Features
Playback capability for CD-R, CD-RW, WMA,
JPEG, MP3, VCD/SVCD, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-
RW and DVD+RW discs may vary due to
variations in the quality of the disc and the
recorder used to create the disc.
The DMC 1000 is compatible with most discs
recorded with files encoded using MP3 or
Windows Media 8, as well as JPEG still
images. However, note that variations in the
encoder or codec used and the bit rate of the
encoding may affect the DMC 1000’s ability to
play back a specific disc. As a result, we
cannot guarantee complete compatibility with
all encoders and versions of the codecs. For
best results, we recommend that MP3 files be
encoded at bit rates ranging between 32kbps
and 320kbps. WMA files should be encoded at
bit rates between 64kbps and 320kbps.
Although the DMC 1000 is capable of playing
some WMA 9 files, not all features of
version 9 are supported. JPEG files should
contain no more than 5 megapixels, and the
file size should be no larger than 5Mb.
The DMC 1000 will NOT play the
following:
• DVD discs with a Region Code other than 2

USB Device Compatibility
Client USB devices, such as flash drives and most
external or some portable hard disc drives, may
be connected to the DMC 1000’s front or rear
panel's USB port.
Many recent-model still cameras may also be
connected directly to the DMC 1000 via USB. In
general, cameras or other USB devices that are
compatible with both Windows® and Macintosh
OS computers may also be used with the DMC
1000.
Do not connect a personal computer directly to
the DMC 1000. Due to their software design, the
iPod, most other USB peripheral devices and
accessories – such as card readers, keyboards
and pointing devices – and software-specific dig-
ital media players are not compatible with the
USB ports on the DMC 1000, even when placed
in disc mode. To enjoy audio materials stored on
your compatible iPod, dock it in The Bridge
(optional, and available from your Harman
Kardon dealer).
Gently insert the connector end of your USB
device into the USB Port, being careful to align
the device’s plastic tongue to slide into the gap
underneath the port’s plastic tongue. Remove the
device by pulling it out of the port.
