Introduction
Congratulations! With The Bridge
you
are entering the new world of listening
enjoyment made possible by combin-
ing the incredible storage capacity and
playback flexibility of an iPod
®
(not
included) with the sonic power of your
Harman Kardon receiver.
With a single, simple connection, your
iPod is connected, and from there all
you need to do is use your remote
control and you are ready to go!
Features
• Single connection to any The Bridge-
ready Harman Kardon receiver 
• Plays audio from an iPod through
your Harman Kardon receiver 
• Controls your iPod using the
Harman Kardon remote
• Easy track selection with on-screen
navigation
• Charges the iPod
Selecting the Correct iPod Insert
Each iPod model is a slightly different
size, making it necessary to use an
insert that matches your specific iPod
to The Bridge. The Bridge is shipped
with the insert for the color screen and
photo models already installed; if you
own one of those models, no further
changes are needed.
If you own a different iPod, first select
the insert that matches your model.
The model identification is printed on
the back of each of the four extra
inserts supplied with The Bridge. Note
that the insert marked “Universal”
should not be used alone. It is
designed for use with future iPod
models that are not accommodated
by the current inserts. For more 
information or updates, visit 
The Bridge section of our Web 
site at www.harmankardon.com.
Use the following as a guide to
determine which insert is correct
for your iPod model:
• For any iPod with a color screen,
including all iPod photo models, use
the insert with “COLOR/PHOTO” on
the back. This insert is already
installed in The Bridge.
• For 20GB or 30GB iPod photo
models only, remove the insert
marked “COLOR/PHOTO” and
attach the two included foam pads
to the rear inside wall in the well of
the insert before replacing it.
• For iPods with a black and white
screen and a 10GB, 15GB or 20GB
hard drive, use the insert with
“10GB/15GB/20GB” on the back.
• For iPods with a black and white
screen and a 30GB or 40GB 
hard drive, use the insert with
“30GB/40GB” on the back.
• Use the insert with “mini” on the
back for all iPod mini models.
• Use the insert with “Universal” on
the back for iPod models that come
with a special insert.
To remove the 30GB iPod photo
insert, or if you need to replace the
insert at a later time when you change
iPod models, hold The Bridge with one
hand and grab the edges of the insert
in The Bridge and pull straight up.
Once you have selected the correct
insert, place it over the well in the
center of The Bridge and gently press
it down so that it snaps into place.
NOTE: Do not place an iPod in 
The Bridge unless an insert is
installed; otherwise, the iPod will be
prevented from properly connecting,
and damage will be caused to The
Bridge or your iPod that is not covered
by the warranty for either product.
Connecting The Bridge to 
Your Receiver
Before connecting The Bridge, turn
your receiver off using its Master
Power Switch. You will know that 
the power is off when the front-panel
Power Indicator (normally amber
when the unit is in the Standby mode)
goes out. Depending on your receiver
model, the Master Power Switch is
located above the Power Indicator or
behind the front-panel door.
With the receiver off, press the button
on each side of the connector at the
end of The Bridge cable and insert this
plug into The Bridge/DMP port on the
receiver’s rear panel. If the port is hor-
izontal, insert the connector with the
flat side up. If the port is vertical, insert
the connector with the flat side to the
right. In all cases, the connector will
only go in one way. If you inadvertently
try to plug the connector in the wrong
way, do not force it. Simply reverse
the connector and try again.

Press buttons when inserting or removing the plug.
Docking Your iPod
After placing the appropriate insert in
the center well of The Bridge and con-
necting The Bridge to your receiver,
dock your iPod by placing it into the
insert, gently pressing it down until 
the connectors mate on the iPod and
The Bridge.
NOTE: If you normally keep your iPod
in a protective case, or “skin,” you will
need to remove it before playing your
iPod in The Bridge.
Using The Bridge
Once The Bridge is connected, you
may use either the front-panel controls
or the AVR’s remote to select tracks
for playback from your iPod.
To select the iPod docked in The
Bridge, press the DMP/The Bridge
Button on the remote, or use the
Source Selection Button on the
front panel to change sources, as
described in the receiver’s owner’s
manual. When an iPod is correctly
docked in The Bridge, a message will
appear in the front-panel and on-
screen displays to confirm that 
The Bridge is 
CONNECTED,
after which the displays will switch to
the iPod navigation menus and the
iPod’s own menu screen will be
replaced by a “check mark” and a
message reading “OK to disconnect”.
NOTE: If the iPod is not properly con-
nected to the dock, a message read-
ing “Please check connection or bat-
tery condition” may scroll across the
bottom line of the receiver’s on-screen
and front-panel displays. If you see
this message, remove the iPod and
insert it in The Bridge again, making
sure that it seats properly.
