16 PLAYBACK BASICS

Preparation
■ Switch the TV ON and select “Video” as the

TV input.

■ Switch on the stereo system’s power, if the

player has been connected to a stereo system.

1. Press POWER ON to switch on the power.

2. Press OPEN/CLOSE to open the disc tray.

3. Place a disc onto the disc tray.

Hold the disc without touching either of its sur-
faces, position it with the side which you wish to
play facing down, align it with the guides, and
place it in its proper position.

To move the discs in the tray so that you may
insert discs in slots that are partially hidden
inside the disc tray drawer, press the Disk-Skip
Button. Each press of the button will move the
carousel tray one position to the left (counter-
clockwise).

■ To access all disc positions, the unit must be

in the full-stop position. If the unit is in the
Play mode, press the Stop Button twice.

■ If the disc tray drawer is opened while a disc

is playing, the Play Exchange feature allows
you to change the remaining four discs.
Simply press the Disk Skip Button to move
the discs in the tray in one direction or the
other.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON DISC LOADING
■ Remove all discs from the tray before 

moving the player.

■ Make certain that all discs are properly 

seated before closing the disc tray drawer.

■ Do not push the disc tray drawer with the

power off.

■ Do not attempt to change discs or touch the

disc tray carousel while it is moving.

■ Do not attempt to rotate the disc tray by

hand. If the tray drawer or carousel tray
appears to be stuck, contact your local
Harman Kardon authorized service center.

■ Do not load more than one disc in each slot

in the tray and do not attempt to place a
standard 5-inch (12cm) disc over a smaller 3-
inch (8cm) disc.

4. Press PLAY, the disc tray is automatically
closed and play begins.

■ When the disc tray is closed by pressing

OPEN/CLOSE, play will start automatically.

■ In case of interactive DVDs, a Disc Menu

appears on the screen. Select specific menu
item by using ARROW buttons, then press
ENTER.

■ To move to the next disc in the unit, press the

Disk-Skip Button.

■ To select a specific disc in the player, press the

Direct-Access Button corresponding to the
slot where that disc is loaded.

■ To momentarily pause playback and freeze

the current picture frame on a DVD, press the
Pause Button. To resume playback after
pressing the Pause button, press the Play
Button.

■ To move forward or backward through the

tracks on a CD or the chapters on a DVD,
press the Skip Forward/Reverse Buttons
on the front panel or the Previous/ Next
Buttons on the remote.

■ To move forward or backward through the

DVD or CD disc being played at fast speed,
press the Search Forward/Reverse
Buttons. Once one of these buttons is
pressed, the fast search will continue until the
Play Button is pressed. Note that the fast-
play speeds vary for CD discs and DVDs.

For DVD playback, there are four fast-play
speeds. Each press of the Search
Forward/Reverse Buttons will cycle to the
next speed in the following order:

■ In Fast Search x2, the ‹‹ and ›› Playback

Mode Indicators will both light steadily.

■ In Fast Search x4, the outside ‹‹ or ››

Playback Mode Indicator will flash and
the inside indicator will remain steadily lit.

■ In Fast Search x8, the inside ‹‹ or ››

Playback Mode Indicator will flash and
the outside indicator will remain steadily lit.

■ In Fast Search x16, both ‹‹ and ››

Playback Mode Indicators will flash.

Note that there will be no audio playback during
fast-forward or -reverse play of DVD discs. This is
normal for DVD, as A/V receivers and surround
processors cannot process the digital audio
streams during fast-play modes; audio will be
heard during fast-play of conventional CDs.

For CD playback, there are three fast-play
speeds. Each press of the of the Search
Forward/Reverse Buttons will cycle to the
next speed in the following order:

■ In Fast Search x2, the ‹‹ and ›› Playback

Mode Indicatorswill both light steadily 

■ In Fast Search x4, the outside ‹‹ or ››

Playback Mode Indicator will flash and
the inside indicator will remain steadily lit.

■ In Fast Search x8, the inside ‹‹ or ››

Playback Mode Indicator will flash and
the outside indicator will remain steadily lit.

When playing a DVD disc, you may move slowly
forward or backward through the program being
played in one of four speeds by pressing the
Slow-Play Buttons on the remote. Each press
of the buttons will move to the next speed in the
following order:

■ In the 1/16th Speed Slow mode, the 

‹‹ and ›› Playback Mode Indicators
will both flash.

■ In the 1/8th Speed Slow mode, the inside 

‹‹ and ›› Playback Mode Indicator will
flash and the outside indicator will remain
steadily lit.

■ In the 1/4 Speed Slow mode, the outside 

‹‹ or ›› Playback Mode Indicator will
flash and the inside indicator will remain
steadily lit.

■ In the 1/2 Speed Slow mode, both the 

‹‹ and ›› Playback Mode Indicators
will remain steadily lit.

Note that there will be no audio playback during
slow-forward or -reverse play of DVD discs. This
is normal for DVD, as A/V receivers and surround
processors cannot process the digital audio
streams during slow modes. Slow play is not
available for CD discs.

To illuminate the buttons on the remote control
so that they may be seen in low-light conditions,
press the Light Button.

Note: Playback of discs with 96kHz/24-bit
audio requires the use of circuitry normally used
for other features. Accordingly, Slow Play
Reverse and Step Advance features are not avail-
able with these discs.
