INTRODUCTION

Thank You for Choosing Harman Kardon

With the purchase of a Harman Kardon DPR 2005, you are about to begin many years of listening enjoyment. Thanks to its completely digital path system,

the

DPR 2005 is truly a receiver for the new millennium. The DPR 2005 has a wide range of features and

options that accommodate virtually any combination of speakers, room size and program sources. It is as easy to operate as it is to set up, but in order to take maximum advantage of the many advanced technologies within your new DPR, it is strongly recommended that you take a few minutes to read this owner’s manual.

If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation, we recommend that you contact your dealer or installer, as they are your best source of local information. You may also access a wealth of information and assistance by visiting our Web site at www.harmankardon.com.

Description and Features

Harman Kardon’s breakthrough Digital Path Receiver technology, of which the DPR 2005 is the second generation, keeps signals in the digital domain from the input to the output. Along with the newly designed PWM digital amplifier, this not only reduces signal degradation caused by digital-to-analog conversion stages; the increased efficiency makes it possible to reduce the DPR’s size and weight without sacrificing performance.

The DPR 2005 is designed to serve as the hub of your home entertainment system, providing a variety of listening options.When playing movies or other programming from digital formats such as DVD or HDTV, the DPR decodes Dolby* Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS

and DTS-ES.®Two-channel stereo and matrix surround sources benefit from the new Pro Logic IIx technology and DTS Neo:6.

A Harman Kardon exclu-

sive in receivers is the latest version of Logic 7

to create a wider, more enveloping sound field and more defined surround channel positioning, regardless of the type of source material. Additional processing options include MP3 decoding when connected to a compatible computer and HDCD

for enhanced CD playback.

Advanced technology is also at work even when only two speakers are used. Dolby Virtual Speaker modes and Harman International’s proprietary VMAx

are both available to create enveloping sound fields from the front left and right speakers, while Dolby Headphone circuitry creates an amazing sense of openness with headphones.

Along with the many listening options, the DPR 2005 offers numerous settings that let you customize the system. A Quadruple Crossover bass management system configures each speaker group for a different crossover setting, while the assignable, wide bandwidth component video inputs may be linked to any video source.To further enhance the viewing experience with digital video sources or advanced digital video displays, the DPR 2005’s A/V Sync Delay feature allows you to compensate for the loss of lip sync common in many video processing systems by delaying the audio signal independently for each input. An advanced version of Harman Kardon’s patented EzSet remote completes the package, making it easier than ever to set system output levels and to program the remote to operate virtually any program source.

The DPR 2005’s multizone options and a standard Zone II remote control make it possible to listen to a separate source in one room while the main home theater uses a different source.Thanks to assignable rear surround channel amplifiers, you may create a basic remote listening zone without any additional equipment. The unit’s Multiroom outputs may also be used to feed an optional, external power amplifier and volume control. For one-wire multiroom connectivity, the DPR 2005 is A-BUS Ready,

requiring only a single Category 5/5e cable and an optional remote module to power remote speakers while controlling volume and enabling full control over the program source and compatible IR-controlled devices.

Combining state-of-the-art circuitry, digital technology and proven performance with an elegant design that is compatible with the latest source components and video displays, the DPR 2005 represents the culmination of Harman Kardon’s 50-year history of delivering the finest sonic performance.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Important Safety Information

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

Your DPR 2005 has been designed for use with 120-volt AC current. Connection to a line voltage other than that for which it is intended can create a safety and fire hazard and may damage the unit.

If you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your specific model, or about the line voltage in your area, contact your selling dealer before plugging the unit into a wall outlet.

Do Not Use Extension Cords

To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord attached to your unit. We do not recommend that extension cords be used with this product. As with all electrical devices, do not run power cords under rugs or carpets or place heavy objects on them. Damaged power cords should be replaced immediately by an authorized service center with a cord meeting factory specifications.

Handle the AC Power Cord Gently

°· on the rear panel of the DPR 2005 to the matching digital input connections on a CD-R or MiniDisc recorder.

5. Assemble the AM loop antenna supplied with the unit

so that the tabs at the bottom of the antenna loop snap into the holes in the base. Connect it to the AM and GND Screw Terminals .

6. Connect the supplied FM antenna to the

FM (75-

Ohm

) Connection . The FM antenna may be

an external roof antenna, an inside powered or wire-lead antenna or a connection from a cable TV system. If the antenna or connection uses 300-

ohm twin-lead cable, you must use an optional 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adapter to make the connection.

7. Connect the front, center, surround and surround back speaker outputs

efgh to the respective

speakers.

To ensure that all the audio signals are carried to your speakers without loss of clarity or resolution, we suggest that you use high-quality speaker cable. Many brands of cable are available and the choice of cable may be influenced by the distance between your speakers and the receiver, the type of speakers you use, personal preferences and other factors. Your dealer or installer is a valuable resource to consult in selecting the proper cable.

