SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Input Setup

The first step in configuring the DPR 1001 is to config- ure each input. When using the full-OSD system to make the setup adjustments, press the OSD Button 31 once so that the MAIN menu (Figure 1) appears.

The IN/OUT SETUP line will be highlighted. Press the Set Button p to enter the menu and the IN/OUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) will appear on the screen. Press the /Navigation Buttons n until the desired input name appears, as well as being indicated in the front panel Input Indicators & by the amber LED next to the desired input name. If the input will use the standard left/right analog inputs, no further adjustment is needed.

If you wish to associate one of the digital inputs with the selected input source, press the ¤ Navigation Button

nwhile the IN/OUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) is on the screen, and the DIGITAL IN line

will be highlighted in reverse text. Press the /Navigation Buttons n until the name of the desired digital input appears. To return to the analog input, press the buttons until the word ANALOG appears.

When the correct input source appears, press the ¤ Navigation Button n once so that RETURN TO MAIN MENU is highlighted, and press the Set Button p.

To change the digital input at any time using the remote control and the semi-OSD system, press the Digital Select Button o. Within five seconds, make your input selection using the /¤ Navigation Buttons

nuntil the desired digital or analog input is shown in the Upper Display Line F and in the video display connected to the DPR 1001. Press the Set Button p to enter the new digital input assignment.

To change the digital input from the front panel, press the Set Button ! and then press the /¤ Buttons )@ until the amber LED is next to DIGITAL SELECT in the System Configuration Indicators % on the right side of the front panel and DIGI SEL MODE appears in the Lower Display Line B. Within five sec- onds, press the Set Button ! again, and then press the /¤ Buttons )@ again to cycle through the list of available inputs. When the desired digital input (or the ana- log input) name flashes in the right portion of the message in the Upper Display Line F and in the on-screen dis- play, press the Set Button ! to enter your choice into

the unit’s memory. The DPR 1001 will return to normal operation and displays within five seconds.

NOTE: When a source such as an HDTV receiver or a digital cable set-top box is used, you may wish to connect both the coaxial digital output and the standard, analog output of the source to the DPR’s VID 2 input since the program sources and channels received by these devices often switch between analog and digital audio.

An exclusive Harman Kardon feature is the ability to switch the front panel coaxial digital audio and analog audio/video jacks from their normal use as inputs to out- put connections so that portable recording devices may easily be connected. On the DPR 1001, the Digital Coax 3 Jack Ò is normally an input, but it may be switched to a digital output for use with CD-R/RW decks, MD recorders or other A/V recorders. To change the jack to an output, press the /¤ Navigation Buttons n while the IN/OUT SETUP menu is on the screen until COAXIAL 3 is highlighted. Then press the /Navigation Buttons n so that the word OUT appears. The Input/Output Status Indicator will turn red, indicating that the jack is now a record output.

NOTE: A signal will be sent to this jack only when the input selected for use by the DPR 1001 is digital. Digital signals will be passed through regardless of their format, and which digital input (optical or coax) they are fed from. However, analog signals are not converted to digi- tal, and the signal’s format (e.g., PCM, Dolby Digital or DTS) may not be changed.

Selection of the front panel jacks as an output will remain effective as long as the DPR 1001 is on. Once the unit is turned off, the jacks will revert to their normal use as an input when the unit is turned on again.

The front panel analog Video 4 Jacks Ú are normally set as an input for use with camcorders, video games and other portable audio/video products, but they may be switched to an output for connection to portable audio/video recorders. To temporarily switch them to out- puts, you must first be at the IN/OUT SETUP menu. Press the ¤ Navigation Button n until the VIDEO 4 line is highlighted. Press the Button

nso that the word OUT appears. Note that the Input/Output Status Indicator between the S- and composite video jacks will turn red, indicating that the analog Video 4 jacks are now record outputs.

Surround Setup

Once the basic input setup has been completed, the next step is to select the surround mode you wish to use with an input. Since surround modes are a matter of personal taste, feel free to select any mode you wish – you may change it later. However, to make it easier to establish the initial parameters for the DPR 1001, it is best to select Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7 for most analog inputs and Dolby Digital for inputs connected to digital

sources. In the case of inputs such as a CD Player, Tape Deck or Tuner, you may wish to set the mode to Stereo (“Surround Off”) as they are not typically used with sur- round-encoded material. Alternatively, the Logic 7 Music mode is a good choice for two-channel source material.

It is easiest to complete the surround setup using the full-OSD on-screen menus. From the MAIN menu (Figure 1), press the /¤ Navigation Buttons n until SURROUND SELECT is highlighted. Press the Set Button p so that the SURROUND SELECT menu (Figure 3) is on the screen.

Figure 3

Each of the lines on the menu (Figure 3) contains a cat- egory menu surround mode and within those menus you may choose one of the sub-modes. The list of sub- modes in some categories will vary according to whether

5.1or 6.1/7.1 operation is chosen. Also, some of the modes available in the DPR 1001 will not appear unless a digital source is selected and playing the correct bitstream.

The selection of 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 configuration is deter- mined by the setting for Surround Back Speakers in the Speaker Setup menu. The factory setting is for “None,” which will mean that only 5.1 modes will be available. To utilize the 6.1/7.1 surround modes, change the setting for the Surround Back Speakers to either Large or Small, as shown in the instructions on page 20. This will auto- matically activate all 6.1/7.1 surround mode options.

To select the mode that will be used as the initial default for an input, first press the /¤ Navigation Buttons

nuntil the on-screen cursor is next to the desired mode’s master category name. Next, press the Set Button p to view the sub-menu. Press the /Navigation Buttons n to scroll through the available choices, and then press the ¤ Navigation Button

nso that the cursor is next to RETURN TO MAIN MENU to continue the setup process.

On the DOLBY SURR menu (Figure 4), the choices include Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II Music, Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo. When a 6.1/7.1 speaker configuration is used, Dolby Digital EX replaces the Dolby Digital mode. For a complete explanation of these modes, see page 26. Note that when a Dolby Digital mode is selected there are additional settings available for the Night mode.

Note also that some of the available surround mode combinations include both Dolby Digital and the various
