVD Player for improved video
quality. The SCART cable carries both audio and
video. You can select Composite Video or RGB
video for that SCART connector’s video output
signal (see page 17).

• Remote Control Output: Connect this
jack to the infrared (IR) input jack of another
compatible Harman Kardon remote controlled
product to have the built-in Remote Sensor on
the DVD 30 provide IR signals to other compati-
ble products.

ª Remote Control Input: Connect the out-
put of a remote infrared sensor, or the remote
control output of another compatible Harman
Kardon product, to this jack. This will enable the
remote control to operate even when the front
panel Remote Sensor on the DVD 30 is
blocked. This jack may also be used with com-
patible IR remote control-based automation sys-
tems.

‚ AC Power Cord: Connect this plug to an
AC outlet. If the outlet is controlled by a switch,
make certain that it is in the ON position.

Note: You’ll find more details about all
Audio/Video connections under Setup and
Connections on the following pages.

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS  11

■ Ensure that the power switch of this unit and

other equipment to be connected is set to off
before commencing connection.

■ Do not block ventilation holes of any of the

equipment and arrange them so that air can
circulate freely.

■ Read through the instructions before 

connecting other equipment.

■ Ensure that you observe the color coding

when connecting audio and video cables.

Notes:
■ The Video output (yellow) combines the com-

plete video signal (composite) and sends it to
the TV (or to the AV Receiver) by one line
only. Use the Video output, when your TV set
is equipped with a Video input jack only.

■ The S (separate) video output connector sepa-

rates the color (C) and luminance (Y) signals
before transmitting them to the TV set in
order to achieve a sharper picture. Use the 
S-video cable when connecting the player to
a TV equipped with an S-video input

for improved picture clarity. Never connect
both outputs, Video and S-Video, to your TV
or AV Receiver, only one of them.

■ Most European TV´s are equipped with SCART

connectors rather than with a normal video
input (yellow cinch). In that case the SCART
connection should be used, providing the
audio signal too, (see page 12). Separate ana-
log audio connections to TV are needed only
if your TV is connected to the video or S-video
output.

■ When the audio signal is to be fed to a stereo

or Pro Logic amplifier/decoder or receiver
rather than to the TV, connect the Audio Out
jacks to any normal audio input on your
amplifier/decoder/receiver. The DVD 30 will
”downmix” Dolby Digital recordings to Pro
Logic, available on these connectors, all ana-
log surround or stereo signals will be fed to
them directly.
You can also select the audio and video sig-
nals of all your video devices with your AV
Receiver/Amplifier. For more information see
”Note” on next page.

12 SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

When DVD´s encoded in Dolby Digital or DTS are
played, the Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream is out-
put from the player’s OPTICAL or COAXIAL digi-
tal audio output. When the player is connected
to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy
theater-quality audio in your home. An optical
digital audio cable or coaxial audio cable (both
optional) is required for these connections, as
shown below. Only one connection is needed,
not both at the same time.

■ Note: With multiple video sources, your

Audio/Video device can be used for selecting
the video signal and routing it to the TV.
Connect the video or S-video output of the
DVD player (whatever is provided with your
device) to the video or S-video input on your
device and the video/S-video output of this
device to your TV. For more details, see  the
manual of your Audio/Video amplifier/receiver.

■ Note for Analog Audio: The connection

from Audio Out to the TV is optional only.
Normally you´ll hear the sound from your 
AV-system´s speakers, so the TV volume
should be completely turned down. If you
plan to use your DVD player also without 
having to turn on your complete system, this
connection must exist, then you can turn up
the TV´s volume as needed.
