Products!
In the years since harman kardon engineers invented the high-fidelity receiver, we have
taken to heart this philosophy: Bringing the joy of home entertainment to as many people
as possible, adding performance and ease-of-use features that enhance the experience.
The BDS series of home entertainment systems offers a complete home entertainment
solution with a wealth of listening and viewing options in one sleek receiver. Each BDS
series system also includes a 5.1-channel, 2.1-channel or soundbar loudspeaker system,
a system remote control and all the cables and accessories you need to enjoy movies and
music in your own home, when you use them with your television or video display.
To get the maximum enjoyment from your new BDS system, we urge you to read this
manual thoroughly and refer back to it as you become more familiar with your new
system’s features and their operation.
If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation, please contact
your retailer or custom installer, or visit our Web site at www.harmankardon.com.
Verify Line Voltage Before Using
Your BDS receiver has been designed for use with 110 – 240-volt, 50Hz/60Hz AC current.
Your subwoofer has been designed for use with either 120-volt, 60Hz or 220 – 240-volt,
50/60Hz AC current, depending on where your system was sold. The receiver includes a
detachable IEC power cable designed for use in the region where the system is sold.
Connection to a line voltage other than that for which the units are intended can create
a safety and fire hazard and may damage the units. If you have any questions about
the voltage requirements for your specific model or about the line voltage in your area,
contact your dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.
Unpacking
The carton and shipping materials used to protect your new player during shipment were
specially designed to cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest that you save the
carton and packing materials for use in shipping if you move or if the unit ever needs
repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may wish to flatten it. You can do it by
carefully slitting the tape seams on the carton’s bottom and collapsing it. You can store
cardboard inserts in the same manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed should
be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.
If you do not wish to save the packaging materials, please note that the carton and
other sections of the shipping-protection materials are recyclable. Please respect the
environment and discard those materials at a local recycling center.
Remove the protective plastic film from the front-panel lens. Leaving the film in place will
affect the performance of your remote control.
Installation Location
To ensure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the s
unit on a firm and level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain that the
shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the product.
Provide proper space both above and below the unit for ventilation. If this product will s
be installed in a cabinet or other enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient
air movement within the area. Under some circumstances, a fan may be required.
Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted surface. s
Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations or in an area that is exposed to s
direct sunlight or heating equipment.
Avoid moist or humid locations. s
Do not obstruct the fan vents on the rear panel or the ventilation slots on the top and s
sides of the unit or place objects directly over or next to them.
Do not place the receiver directly on top of a product that generates excessive s
heat.
Due to the heat generated by the receiver and other components in your system, s
there is the remote possibility that the rubber padding on the bottom of the unit’s
feet may leave marks on certain wood or wood-veneer materials. Use caution when
placing the unit on soft woods or other materials that heat or heavy objects may
damage. Some surface finishes may be particularly sensitive to absorbing such
marks, due to a variety of factors beyond harman kardon control, including the
nature of the finish, cleaning materials used, normal heat and vibration caused by
the use of the product, or other factors. Your warranty will not cover this type of
damage to furniture, so exercise caution in choosing an installation location for the
component and in performing normal maintenance practices.

Cleaning
Receiver
When the receiver gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, and only
after unplugging the AC power cord, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy
water, then a fresh cloth with clean water. Wipe it dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER
use benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do
not use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid spraying
insecticide near the unit.
Speakers and Subwoofer
When needed, use a soft cloth to remove any fingerprints or dust from the enclosures or
grilles. NOTE: Do not use any cleaning products or polishes on the enclosures or grilles.
Moving the Receiver
Before moving the receiver, disconnect any interconnection cords to other components,
and disconnect the unit from its AC outlet.
NOTE: The built-in Blu-ray Disc/DVD player in your BDS receiver is designed
and manufactured for compatibility with region management information that is
encoded on most Blu-ray Disc recordings and DVD recordings:
BDS receivers sold in the USA s are designed only for playback of discs
with Blu-Ray Disc Region Code A and DVD Region Code 1 information, or
for discs that do not contain any region code information.
BDS receivers sold in Europe s are designed only for playback of discs with
Blu-ray Disc Region Code B and DVD Region Code 2 information, or for
discs that do not contain region code information.
If there is a region code on a disc other than the one your BDS player is designed
for, it will not play in your BDS receiver.
