GLOSSARY
Resume: The Stop Button on the DMC 1000 works differently from a
CD player. 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 DMC 1000, 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.
For DVDs, CDs, MP3 files, JPEG files and VCDs with PBC (Playback
Control) only, the resume function will be retained even after the
DMC 1000 has been placed in Standby mode by pressing the
Standby/On Switch, but not after the unit has been unplugged
from AC power.
The Resume function is not available while playing content from the
Media Library.
Server: A server is a computer device with a large amount of storage
that delivers content to other devices. The DMC 1000 may be accessed
as a server from a home network when appropriate devices are connected.
When placed in Server Mode, the DMC 1000 may still be used as a server,
even though its four zones are inactive.
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.
Zone: A zone is a section of a multizone system in which all loudspeakers
in the zone play the same source program. By connecting the DMC 1000’s
audio outputs for a specific zone to a multichannel amplifier, you may
include a number of loudspeakers in a variety of room locations within the
zone. Example:A four-channel amplifier connected to the Zone 2 Outputs
may power a pair of speakers in the living room and a stereo ceiling
speaker in the connected dining room, so that you and your guests may
enjoy the same program anywhere within the zone.
