Quick-Start Guide Audio/video receiver BDS 275/BDS 277/BDS 575/BDS 577 FPO BDS X75 BDS 2 Introduction and Connections Thank you for choosing a Harman Kardon ® product! This quick-start guide contains all the information you need to connect and set up your new BDS Blu-ray Disc ™ receiver. To conserve our natural resources, your BDS receiver does not include a printed owner’s manual. An owner’s manual containing complete information about operating all of your new Blu-ray Disc receiver’s features is available at our Web site. Go to www. harmankardon.com and download the BDS Blu-ray Disc Receiver Owner’s Manual. Your BDS receiver is designed to be compatible with region management information that is encoded on most Blu-ray Disc recordings and DVD recordings. Your receiver will only play discs that contain region coding for the area where your receiver was shipped and intended for sale: Area Where SoldBlu-ray Disc Region Code DVD Region Code USA, Canada Europe, Middle East Korea, S.E. Asia Mexico, Latin America Australia, New Zeland Russia, India China For example, BDS receivers shipped to and sold in the USA will only play Blu-ray Discs that contain region code A and DVD discs that contain region code 1. Connections Connect the Satellite Speakers CAUTION: Before making any connections to the BDS receiver, ensure that the receiver’s AC cord is unplugged from the receiver and the AC outlet. Making speaker connections with the receiver plugged in and turned on could damage your speakers. Speakers and receivers have corresponding (+) and (–) connection terminals.

Having the subject information easily available to "competition" would negate the advantage they have achieved by developing this product. Not protecting the details of the design will result in financial hardship. Permanent Confidentiality: The applicant requests the exhibits listed above as permanently confidential be permanently withheld from public review due to materials that contain trade secrets and proprietary information not customarily released to the public. Short-Term Confidentiality: The applicant requests the exhibits selected above as short term confidential be withheld from public view for a period of __45_ _ days from the date of the Grant of Equipment Authorization and prior to marketing. This is to avoid premature release of sensitive information prior to marketing or release of the product to the public. Applicant is also aware that they are responsible to notify ACB in the event information regarding the product or the product is made available to the public. ACB will then release the documents listed above for public disclosure pursuant to FCC Public Notice DA 04-1705. NOTE for Industry Canada Applications: The applicant understands that until such time that IC distinguishes between Short Term and Permanent Confidentiality, either type of marked exhibit above will simply be marked Confidential when submitted to IC. Sincerely, By: __________________________ ____ Fernando Reyes_____ (Signature/Title 3 ) (Print name) 2 - The asterisked items (*) require further justification before permanent confidentiality will be allowed. These also currently require review by the FCC under their Permit-But-Ask policy before the grant is issued and can delay completion of an application. Further justification should be added to the note above. One such example for a potted device would be: “The EUT is FULLY potted using a non-removable epoxy based material. Removal of potting material causes irreparable damage to internal circuitry. See photographs exhibits that outline the device before and after potting.” 3 - Must be signed by applicant contact given for applicant on the FCC site, or by the authorized agent if an appropriate

RF Exposure Info

RF Exposure Compliance Requirement 1. Standard requirement 15.247(b)(4) requirement: (4) The conducted output power limit specified in paragraph (b) of this section is based on the use of antennas with directional gains that do not exceed 6 dBi. Except as shown in paragraph (c) of this section. if transmitting antennas of directional gain greater than 6 dBi are used. the conducted output power from the intentional radiator shall be reduced below the stated values in paragraphs (b)(1). (b)(2). and (b)(3) of this section. as appropriate. by the amount in dB that the directional gain of the antenna exceeds 6 dBi. TCB Exclusion List (7 July 2002) Exposure category low threshold high threshold general population (60/fGHz) mW. d < 2.5 cm (120/fGHz) mW. d ≥ 2.5 cm (900/fGHz) mW. d < 20 cm occupational (375/fGHz) mW. d < 2.5 cm (900/fGHz) mW. d ≥ 2.5 cm (2250/fGHz) mW. d < 20 cm When d>20cm,the EUT should mark the recommend use distance for EUT external antenna and the MPE=1mW/cm 2 . 2. EUT RF Exposure The Max Conducted Peak Output Power is 16.71 dBm(46.88mW) in channel 6; The best case gain of the antenna is 3.0dBi. 3.0dB logarithmic terms convert to numeric result is nearly 2.0 According to the formula. calculate the EIRP test result: EIRP= P x G = 46.88 mW x 2.0 = 93.76mW S=1mW/cm 2 So , R= S PG 4 = 1000014.34 0.246.88   = 2.73cm So the recommend use distance for EUT external antenna is larger than 2.73 centimeter.
