"You may have observed that the HK 3485 is not equipped with digital audio inputs or surround sound decoding. If you prefer the complete home theater experience, you may wish to consider purchasing a fullfeatured Harman Kardon AVR Series audio/video receiver. However, we hope you will find that using a DVD player with the HK 3485 in smaller settings, such as a bedroom or den, surpasses the audio performance of most televisions, including those with onboard stereo speakers."

Jan 6, 2008 - Author, Topic: Question about Fiber Optic Mitford Snowman ... This year, I replaced the bulb (found at a Christmas store) and it worked for ... some of the non-Keepsake ornaments so I went on a little Hallmark shopping spree!
Fiber Obtics is activated all the time on most units. take a look at the fiber connector, if you push the little door on the connector and look in side you should see a fiber optic light glowing red. If not there is a problem with the units Digital.
1. Connect the digital input(optical) on the product to the Digital output of the external digital componet.
2. Press the FUNCTION button to select D.IN input.
* The mode switches as follows: BD/DVD -D.IN-ONLINE-HDMI 1-HDMI-2-FM.
Verify the media you're playing is coded for 5.1 surround (bluray or DVD with 5.1).
If it is, you'll need to go into the sound settings and go through all the settings in there for your sound card, to be sure it will push the appropriate codec (5.1, 7.1, stereo, mono, etc.) out the output.
Verify you are pushing the sound through either an HDMI cable, digital coax cable, or fiber optic cable. Regular RCA jacks will only push stereo (2 speaker).
I couldn't get all my speakers to kick on through my Harman/Kardon until I made my PC force Dolby Digital through the fiber optic cable.
You probably have to select the optical input from the menu for sources of your component connection. Most receivers allow you to select optical, coax, or plain PCM right/left audio.
you will likely have to access the harmon kardon setup menu and direct the fiber input you are using toward the video or audio source selection which is being utilized along with it
You have to configure your DTV input to use optical audio instead of analog dtv audio (red/white plugs). Input assignment should be described in the manual. Come back to me if you have still problems with it.
did you figure it out? I bet your problem is the same as mine NOT HDCP complitant.... its gettting a signal from the bluray that can not be accepted... research HDCP compliant... my ONKYO does the same thing...
What port do you have the HDMI from you BD player into on the 510. If you have it on the DVD port then fiber optic will do you no good, the DVD HDMI only supports digital coax, the Video2 HDMI only accepts fiber optic, and there is an extra fiber optic for the Sat input. If your BD player does not have digital coax out, or if you dont want to buy another cable, just move the HDMI from DVD to Video2 on the 510. I am willing to bet you have the BD player plugged into the DVD HDMI port and the fiber optic cable from you BD player to the Video2 fiber input.