Regardless of the brand of cable selected, we recommend that you use cable

with a gauge of 14 or smaller. Remember that in specifying cable, the lower the number, the thicker the cable.

Cable with a gauge of 16 may be used for short runs of less than ten feet. We do not recommend that you use cables with an AWG equivalent of 18 or higher, due to the power loss and degradation in performance that will occur.

Cables that are run inside walls should have the appropriate markings to indicate listing with UL, CSA or other appropriate testing agency standards. Questions about running cables inside walls should be referred to your installer or a licensed electrician who is familiar with the NEC and/or the applicable building codes in your area.

When connecting wires to the speakers, be certain to observe proper polarity. Note that the positive (+) terminal of each speaker connection now carries a specific color code, as noted on page 8. However, most speakers still use a red terminal for the positive connection. Connect the “negative” or “black” wire to the same terminal on both the receiver and the speaker.

NOTE: While most speaker manufacturers adhere to an industry convention of using black terminals for negative and red ones for positive, some may vary from this configuration. To ensure proper phase and optimal performance, consult the identification plate on your speaker or the speaker’s manual to verify polarity. If you do not know the polarity of your speaker, ask your dealer for advice before proceeding, or consult the speaker’s manufacturer.

We also recommend that the length of cable used to connect speaker pairs be identical. For example, use the same length piece of cable to connect the front-left and front-right or surround-left and sur-

round-right speakers, even if the speakers are a different distance from the DPR 2005.

8. Connections to a subwoofer are normally made via a line-level audio connection from the

Subwoofer

Output

› to the line-level input of a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier. When a passive subwoofer is used, the connection first goes to a power amplifier, which will be connected to one or more subwoofer speakers. If you are using a powered subwoofer that does not have line-level input connections, follow the instructions furnished with the speaker for connection information.

9. If an external multichannel audio source with 5.1 outputs such as an external digital processor/ decoder, DVD-Audio or SACD player is used, connect the outputs of that device to the

8-Channel Direct Inputs ﬁ.

Video Equipment Connections

Video equipment is connected in the same manner as audio components.Again, the use of high-quality interconnect cables is recommended to preserve signal quality.

1. Connect the composite video or S-Video Play/ Out jack of a VCR, Personal Video Receiver (PVR) or DVD-Recorder to the

Video 1 or Video 2 Video

Input Jacks

¢§ on the rear panel. Although any other video device may also be connected to these jacks, we particularly recommend that VCRs and PVRs be connected to the Video 1 Input Jacks so that you are able to take advantage of the remote control codes for these devices that are programmed for the “Video1/VCR” button of the unit’s remote control.

2. Connect the composite video or S-Video Record/In jacks of a VCR, Personal Video Recorder (PVR) or DVD-Recorder to the

Video 1 or Video 2 Video

Output Jacks

£∞ on the rear panel. Although any other video device may also be connected to these jacks, we particularly recommend that VCRs and PVRs be connected to the Video 1 Output Jacks so that you are able to take advantage of the remote control codes for these devices that are programmed for the “Video 1/VCR” button of the unit’s remote control.

3. Connect the composite video or S-Video Play/Out jacks of any video playback device to the

Video 3

or Video 4 Video Input Jacks ¡™ on the rear panel. Although any type of video source device may be connected to these jacks, the remote control has the commands for the Video 3 inputs set to control a cable set-top box and the commands for the Video 4 inputs set to control a satellite receiver. However, you may reassign the commands for any type of device to either button on the remote using

16 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

the instruction shown for “Changing Devices” as shown on page 43. You may also learn the codes for the device connected to any input by following the instructions for “Learning Codes” shown on page 42.

4. Connect the composite video or S-Video and analog left/right audio outputs of a DVD player to the DVD Input Jacks ¶ on the rear panel.

5. Connect the optical or coaxial digital audio outputs of a DVD player, satellite receiver, cable box, HDTV tuner or video game to any of the

Optical or

Coaxial Digital Inputs ﬂ‡HJ. The recom-

mended connection for a DVD player is to use a Coaxial digital link connected to the Coaxial Digital Audio Input 1, but you may change the digital audio input assignment for any source using the IN/OUT SETUP menu as described on page 21 or the

Digital Input Selector Ep

on the front panel or remote, as described on page 33.

NOTE: When connecting a device such as a digital cable box or other set-top tuner product with a digital audio output, we recommend that you connect both the digital and analog outputs of the product to your DPR. The audio input polling feature of the DPR will then be able to make certain that you have a constant audio feed, since it will automatically switch the audio input to the analog jacks if the digital feed is interrupted or not available for a particular channel.

6. Connect the

Video Monitor Output • jacks on

the receiver to the composite or S-Video input of your television monitor or video projector.

