CONTENTS 

 

In the years since Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiver, 

we have taken to heart this philosophy: Bring the joy of home 

entertainment to as many people as possible, adding performance 

and ease-of-use features that enhance the experience. With the 

introduction of the HS series of home-entertainment systems, 

Harman Kardon offers a complete home-entertainment solution with 

a wealth of listening and viewing options in one sleek component. 

Each HS series system also includes a 5.1-channel or 2.1-channel 

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 HS 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

disc player will accept five-inch (12cm) and three-inch (8cm) discs.

Information Display: Various messages appear on this display in 

response to commands. In addition, a variety of indicators will light at 

various times to show the current source, settings or other aspects of 

the HS 2X0SO/230’s status as described throughout this manual. See 

Receiver Information Display, on page 7, for details.

Volume Control: Rotate the disc clockwise to raise the volume; rotate 

counterclockwise to lower the volume. The volume level will appear 

on the Information Display and on the on-screen menu (if the menu is 

enabled, see Preferences – Volume Bar, on page 20).

Eject Button (on top of unit): Press this button to eject a disc from the 

HS 2X0SO/230’s built-in DVD player. Before pressing this button, make 

sure that no objects are blocking the disc slot. NOTE: If you do not 

remove the ejected disc within 20 seconds, it will automatically re-load 

back into the DVD player for protection.

Standby Button (on top of unit): This button turns the HS 2X0SO/230

switch. When the HS 2X0SO/230 is plugged into AC power, the LED 

turns red to indicate that the HS 2X0SO/230 is in Standby mode (ready

device, or a USB Standard-A cable connected to a USB device, to this
