| Question: | After connecting the DAL 150 to my computer, it fails to install correctly, and no HK icon appears in my systray. How can I proceed?
|
| Answer: | This may be a problem with the computer's internal configuration.
1. Go to your PC's desktop and right-click on the "My Computer" icon, then select "Properties" in the pop-up menu.
2. A dialog box should appear that will indicate which version of the Windows® operating system is installed on your computer. If it is not Windows 98SE, Me, 2000 or XP, then the DAL 150 will not work with your computer. The DAL 150 is not designed to work with Apple® Macintosh® computers.
3. You may find that you have the correct version of the Windows operating system installed, but need to download the most recent Service Pack from the Microsoft® Web site. Open your Internet Browser, and select the "Tools" menu and the "Windows Update" option. Or, point your browser to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com. Follow the directions there to download any upgrades to your operating system.
4. If you are still having difficulty installing the DAL 150, you may need to check with the manufacturer of your computer for any additional software or firmware upgrades required to optimize operation of the USB port.
5. Some computers, particularly laptop computers, may require the use of an external, powered USB hub in order to function optimally with some USB devices, including the DAL 150. See your local computer reseller for more information on available powered USB hubs.
If you are still having trouble installing the DAL 150 on your computer, try returning the DAL 150 to your dealer and exchanging it for another unit. If the problem persists with the second unit, please contact us with the model of your computer and the operating system it is running so that we can analyze the problem.

|
| Answer: | Press the Status button (EzMenu button on the DVD 25) on the remote control to turn the on-screen menu back on.
|
| Question: | After uninstalling the DAL 150, why can't I hear anything when I play back a selection using Windows Media™ Player, or another media player?
|
| Answer: | Sometimes the uninstall procedure causes the PC’s software volume control to be turned all the way down to protect the equipment. Double-click on the speaker icon in the systray to adjust the control.
|
| Question: | All of the DP2’s settings went back to the defaults after I turned my car off. Why? |
| Answer: | This can happen for a couple of reasons. First, if you’re powering the DP2 using the included cigarette lighter adaptor, then this will happen when you remove power from the cigarette lighter. There is no “battery backup” in the DP2 to retain settings. It needs a constant power source to provide a small amount of power for retaining settings.
If you have the DP2 hardwired in to your vehicle’s electrical system, and you’ve confirmed that there is constant power being sent to the DP2, then please contact our technical support representatives for assistance.

