INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the Harman Kardon

DVD 47. The DVD 47 is a state-of-the-art optical disc

player that can play almost every music, movie and

still-image disc in your library with the highest fidelity

available today. Along with playback of conventional

DVD movie discs and audio CDs, the DVD 47 lets

you enjoy the latest high-resolution DVD-Audio and

SACD

™

discs, with HDMI

™

(High-Definition Multimedia

Interface

™

) output of pure, uncompressed digital audio

and video that showcases your favorite movies and

music as you’ve never seen them before.

A virtually universal player, the DVD 47 can also play

files recorded on a computer’s optical drive in the

MP3 or Windows Media

formats, CD-R/RW discs,

DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW discs and VCD pro-

grams, and still images recorded in the JPEG format.

Regardless of a disc’s format, the DVD 47’s video

and audio playback is of the highest quality, thanks

to pixel-by-pixel video processing and true 3/2 pull-

down reconstruction of film-based programming. When

used with an HDMI-compatible audio/video receiver

and video display, the program quality is preserved.

By passing an uncompressed signal, degradation is

virtually nonexistent. And the single-cable connection

eliminates the problem of wire management.

If you have not yet upgraded to an HDMI video dis-

play, you may still enjoy pristine picture quality with

the DVD 47’s precision video DACs, which output a

Y/Pr/Pb progressive-scan component signal and

composite and S-video. Thus, no matter what type of

video display used, you will see images that are the

closest thing to the original film or performance this

side of your local theater. To further fine-tune the video

output, a built-in test pattern may be used in conjunc-

tion with either the controls on your display, or the

video output adjustments on the DVD 47.

In keeping with its 50-year tradition as a leader in

audio technology, Harman Kardon has loaded the

DVD 47 with cutting-edge features. In addition to both

optical and coaxial digital outputs for Dolby

Digital,

DTS

or PCM recordings, the analog outputs for

down-mixed stereo or DVD-Audio and SACD playback

use audiophile-grade digital-to-analog converters for

crystal-clear outputs.

The DVD 47’s exclusive graphical interface makes it

easy to get started, simplifying setup and configuration

adjustments. During playback, the on-screen menus

allow a wide range of program options. Additional

menu options provide a full range of parental control

features to control which discs may be viewed by

younger members of the household, as well as a

complete status screen which provides the technical

details on the disc being played.

DVD players are the fastest growing consumer

electronics products ever brought to market, so

this may be the first DVD player you own, or a

replacement for an early-generation machine. In

either case, while some of the DVD 47’s features

and options resemble those of a CD player or your

first DVD player, there are likely to be a number of

functions that you are unfamiliar with. To ensure that

you are able to take advantage of all the power and

flexibility the DVD 47 has to offer, we encourage you

to take a few minutes to review this manual before

installing the DVD 47. That small investment of time

will pay major dividends in the enjoyment you will

receive by being able to use all the capabilities of your

new DVD player.

If you have additional questions about this product, its

installation or its operation that are not answered in

this manual, please contact your dealer or installer,

as he/she is your best source of local information.
