CONFIGURING THE REMOTE

The DPR 1005 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 1005 remote using its extensive library of remote codes or a head-to-head learning process for codes not in the internal library.

Programming Remote Codes

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 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 18 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display c. Release the button when the red light under the Set Button q appears.

3.The remote’s MAIN MENU message

(Figure 19), will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button q will remain illuminated in red. Press the Set Button q 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 20). Press the / ¤ Navigation Button o to scroll through the list of device categories and press the Set Button q 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 both stand-alone and satellite- based hard-drive recorder products (PVR) such as TiVo® and Replay TV® are found regardless of their brand by selecting VCR as the device.

5.At the next menu screen on the remote (Figure 21), press the Set Button q 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 22) will show the start of the list of available brands. Press the / ¤ Navigation Buttons o 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 q.

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 42 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 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 42.

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 on the menu screen (Figure 23) one at a time, starting with the “1” button. After you press the “1” Button k, the remote’s LCD screen will briefly go blank as the code is being transmitted,

but you will see the “transmit” icon in the upper right corner of the display to serve as confirmation that the remote is sending out commands.

8.After you press and release the number key, watch the device being programmed to see whether it turns off. As shown in the instructions that will appear on the next menu screen (Figure 24), if your device has turned off, press the Set Button q, and then skip to Step 10. If the unit does not turn off, proceed to the next step.

9.If the device being programmed into the DPR remote does not turn off after you have pressed the “1” Button k, repeat Steps 7 and 8 by pressing the available numeric keys shown until the device turns off. If the device still does not turn off after all choices have been tried, or if there is only one number key shown as available to try, the code for this specific device is not in the DPR remote library under that brand name. If that is the case, press the Clear Button j to exit the manual programming mode. Remember that the codes may still be stored in the DPR remote’s library under another brand, and you can have the remote control search for them by following the instructions below for automatic programming. You may also manually “learn” the codes for most devices into the DPR remote by following the Learning Commands instructions on page 42.

10.When the device being programmed does turn off after a numeric key has been pressed, you must press the Set Button q within five seconds to enter the setting into the remote’s memory. After you press the Set Button q, the top line of the LCD display will read SAVING… and then the word SAVED will flash four times in the center of the bottom line.

11.When the codes are saved, the remote will return to normal operation, and whenever you press the Input Selector Button d that was just programmed, the codes for the new device will be used.

NOTE: Some brands share a common remote control code for “Power Off” for many models. For that reason it is possible that even though the remote appears to be properly programmed, you may find that some but- tons do not appear to issue the correct command. If this is the case, repeat the procedure outlined above, but if more than one numeric key selection is suggested in Step 7, try a different number to see whether the remote operates correctly. Although the DPR remote is preprogrammed with an extensive library of codes for many major brands, it is also possible that you may have attempted to program a product that is too new or too old, and thus not all of its commands will be in the code library. You may fill in the codes for any button