When an iPod is properly connected
to a receiver via The Bridge (as con-
firmed by the appearance of the
check mark rather than the standard
iPod menus) the iPod’s Click Wheel
and controls do not operate. Instead,
you must use either the receiver’s
front-panel buttons or the remote 
control to operate your iPod.
Controlling the iPod
Refer to the table below to select the
front-panel or remote control button
for the desired iPod function. Press
that button to operate the iPod. For
example, to play a track on the iPod,
you would normally press the 
II icon
at the bottom of the Click Wheel. To
play a track using an iPod docked in
The Bridge, press the Tune Mode
Button on the front panel of your
receiver, or the Play Button on the
receiver’s remote.
Navigating the iPod’s Menus
To help you in selecting tracks and
navigating through the iPod’s contents,
two-line messages will be displayed in
the receiver’s front-panel display and
on the video display connected to
your receiver. In most cases, these
display and navigation messages will
closely mirror the familiar iPod menus.
The upper line of the receiver’s display
will show the title of the current menu,
such as Playlists, Artists, Albums,
Genres, Songs, etc. The lower line will
show each choice available for selec-
tion within that category as you scroll
to it, similar to scrolling down the list
of choices in the iPod’s menu.

An arrow at the far right of the bottom
line will indicate whether there are
more choices in the menu stack.
• A right-pointing arrow (
) tells 
you that you are at the start of the
options stack. Press the Preset Up
Button on the front panel or the 
button on the remote to scroll down
through the available choices.
• Two arrows, one pointing in each
direction (
), indicate that you
are in the middle of the options
stack. Press the Preset Up or
Preset Down Button on the front
panel or the fi/fl buttons on the
remote to scroll up or down through
the available choices.
• A left-pointing arrow (
) tells you
that you are at the bottom of the
options stack. Press the Preset
Down Button on the front panel 
or the fl button on the remote to
scroll up through the available
choices.
While a track is playing, the upper line
of both displays will continually scroll
the Song, Artist and Album informa-
tion. The lower line will show the
elapsed time of the current track on
the left, and the remaining time on the
right. The icon between the two time
displays will show the Play icon (fl)
when a track is playing and the Pause
icon (
±
) when playback is paused.
The play time and track information
will always be available in the front-
panel display. The on-screen display
will disappear from view after the time
period set in the Advanced Settings
menu in your receiver. If you wish to
change the on-screen display time,
follow the instructions shown in the
Advanced Features section of your
receiver’s owner’s manual. The on-
screen display will reappear at the start
of each new track to show you the
time and track information, and then 
it will disappear again to prevent
image retention, or “burn-in,” on 
CRT or plasma displays.
Basic Playback and Control 
of the iPod
• To pause playback at any time,
press the Tune Mode Button
on the front panel or the Pause
Button (
±
) on the remote. Press it
again to resume playback.
• To skip forward to the next track,
press the Tune Up Button on the
front panel or the Forward Search
flfl Button on the remote. Release
the button and press it again, or tap
it repeatedly to skip forward through
the available tracks.
• To skip back to the start of the cur-
rent track, press the Tune Down
Button on the front panel or the
Reverse Search fifi Button on
the remote. Release the button and
press it again, or tap it repeatedly to
skip backward through the available
tracks.
• To fast-forward through a track while
it is playing, press and hold the
Tune Up Button on the front panel
or the Forward Search flfl
Button on the remote.
• To play in fast reverse through a
track while it is playing, press and
hold the Tune Down Button on the
front panel or the Reverse Search
fifi Button on the remote.
• To display the menus that guide you
through track selection, press the
Tuner Band Selector (AM/FM)
Button on the receiver’s front panel
or the Menu Button on the remote.
• To navigate the menus, scroll for-
ward using the Preset Up Button
on the receiver’s front panel or the
fl Button on the remote. Scroll
backward using the Preset Down
Button on the receiver’s front panel
or the fi Button on the remote.
Press the Set Button on either the
front panel or the remote to select
the current entry.
Charging the iPod
You may leave your iPod in The Bridge
even when you are not using it as a
playback source. Whenever the iPod 
is docked and your receiver is turned
on, The Bridge will charge the battery
in the iPod.
Some Harman Kardon receivers 
allow you to select whether you wish
to have the iPod’s battery charge
when the receiver is turned off (in 
the “Standby” mode) by changing 
a setting in the Input Menu on the
receiver. Consult your receiver’s
owner’s manual to see whether your
receiver has this capability.
Removing the iPod 
To remove an iPod from The Bridge,
grasp the sides of the iPod and pull 
it straight up, away from The Bridge.
Depending on your iPod model and
the software version it is using, the
check mark may remain in the iPod’s
display for a few minutes before
returning the iPod to normal operation.
This is a function of the iPod’s soft-
ware and does not indicate a failure in
the iPod, The Bridge or your receiver.
