The Bridge - Harman Kardon

Here is my problem that I have submitted to Harman Kardon:
"I have an AVR 347 coupled with The Bridge. I have an IPOD Classic 80GB
(photo and video playback capable) but when i use it with the bridge,
photos and videos are not playing back on my TV. The TV out on the Ipod
is set to "enable". I use the avr for playback of all my other video
sources. Can you help me?"
Here is the answer:
"Hi,
This is a problem created by Apple. They have put specific
chips in the new iPods that block video transfer. This was done to
quell the rampant fabrication of "illegal" docking stations. HK has yet
to receive confirmation to use the proper reading chip to allow this
function. Unfortunately right not there is nothing that can be done
until Apple gives HK this information."
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Does anyone have the wiring configuration of the iPod connector and details on how to modify an older one so that the power coming from the device goes to the USB pin? I also have a BMW connector and I know the company isn't going to update their cables, so I figured I could just cut the wire and reroute the power wire to the correct pin if I knew which wire did what.
You will have to add a voltage regulator to reduce the voltage on the FireWire pin to 5 volts before connecting it to the USB power pin. Devices designed to charge from FireWire can handle higher voltages, such as 12 volts from a car. USB uses 5 volts, so 12 volts might damage devices designed to charge from USB.

  • Harman Kardon Soundsticks II 2.1 speakers

    Hi!
    It's my birthday soon and i want to get some speakers for my ipod. What i would like to know is do the speakers, Harman Kardon Soundsticks II 2.1 speakers, have to be plugged into a computer to be used? Can i just buy an ipod dock and plug that into the speakers? That's what i really want to do with them. Thanks!

  • Harman Kardon Soundsticks not sounding with new iMac

    I have the original Harman Kardon Soundsticks, which have worked beautifully since the early 2000s, till this new iMac - they're not showing up as an output source in Sound Preference.  I've contacted both Applecare Support - no idea - and Harman Kardon - Apple isn't supplying the drivers anymore.  The thing is, they played just fine with the older iMac just replaced, which was running MacOS 10.7.2.  Drivers are software, right?  Were they just dropped from the OS with this last update, or is there a hardware issue?  The older iMac was a 24", Intel, that I bought in April, 2007.
    Anyway, this is very disappointing since the Soundsticks have excellent sound and still work.
    Is there a way to get the drivers, or is there also a hardware component?
    Thanks!

    Ok, here's what happened in the end.  As I was dismantling the Soundsticks system from my computer and desk area, I discovered that the plug going into the Harmon Kardon power block from the electrical plug was loose.  Aha !!!!  I realized - loose plug!  Let's try again.  And, I did, after ensuring that all other plugs were also snug in their sockets.  And, yes, the Soundsticks have been doing just fine ever since : )
    Ok, re. plugs.  There's a cord that runs from the subwoofer to the power block, and it's solid.  Then on the other end of the block is a cable that plugs into the block on one end and the wall on the other.  It was the plug into the block that was lose, and I didn't realize it ' cause it was under the desk, nor did I recall that it could separate from the block.
    I was so thankful that the solution ended up being so simple!  . . . and so glad to be able to continue to use that sound system.

  • Problem Faint sound x205-SLi1 (every x205) on windows 7. harman/kardon 4.1 (drivers)

    I have a problem with sound in my x205-sli1 but the same (harman kardon speaker 4.1) are in evry x205 model. I had a win XP and sound was pure and spacious. After format I instaled windows 7 i instaled new Realtek Audio Drivers for WIndows 7 and sound isnt as good as it was. I seems that work only 2 bigest sperakers. Suboofer and Two other smal speaker seems not working.
    i am not alone becasuse a fount this post :"
    Last night I finished my upgrade to Windows 7, Ran the Official "Toshiba Software Installer for WIndows 7" and was initially pleased to see that nearly all my original Laptop funcaionality, from my Card Reader, to my Fingerprint scanner worked without an issue.
    This joy though was soon crushed the momment I went on youtube, and experianced my computers "New" audio fidelity.
    My Laptop came with built in Harman Kardon 4.1 speakers, and I have always been complimented by friends at how rich my sound quality was compared to other laptops they had seen.
    Now it seems that the currently most updated Realtek Audio Drivers for WIndows 7 (And for that matter Vista and XP aswell, I've tried everything) do not seem to be able to do more than just basic stero sound.
    Both my surround speakers and my Subwoofer seem to be completly ignored, and my computer now has a tinny sound to it that is rather offputting when compaired to it's previous preformance."
    PEOPLE PLEASE HELP BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS.

    I have the x205 S9810 and have noticed the same thing, Had Vista Prior with High Quality sound and then updated to Windows 7 with only Stereo. I have tried the Realtec drivers and the Toshiba Drivers and there is no diference really. I do know that the Microsoft driver does not work with the built in mic at all. My Subwoofer and surrounds are not puting out any sound and in the speaker settings there is not any setting for adding the surrounds like there was in Vista. I hope someone at Toshiba can let us know what is being done about this issue soon.

    Nick,
    You will need a Windows PC with iTunes running and a working copy of Windows Media Player available on the machine.  (iTunes calls WMP for the conversion from WMA).  Then just drag the WMA file(s) into the iTunes Music window.
    iTunes will detect it and give you the dialog shown below, to which you choose "Convert."  iTunes will create a new version in the format/bitrate set in your Import preferences (MP3 in my example below), and immediately add it to your iTunes library.
    The WMA original will be left in place, so you can delete it if you have no other need for it.

  • Has any1 tried the Harman Kardon Drive + Play?

