OPERATION

Basic Operation

Once you have completed the initial setup and configu- ration of the DPR 2005, it is simple to operate and enjoy. The following instructions will help you maximize the enjoyment of your new receiver:

Turning the DPR 2005 On or Off

•When using the DPR 2005 for the first time, you must press the Main Power Switch A to turn the unit

on. This places the unit in a Standby mode, as indi- cated by the Standby/On Indicator 1 turning amber.

Once the unit is in Standby, you may begin a listening session by pressing the Standby/On Button 2 on the front panel, or the Power On Button b or AVR Selector e∫ on the remote. This will turn the unit on and return the DPR to the input source that was last used. The unit may also be turned on from Standby by pressing any of the Input Selector

Buttons d ç∂ on the remote or the Input Source Selector Button 8 on the front panel.

Whenever the DPR is turned on, you will see all of the front-panel indicators light up for a few seconds. This is normal, and it is part of the unit’s power-on self test.

NOTE: After pressing one of the Input Selector

Buttons d ç∂ to turn the unit on, press the AVR Selector e∫ to set the remote control to the DPR 2005 functions.

To turn the unit off, simply press the Standby/On Switch 1 on the front panel or the Power Off Button aå on the remote. Power will be shut off to any equipment plugged into the rear-panel Switched AC Accessory Outlet d and the Standby/On Indicator 1 will turn amber.

When the remote is used to turn the unit “off,” it is actually placing the system in a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber lighting of the Standby/On Indicator 1.

• To program the DPR 2005 for automatic turn-off,

press the Sleep Button on the remote. Each press of the button will decrease the time before shut-down in the following sequence:

The sleep time will be displayed in the Lower Display Line & and it will count down until the time has elapsed.

The front-panel display will dim to half brightness when the Sleep function is programmed. To cancel the Sleep function, press and hold the Sleep Button until the information display returns to normal bright- ness; and the words SLEEP OFF will appear in

the Lower Display Line &. When the programmed sleep time has elapsed, the unit will turn off.

When you will be away from home for an extended period of time, it is always a good idea to turn the unit off with the front-panel Main Power Switch A.

NOTE: All preset memories are lost if the unit is left turned off by using the Main Power Switch A for more than four weeks.

Source Selection

•To select a source, press any of the Input Selector

Buttons d ç∂ on the remote.

•The input source may also be changed by pressing the front-panel Input Source Selector Button 8. Each press of the button will move the input selec- tion through the list of available inputs.

•When a new input is selected, the DPR will automati- cally switch to the digital input (if selected), surround mode, component video input, A/V Sync Delay and Night Mode configurations that were in effect the last time that input was used. If the BASS MGR line on the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Fig. 7) was set to INDEPENDENT, as described on page 26, the settings for speaker size will also change to the preset values.

•The front-panel Video 5 Inputs K, Optical Digital 3 Input H or the Coaxial Digital 3 Input J may be used to connect a device such as a video game or camcorder to your home entertainment system on a temporary basis.

•As the input source is changed, the new input name will appear momentarily as an on-screen display in the lower third of the video display. The input name will also appear in the Upper Display Line ^ and in the front-panel Input Indicators $.

•When an audio source is selected, the last video input used remains routed to the Video 1/Video 2 Outputs £∞ and Video Monitor Outputs •. This permits simultaneous viewing and listening to different sources.

•When a composite or S-Video source is selected, the

video signal for that input will be routed to the Video Monitor Output • and will be viewable on a TV monitor connected to the DPR 2005.

6-Channel/8-Channel Direct Input

•There are two input choices available for use with sources such as a DVD-Audio or SACD player that are connected to the 8-Channel Direct Inputs fi. Select the appropriate input for your system and source equipment:

■The 6 CH DVD AUDIO input should be used when the SBR and SBL inputs are not

in use. When this input is used, the analog source is converted to digital so that you may use the same bass-management options for the direct input as you do with all other outputs. This input also mutes the unused SBL and SBR input jacks to prevent unwanted noise from interfering with system performance.

■The 8 CH DVD AUDIO input should

be used when an input is connected to all eight

8-Channel Direct Inputs fi. When this input is in use, the analog source is converted to digital so that you may use the same Quadruple Crossover bass-management options for the direct input as you do with all other outputs.

Volume and Tone Control

•Adjust the volume to a comfortable level using the front-panel Volume Control # or remote Volume Up/Down Buttons r .

•To temporarily silence all speaker outputs, press the

Mute Button 33 . This will interrupt the out- put to all speakers and the headphone jack, but it will not affect any recording or dubbing that may be in progress. When the system is muted, the word MUTE will flash in the on-screen display and Upper Display Line ^, press the Mute Buttons

33 again to return to normal operation.

•The unit’s tone controls may be taken out of the

signal path by pressing the Tone Mode Button on

the front panel B or the remote . The first press of either button will show a message in the on-screen display and Lower Display Line & with the current status of the tone controls. The sys- tem default is TONE IN, which indicates that the bass and treble controls are active. Press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o on the remote or the ⁄/¤ Button ! on the front panel to change the setting to TONE OUT, which is “flat” response without the tone controls being active.

•When the tone controls are active, the bass and tre- ble boost/cut may be adjusted by first pressing the

Tone Mode Button on the front panel B or the

remote until the desired setting (BASS MODE or TREBLE MODE) appears in the on-screen display and the Lower Display Line &. Next, use the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o on the remote or the ⁄/¤ Button on the front panel ! to change the setting as desired. The unit will return to normal operation within five seconds after the setting is changed.

•For private listening, simply place a standard 1/4" stereo headphone plug or adaptor into the
