DTS-ES Discrete). Press the ‹/› Navigation Button
oto scroll through the choices available for your system and the program in use. The DTS Neo:6 Music mode is available with analog and PCM digital stereo sources and the DTS Neo:6 Cinema mode may be used with matrix surround-encoded sources for an enhanced 5.1-channel sound field.
When the 5.1 configuration is in use, the DPR will automatically select the 5.1 version of DTS processing when a DTS data stream is detected. When the 6.1/
7.1mode is selected, the DTS-ES Discrete mode will automatically be activated for DTS sources with the ES Discrete “flag.” When a non-ES DTS disc is in use, you may select the DTS-ES Matrix mode to create a full
7.1surround mode. See page 32 for an explanation of the DTS modes.
When an analog or two-channel PCM source is play- ing, the DTS Neo:6 modes are available, which cre- ates a three-, five- or six-channel presentation of the sound. The exact modes available will depend on the number of speaker positions established in the SPEAKER SETUP menu. (See page 25 to configure the system for the number and type of speakers in your system.)
On the LOGIC 7 menu, the choices available made with the ‹/› Navigation Button o are determined by whether the 5.1- or 6.1/7.1-channel configuration is in use. In either case, the selection of a Logic 7 mode enables Harman Kardon’s exclusive Logic 7 processing to create multichannel surround from two-channel stereo- or matrix-encoded program- ming such as VHS cassettes or television broadcasts produced with Dolby Surround.
With 5.1 configurations, you may select the Logic 7/5.1 Music, Cinema or Enhance modes. They work best with surround-encoded programs or two-channel pro- gramming of any type. For 6.1/7.1 configurations, the Music and Cinema modes may be selected. The Logic 7 modes are not available when either Dolby Digital or DTS Digital soundtracks are in use. See page 32 for an explanation of the Logic 7 modes.
On the DSP (SURR) menu, the choices made with the ‹/› Navigation Button o select one of the DSP surround modes designed for use with two- channel stereo programs to create a variety of sound field presentations. The Hall and Theater modes are designed for multichannel installations, while the two VMAx modes are optimized for use in delivering a full surround field when only front left and front right speakers are installed. See page 32 for an explanation of the DSP surround modes.
On the STEREO menu, the selection choices made with the ‹/› Navigation Button o on the remote may select a traditional two-channel presenta- tion that uses only the left and right front speakers by choosing SURROUND OFF+DSP. You may also select a 5 CH STEREO and 7 CH STEREO mode, depending on how many speakers are available. These two modes feed a two-channel presentation to the front left/right and surround speak- ers, as stereo pairs, with a mix of the left and right channels fed to the center speakers. See page 32 for a complete explanation of the stereo modes.
After the selections are made on the Dolby, DTS, Logic 7, DSP (Surround) or Stereo menus, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o so that the cursor moves to the BACK TO MASTER MENU line and press the Set Button q.
Speaker Setup
This menu tells the DPR 1005 which type of speakers are in use. This is important as it adjusts the settings that decide whether your system will use the “5-chan- nel” or “6-channel/7-channel” modes, as well as determining which speakers receive low-frequency (bass) information.
For each of these settings, use the LARGE setting if the speakers for a particular position are traditional full-range loudspeakers. Use the SMALL setting for smaller, frequency-limited satellite speakers that do not reproduce sounds below 200Hz. Note that when “small” speakers are used, a subwoofer is required to reproduce low-frequency sounds. Remember that the “large” and “small” descriptions do not refer to the actual physical size of the speakers, but to their ability to reproduce low-frequency sounds. If you are in doubt as to which category describes your speakers, consult the specifications in the speakers’ owner’s manual, or ask your dealer.
This menu screen also allows you to enter the settings for the DPR 1005’s Quadruple Crossover feature which allows a different crossover point to be used for the front left/right, center, surround and surround back speakers. In systems where full-range or tower speakers are used for the front soundstage or where different brands or models are in use at the various speaker positions, this feature allows you to customize the bass management and redirection circuits with a precision not previously possible.
It is easiest to enter the proper settings for the speaker setup through the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 7). If that menu is not already on your screen from the prior adjustments, press the OSD Button
to bring up the MASTER MENU (Figure 1),
and then press the ¤ Navigation Button o until the cursor is on the SPEAKER SETUP line. Press the Set Button q to bring up the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 7).

The first line of the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 7) allows you to switch the menu to change either the underlying speaker size setting or the exact crossover point used for that speaker group. For the first pass through the menu, leave the setting at its default option of SIZE, and then proceed as out- lined below. Once the speaker choices have been set, you may wish to return to this line to change the option so that the crossover settings may be adjusted.
Begin the speaker setup process by making certain that the cursor is pointing at the LEFT/RIGHT line, which sets the configuration for the front left and right speakers. If you wish to make a change to the front speakers’ configuration, press the ‹/› Navigation Button o so that either LARGE or SMALL appears, matching the appropriate description from the definitions shown above.
When SMALL is selected, low-frequency sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer output. If you choose this option and no subwoofer is connected, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from the front channels.
When LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the front left and front right outputs. Depending on the choice made in the SUBWOOFER line in this menu, bass and/or LFE information may also be directed to the subwoofer.
When you have completed your selection for the front channels, press the ¤ Navigation Button o to move the cursor to CENTER.
Press the ‹/› Navigation Button o on the remote to select the option that best describes your sys- tem, based on the speaker definitions shown below.
When SMALL is selected, low-frequency center channel sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer out- put. If you choose this option and no subwoofer is con- nected, you will not hear low-frequency sounds from the center channel.
