Standby/On Switch:
This electrical switch turns the DVD 48 on
for playback, or leaves it in Standby mode for quick turn-on using this
switch or the remote control.
Power Indicator:
This LED is next to the Standby/On Switch. When
the DVD 48 is plugged into AC power, the LED turns amber to indicate
that the DVD 48 is in Standby mode (ready to be turned on). When the
DVD 48 is turned on (by pressing the Standby/On Switch), the LED
turns blue. If this LED ever turns red, immediately unplug the DVD 48.
Check the wire connections. If the LED remains red, bring the DVD 48
to an authorized Harman Kardon service provider.
Open/Close:
Press this button to open or close the disc drawer.
When the DVD 48 is in Standby mode, press this button to turn it on
and open the drawer. Before pressing this button, always make sure
that no objects are blocking the drawer. Remember to close the door
or turn off the DVD 48 when you have finished. The door will close
automatically after two and a half minutes.
Message Display:
Various messages appear in this display
in response to commands. In addition, a variety of indicators will
light at various times to display the current playback mode, video
settings or other aspects of the DVD 48’s status.
Disc Drawer:
This drawer holds a disc that is played in the DVD 48.
Press the Open/Close Button to access it. Be sure to carefully seat all
discs in the recess in the drawer tray. To avoid damaging the drawer
accidentally, do not press down on it when open. The drawer will close
automatically after two and a half minutes of inactivity to prevent dust
or dirt from entering the DVD 48 and to prevent damage. If a disc is
present, it will begin playing.
Play:
Press to start playback of a loaded disc, or to resume play after
the disc has been paused.
Pause:
Press to pause play, or to resume after play has been momen-
tarily paused. When a DVD is playing, a still image of the frozen action
will appear on-screen. In Pause mode, you may access the Frame-by-
Frame Advance and Slow Search functions by pressing the forward or
reverse Step or Skip Buttons on the remote.
Stop:
Press once to stop play and enter Resume mode, in which
pressing Play resumes playback from the point at which it was stopped.
Press this button twice to fully stop play of the disc. Resume mode is
not available for WMA files or VCDs without playback control.
Skip/Search Reverse:
Press once to return to the beginning of
the current chapter or track. Quickly press again to skip to previous
chapters or tracks. Press and hold for fast search reverse within the
current chapter or track at the speed indicated on screen.
Skip/Search Forward:
Each press advances to the next chapter
or track. Press and hold for fast search forward within the current
chapter or track at the speed indicated on-screen.
Remote IR Sensor:
This sensor receives infrared commands from
the remote control. It is important to ensure that it is not blocked. If
covering the sensor is unavoidable, such as when the DVD 48 is placed
inside a cabinet, you may use an optional Harman Kardon HE 1000,
or other infrared receiver, connecting it to the Remote IR Input on the
DVD 48’s rear panel. Alternatively, connect the Remote IR Output of
another compatible component, such as a Harman Kardon AVR, to
the DVD 48’s Remote IR Input. Point the remote at the other device’s
remote sensor, and the command will be transmitted to the DVD 48.
An external IR “blaster” may also be used, positioned to point at this area.
Dimmer:
Some people find the front-panel display distracting,
especially while watching a movie. Each press of this button cycles
through the front-panel brightness options of Full Brightness, Half
Brightness and Off. The Power Indicator always remains lit to remind
you that the DVD 48 is turned on, but the display will remain dimmed
or off, even when a command is entered. Dimming is canceled when
the DVD 48 is turned off.
Open/Close:
Press this button to open or close the disc drawer.
