Harman-Kardon DPR 2005, 376 owner manual Tuner Operation, Tape Recording, Front-Panel Connections

OPERATION

•Some source devices, particularly cable set-top boxes, will switch back and forth between digital and analog audio outputs, depending on the channel being watched. To avoid losing sound with this type of product, it is recommended that you connect both the digital and analog audio outputs of the source to the DPR 2005, with the digital audio input set as the default following the steps shown on page 21. The DPR will monitor the digital data stream and when it is interrupted the sound will mute briefly and possibly display an UNLOCK message while it switches to the analog audio input. This switching is not a fault of either the DPR or the cable box, as it is caused by the use of different audio technologies on different channels by the cable company or program supplier.

•Although the DPR 2005 will decode virtually all current DVD movies, CDs and HDTV sources, it may not be compatible with future digital sources.

•When a digital source is playing, you may not be able to select some of the analog surround modes such as Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Hall, Theater or Logic 7.

•When a Dolby Digital or DTS source is playing,

it is not possible to make an analog recording using the Tape Outputs ⁄ and Video 1 or Video 2 Audio Outputs £∞. However, the digital signals will be passed through to the Digital Audio Outputs °·J.

Tuner Operation

The DPR 2005’s tuner is capable of tuning AM, FM and FM Stereo broadcast stations. Stations may be tuned manually, or they may be stored as favorite sta- tion presets and recalled from a 30-position memory.

Station Selection

1.Press the AM/FM Button 34 on the remote to select the tuner as an input. The tuner may be selected from the front panel by either pressing the Input Source Selector 8 until the tuner is active or by pressing the Tuner Band Selector 6.

2.Press the AM/FM Button 34 or Tuner Band Selector 6 again to switch between AM and FM so that the desired frequency band is selected.

3.Press the Tuning Mode Selector 9 l to select manual or automatic tuning.

When the button is pressed so that AUTO or AUTO/STEREO appears in the Upper Display Line ^, each press of the Tuning Selectors 5w will put the tuner in a scan mode that seeks the next higher or lower frequency

station with acceptable signal strength. An AUTO ST TUNED indication will momentarily appear when the station stops at a stereo FM station, and an AUTO TUNED indication will momentarily appear when an AM or monaural FM station is tuned. Press the Tuning buttons again to scan to the next station.

When the button is pressed so that MANUAL or MANUAL/MONO appears in the Upper Display Line ^, each tap of the Tuning Selectors 5w will increase or decrease the frequency by one increment. When the tuner receives a strong enough signal for adequate reception, MANUAL TUNED will appear in the Lower Display Line &.

4.Stations may also be tuned directly in either the automatic or manual mode. To enter a station’s fre- quency directly, first select the AM or FM band as desired be pressing the AM/FM Button 6 34 . Next, press the Direct Button i. Within five seconds of when DIRECT IN scrolls in the Upper Display Line ^, enter the station fre- quency by pressing the Numeric Keys k. If you press an incorrect button while entering a direct fre- quency, press the Clear Button j to start over.

NOTE: When the FM reception of a station is weak, audio quality will be increased by switching to Mono mode by pressing the Tuning Mode Button 9l so that MANUAL/MONO appears momentarily in the Upper Display Line ^ and then goes out. This will also activate manual tuning mode.

Preset Tuning

Using the remote, up to 30 stations may be stored in the DPR 2005’s memory for easy recall using the front-panel controls or the remote.

To enter a station into the memory, first tune the sta- tion using the steps outlined above. Then:

1.Press the Memory Button 39 on the remote; the station’s frequency will flash.

2.Within five seconds, press the Numeric Keys k corresponding to the memory location where you wish to store this station’s frequency. Once entered, the preset number will appear in the Upper Display Line ^.

3.Repeat the process after tuning any additional stations to be preset.

Recalling Preset Stations

•To manually select a station previously entered in the preset memory, press the Numeric Keys k for the desired station’s memory location.

•To manually scroll through the list of preset stations, press the Preset Stations Selector Button

7v on the front panel or remote.

Tape Recording

In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening through the DPR 2005 is sent to the record outputs. This means that any program you are watching or listening to may be recorded simply by placing machines connected to the outputs for Tape Outputs ⁄ or Video 1/Video 2 Outputs £∞ in the record mode.

When a digital audio recorder is connected to the Digital Audio Outputs °·J, you are able to record the digital signal using a CD-R, MiniDisc or other digital recording system.

NOTES:

•The digital outputs are active only when a digital sig- nal is present, and they do not convert an analog input to a digital signal, or change the format of the digital signal. In addition, the digital recorder must be compatible with the output signal. For example, the PCM digital input from a CD player may be recorded on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital or DTS signals may not.

•The Front-Panel Video 5 K and Coaxial 3 J jacks may be configured for use as an output, allowing connection to a recorder, when the steps shown in the section below are followed.

•Please obey the copyright restrictions on any mate- rial you copy. Unauthorized duplication of copyright- ed materials is prohibited by law.

Front-Panel Connections

In addition to the rear-panel digital and analog outputs, the DPR 2005 offers Harman Kardon’s exclusive con- figurable front-panel output-jack feature. For easy con- nection of portable devices, you may switch the front- panel Video 5 Jacks K or the Coaxial Digital 3 Jack J from an input to an output by following these steps:

1. Press the OSD Button to view the MASTER MENU (Figure 1).

2.Press the Set Button q to enter the IN/OUT SETUP menu (Figure 2).