7. If your DVD Player has Y/Pr/Pb analog component video outputs, connect them to the

Component

Video 1 Inputs

i. Although this set of inputs may be assigned to any of the five video inputs on the DPR 2005, the factory default is for this input to be assigned to the

DVD Inputs ¶. Remember to

make a digital audio connection between the DVD player and the DPR, with the

Coaxial Digital

Input 1

ﬂ being the factory default. For information on changing the input assignments for either the component video jacks or the DVD player’s audio connection, see page 21.

8. If you have other devices with Y/Pr/Pb or RGB component video outputs, connect the source device to the

Component Video 2 Inputs j.

The audio connections may be made to the

Video

4 Inputs

¡™¢§ or the Optical or Coaxial

Digital Inputs

ﬂ‡HJ. When using either of the Component Video Inputs, make certain that the audio and video inputs are properly configured in the

IN/OUT SETUP menu, as described

on page 21.

9. If the component video inputs are used, connect the

Component Video Monitor Outputs k to

the component video inputs of your TV, projector or other display device.

10.If you have a camcorder, video game or other

audio/video device that is connected to the DPR on a temporary, rather than permanent, basis, connect the audio, video and digital audio outputs of that device to

the Front-Panel Inputs HJK.A

device connected

here is selected as the Video 5 input, and the digital inputs must be assigned to the Video 5 input. (See page 21 for more information on input configuration.)

Video Connection Notes:

• When the component video jacks are used, the onscreen menus are not visible and you must switch to the standard composite or S-Video input on your TV to view them. For this reason, we recommend that you always make a composite or S-Video connection between the DPR and your video display, even if all the sources in use have component video outputs.

• The DPR 2005 will accept either standard composite, S-Video or Y/Pr/Pb component video signals. However, it will not convert composite or S signals to component video. Component or composite video signals may only be viewed in their native formats.

• We strongly recommend that a composite or SVideo connection be made from any video source even when a component connection is the primary playback mode.This enables the DPR to provide a feed to a record output, provided that simultaneous composite and component playback are possible.

System and Power Connections

The DPR 2005 is designed for flexible use with multiroom systems, external control components and power amplifiers.

Main Room Remote Control Extension

If the receiver is placed behind a solid or smoked glass cabinet door, the obstruction may prevent the remote sensor from receiving commands. In this event, an optional remote sensor may be used. Connect the output of the remote sensor to the Remote IR Input  jack.

If other components are also prevented from receiving remote commands, only one sensor is needed. Simply use this unit’s sensor or a remote eye by running a connection from the

Remote IR Output  jack to

the Remote IR Input jack on Harman Kardon or other compatible equipment.

Multiroom IR Link

The remote room IR receiver should be connected to the

Multiroom IR Input  jack on the DPR 2005’s

rear panel.

If other Harman Kardon compatible source equipment is part of the main room installation, the

Remote IR

Outputjack on the rear panel should be connected

to the IR IN jack on source equipment. This will enable the remote room location to control source equipment functions.

NOTE: All remotely controlled components must be linked together in a “daisy chain.” Connect the

IR OUT

jack of one unit to the IR IN of the next to establish this chain.

Multiroom Audio Connections

The DPR 2005 is equipped with multizone capabilities that allow it to send an audio source to the remote zone that i s different from the one selected for use in the main room. Please note that this capability applies to analog inputs from sources such as the DPR’s tuner, tape decks or VCRs. If you wish to use a source such as a DVD or CD player that is normally connected via a digital connection, it is necessary to run an analog connection from the source to the DPR or to use the Main Downmix input option, as explained on page 39.

Depending on your system’s requirement, three options are available for audio connection:

Option 1: Use high-quality, shielded audio interconnect cable from the DPR 2005’s location to the remote room. In the remote room, connect the interconnect cable to an optioinal external stereo power amplifier. The amplifier will be connected to the room’s speakers.At the DPR 2005, plug the audio interconnect cables into the

Multiroom Audio Outputs ª

on the DPR 2005’s rear panel.

Option 2: Connect the Multiroom Audio Outputs ª on the DPR 2005 to the inputs of an optional stereo power amplifier. Run high-quality speaker wire from the amplifier to the speakers in the remote room.

Option 3: Taking advantage of the DPR 2005’s builtin seven-channel amplifier, it is possible to use two of the amplifier channels to power speakers in the remote room. When using this option you will not be able to use the full 7.1-channel capabilities of the DPR 2005 in the main listening room, but you will be able to add another listening room without external power amplifiers.To use the internal amplifiers to power a remote zone, connect the speakers for the remote room location to the

Surround Back/Multiroom

operation by changing a setting (following the instructions shown on page 39) in the

MULTI-ROOM

SETUP

menu.

NOTE: For all options, you may connect an optional IR sensor in the remote room to the DPR 2005 via an appropriate cable. Connect the sensor’s cable to the Multiroom IR Input  on the DPR 2005 and use the Zone II remote to control the room volume. Alternatively, you may install an optional volume control between the output of the amplifiers and the speakers.

