FRONT-PANEL Controls

IMPORTANT NOTE: The DMC 1000’s front-panel controls use advanced touch-sensitive technology. To use the front panel, place a finger over any of the illuminated icons. A gentle tap is all that is necessary. Wait a few seconds for the DMC 1000 to process each command. To remove fingerprints, wipe the front panel with a dry microfiber cloth.

Power: When the DMC 1000 is connected to an AC power source and the rear-panel Master Power Switch is on, this control will indicate one of four power states:

•Full-Off Mode (dim blue) – The DMC 1000, including its hard-disc drive, is fully powered down.

•Sleep (Standby) Mode (amber) – The DMC 1000 will not respond to any commands other than to power on.

•Server Mode (amber) – The DMC 1000 may be controlled via

the RS-232 Port or the Network Connection, but the on-screen menu system is off.

•Full-Power Mode (bright blue) – The DMC 1000 operates normally.

The description of each mode and the DMC 1000’s response to the power controls is shown in Table A7 in the Appendix.

Remote IR Sensor: This sensor receives infrared commands from the remote control. Make sure that it is not blocked, although an optional IR sensor such as the Harman Kardon HE 1000 may be connected to serve as an external sensor when the unit is located in a different room, installed behind cabinet doors or when the sensor is otherwise blocked. For best results, always point your remote control at the DMC 1000’s front panel.

Message Display: Various status messages appear in the two-line text display. When content is playing, the track queue information and running time appear in the upper line and identification data appears

in the lower line. A variety of other indicators will light at various times to display the current playback mode, video settings or other aspects of the DMC 1000’s status.