| Answer: | This system does not allow any more satellites than the ones included in your system. |
| Question: | Can I have two of these speaker systems running at the same time? |
| Answer: | Yes, although some soundcards do not support two analog devices running at the same time. Please check with your soundcard manufacturer to be sure. |
| Question: | Can I import addresses from external sources such as Outlook? |
| Answer: | This feature is not available and is not planned for future implementation. |
| Question: | Can I play an HDCD® disc in the DVD 5?
|
| Answer: | Although the DVD 5 does not include HDCD decoding, if you have an outboard processor with HDCD decoding, such as the Harman Kardon AVR 7000 or AVR 510, you may connect the digital audio output of the DVD 5 to one of the digital inputs on your processor and the DVD 5 will transmit all of the information on your HDCD-encoded disc. If you still cannot detect a difference, check your processor and try deactivating other decoding modes, such as Logic 7® or Dolby® Digital or other surround modes, since some processors are unable to perform more than one type of decoding at a time.
|
| Question: | Can I plug headphones into this speaker system? |
| Answer: | No, there is no headphone jack available on this speaker system. |
| Question: | Can I replace the display on my Drive + Play with that from the DP2? |
| Answer: | No. Unfortunately, the two displays are not interchangeable. However, if you currently have a Drive + Play, the display mounts are interchangeable so mounting your DP2 display will be a cinch. |
| Question: | Can I run two SoundSticks together or other speakers at the same time with the SoundSticks?
|
| Answer: | No, this is not possible, as it is a limitation of the computer. The computer can recognize only one USB audio output device at a time and will only send sound to an analogue sound or digital sound, but not both at the same time.
|
| Question: | Can I upgrade the iSub to the SoundSticks? |
| Answer: | No, the SoundSticks are a 3 piece system, consisting of 2 satellite speakers and a subwoofer that looks like the iSub. The iSub is a standalone subwoofer unit, it does not have the required 2 channel amplifier to power the satellite speakers. |
| Question: | Can I use a remote control to control power on/off or volume on the PA 4000 via the optional IR sensor installed in a KP 1?
|
| Answer: | No. The optional IR sensor relays the remote control signal to a source device, such as a receiver or processor, or a DVD player. The PA 4000 itself can be controlled using the 3 buttons on the KP 1 keypad, or using the controls on the PA 4000's front and rear panels.
Alternatively, you could adjust the PA 4000's Power Control Mode Switches to power each channel pair on using the Music Sense or AC/DC Trigger modes instead of via the keypad. In Music Sense mode, the PA 4000 will automatically turn on when an audio signal is present at the inputs, and will automatically turn off when no signal is present for approximately 10 or 15 minutes. In AC/DC Trigger mode the unit will automatically turn on when a 3 – 30-volt signal is applied to the Trigger Jack. In either of these modes, you could use the remote control to pass a power-on command to your source component via the optional IR sensor installed in the KP 1. In Music Sense mode, your source component will cause the PA 4000 to power on by presenting an audio signal. In AC/DC Trigger mode, you will have to have installed your source component with a trigger connected to the PA 4000 Trigger Jack to turn on the PA 4000 when the source itself turns on.
However, if you decide to use either the Music Sense or AC/DC Trigger modes, you will not be able to power the PA 4000 on or off using the KP 1 keypad.

| Question: | Can I use the Guide+Play GPS-810 and Drive+Play 2 in the same vehicle? How do I make sure the control knobs don’t interfere with each other? |
| Answer: | Though the remote controllers for the Drive and Play 2 and GPS810 are identical, you can use both the GPS810 and DP2 in a car using both remotes! The trick is making sure that the remotes bind correctly to their corresponding device. Once the remote is bound, it will only control one device.
The binding range of the DP2 is much wider than the binding range for the GPS810. The DP2 range is 20 feet while the GPS810 range is about 1 foot.
A problem would arise if the GPS810 battery drained completely to the point where the unit shuts off. The GPS810 remote would try to bind with anything within range. If the DP2 is on, the GPS810 remote will bind to the DP2. In order to get the GPS810 remote to bind again with the GPS810, you would have to take the GPS810 outside the DP2 binding range (over 20 feet away) and reset the remote in order to bind it with the GPS810 again. This is done by taping the center button until you get a conformation on the GPS 810’s screen.
There should be no problem if the remotes are bound correctly the first time and the GPS810 battery doesn’t drain completely to the point of turning off. |
| Question: | Can I use the SoundSticks on my stereo system, TV, iPod/MP3 player? |
| Answer: | No, the SoundSticks use a USB connector. It will only work with compatible computers equipped with USB, no adapters are available.
|
| Question: | Can I use VMAx® with my headphones?
|
| Answer: | It is a feature of the AVR 125, AVR 225, AVR 120, AVR 220, AVR 320, AVR 520 and AVR 8000 to provide VMAx (Near and Far modes) at the headphone output. This allows you to enjoy the full benefit of 5.1-surround sound when playing DVDs without disturbing others. With VMAx engaged, the receiver first uses the selected surround sound decoder (e.g., Dolby® Digital) to process the incoming audio signal. VMAx processes this output to create virtual surround sound when the headphones are used.
The HK 3470 functions differently. The implementation of VMAx was not optimized in this model for use with the headphones. Therefore, although you cannot do any harm by activating VMAx while listening through the headphones, and you will notice a difference in the sound field, it may not be to your liking.
|
| Question: | Can I use VMAx® with my headphones?

