FEATURES

n  

Playback capability for CD-R, CD-RW, WMA, 
JPEG, MP3, VCD/SVCD, DVD-R, DVD+R, 
DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs may vary due 
to  variations in the quality of the disc and the 
recorder used to create the disc.

n

  The DMC 1000 is compatible with most 

discs recorded with files encoded using MP3 
or Windows Media 8, as well as JPEG still 
images. However, note that variations in the 
encoder or codec used and the bit rate of the 
encoding may affect the DMC 1000’s ability 
to play back a specific disc. As a result, we 
 cannot guarantee complete compatibility with 
all encoders and versions of the codecs. For 
best results, we recommend that MP3 files be 
encoded at bit rates ranging between 32kbps 
and 320kbps. WMA files should be encoded 
at bit rates between 64kbps and 320kbps. 
Although the DMC 1000 is capable of playing 
some WMA 9 files, not all features of  
version 9 are supported. JPEG files should con-
tain no more than 5 megapixels, and the file 
size should be no larger than 5Mb.

• DVD discs with a Region Code other than 2

The following types of memory cards may be used 
with the DMC 1000:

The DMC 1000 will play most recordable 
memory cards, but we cannot guarantee com-
plete  playback compatibility due to the wide 
variation in recorders and blank media.We can-
not  guarantee playback compatibility with cards 
 having a memory capacity greater than  
1 gigabyte.

Card) memory cards may be used in Card Slot 
1. The smaller miniSD and microSD cards may 
be used in Card Slot 1, but require an adapter 
(not included).

USB Device Compatibility
Client USB devices, such as flash drives and most 
external or some portable hard disc drives, may 
be  connected to the DMC 1000’s front or rear 
panel’s USB port. 
Many recent-model still cameras may also be 
connected directly to the DMC 1000 via USB. In 
general, cameras or other USB devices that are 
compatible with both Windows

®

 and Macintosh 

OS computers may also be used with the DMC 
1000. 
Do not connect a personal computer directly to 
the DMC 1000. Due to their software design, 
the iPod, most other USB peripheral devices and 
accessories – such as card readers, keyboards 
and pointing devices – and software-specific 
digital media players are not compatible with 
the USB ports on the DMC 1000, even when 
placed in disc mode. To enjoy audio materials 
stored on your compatible iPod, dock it in The 
Bridge (optional, and available from your Harman 
Kardon dealer).
Gently insert the connector end of your USB 
device into the USB Port, being careful to align 
the device’s plastic tongue to slide into the gap 
underneath the port’s plastic tongue. Remove the 
device by pulling it out of the port.

The ”firmware” controlling the functional-
ity of the Harman Kardon DMC 1000 is fully 
 upgradeable. In the event of future  improvements 
to its  operations and features, it will be possible 
to download firmware upgrades from  www.har-
mankardon.com/International/ 
All you have to do is create a CD-R with the data 
and insert it in the DMC 1000 for an  automatic 
upgrade.
