Step One – Turn On the DMC 1000
The DMC 1000 has four power states, each designed to minimize unnecessary power consumption. See page 25.
The description of each mode and the DMC 1000’s response to the power controls is shown in Table A7 in the Appendix.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When the HDMI Output is used, turn on the system components in reverse order, starting with the video display, then any receiver or processor, and finally turn on the DMC 1000.
The first time the system is used, turn it on as follows:
Switch the Master Power Switch to the line position ( I), placing the DMC 1000 in
Figure 14 – Master Power Switch
The “Start DMC 1000” message will appear on the front panel, and the “Starting . . .” message will appear on screen. Allow the system a few minutes to fully start up.
The first time the DMC 1000 is turned on, the End User License Agreement (EULA) will appear. See Figure 15. The unit will not respond to any other commands until you have scrolled through the entire agreement, and accepted its terms. A copy of the complete EULA appears in the back
of this manual, starting on page 41.
Figure 15 – End User Agreement
After you have accepted the EULA, the Main Menu will be displayed. See Figure 16.

The Main Menu is the usual starting point for each listening or viewing session.
INITIAL SETUP
Step Two – Display the Setup Menu
The first time the system is used, the Setup Menu should be configured. After Initial Setup is completed, unless the user’s requirements change, it is usually not necessary to revisit the Setup Menu. Press the Setup Button (see Figure 17) to display the Setup Menu (see Figure 18).

Figure 18 – Media Library Setup Menu
The Setup Menu, as with all menus on the DMC 1000, is navigated using the F/G/D/E Navigation Buttons. Press the Enter Button to select an item highlighted on screen.
There are six Setup Menus: Media Library, DVD Player, Audio, Video, General and Advanced.
Step Three – Media Library Setup
The Media Library Setup Menu determines what action the DMC 1000 takes when an audio disc is loaded. Any time an audio CD is loaded, it is automatically copied at high speed to the Media Library. The DMC 1000 does not play audio CDs directly from the disc; playback is from the Media Library. See Figure 18.
Audio Disc Insert Preferences: Select Record Only to copy the disc to the Media Library without playing it, or Play and Record to begin playback from the Media Library after recording commences.
Audio Encoding Quality: Select the format to be used for recording audio CDs to the Media Library.