| Question: | Can my DVD player display MP3 text?
|
| Answer: | Yes. When an MP3 disc is loaded and recognized, the DVD 25 and the DVD 50 will display all of the filenames on the disc using the on-screen video display. The unit will display the filenames up to 12 characters in length. You may scroll through the list, but the DVD player will not organize the filenames, aside from listing them alphabetically. You may also create a playlist of MP3 files. Please see your owner's manual for further information.
In addition, for the DVD 50 only, if you press the Title button on the remote control while an MP3 selection is playing, the DVD 50 will scroll the filename across its front panel.
Note: The DVD 5 is not capable of recognizing or playing MP3 discs.
|
| Question: | Can my DVD player play DVD Audio (DVD-A) discs?
|
| Answer: | No, the DVD 25 and the DVD 50 do not support the DVD Audio format. However, most DVD-Audio discs also contain a Dolby® Digital 5.1 track, a PCM track or other tracks that can be played using the DVD player's digital audio outputs.
|
| Question: | Can my surround-sound receiver handle a 4-ohm load?
|
| Answer: | All Harman Kardon Audio/Video receivers can handle most 4 and 6 ohm speakers on the market today. However, there are some manufacturers' speakers that have a minimum impedance well below the 4 and 6 ohm nominal impedance. In this situation, the receiver will protect itself by going into standby mode. This will not damage the speakers or the electronics, but it is an indication that the speaker in question is not compatible with our receiver. Note: The continued use of the receiver with speakers that cause it to shut down can result in eventual failure of the receiver which is not covered by the warranty.
|
| Question: | Can you use the optical or coaxial digital outputs for MP3 playback?
|
| Answer: | Yes, but note that the output will be in the audio format, not in MP3.
|
| Question: | Do I need a voltage converter for another country outside of the U.S.A? |
| Answer: | Yes, this system does not have a switching power supply. A standard step-down transformer will work. |
| Question: | Does the AB 1 have a mute control? |
| Answer: | Yes. Tap the Volume Down button to mute the audio, and tap the Volume Up button to unmute it. The mute control affects only speakers connected to that AB 1; other rooms and zones in your system are not affected. |
| Question: | Does the ADP303 decode Dolby® Pro Logic® ?
|
| Answer: | The ADP303 is strictly a Dolby Digital decoder. It is usually connected to an existing system, such as the AVR80, that already has Dolby Pro Logic built in.
|
| Question: | Does the ADP303 decode DTS® ?
|
| Answer: | The ADP303 is strictly a Dolby® Digital decoder. However, because it has a 6-channel direct input, you can add an external DTS decoder to your system by simply connecting it to the 6-channel input and selecting bypass on the ADP303. This will disengage the ADP303 and will engage the DTS decoder connected to the 6-channel direct input.
|
| Question: | Does the DVD 5 support HDCD® ?
|
| Answer: | No, it does not. However, if you have a receiver that does, such as the Harman Kardon AVR 7000, simply connecting the digital output from the DVD 5 to your receiver will give you HDCD decoding.
|
| Question: | Does the DVD 5 support the DVD Audio format?
|
| Answer: | No, it does not.
|
| Question: | Does the GPS-810 display text messages from a Bluetooth enabled phone? |
| Answer: | This feature is not available and is not planned for future implementation. |
| Question: | Does the GPS-x10 connect to or support the iPod in any way? |
| Answer: | As of this writing, none of our GPS models support the iPod. |
| Question: | Does this receiver do DTS® decoding?
|
| Answer: | This receiver is strictly a Dolby® Digital/Dolby Pro Logic® system. It does not support DTS.
|
| Question: | DVD 10 can read CD-RW, so why is it impossible to read CD-R when it can play CD-RW? |
| Answer: | The wavelength of the laser reading DVD discs is the same as the wavelength necessary for reading CD-RW discs. That is why these CD-RW discs can be read normally.
CD-R discs are produced differently. To be able to read CD-R discs, you will need a laser with a different wavelength. The laser currently in the DVD 10 is not able to send light with different wavelength and that is the reason for not being able to read CD-R discs. All our new DVD players will be able to read CD-R discs.
|
| Question: | Ever since connecting this received to my system, I get lines, static, and/or noise on my TV. What am I doing wrong?
|
| Answer: | This is an RF-interference problem. Please check all of your cable TV lines (75-ohm coax lines), and make sure that they are RG6 cables. If any of them are not RG6 cable, they may be picking up the RF signal from the AVR. Please change all cables to RG6 (the new cable standard). This should solve your problem.
|
| Question: | Every time I try to drag a button into a macro, my computer locks up. What is wrong?