    Ok , i saw this on the apple store, i was wondering if any1 has tried it? I am almost at driving age and i am getting a new truck when i can drive and i want my nano to be incorpurated into it in a cool way. this looks cool, but i just dont know. in two years do u think it will come out with a color screen? and how does it work with the nano? Harman Kardon Drive + Play
    Nano 4GB black,Moto RAZR V3 black, PSP, all kinds of cases for nano,radio/remote   Windows XP   <img src="http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e13/superman5656/s.gif"align="right"</span>

    I installed the system into my 2006 Lexus IS250. There's a grounding issue with my car when an iPod is plugged into both the auxiliary port and the power (not involving the drive+play, but wanted to let people know). I solved the issue by buying "The Silencer" by Monster, which does a good job of cutting out the feedback. The system itself is pretty good. Yeah, there are some issues with finding songs; the spring-loaded twist knob pales in comparison to the iPod scroll wheel. But with my car, I can hide everything in my center console while seeing what songs I'm playing, which beats opening the console every time I want to change a song or pick a different playlist. I previously had an iJet RF remote control, but it just wasn't as good.
    The display is small enough that it can be optimally placed. You'll have to try it out for both that and the control knob.
    Note that if you do install this, software issues will require you to downgrade your iPod software to the 2004-11-15 update until Apple can fix the problem. Search the forums for my other post.
    You have to try out this system for yourself; you can get it at Circuit City and they have a 30-day return policy. Just install it by hand in your car (don't mount anything) and see if it works first. Then, if it does, get it professionally installed; otherwise, return it.

  • What accessory to use when connecting to Harman Kardon AVR

    Hi,
    we use a Harman Kardon AVR 145 for our audio at home. Please can anyone advise me what accessory to use for connecting the iPad? We have the bridge for our iPod, but that is no good of course. Please advise on a cable to use. Thanx!

    Sorry, but you'll have to either wait for someone owning that equipment to show up or for someone to take the time and trouble to look it up and see what sort of connection options are provided on it. Or, if you want to perhaps move the process on a bit more quickly, and seeing as how you have it right there, you could always provide that info.

  • New ipod touch and Harman Kardon boom box:

    New ipod touch and Harman Kardon boom box:
    I must say I am very disappointed that I cannot charge my ipod while playing music anymore.
    I had no problem with all other ipod generations. Can this somehow be fixed?
    While the Harmon Kardon boom box was posted on the apple web site as recommended. And Now???
    Has anyone information regarding this issue??

    I'm having a similar problem with my new touch 3rd gen, with a Sony clock/radio/docking model ICF-CL75iP.
    No sound coming out of the speakers, and no picture or video showing on the radio's LCD screen.
    Sony replied to me that it's intended to work with any ipod touch 1st and 2nd gen but not with 3rd generation. Whose fault it is? Wrong software from Sony or Apple?
    I guess I'll try to downgrade the firmware from 3.1.2 to the previous one. If not then I'm stuck

  • Harman kardon go +play

    i recently bought the harman kardon go + play, however i cannot get the s-video connection to work with my tv. the ipod is an 80gb classic and i have it set to video out, however it comes up with the error message "connect video accessory" and won't recognise the hk go + play when its connected, any ideas anyone ??

    The latest crop of iPods require an authentication chip in video cables. It sounds as if you have a device which doesn't meet these newer requirements.

  • Harman Kardon drive and play

    I have a harman kardon drive and play fitted to my car that works fine with all my older apple stuff. I am now in possession of later generation apple iPhone and iPod touch with a different plug. I have purchased an adaptor to interface the old type plug with a new plug, but it does not work with the harman kardon The adaptor works when i use through the computer via an old apple cable and an iPhone 5 with the later type plug.
    Any ideas how i could interface my new iPod touch through the HK Drive and play?

    Does anyone know if the Harman Kardon Drive and Play unit will work with the Iphone 3G.
    It does. Click here for more information.

  • Apple tv and harman kardon receiver?

    I just bought a new harman-kardon avr 247 receiver
    Problem is that when I hook up the apple tv to the hk via component video, it will only display the apple tv while rebooting? Have the avr going to my tv via hdmi which does work fine with my directv component setup?
    I also down sized the output from apple tv to 480i all the way to 1080i with same issue.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    If you have a component output then 480i should work. However, unless your TV has a 16:9 widescreen option all of the UI and videos will be distorted (people will look too tall and thin, etc.).
    My rear-projection TV supports 480i, 480p, and 1080i and it allows me to manually select the aspect ratio (either 4:3 or 16:9). If I select 4:3 on either the 480i or 480p settings the Apple TV works but I have the distortion as I previously described. However, you might want to do some searches on the internet to find a workaround for this issue (special test modes on the Apple TV).

  • Harman-kardon speakers and various loud noises( mac mini)

    My Harman-Kardon ball speakers, which have served me well from my old Cube days, are going loopy.
    They have been happily USB connected to my 17" studio display (and powered from it) Recently, I've been hearing clicking noises, which can turn to a very loud 'rushing' sound if the computer has been active for more than an hour. I know some have had software issues with their sound systems due to 10.4 updates, but none reported very loud sounds. I came home yesterday to what sounded like an apartment fire alarm, it was that loud, but it was only my 'sleeping' computer. The noise ended when I pulled out the USB.
    Could it be software? I don't want to buy new speakers if it might be. Or, time for knew speakers?-- if so, any advice? Happy New Year. Kevin

    While it may not be all that helpful, I had some issues with an Altec lansing speaker set on my G5, where background noise was abnormally high almost all the time, and from time to time there would be rushing noises which grew very loud. It turned out to be a faulty USB hub, even though the speakers were not USB connected.
    To troubleshoot your system, I would disconnect everything external bar the basic essentials, including any hubs or other devices, even the keyboard and mouse, and test the system that way. It would not be expected for software or MacOS itself to cause the sort of effects you describe.
