CONFIGURING THE REMOTE

Multiroom Operation

When operating the DPR 1001 from a remote room location where an IR sensor link has been connected to the DPR 1001’s rear-panel Multiroom IR Input £, you may use either the main remote control or the Zone II remote. To turn on the multiroom feed, press any of the Input Selector buttons on the Zone II remote ç∂ or the main remote d 34 43 . Press the

AVR Selector e∫ to turn the unit on to the last source, or any of the other Selector buttons to turn on to a specific source.

As long as an IR feed to the DPR 1001 has been estab- lished from the remote room, using any of the buttons on either remote will control the remote location volume rî, change the tuner frequency wÉ, change

the tuner preset v© or mute the output 33 .

If the DPR 1001’s Remote IR Output Jack ¢ is con- nected to an IR Input jack on compatible Harman Kardon audio components such as CD, DVD or cassette players, the transport functions of those machines may also be controlled using the Transport Controls qst uxɃ©˙∆ on either remote control.

To turn the system off from the remote room, press the Power Off Button aå. Remember that the DPR 1001 may be turned on or off from the remote room, regardless of the system’s operation or status in the main room.

NOTE: When the tuner is selected as the source for the remote zone, any change to the frequency or preset will also change the station being listened to in the main room, if the tuner is in use there. Similarly, if someone in the main room changes the station, the change will also impact the remote room.

To activate the feed to the remote room, while you are in the main listening room where the DPR 1001 is located, press the Multiroom Button ` on the remote. Next, press the Set Button p. Press the ⁄ /¤ Navigation Buttons n to turn the multiroom feed on or off. When the multiroom system is on, the Multi Indicator C will light in the Main Information Display ^, and the Lower Display Line B and OSD will display MULTI ON. Press the Set Button p to enter the setting.

When the multiroom system is turned on, the input selected using the multiroom menu will be fed to the Multiroom Output Jacks ª on the rear panel. The volume will be as set in the previous selection, although it may also be adjusted using an optional IR sensor and the Zone II remote in the remote location or on the optional audio power amplifier connected to the Multiroom Output Jacks ª.

Once the multiroom system is turned on, it will remain on even if the DPR 1001 is placed in the Standby mode in the main room by pressing the Power Off Button åa or the On/Standby Button 2. To turn off the multiroom system, even when the DPR is in Standby

mode in the main listening room, press the Multiroom Button ` and then the Set Button p. Press the

⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons n so that the Multiroom Indicator C goes out, and the Lower Display Line

B and OSD will display MULTI OFF. Press the Set Button p to enter the setting and turn the unit off.

Even when the DPR 1001 is turned off in the main room, the multiroom system may be turned on at any time by pressing the Multiroom Button `, or any of the Selector Buttons ∫ç∂ in the remote room.

Configuring the Remote

The DPR 1001 remote is factory-programmed for all functions needed to operate the unit. In addition, it is also preprogrammed to operate most recent Harman Kardon DVD players and changers, CD players and changers, CD recorders and cassette decks. The codes for other brand devices may be programmed into the DPR 1001 remote using its extensive library of remote codes or a head-to-head learning process for codes not in the internal library.

Thanks to the remote’s advanced technology and two-line LCD display, it is no longer necessary to look up cumbersome codes when programming the remote; following the steps outlined below, you simply search for the brand name from the remote’s memory. We recommend that you first try the preprogrammed code entry method. If that procedure is not successful, then try the code learning method.

Preprogrammed Code Entry

The easiest way to program the DPR remote for operation with a source device from another brand is to follow these steps:

1.Turn on the power to the device you wish to pro- gram into the DPR remote. This is important, as in a later step you will need to see whether the device turns off to determine whether the remote has been programmed for the proper remote codes.

2.Press and hold the Program Button y for about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 15 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display c. Release the button when the red light under the Set Button p appears.

3.The remote’s MAIN MENU message

(Figure 16), will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button p will remain illuminated in red. Press the Set Button p to begin the process of selecting a device and locating the proper remote codes.

4.SELECT A DEVICE will appear in the LCD display (Figure 17). Press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Buttons n to scroll through the list of device categories and press the Set Button p when the device you wish to set the codes for appears. For this example, we will select “TV” to enter the codes needed to operate your TV.

NOTE: The codes for hard-drive recorder products (PVR) such as TiVo and Replay are programmed by selecting VCR as the device. For satellite-based TiVo products, check under the brand name of the product.

5.At the next menu screen on the remote (Figure 18) press the Set Button p to enter the Manual mode, which means that you will select the brand name of the device from the list pro- grammed into the remote’s memory.

6.The next menu screen on the remote (Figure 19) will show the start of the list of available brands. Press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Buttons n until the brand name of the device you are program- ming into the remote appears on the lower line of the display and then press the Set Button p.

NOTE: If the brand name for the product you wish to program does not appear in the list, the codes may still be available, as some manufacturers share codes. If the desired brand is not listed, press the Clear Button j to exit the programming process,

and skip to the instructions shown on page 33 for the “Automatic” method of programming the remote. If desired, or if the codes for your brand are not part of the remote’s library at all, you may still use the DPR remote to program most infrared-controlled products by “learning” the commands from the product’s original remote into the DPR remote. The instructions for Learning Commands are on page 34.

7.The next step is important, as it determines which codes will operate the source device or display. Point the DPR remote at the device being pro- grammed and, following the instructions shown in the remote’s LCD Information Display c, press and release the Numeric Keys k shown
