INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

the instruction shown for “Changing Devices” as shown on page 43. You may also learn the codes for the device connected to any input by following the instructions for “Learning Codes” shown on page 42.

4.Connect the composite video or S-Video and ana- log left/right audio outputs of a DVD player to the DVD Input Jacks ¶ on the rear panel.

5.Connect the optical or coaxial digital audio outputs of a DVD player, satellite receiver, cable box, HDTV tuner or video game to any of the Optical or Coaxial Digital Inputs fl‡HJ. The recom- mended connection for a DVD player is to use a Coaxial digital link connected to the Coaxial Digital Audio Input 1, but you may change the digital audio input assignment for any source using the IN/OUT SETUP menu as described on page 21 or the Digital Input Selector Ep on the front panel or remote, as described on page 33.

NOTE: When connecting a device such as a digital cable box or other set-top tuner product with a digital audio output, we recommend that you connect both the digital and analog outputs of the product to your DPR. The audio input polling feature of the DPR will then be able to make certain that you have a constant audio feed, since it will automatically switch the audio input to the analog jacks if the digital feed is interrupted or not available for a particular channel.

6.Connect the Video Monitor Output • jacks on the receiver to the composite or S-Video input of your television monitor or video projector.

7.If your DVD Player has Y/Pr/Pb analog component video outputs, connect them to the Component Video 1 Inputs i. Although this set of inputs may be assigned to any of the five video inputs on the DPR 1005, the factory default is for this input to be assigned to the DVD Inputs ¶. Remember to make a digital audio connection between the DVD player and the DPR, with the Coaxial Digital Input 1 fl being the factory default. For informa- tion on changing the input assignments for either the component video jacks or the DVD player’s audio connection, see page 21.

8.If you have other devices with Y/Pr/Pb or RGB component video outputs, connect the source device to the Component Video 2 Inputs j. The audio connections may be made to the Video 4 Inputs ¡™¢§ or the Optical or Coaxial Digital Inputs fl‡HJ. When using either of the Component Video Inputs, make certain that the audio and video inputs are properly configured in the IN/OUT SETUP menu, as described on page 21.

9.If the component video inputs are used, connect the Component Video Monitor Outputs k to the component video inputs of your TV, projector or other display device.

10.If you have a camcorder, video game or other audio/video device that is connected to the DPR on a temporary, rather than permanent, basis, con- nect the audio, video and digital audio outputs of that device to the Front-Panel Inputs HJK. A device connected here is selected as the Video 5 input, and the digital inputs must be assigned to the Video 5 input. (See page 21 for more informa- tion on input configuration.)

Video Connection Notes:

When the component video jacks are used, the on- screen menus are not visible and you must switch to the standard composite or S-Video input on your TV to view them. For this reason, we recommend that you always make a composite or S-Video con- nection between the DPR and your video display, even if all the sources in use have component video outputs.

The DPR 1005 will accept either standard com- posite, S-Video or Y/Pr/Pb component video sig- nals. However, it will not convert composite or S signals to component video. Component or com- posite video signals may only be viewed in their native formats.

We strongly recommend that a composite or S- Video connection be made from any video source even when a component connection is the primary playback mode. This enables the DPR to provide a feed to a record output, provided that simultaneous composite and component playback are possible.

System and Power Connections

The DPR 1005 is designed for flexible use with multi- room systems, external control components and power amplifiers.

Main Room Remote Control Extension

If the receiver is placed behind a solid or smoked glass cabinet door, the obstruction may prevent the remote sensor from receiving commands. In this event, an optional remote sensor may be used. Connect the output of the remote sensor to the

Remote IR Input

jack.

If other components are also prevented from receiving remote commands, only one sensor is needed. Simply use this unit’s sensor or a remote eye by running a connection from the Remote IR Output jack to the Remote IR Input jack on Harman Kardon or other compatible equipment.

Multiroom IR Link

The remote room IR receiver should be connected to

the Multiroom IR Input jack on the DPR 1005’s rear panel.

If other Harman Kardon compatible source equipment is part of the main room installation, the Remote IR Output jack on the rear panel should be connected to the IR IN jack on source equipment. This will enable the remote room location to control source equipment functions.

NOTE: All remotely controlled components must be linked together in a “daisy chain”. Connect the IR OUT jack of one unit to the IR IN of the next to establish this chain.

Multiroom Audio Connections

The DPR 1005 is equipped with multizone capabilities that allow it to send an audio source to the remote zone that i s different from the one selected for use in the main room. Please note that this capability applies to analog inputs from sources such as the DPR’s tuner, tape decks or VCRs. If you wish to use a source such as a DVD or CD player that is normally connected via a digital connection, it is necessary to run an analog connection from the source to the DPR or to use the Main Downmix input option, as explained on page 39.

Depending on your system’s requirement, three options are available for audio connection:

Option 1: Use high-quality, shielded audio intercon- nect cable from the DPR 1005’s location to the remote room. In the remote room, connect the inter- connect cable to an optioinal external stereo power amplifier. The amplifier will be connected to the room’s speakers. At the DPR 1005, plug the audio intercon- nect cables into the Multiroom Audio Outputs ª on the DPR 1005’s rear panel.

Option 2: Connect the Multiroom Audio Outputs

ªon the DPR 1005 to the inputs of an optional stereo power amplifier. Run high-quality speaker wire from the amplifier to the speakers in the remote room.

Option 3: Taking advantage of the DPR 1005’s built- in seven-channel amplifier, it is possible to use two of the amplifier channels to power speakers in the remote room. When using this option you will not be able to use the full 7.1-channel capabilities of the DPR 1005 in the main listening room, but you will be able to add another listening room without external power amplifiers. To use the internal amplifiers to power a remote zone, connect the speakers for the remote room location to the Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs g. Before using the remote room you will need to configure the amplifiers for surround