A-BUS®Installation Connections

The DPR 2005 is among the very few receivers available today that offer built-in A-BUS Ready operation. When used with an optional A-BUS keypad or control module, you have all the benefits of remote zone operation without the need for an external power amplifier.

To use the DPR 2005 with an approved A-BUS product, simply connect the keypad or module that is in the remote room to the DPR 2005 using standard Category 5 wiring that is properly rated for the in-wall use specific to the installation. Terminate the wiring at the receiver end to a standard RJ-45 connector in compliance with the instructions furnished with the A-BUS module.

No further installation or adjustment is needed, as the A-BUS jack on the DPR 2005 routes the signals in and out of the keypad to their proper destination for power, signal source and control. The output fed to the A-BUS jack is determined by the DPR 2005’s multiroom system and menus.

RS-232 Connections

The DPR 2005 is equipped with an RS-232 Port a that may be used for two purposes.When the port is connected to a compatible, optional, external computer, keypad or control system the DPR 2005 is capable of bi-directional communications that enable the external system to control the DPR, and for the DPR to report status and handshake data back to the controller. Use of the RS-232 port for this type of control requires specific technical knowledge, and we recommend that any connection and programming for control be made by a trained installer or technician familiar with the equipment being used.

The RS-232 port may also be used as an access point through which the DPR 2005’s operating system and surround mode memories may be updated via connection to a compatible computer. At the time that an upgrade is available, instructions for making the connection and installing the upgrade will be available through the Product Support area of the Harman Kardon Web site at harmankardon.com.

The physical connection to the DPR 2005’s RS-232 port is a standard D-SUB 9 connection but to assure compatible and proper operation, specific software commands and pin wiring schemes may be required.

AC Power Connections

This unit is equipped with two accessory AC outlets. They may be used to power accessory devices, but they should not be used with high-current draw equipment such as power amplifiers.The total power draw to each outlet may not exceed 100 watts.

The

Switched AC Accessory Outlet d is powered

only when the unit is on. This is recommended for devices that have a mechanical power switch that may be left in the “ON” position.

NOTE: Many audio and video products go into a Standby mode when they are used with switched outlets.This type of product may not operate properly when used with the switched outlet.

The

Unswitched AC Accessory Outlet c is

powered as long as the DPR is plugged into a powered AC outlet.

The DPR 2005 features a removable power cord that allows wires to be run in advance to a complex installation so that the unit itself need not be installed until it is ready for connection. When all needed connections have been made, connect the AC Power cord to the

AC Power Cord Jack b.

The DPR 2005 draws significantly more current than other household devices, such as computers, that use removable power cords. For that reason, it is important that only the cord supplied with the unit (or a direct replacement of identical capacity) be used.

Once the power cord is connected, you are almost ready to enjoy the DPR 2005’s incredible power and fidelity!

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 19

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

When all audio, video and system connections have been made, there are a few configuration adjustments that must be made.A few minutes spent to correctly configure and calibrate the unit will greatly add to your listening experience.

Speaker Selection and Placement

The placement of speakers in a multichannel home theater system can have a noticeable impact on the quality of sound reproduced.

No matter which type or brand of speakers is used, the same model or brand of speaker should be used for the left front, center and right front speakers. This creates a seamless front soundstage and eliminates the possibility of distracting sonic disturbances that occur when a sound moves across mismatched front-channel speakers.

Speaker Placement

Depending on the type of center channel speaker

in use and your viewing device, place the center speaker either directly above or below your TV, or in the center behind a perforated front-projection screen.

Once the center channel speaker is installed, position the front left and front right speakers so that they are as far away from one another as the center channel speaker is from the preferred listening position. Ideally, the front channel speakers should be placed so that their tweeters are no more than 24" above or below the tweeter in the center channel speaker.

Depending on the specifics of your room acoustics and the type of speakers in use, you may find that imaging is improved by moving the left front and right front speakers slightly forward of the center channel speaker. If possible, adjust all front loudspeakers so that they are aimed at ear height when you are seated in the listening position.

Using these guidelines, you’ll find that it takes some experimentation to find the correct location for the front speakers in your particular installation. Don’t be afraid to move things around until the system sounds correct. Optimize your speakers so that audio transitions across the front of the room sound smooth, and that sounds from all speakers appear to arrive at the listening position at the same time (without delay from the center speaker compared to the left and right speakers).

When the DPR 2005 is used in 5.1-channel operation, the preferred location for surround speakers is on the side walls of the room, at or slightly behind the listening position. In a 7.1-channel system, both side surround and back surround speakers are required. The center of the speaker should face into the room.

A) Front-Channel Speaker Installation With Direct-View TV Sets or Rear-Screen Projectors

B) Rear speaker mounting is an alternate location for

5.1 systems. It is required for 7.1 operation.

