1. Main Power switch
: This mechanical switch turns the BDS system’s power supply
ON or OFF. After you have made and verified all connections, set this switch to the ON
position. During normal use, you will usually leave this switch set to ON; it cannot be
turned ON or OFF using the remote control. To conserve energy when you are not using
the system for an extended period of time, set this switch to OFF.
2. Speaker outputs
: Use the speaker wires supplied with the speakers to connect the
speakers to the proper terminals.
• The BDS 335 system has three outputs for left and right speakers and
subwoofer.
• The BDS 635 system has six outputs for center, front left, front right, sur-
round left, surround right speakers and subwoofer.
3. Aux 1 input and Aux 2 input
: Use these connectors to connect to an audio source
device (such as a tape deck). Do not connect a turntable to these connectors without a
phono preamp.
4. Aux Output (optional HK Adapt):
Use this to connect to an optional Harman
Kardon Adapt. This will enable anything playing on your BDS reciever to be sent to
other Harman Kardon Wireless speakers like an Omni 10 or 20. ( See page 19 for more
information.)
5. Wi-Fi Antenna
: Connect the antenna accessory labeled Wi-Fi
here for improved
Wi-Fi reception.
6. FM radio antenna input
: Connect the supplied FM antenna to this terminal.
7. Coaxial Audio Input
: Connect the coaxial digital output of an audio source
component here. The signal may be a Dolby Digital bitstream, a DTS bitstream or a
standard PCM digital-audio bitstream.
8. Optical Audio Output (for optional HK Adapt)
: Use this to connect to an optional
Harman Kardon Adapt. This will enable anything playing on your BDS reciever to be sent
to other Harman Kardon Wireless speakers like an Omni 10 or 20. ( See page 19 for more
information.)
9. Optical Audio Input
: Connect the optical digital output of an audio source
component here. The signal may be a Dolby Digital, DTS® or standard PCM digital audio.
10. HDMI Output (ARC)
: Connect the BDS system’s HDMI output to your TV’s HDMI
input. If your TV is 3D capable, then you can watch 3D content in 3D either from the BDS
system’s built-in disc player or from other 3D-capable source devices connected to the
BDS system’s HDMI Input connectors (see below). The system’s HDMI output connection
also contains an Audio Return Channel (ARC) that carries a digital audio signal from
your TV or video display back to the BDS. It allows you to listen to HDMI devices that are
connected directly to your TV (such as a digital TV tuner) without making an additional
connection from the device to the BDS system.
NOTE: You must enable the ARC output of your TV. Consult your TV’s instruc-
tion manual for information.

HDMI 2 input:
You can connect up to two additional source devices to the BDS
system provided the source devices have HDMI connectors. The HDMI connection
transmits digital audio and video signals between devices, so you do not have to
make any additional audio connections for devices you want to connect via an HDMI
connector. The BDS system will pass 4K and 3D video signals from 3D capable HDMI
source devices to the TV via the HDMI output connector.

HDMI 1 input:
You can connect up to two additional source devices to the BDS
system provided the source devices have HDMI connectors. The HDMI connection
transmits digital audio and video signals between devices, so you do not have to
make any additional audio connections for devices you want to connect via an HDMI
connector. The BDS system will pass 4K and 3D video signals from 3D capable HDMI
source devices to the TV via the HDMI output connector.
13. Wired network (RJ-45) input
: Use a Cat. 5 or Cat. 5E cable (not supplied) to
connect the BDS system’s Network connector to your home network to enjoy content
from DLNA and streaming services, as well as control from the Harman Kardon Remote
app for iOS and Android. Additionally, system upgrades can be downloaded and
installed from compatible devices that are joined to the network.
14.
USB input
: You can use the USB port to play MP3 and WMA audio files and show
video and picture files from a USB device inserted into the port. Insert the connector
or device into the USB port oriented so it fits all the way into the port. You may insert
or remove the connector or device at any time - there is no installation or ejection
procedure. You can also use the USB port to perform firmware upgrades. If an upgrade
for the BDS operating system is released in the future, you will be able to download it
to the BDS system using this port. Complete instructions will be provided at that time.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect a PC or other USB host/controller to this port, or
you may damage both the BDS system and the other device.
NOTE: Both front and rear USB ports are rated at 1A and it is certified to
charge iPhone and iPod devices.