| Question: | How can I get this amp to turn on with my preamp?
|
| Answer: | There is a section in the manual that talks about the remote power function on this amplifier. You will need a 6 to 12- volt power supply (current is not an issue). You will need to plug it into the remote power jack on the back of the amp. Now, plug the power end of the power supply into the switched outlet on your receiver and leave your amp in the ON position.
From now on, whenever you turn on your preamp, the amp will also turn on.

| Question: | How can I listen to MP3 tracks using the CDR 30?
|
| Answer: | First, you will need a disc that contains MP3 files. In addition to commercially available discs, there are many software packages and Web sites with information on how to create such a disc using your computer's CD-R/RW drive.
Stop any other discs that are currently playing in the CDR 30, and insert the MP3 disc into either drive. If the disc contains only MP3 files, then simply play it. If it is a mixed, or multisession, disc that also contains standard CD audio tracks, then you must press the MP3 button on the remote control in order to play the MP3 tracks.

| Question: | How can I program the remote codes for a product I've connected to the front-panel Video 4 inputs of my AVR 230 or AVR 330? |
| Answer: | On the AVR 230 and AVR 330, you may assign (or reassign) a new device type to the Video 4 input selector on the main remote control.
First, look up the product codes for your product in the tables at the back of the manual. Jot down any codes that apply.
Next, program a code into the remote as follows.
1. Simultaneously press the VID4 and Mute buttons, and hold them until the red light under the VID4 button turns on.
2. Release the buttons, then press the input selector that corresponds to the type of product connected to the front-panel inputs, such as VID1 for a VCR or CD for a CD player.
3. Using the Numeric Keys, enter one of the product codes you found in the tables for your product type.
4. Press the VID4 button again. The red light under the VID4 button should flash three times to confirm that the selector has been programmed.
5. Test the remote on your product to make sure that most functions operate correctly. If only one or two functions work, you may need to program a new product code, although you won't need to assign the device type again. Programming a new code is easy; press and hold the VID4 and Mute buttons simultaneously until the red light under the VID4 button turns on. Release the buttons, and enter the next three-digit product code from your list while pointing the remote at your product to see if the product powers on or off. If it does, then press the VID4 button, which should flash to confirm the programming. Test the remote again, and repeat this step until the remote operates the product correctly. |
| Question: | How can I stop my remote control from switching back to the receiver mode after I’ve selected another device? |
| Answer: | You have encountered a feature known as Device Priority, in which the remote control gives priority to the control codes for the receiver over other devices.
As you may be aware, pressing the input selector for a particular device switches the remote to the control codes for that device. Your remote was programmed at the factory to keep those codes active for only six seconds after the last button press, and then return control to the receiver codes.
However, you may wish to either extend that time period to twelve seconds, or disable the priority altogether, in which case the remote would always control the last-used device and you would have to remember to press the selector for the receiver before using the remote for receiver functions.
To change the device priority, press and hold the Program button for three seconds, until the red light under the Set Button is illuminated. Press the Set Button to access the remote’s Main menu. Use the up and down arrow controls to scroll through the Main menu options until Device Priority appears. Press the Set Button to select it, and you may then scroll through the three options of Normal, in which the remote returns to the receiver mode six seconds after the last button press; Extended, in which the remote returns to the receiver mode twelve seconds after the last button press; and Last Used, in which the remote always retains the control codes of the last-used device. Press the Set button to select the desired mode, and the remote will return to normal operation, subject to the device priority rule you selected.