The speakers should be located so that the bottom of the cabinet is at least two feet higher than the listeners’ ears when the listeners are seated in the desired area.

Rear surround speakers are required when a full 7.1channel system is installed, and they may also be used in 5.1 channel systems as an alternative mounting position when it is not practical to place the main surround speakers on the sides of the room. Speakers

may be placed on a rear wall, behind the listening position. As with the side speakers, rear surrounds should be located so that the bottom of the cabinet is at least two feet higher than the listeners’ ears.The speakers should be no more than six feet behind the rear of the seating area.

If dipole-type speakers are used on either the side or rear walls of the room, please note that if there are arrows on the speakers they should face the front of the room for the side speakers, or towards the center of the wall for the rear speakers.

Subwoofers produce nondirectional sound, so they may be placed almost anywhere in a room. Actual placement should be based on room size and shape and the type of subwoofer used. One method of finding the optimal location for a subwoofer is to begin by placing it in the front of the room, about six inches from a wall, or near the front corner of the room. Another method is to temporarily place the subwoofer at your normal listening position, and then walk around the room until you find a spot where the subwoofer sounds best. Place the subwoofer in that spot. You should also follow the instructions of the subwoofer’s manufacturer, or you may wish to experiment with the best location for a subwoofer in your listening room.

System Setup

Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the remaining steps in the setup process are to assign input and output connections, select a surround mode, program the DPR 2005’s bass management system for the type of speakers used in your system, set the delay times used by the surround sound processor and calibrate the output levels.

You are now ready to power up the DPR 2005 to begin these final adjustments.

1. Make certain that the AC power cord is firmly inserted into the

AC Power Cord Jack b

and plug the cord into an unswitched AC outlet. To maintain the unit’s safety rating, DO NOT substitute the power cord for one with lower current capacity.

2. Open the

Front-Panel Control Door @ by

gently pushing in on the lower left or right corner. Locate the

Main Power Switch A and push it

in until it latches and the word “OFF” on the top of the switch disappears inside the front panel. Note that the

Standby/On Indicator 1 will turn

amber, indicating that the unit is in the Standby mode.

Using the On-Screen Display

When making the following adjustments, you may find it easier to use the DPR 2005’s on-screen display system. These easy-to-read displays give you a clear picture of the current status of the unit and make it easy to see which speaker, delay, input or digital selection you are making.

To view the on-screen menus, make certain you have made a connection from the

Video Monitor Out

Jack

• on the rear panel to the composite or SVideo input of your TV or projector. In order to view the DPR 2005’s displays, the correct video source must be selected on the video display.The on-screen menus are not available when a component video display is in use.

IMPORTANT NOTE:When viewing the on-screen menus using a CRT-based projector, plasma display or direct-view CRT monitor or television, it is important that they not be left on for an extended period of time.The constant display of a static image such as these menus may cause the image to be permanently “burned into” the projection tubes, plasma screen or CRT. This type of damage is not covered by the DPR 2005 warranty and may not be covered by the projector/TV set’s warranty.

The DPR 2005 has two on-screen display modes, “Semi-OSD” and “Full-OSD.” When making configuration adjustments, it is recommended that the full-OSD mode be used. This will place an easily viewed list of the available options on the screen.

Making Configuration Adjustments

The full-OSD system is available by pressing the OSD Button . When this button is pressed, the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) will appear, and adjustments are made from the individual menus.

Figure 1

The semi-OSD system is also available, allowing you to make adjustments directly, by pressing the appropriate buttons on the front panel or remote control for the specific parameter to be adjusted. For example, to change the digital input for any of the sources, press the

Digital Select Button p and then press the

⁄/¤

Navigation Button o to scroll through the

list of options as they appear in the on-screen display or in the

Lower Display Line &.

To use the full-OSD menu system, press the

OSD

Button

. When the menu is on the screen, press

the ⁄/¤Navigation Button o until the on-screen ➔ cursor is next to the item you wish to adjust, and then press the

Set Button q to adjust that item.

The menus will remain on the screen for 20 seconds, and then they will “time-out” and disappear from

the screen. The time-out may be increased to as much as 50 seconds by going to the

ADVANCED

SELECT

menu, and changing the item titled

FULL OSD TIME OUT.

When the full-OSD system is in use, the menu selections are not shown in the

Upper or Lower Display

Lines

^&. When the full-OSD menu system is

used,

OSD ON will appear in the Upper Display

Line

^ to remind you that a video display must be used. When the semi-OSD system is used in conjunction with the discrete configuration buttons, the onscreen display will show a single line of text with the current menu selection. That selection will also be shown in the

Upper or Lower Display Lines ^&,

depending on which parameter is being adjusted.

