Harman Kardon DRIVE + PLAY [HK-DP1EU] User Manual Download

Page: 9 / 12

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 Drive + Play, you’ll
need to set it up for the first time. After you perform the Initial
Setup using the Settings Menu, controlling your iPod with
Drive + Play will be easy and intuitive.

To make selections on the Text Display, 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
value 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.

Locating an Optimum FM Frequency

Drive + Play provides five preset FM frequencies (88.1, 88.3,
88.5, 88.7, or 88.9MHz) for your convenience. Depending on
where you’ll use Drive + Play, a preset frequency may provide
satisfactory operation. For the best performance, follow these
steps to locate an optimum FM frequency:

1. Turn on your vehicle’s radio and search for an available FM

channel (one where you hear only low-level static or an
existing weak station).

2. If the channel matches a Drive + Play’s preset frequency,

you will need to select it in the preset

FM frequency

in the next section.

3. If it does not match a Drive + Play’s preset frequency, you

will need to set this frequency in the

Custom FM Frequency

menu in the next section.

4. Add your chosen frequency to your radio’s memory for

easy recall.

NOTE: The performance of the chosen FM frequency may vary
by location. If you drive far from home, you may want to
choose several frequencies that work well in different areas by
adding them to your radio’s memory for easy recall.

Setting FM Transmission

FM Settings can be accessed from the Main Menu or later
within the Settings Menu.

•

To turn FM Transmission on or off:

Drive + Play Menu > FM Settings > FM Transmitter> select On
(default) or Off.

•

To change the preset FM Frequency:

Drive + Play Menu > FM Settings > FM Frequency > select
88.1 (default), 88.3, 88.5, 88.7, 88.9 or Custom (default =
88.7 MHz or last setting).

NOTE: If the preset FM frequencies are already assigned to
FM stations in your listening area, then use Custom FM
Frequency (below) to select an unused frequency.
The default setting is 88,7 MHz.