| Question: | How can I use the CDR 30’s CD and MP3 Text Display?
|
| Answer: | For standard audio CDs, press the CD Text button on the remote control corresponding to the deck the disc is in while the disc is stopped, and the CDR 30 will display information regarding the disc. If you enter a track number before pressing the CD Text button, or if you press the CD Text button while the disc is playing, the CDR 30 will instead display information on the selected track.
When an MP3 track is playing, the current playing time for that track will be displayed. Press the Display button on the remote control for further information about the track. Press and hold the Display button for 3 seconds to switch to Total Time mode, which displays the total number of tracks and total playing time of the MP3 files on the disc any time the Display button is pressed. Press and hold the Display button again for 3 seconds to return to track-specific information on subsequent presses of the Display button.

| Question: | How do I adjust the sound level so that it’s not too quiet or distorted? |
| Answer: | The DP2 has two adjustments for combating this problem and maximizing sound quality. You have an iPod INPUT gain and a Line OUTPUT gain. The iPod INPUT gain allows you to adjust the output level of your iPod to match the level of your other audio sources that are connected to the DP2. For example, if you have a Sirius tuner attached to the DP2, there could be a drastic difference in audio level between the Sirius tuner and your iPod. Using the iPod INPUT gain, you can match the iPod’s sound level to your Sirius tuner.
The Line OUTPUT gain allows you to adjust the overall volume of your DP2 to match your car head unit’s other audio sources. So, if your car head unit has an FM tuner and a CD player, you can match the output level of the DP2 to be the same as the tuner and CD player. This is useful so that when you switch between your different sources you won’t have to adjust the volume on your radio. Then again, you probably won’t want to stop listening to the DP2! |

| Question: | How do I connect an EQ to this receiver?
|
| Answer: | This receiver does not have a tape monitor section. In fact, most people never use this feature. More often than not, someone pushes the Tape Monitor button and then can't figure out why he/she can't hear the CD player. He/she ends up returning the unit to the store or bringing it in for service.
Because only roughly 10% of the public ever uses this feature, we have decided to remove it from this receiver. There is, therefore, no way to connect an EQ to this receiver.
|
| Question: | How do I connect digital audio, video and other components to the DVD 5?
|
| Answer: | The DVD 5’s connections are pretty simple. You need to make one audio output and one video output connection to other components in your system.
For audio output, you need to choose either an analog or digital connection, depending on the inputs available on your other components. For the best results, we recommend connecting one of the digital audio outputs on the DVD 5 to a compatible digital audio input on an A/V surround-sound receiver or processor that is capable of decoding Dolby® Digital and DTS® audio signals. If your receiver can decode Dolby Digital but not DTS signals, then you should still make the digital connection, and you should also connect the left and right analog audio outputs of the DVD 5 to your receiver’s analog inputs.
If you don’t have a receiver, or if your receiver doesn’t have digital inputs, you can connect the left and right analog audio outputs of the DVD 5 to the analog inputs of your television, receiver, or other audio components.
Next, you will need to choose one of the three types of video output to connect to either your television set or your A/V surround-sound receiver or processor. If your TV or receiver has component video (Y/Pr/Pb) inputs, we recommend connecting those to the DVD 5’s component video outputs for the best picture. If your TV or receiver does not have component video switching, then using the S-Video connections will also give excellent results. If S-Video is not available in your system, then use the composite video output. Not that the DVD 5 does not have the F-type of connector used on older equipment.
Once you have made these connections to your audio system and/or television, follow the directions provided in the owner’s manual for your audio equipment and television to correctly select the DVD 5 as the source, and to select Dolby Digital or DTS processing as appropriate. When choosing DTS processing, which is only available when the disc was recorded with a DTS audio soundtrack (check the jacket of your DVD), make sure to use the DVD 5 on-screen menu to select the Digital Audio Out setting and change it to DTS. Also, make sure to select DTS processing on the disc menu.

