SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

When using the full-OSD system to make the setup adjustments, press the OSD Button 31 once so that the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) appears. The

cursor will be next to the IN/OUT SETUP line. Press the Set Button q and the IN/OUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) will appear on the screen. Press the /Navigation Button o until the desired input name appears in the highlighted video, as well as being indicated in the front-panel Input Indicators $. When you are scrolling through the list of available inputs you may hear a slight click. This is normal, as it is caused by the relay that is used to switch between the two Component Video Inputs.

When a Video input is selected as the source, you have the option of changing the name that appears in the on-screen and front-panel messages. This is help- ful if you have more than one VCR, if you wish to associate a specific product brand name with the input, or to simply enter any name that will help you to remember which source is being selected.

To change the input name, press the /¤ Navigation Button o on the remote so that the cursor is pointing to NAME. Next, press and hold the Set Button q for a few seconds until a flashing box appears to the right of the colon. Immediately release the Set Button q, as you are now ready to enter the device name.

Press the /¤ Navigation Button o and a complete set of alpha-numeric characters will be avail- able with the start of the alphabet in capital letters fol- lowed by the lower-case letters and then numbers and symbols. Press the button either way until the first letter of the desired name appears. If you wish to enter a blank space as the first character, press the

Navigation Button o.

When the desired character appears, press the Navigation Button o and repeat the process for the next letter. Continue until the desired name is entered, up to fourteen characters. When the name is complete, press the Set Button q to enter it into the system memory.

If your system includes sources equipped with Y/Pr/Pb component video outputs, the DPR is able to switch them to send the proper signals to a video display. Either Component Video Input ij may be assigned to any source for added system flexibility. The default setting is for the Component Video 1 Jack i to be assigned to the DVD and 6/8-Channel Direct Inputs, with the Component Video 2 Jack j assigned to all other inputs. If your system doesn’t include component video, or if you do not need to change these defaults, press the ¤ Navigation Button o to go to the next setting.

To change the Component Video assignment, first make certain that the cursor is pointing to the COMPONENT IN line on the menu screen; then press the /Navigation Button o until you see the desired input in the highlighted video. When the desired component input has been selected, press the ¤ Navigation Button o to go to the next setting.

Some digital video input sources, such as a cable box or HDTV set-top may change between analog and digital outputs, depending on which channel is in use. The DPR 1005’s Auto Polling feature allows you to avoid losing the audio feed when this happens by per- mitting both analog and digital connections to the same source on the DPR. Digital audio is the default, and the unit will automatically switch to the analog audio if the digital audio stream stops.

In cases where only a digital source is used, you may wish to disable the Auto Polling feature to prevent the DPR from trying to “find” an analog source when the digital source is paused. To turn Auto Polling off for any input, first make certain that the cursor is pointing to the AUTO POLL line on the menu screen. Next, press the /Navigation Button o so that OFF is highlighted in reverse video. Repeat the procedure at any time by highlighting ON to restore the Auto Polling feature.

When any changes to the Auto Polling configuration are complete, press the ¤ Navigation Button o to go to the next setting.

If you wish to associate a digital input with an input source or change the default digital input selection, press the ¤ Navigation Button o while the IN/OUT SETUP menu (Figure 2) is on the screen, until the cursor moves to the DIGITAL IN line. Press the /Navigation Button o until the desired digital input appears. To return to the ana- log input, press the button until ANALOG appears.

To change the digital input at any time using the dis- crete function buttons and the semi-OSD system, press the Digital Select Button p on the remote.

Within five seconds, make your input selection using the /¤ Navigation Button o until the desired digital or analog input is shown in the Upper Display Line ^ and in the lower line of the on-screen dis- play. Press the Set Button q to enter the new digital input assignment.

An exclusive Harman Kardon feature is the ability to switch the front-panel analog audio/video jacks from their normal use as inputs to output connections so that portable recording devices may easily be con- nected. The front-panel analog Video 5 Inputs K 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 audio/video recorders. To temporarily switch them to outputs, you must first be at the IN/OUT SETUP menu. Press the ¤ Navigation Button

ountil the on-screen cursor is pointing to the VIDEO 5 line. Press the Navigation Button

oso that the word OUT is highlighted. The Input/Output Status Indicator I between the S- and composite video jacks will turn red, indicating that the analog Video 5 jacks are now record outputs.

Selection of the front-panel jacks as an output will remain effective as long as the DPR 1005 is on. Once the unit is turned off, the jacks will revert to their nor- mal use as an input when the unit is turned on again.

When changes to the Video 5 setting are complete, press the¤ Navigation Button o

to go to the next setting, or press the Navigation Button o until the cursor is next to BACK TO MASTER MENU to continue.

The REC OUT line gives you the opportunity to select which type of signal is directed to the Record Output jacks (associated with the Tape ⁄, Video 1

and Video 2 £ sources. The default setting is ANALOG, which will send the analog signal from any source to all three sets of analog record outputs.

In cases where you wish to have the output of a digital source selected as the record output feed, while the

cursor is next to the REC OUT line, press the

/Navigation Button o so that DSP DOWNMIX appears in highlighted video. When this indication is shown, the DPR will feed a downmixed, analog version of a Dolby Digital or DTS encoded sig- nal to the Record Output jacks (associated with the Tape ⁄, Video 1 ∞ and Video 2 £ sources and the Video 5 jacks when they are configured as an output). This enables you to make an analog recording (where permitted by copyright laws) of the soundtrack from a digital source.