Setting the System Configuration Memory

The DPR 2005 features an advanced memory system that enables you to establish different configurations for the speaker “size,” component video assignment, digital input, surround mode and crossover frequency for each input source.This flexibility enables you to custom-tailor the way in which you listen to each

source and have the DPR 2005 memorize those settings.This means, for example, that you may set different speaker configurations with the resultant changes to the bass management system. Once these settings are made, they will automatically be recalled whenever you select that input.

The factory default settings for the DPR 2005 have all inputs except for DVD and Video 3 configured for an analog audio input, the

Coaxial Digital Audio Input 1

ﬂ for DVD and the Optical Digital Input 1 ‡ is the default for Video 3. The default speaker settings are “Small” at all positions, with the Subwoofer on. The default setting for the surround modes is Logic 7 Music for analog sources. Dolby Digital or DTS will automatically be selected as appropriate when a digital source is in use.

Before using the unit, you may want to change the settings for some inputs so that they are properly configured to reflect the use of digital or analog inputs, the type of speakers installed and the surround mode specifics of your home theater system. Remember that since the DPR 2005 memorizes the settings for each input individually, you will need to make these adjustments for each input used. However, once they are made, further adjustment is only required when system components are changed.

To make this process as quick and as easy as possible, we suggest that you use the full-OSD system with the on-screen menus, and step through each input. Once you have completed the settings for the first input, many settings may be duplicated for the remaining inputs. It is also a good idea to set the configuration data in the order these items are listed in the MASTER MENU, as some settings require a specific entry in a prior menu item.

Input Setup

The first step is to configure each input. Once an input is selected,

the settings for the Digital Input, Component Video assignment and Surround Mode will “attach” themselves to that input and be stored in a nonvolatile memory.This means that once made, the selection of an input will automatically recall those settings. For that reason, the procedures described below must be repeated for each input source so that you have the opportunity to custom tailor each source to your specific listening requirements. However, once made they need not be changed again unless you need to alter a setting. The configuration settings for speaker “size” may be set once and applied to all inputs, or you may select a different speaker configuration for each input using the

INDEPENDENT

setting, as described on page 26.

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 2005’s Auto Polling feature allows you to avoid losing the audio feed when this happens by permitting 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

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 signal 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.

As a reminder, to ensure that a signal feed is always available to the record output jacks, we recommend that an analog connection be made as a fallback for all digital sources.This is key with sources such as cable set-tops to ensure that a record feed will continue in the event that the digital audio stream is not available when channels are changed.

When all needed adjustments have been made, press the

Navigation Button o until the ➔ cursor is

next to

BACK TO MASTER MENU to con-

tinue with the system configuration.

Audio Setup

This menu allows you to configure the tone controls and to turn the upsampling on or off. If you do not wish to change any of those settings at this time, proceed to the next menu screen. However, to make configuration changes to those parameters, make certain that the

MASTER MENU is on the screen

with the

➔ cursor pointing to the AUDIO

SETUP

line, and press the Set Button q. The

AUDIO SETUP menu (Figure 3) will appear.

Figure 3

The first line controls whether the bass/treble tone controls are in the signal path. The normal default is for them to be in-line, but if you wish to remove them from the circuit for “flat” response, first make certain that the

➔ cursor is pointing to the TONE line on

the menu and press the

‹/› Navigation Button

o so that OUT is highlighted in reverse video.

When the tone controls in the signal path, the amount off boost or cut for bass and treble may be adjusted by pressing the

⁄/¤ Navigation Button o so

that the

➔ cursor is next to the line for the setting you

wish to adjust. Next, press the

‹/› Navigation

Button

o until the desired setting is shown.

This menu also includes a setting to turn the unit’s upsampling feature on or off. In normal use, this feature is turned off, which means that digital sources are processed at their native sample rate. For example, a 48kHz digital source will be processed at 48kHz. However, the DPR 2005 allows you to upsample the incoming 48kHz signals to 96kHz for added resolution.

To take advantage of this feature, press the

⁄/¤

Navigation Button o so that the ➔ cursor is next to the

UPSAMPLING line and press the ‹/›

Navigation Button o so that ON is highlighted in reverse video. Note that this feature is only available for the Dolby Pro Logic II and Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie and Music and Dolby Pro Logic modes.

Speaker Optimizer

The Speaker Optimization function is critical to ensure optimal performance of the DPR, as it tells the digital amplifier section how to best match its operation to your specific speakers. Note that this adjustment is electronic, not electrical, and unlike the “8-ohm/4-ohm” switches on older analog amplifiers, you do not need to turn the DPR off to change the setting. However, we do suggest that you do not have any program material playing through the DPR when the setting is changed.

Before making this adjustment you will need to find the impedance specification for your speakers.This information is often found on a label attached to the speaker, and it is usually shown in the owner’s manual that came with your speakers. If you cannot find the information for your speakers, consult the manufacturer’s Web site or customer service department.

In cases where the speakers in a system have different impedance ratings, such as 8 ohms for the front left/right and center speakers and 6 ohms for the surround speakers, use the setting for the front speakers, as they are used most often for all types of program material.

