GLOSSARY

about the material on the disc, such as languages, aspect ratios, subtitles,

number of titles and more. The slight delay while the contents of the

disc are read is normal.

Resume: The operation of the Stop Button on the HS 500 works

differently from what you are used to on CD players. On a traditional CD

player, when you press the Stop button, the unit does just that – it stops

playback. On a CD player, when you press the Start button again, the

disc starts from the beginning.

With the HS 500, however, you have two options when playing most

discs. Pressing the Stop Button once will stop the playback, but it actually

puts the unit in the Resume mode. This means that you can turn the

machine off and, when you press the Play Button the next time, the disc

will resume playback from the point on the disc where the Stop Button

was pressed. This is helpful if you are watching a movie and must

interrupt your viewing session but wish to pick up where you left off.

Pressing the Stop Button twice will stop the machine in a traditional

manner and, when the disc is played again, it will start from the begin-

ning. In Resume mode, the Harman Kardon screen will appear, and the

RESUME message will appear in the Information Display.

The resume function is not available for WMA files. For DVDs, CDs, MP3

files, JPEG files, and VCDs with PBC (Playback Control) only, the resume

function will be retained even after the HS 500 has been placed in

Standby mode by pressing the Standby/On Switch, but not after the unit

has been unplugged from AC power.

Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as an entire movie or program. There

may be as many chapters within a title as the producers decide to

include. Most discs include only one title, but some may have more than

one, to give you a “Double Feature” presentation or to include other

special features. Press the Title Button to see a listing of the titles on a

disc. When a disc has only one title, pressing the Title Button may show

a list of the chapters.

WMA Files: WMA (Windows Media

Audio) is an audio compression

format that was developed by the Microsoft

Corporation for use with its

Windows Media Player and other devices. WMA files can be even smaller

in size than MP3 files, while maintaining similar quality. The HS 500 is

capable of playing WMA files stored on a disc or USB device. Although

Windows Media Player uses other file formats, the HS 500 is only

capable of playing WMA files that end in the “.wma” extension.
