34 USB MENU

The Harman Kardon Digital Lounge systems are
among the first to allow direct playback of com-
patible files from portable USB devices. Two USB
On-The-Go inputs are available, one on the right
side of the product (USB 1) and one on the rear
panel (USB 2).

Connect your USB thumb drive or portable hard
disk, to either of the side or rear panel USB
Inputs

3G. If you have more than two

devices that you would like to connect at the
same time, you can use a standard USB-hub
with an external power supply, to which you can
connect up to 16 portable USB devices.

1. Press the USB 1 or USB 2 

K buttons on the

remote control to turn the DVD Receiver on.
In order to browse through your collection or
to simply watch images stored on the drives,
you can temporarily switch on your TV screen.
If the screen is not already on, switch it on by
pressing the Screen Power On Button 

, if

the receiver's OSD is not visible press the USB
Button 

K again.

2. The TV monitor will show the below screen,

allowing you to select which of the file types
available on the device you would like to dis-
play and play. Showing different file types at
the same time like MP3 and JPEG is possible.

3. Move the cursor to the different file types, and

press ENTER to select or deselect the request-
ed file types. Once done, move the cursor to
DONE, and press ENTER.

Important Notes:
• Via USB only the following files can be listed

and played: MP3 or WMA music, JPEG pic-
tures, DivX or XviD movie files. Normal MPEG2
movies, MPEG1, VCD/SVCD or MJPEG movie
files will not be played.

• Only with FAT32 formated Hard Drives can be

connected to USB. When your HD is preformat-
ted with NTFS it must be re-formated with
FAT32 befor any files are stored onto it. Note
that the FORMAT-function of Windows XP can
create FAT32-partitions with max. 32 GB only.
To use a bigger HD with FAT32 specific tools
are needed (e.g. Norton Partition Magic or
Acronis Partition Expert). Please ask your
Dealer to get more informations about those
specific programs.

• With USB as source the programming and ran-

dom functions are not available.

In case several USB devices are connected, all
will be shown in the same USB Menu. To differ-
entiate the drives, they will be shown as 1 and
2. USB drives can have more than one partition.
If that is the case, the different partitions will be
shown as 1a, 1b, 1c etc.

The USB Menu contains the following settings.
Follow the explanations in the Upper Menu Line
on the bottom of your screen to change the set-
tings.

Audio: Shows the audio track that is currently
playing. Options are shown on both Menu Lines
on the bottom of the screen.

Playlist: Fixed to Discs's Order (programming
not possible with USB).

Repeat: Sets the repeat mode.
(Repeat All, Repeat Folder).

Random: Fixed to Off, Random play not possi-
ble with USB.

Picture: Selects the interval between the cur-
rent picture on the screen and the next one.

In the USB Menu, the chapter, track or picture
currently playing will be marked with an arrow
symbol in front of the Track (MP3, WMA), Movie
(DivX, XviD) or Picture (JPEG). Tracks and pic-
tures can be selected from this list at any time
by moving the cursor to the desired track or file
and pressing ENTER 

6 to confirm.

The top part of this screen can be de-activated
to show the complete Track list on the screen. To
de-activate, move the cursor to the upper INFO
Submenu on the left side of the screen. Press
ENTER 

6 until the icon is highlighted in dark

blue and the full Track list is visible on the
screen. In the same way the Disc list can be
removed from the screen by deactivating the
PROGRAM LIST Submenu.

You will be able to use the THUMBNAIL function
to quickly and easily search for image files. Any
JPEG image file that has been created on the
computer with a thumbnail image included will
show up on the right top of the screen when
scrolling though the contents list. The Thumbnail
function can be activated by moving the cursor
to the Thumbnail icon on the left and pressing
ENTER

When the DVD receiver is in play mode, pressing
the PLAY button on the remote control will high-
light the track being played.

If you have a USB device that contains both
music files (MP3, WMA) and JPEG images, you
can choose to run these simultaneously, mixing
the MP3 or WMA audio with your own images.
The time interval can be chosen in the Picture
Setting.

With such devices, you can also either listen to
the MP3 or WMA audio or watch the JPEG files
only. In order to do so, click in stop mode on the
LIST MUSIC FILES, LIST PICTURES or LIST
MOVIES icons on the left part of the screen to
select or deselect the desired format.

The Digital Lounge system offers several TV func-
tions that require special attention. Please make

tem will switch on, shown by the amber Power

for all the functions described below, the system
needs to be in TV mode. When TV tuner signal is
not shown on the screen, press the TV button
again.

Changing Channels
Once the TV has been selected as input, chan-
nels can be changed by pressing the number of
the TV channel using the numeric keys

 on

the remote control. For any of the channels that
are stored at preset 10 and above, first press the

Picture in Picture (PIP) Function 
With this function you can watch two video
inputs simultaneously on your Digital Lounge
display. The second video input can either be
shown in the right corner of the display, or the
display can simply be divided in two equally big
squares, each of them showing another video
input. All video inputs that are connected to the
display can be selected to run as a second video
source, however there are some exceptions. If
the HDMI, DVI, or YUV inputs have been chosen
as main video input, the second video input can
not be HDMI, DVI or YUV. As the Digital Lounge
displays include two TV tuners, it is even possible
to watch two different TV stations simultaneously.
