DRIVE AND PLAY (serv.man16) - Harman Kardon Car Audio User Guide / Operation Manual. Page 9

Drive + Play operates much like the iPod itself. The Control
Knob mimics the iPod’s Click Wheel, and its software uses a
similar menu-select system. Before you use it for the first
time, you will need to perform Initial Setup (see below). 

To make selections, you simply turn the Control Knob’s Scroll
Ring to highlight a desired menu item. Turn the Scroll Ring to
the right to scroll down, and to the left to scroll up. Press the
(center) Select button once to confirm your selection.  

Depending on your selection, this display may show:

•  a list of settings or menu operation, or 

When in any of the “settings” menus:

•

a highlighted setting with a choice of values, or 

•

a highlighted setting with a check box, or

•

a graphic display which may be adjusted using the 
Scroll Ring.

Pressing the (center) Select button again will select the next
highlighted setting (to the right) or go back to the beginning if
all settings have been viewed, or set the check box on or off
(i.e., check or uncheck). If a graphic display appears, use the
Scroll Ring to adjust the setting.

After making your adjustment or selection, you may press the
(top) Menu button to go to the previous menu. If no buttons
are pressed within 10 seconds, the Now Playing screen will
appear. At this point, pressing the Menu button will take you
back to the screen of your previous selection. Repeated Menu
presses will take you back to the Drive + Play Menu.

Initial Setup

NOTE: Please refer to Drive + Play’s display screen as you
make initial settings. Also refer to your iPod User’s Guide for
operation information.

Power On

1. With the main volume turned down (on your audio system),

power on your entire mobile audio system and then turn
on Drive + Play by pressing the (bottom) Play/Pause
Button. If everything is operating correctly, the iPod
screen will display the following message:

OK to disconnect.

2. Drive + Play’s Text Display will show the Harman Kardon

splash screen first, followed by the Now Playing screen.
What the Now Playing screen displays next depends on the
following conditions:

•

Drive + Play will tell your iPod to play the same selection
as when it was last turned off. If you plugged your iPod
into Drive + Play while it was playing, Drive + Play will tell
the iPod to play the current song without interruption.  

•

However, if nothing was playing when your iPod was last
turned off or when it was plugged in, Drive + Play will tell
the iPod to begin playing the first song in its Songs data-
base.

Setting Language 

As the default, the Text Display shows current iPod informa-
tion in English. You can set a different language as follows:  

•

Drive + Play Menu > Settings > Language > select a desired
language.

•
