INTRODUCTION 3 Introduction Thank you for choosing the Harman Kardon DMC 1000 The DMC 1000 merges a high-end DVD player, including upscaling to 1080p with an HDMI™ output, with a media server capable of storing up to 60,000 songs on its 250Gb hard drive. Simultaneous playback of different tracks is possi- ble in up to four zones, or you may link any or all of the zones to each other. Thanks to Gracenote® MusicID,®* all content recorded from a CD to the DMC 1000s hard drive is identified by album name, artist and genre, with additional information to show the title of each track. Even better, for most popular albums, the DMC 1000 will display the cover art when connected to the Internet. The content is automatically organized by the identification fields and by the cover, and you may select it and program playlists to suit any mood or occasion. The graphical presentation of system content is available in both high-definition and standard- definition outputs, for crisp, easy-to-read displays on any video screen. To enable you to get the maximum quality from DVDs, the DVD is equipped with the latest in design techniques, including advanced 10-bit video digital-to-analog converters (DAC) and Video (composite), S-Video and RGB video (RGB via SCART) outputs, to ensure that you get all the quality inherent in todays DVD medium. For optimum playback of NTSC and PAL DVD with compatible high-definition display devices, DVD is equipped with progressive component video outputs. When used with an HDMI-compatible audio/video receiver and video display, the pro- gram 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 display, you may still enjoy pristine picture quality with the DMC 1000s precision video DACs, which output a Y/Pr/Pb progressive-scan compo- nent 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. When playing audio CDs, the playback quality is state-of-the-art, matching that of the finest play- ers available. In addition to DVD and CD playback, the DMC 1000 offers audio and still-image playback from both solid-state media cards and USB drives. You can even record analog sources such as your old tapes, cassettes and even vinyl records (with an optional, external phono preamp) to store virtual- ly any audio content for instant playback. And the DMC 1000 allows content to be transferred from the hard drive to the memory cards or a USB drive, or even a recordable CD. This flexibility letsyou take your music with you in a wide range of portable players, or in your car. Additional features of the DMC 1000 include iPod audio playback through Harman Kardons optional The Bridge accessory, with charging and navigation available to any zone in your system. System control options include the units backlit remote, optional external IR sensor/receivers, RS- 232-based control for popular home automation systems, custom-programmed home network control and even wireless control through a Windows Mobile®-based PDA when an optional wireless bridge is connected.