If you cannot determine the speaker’s impedance, there is no harm in using the factory default setting of 8 ohms, as most home speakers are in that range. However, if it appears that your system’s performance in the highfrequency range sounds constricted at high volume levels, you may want to experiment with the 6-ohm or 4-ohm setting.

If your speakers match the factory default setting of 8 ohms, no further adjustment is needed, and you may exit

this menu by pressing the

¤ Navigation Button o

so that the ➔ cursor is pointing to the BACK TO

MASTER MENU

line and then press the Set

Button

q. If you do need to change the setting,

press the

‹/› Navigation Button o until the

desired impedance setting appears. When all desired changes have been made on this

menu, press the

⁄/¤ Navigation Button o

so that the ➔ cursor is next to the BACK TO

MAIN MENU

line and press the Set Button q.

Surround Setup

he next step is to set the surround mode you wish to use with the input that was previously selected in the

IN/OUT SETUP menu. 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 2005, it is best to select Dolby Pro Logic II (Movie or Music) or Logic 7 (Cinema or Music) 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 multichannel program material, and it is unlikely that sur

round-encoded material will be used. Alternatively,

the

Logic 7 Music mode is a good choice for stereo-only source material. See page 32 for more information on available surround modes.

For digital program material, the DPR will always examine the data stream and automatically select a Dolby Digital or DTS mode as applicable.

It is easiest to complete the surround setup using the full-OSD on-screen menus. From the

MASTER

MENU (Figure 1), press the ⁄/¤Navigation

Button

o until the ➔ cursor is next to the

Each of the option lines on this menu (Figure 4) selects the surround mode category, and within each of those categories there will be a choice of the specific mode options.

The choice of modes will vary according to the speaker configuration in your system. When the

SURR

BACK

line of the SPEAKER SETUP menu

(Figure 7) is set to

NONE the DPR 2005 will be configured for 5.1-channel operation, and only the modes appropriate to a five-speaker system will appear. When the

SURR BACK line of the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 7) is set to SMALL or LARGE, the DPR 2005 will be con-

figured for 6.1/7.1-channel operation, and additional modes such as Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx and DTS-ES will appear, as they are only available when seven main speakers are present. In addition, some of the modes available in the DPR 2005 will not appear unless a digital source is selected and is playing the correct bitstream.

To select the mode that will be used as the initial default for an input, first press the ⁄/¤Navigation Button o until the on-screen cursor is next to the desired mode’s master category name, such as

DOLBY

The following paragraphs detail the instructions needed for modes with multiple choices.

On the

DOLBY SURROUND menu (Fig. 5), choices include Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Movie and Music, Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference or Wide. For a complete descripton of the different Dolby Surround modes, see page 32. The Dolby Digital EX and Dolby Pro Logic IIx modes are only available when the system is set for 6.1/7.1 operation by configuring the Surround Back speakers to “Small” or “Large” as described on page 24. When a disc is playing with a Dolby Digital soundtrack that contains a special “flag” signal in the data stream, the Dolby Digital EX mode will be selected automatically. It may also be selected using this menu or through the front-panel or remote controls as shown on page 31. A complete explanation of these modes is found on page 32.

Figure 5

When the ➔ cursor is pointing to the MODE line, press the

‹/›

Navigation Buttons o to select the

desired Dolby surround mode, again remembering that the choice of available modes will vary with the type of program material being played and the number of speakers in your system configuratioin.

When Dolby Pro Logic II Music or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music is selected as the listening mode, three special settings are available to tailor the sound field to your listening room environment and your individual taste and preferences. (When other Dolby Surround modes are selected, dotted lines will indicate that these settings are not active.)

• Center Width: This setting adjusts the balance of the vocal information in the front soundstage between the center and front left/right speakers.The lower settings spread the center channel sound more broadly into the left and right channels.A higher number (up to “7”) produces a tighter center channel presentatioin.

• Dimension: This setting alters the perceived depth of the surround field by creating a shallower presentation that appears to move sounds toward the front of the room, or a deeper presentation that appears to move the center of the sound field toward the back of the room. The setting of “O” is a neutral default, with the range of adjustment shown as “R-3” for a deeper, rear-oriented sound to “F-3” for a shallower, front-oriented sound.

• Panorama: Switch this setting on or off to add an enveloping wrap-around presentation that increases the perception of sound along the sides of the room.

To change these parameters, press the

‹/›

Navigation Buttons o to alter the setting to your taste.

When the DOLBY DIGITAL mode is selected,

there are additional settings available for

the Night mode, as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6

The Night mode is a feature of Dolby Digital that preserves the dynamic range and full intelligibility of a movie soundtrack while reducing the peak level. This prevents abruptly loud transitions from disturbing others, without reducing the sonic impact of a digital source.The Night mode is only available when specially encoded Dolby Digital signals are played.

