BDS Setting Up the Receiver
One T ouch Play: When this option is set to “On, ” pressing the Play button on the BDS
receiver when a Blu-ray Disc or DVD is inserted will automatically turn on a connected
TV and switch it to the input where the BDS receiver is connected. NOTE: The TV must
support HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).

mode will automatically place the connected BDS receiver into standby mode. NOTE: The
TV must support HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).
System Upgrade: Select this option when you want to install a firmware upgrade for your
BDS receiver that you’ve downloaded from a Harman Kardon W eb site or other Harman
Kardon source. Such an upgrade can be performed via a USB thumb drive, the Internet

NOTE: We recommend using a USB thumb drive or the Internet connection whenever
possible, as upgrading via a CD-ROM disc takes several times longer .

on page 15).

able to download additional content or other information via the Internet (through the BDS
receiver’ s Network connection) and onto a memory device inserted into the receiver’ s
USB port. This option lets you see how much space is available on the memory device,
and lets you delete previously-stored BD-Live content from the device. (See BD-Live
Interactivity , on page 23, for more details.)

NOTE: This procedure deletes all preset FM sta tion settings and restores the parental-
control password back to the factory default of 0000.
Language: This setting lets you set the Player Language for the Blu-ray Disc or DVD
player and the Disc Menus, the preferred audio language, and the preferred subtitle
language. NOTE: If the selected language is not available on the particular disc being
played, use the disc’ s menu to set the language from those available on the disc.

preferences. “Always Allow” allows downloading of BD-Live content whenever a disc
with BD-Live content is played. “Limit” allows downloading only if the disc is officially
BD-Live certified. “Prohibited” does not allow any BD-Live access.
Proxy Settings: “Disabled” bypasses any Proxy Host and Proxy Port settings and prevents
their selection. “Enabled” allows you to select and set the proxy host and proxy port if
your network requires a proxy setting. This option is for advanced users only and, in most
cases, should be left set to “Disabled.”
