OPERATION
•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 3, Stereo, 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 ¶ and Video 1 or Video 2 Audio Outputs ‹‡. However, the digital signals will be passed through to the Digital Audio Outputs b.
PCM Audio Playback
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is the noncompressed digital audio system used for compact discs and laser discs. The digital circuits in the DPR 1001 are capable of
Connections may be made to either the rear panel Optical or Coaxial Inputs k31 or the front panel Digital Inputs ÔÒ.
When a PCM source is playing, the PCM Indicator A will light. During PCM playback, you may select any Surround mode except Dolby Digital or DTS.
MP3 Audio Playback
The DPR 1001 is among the few A/V receivers to pro- vide onboard decoding for the MP3 audio format used by computers and portable audio devices. By offering MP3 decoding, the DPR 1001 is able to deliver precise conversion of the digital signals to an analog output, along with the benefits of listening to the MP3 audio through the DPR 1001’s
To take advantage of the DPR 1001’s MP3 capabilities, simply connect the PCM output of a computer’s sound card or the PCM output of a portable digital audio device to either the
NOTES:
•The DPR 1001 is only capable of playing signals in the MP3 (MPEG 1/Layer 3) format. It is not compatible with other computer audio codecs.
•The digital audio input signal may be either optical or coaxial, but the signal must be in the
•If your computer or sound card’s digital output is not capable of direct connection to the DPR, you may use an optional, external transcoder to convert the USB output of a computer to a format compatible with the DPR.
Tuner Operation
The DPR 1001’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 station pre- sets and recalled from a

6.Stations may also be tuned directly by pressing the Direct Button i, and then pressing the Numeric Keys k that correspond to the station’s frequency. The desired station will automatically be tuned. 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 7l until the
Preset Tuning
Using the remote, up to 30 stations may be stored in the DPR 1001’s memory for easy recall using the front panel controls or the remote.
To enter a station into the memory, first tune the station using the steps outlined above. Then:
1.Press the Memory Button 38 on the remote. PRESET MEMORY will flash in the Lower Display Line B.
2.Within five seconds, press the Numeric Keys k corresponding to the location where you wish to store this station’s frequency. Once entered, the pre- set number will appear to the right of the station’s frequency in the Upper Display Line F.
3.Repeat the process after tuning any additional sta- tions to be preset.
Recalling Preset Stations
•To manually select a station previously entered in the preset memory, press the Numeric Keys k that correspond to the desired station’s memory location.
•To manually tune through the list of stored preset sta- tions one by one, press the Preset Stations Selector Buttons 9v© on the front panel or remote.
Recording
In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening through the DPR 1001 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 Tape Outputs ¶ or Video 1 or 2 Outputs 12 ‹fl‡ in the record mode.
When a digital audio recorder is connected to the Digital Audio Outputs b, you are able to record the digital signal using a
NOTES:
•The digital outputs are active only when a digital signal 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 com- patible with the output signal. For example, the PCM digital input from a CD player may be recorded on a