| Question: | How do I connect my tape deck to the receiver so that I can monitor recordings?
|
| Answer: | What you are trying to do requires what is known as a tape monitor loop, which allows you to hear what has just been recorded when used with a three-head tape deck. However, although stereo receivers, including the Harman Kardon HK 3370 and HK 3470, include a tape monitor loop in their processing path as a matter of course, the tape monitor loop is not compatible with Dolby® Pro Logic®, Dolby Digital and other surround sound processing. Therefore, it is not possible to monitor your tape recordings as they are being made.

| Question: | How do I play a DTS® disc in the DVD 5?
|
| Answer: | Make sure that your disc does in fact have a DTS audio soundtrack recorded on it. Look for a DTS logo on the jacket of the disc. Also, you will have to use the digital audio output of the DVD player in order to preserve the DTS information for your outboard DTS processor.
The DVD 5 should be powered on, and the disc inserted. Using the remote control to operate the on-screen menu, press the menu button to display the setup menu. Use the up/down arrow navigation keys to scroll to the Digital Audio Out option, and press the enter button to select it. You will see three options available: Dolby® Digital, PCM (used for playing conventional CDs), and DTS. The default is probably set to Dolby Digital, which is fine for playing non-DTS discs because the DVD 5 will automatically output audio in either Dolby Digital or PCM mode as appropriate to the disc being played.
However, in order to play a DTS disc, especially since many DTS DVDs also contain stereo PCM materials in portions of the disc, it will be necessary to select DTS and press the enter button. When you are finished with this disc, you do not need to change this setting back to Dolby Digital since, when set to DTS, the DVD 5 will automatically recognize and pass any Dolby Digital or PCM signal through the digital audio output.
Next, start playback of the disc, and press the menu button in order to access the disc's menu. Where there is a choice, make sure that the DTS soundtrack is selected.
Finally, make sure that your audio equipment is capable of decoding a DTS signal, and that it is set in DTS mode. If not, you will not hear any audio.

| Question: | How do I record a mix disc from different CDs?
|
| Answer: | You will need to dub one CD at a time.
1. Make sure you have a blank audio recordable disc in the righthand (CDR) deck.
2. Insert the first source CD into the lefthand (CDP) deck.
3. If you are dubbing more than one track, you should create a playlist using the remote control.
a. Before you start, press the CDP button on the remote.
b. Press the Prog button, and then either enter the desired track number or use the Next button to go to that track, followed by the Prog button to enter it into the playlist.
c. Continue either entering track numbers, or using the Next button to select the track, and then the Prog button to enter the selection, until you have programmed all of the tracks you want to record from this source disc.
d. Press the Dubbing button, then the Play button to start the recording.
4. If you only want to dub a single track from the source disc, use the Next button to select the track, then press the Dubbing button and the Play button, and the CDR 20 will make the dub.
5. When the CDR 20 has finished the dub, replace the source CD in the CDP deck.
6. Repeat the above until all of the desired tracks have been added to the blank disc.
7. Make sure to finalize your mix disc by pressing the Finalize button, then the Play/Select button on the CDR (right) side of the front panel.
If you have a CDR 30, you can also dub MP3 files using the above method, but they will be recorded as standard CD-format audio files, not MP3 files. Therefore, you need to make sure that you only dub as many files at a time as will fit onto the blank disc once they are converted into standard CD format. When dubbing MP3 files, if your disc is “mixed”, meaning that it contains both CD audio tracks and MP3 files, you must press the MP3 button on the remote control in order to access the MP3 files.
