Connecting the AC Power
The BDS system comes with a detachable AC power cord. This type of cord makes it
easier for you to install and connect all other system wiring to the system’s rear panel.
NOTE:
• The power requirement for the BDS system is 100V – 240V AC,
50/60Hz, 120W (BDS 580S system) or 90W (BDS 280S system).
• Before connecting the AC power cord to a wall outlet, confirm that
you have correctly made all of the speaker connections, video con-
nections and audio component connections.
Connect the female end of the system’s detachable power cord to the rear panel AC
Power input. Plug the other end into a working, unswitched AC outlet.

Connecting Headphones
Your BDS system’s headphone connection accepts a standard 1/8-inch (3.5mm) stereo
headphone plug. When you insert the headphone plug into the connector, the system’s
speaker outputs will mute; the HDMI audio output to the TV will not mute.
When headphones are connected to the system’s Headphone jack, pressing the remote’s
Surround button cycles between these two modes:
• Harman Headphone, which virtualizes a multichannel surround soundtrack
down to two channels. This mode retains the soundtrack’s original
directional cues, allowing you to enjoy an enveloping surround-sound
experience on any ordinary pair of stereo headphones.
• Headphone Bypass, which down mixes surround-sound programs into
normal stereo. This mode does not retain any multichannel directional cues
that may be in the original surround-sound program.