To adjust the Night mode setting, make certain that the ➔ cursor is on the NIGHT line of the DOLBY menu. Next, press ‹/›Navigation Button o to choose between the following settings, as they appear in the on-screen display:

OFF:When OFF is highlighted, the Night mode will not function.

MID:When MID is highlighted, a mild compres- sion will be applied.

MAX:When MAX is highlighted, a more severe compression algorithm will be applied.

We recommend that you select the

MID setting as

a starting point and change to the

MAX setting later,

if desired.

The Night mode may also be adjusted directly any time a Dolby Digital source is playing by pressing the

Night Mode Button . When the button is

pressed,

D-RANGE will appear in the lower third

Press the ‹/›Navigation Button o to scroll through the choices available for your system and the program in use.The DTS Neo:6 Music mode is available with analog and PCM digital stereo sources and the DTS Neo:6 Cinema mode may be used with matrix surround-encoded sources for an enhanced 5.1-channel sound field.

When the 5.1 configuration is in use, the DPR will automatically select the 5.1 version of DTS processing when a DTS data stream is detected. When the 6.1/

7.1 mode is selected, the DTS-ES Discrete mode will automatically be activated for DTS sources with the ES Discrete “flag.” When a non-ES DTS disc is in use, you may select the DTS-ES Matrix mode to create a full

7.1 surround mode. See page 32 for an explanation of the DTS modes.

When an analog or two-channel PCM source is playing, the DTS Neo:6 modes are available, which creates a three-, five- or six-channel presentation of the sound. The exact modes available will depend on the number of speaker positions established in the SPEAKER SETUP menu. (See page 25 to configure the system for the number and type of speakers in your system.)

On the

LOGIC 7

menu, the choices available made with the ‹/›Navigation Button o are determined by whether the 5.1- or 6.1/7.1-channel configuration is in use. In either case, the selection of a Logic 7 mode enables Harman Kardon’s exclusive Logic 7 processing to create multichannel surround from two-channel stereo- or matrix-encoded programming such as VHS cassettes or television broadcasts produced with Dolby Surround.

With 5.1 configurations, you may select the Logic 7/5.1 Music, Cinema or Enhance modes. They work best with surround-encoded programs or two-channel programming of any type. For 6.1/7.1 configurations, the Music and Cinema modes may be selected. The Logic 7 modes are not available when either Dolby Digital or DTS Digital soundtracks are in use. See page 32 for an explanation of the Logic 7 modes.

On the

the DSP surround modes designed for use with twochannel stereo programs to create a variety of sound field presentations.The Hall and Theater modes are designed for multichannel installations, while the two VMAx modes are optimized for use in delivering a full surround field when only front left and front right speakers are installed. See page 32 for an explanation of the DSP surround modes.

On the

Speaker Setup

This menu tells the DPR 2005 which type of speakers are in use.This is important as it adjusts the settings that decide whether your system will use the “5-channel” or “6-channel/7-channel” modes, as well as determining which speakers receive low-frequency (bass) information.

For each of these settings, use the

LARGE setting if the speakers for a particular position are traditional full-range loudspeakers. Use the

SMALL setting for smaller, frequency-limited satellite speakers that do not reproduce sounds below 200Hz. Note that when “small” speakers are used, a subwoofer is required to reproduce low-frequency sounds. Remember that the “large” and “small” descriptions do not refer to the actual physical size of the speakers, but to their ability to reproduce low-frequency

sounds. If you are in

doubt as to which category

describes your speakers, consult the specifications in the speakers’ owner’s manual, or ask your dealer.

This menu screen also allows you to enter the settings for the DPR 2005’s Quadruple Crossover feature which allows a different crossover point to be used for the front left/right, center, surround and surround back speakers. In systems where full-range or tower speakers are used for the front soundstage or where different brands or models are in use at the various speaker positions, this feature allows you to customize the bass management and redirection circuits with a precision not previously possible.

It is easiest to enter the proper settings for the speaker setup through the

SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 7). If that menu is not already on your screen from the prior adjustments, press the

OSD Button

 to bring up the MASTER MENU (Figure 1), and then press the

¤ Navigation Button o until

the cursor is on the

Figure 7

The first line of the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 7) allows you to switch the menu to change either the underlying speaker size setting or the exact crossover point used for that speaker group. For the first pass through the menu, leave the setting at its default option of

SIZE, and then proceed as outlined below. Once the speaker choices have been set, you may wish to return to this line to change the option so that the crossover settings may be adjusted.

Begin the speaker setup process by making certain that the cursor is pointing at the

LEFT/RIGHT line, which sets the configuration for the front left and right speakers. If you wish to make a change to the front speakers’ configuration, press the

‹/›

Navigation

Button

o so that either LARGE or SMALL appears, matching the appropriate description from the definitions shown above.

When

SMALL is selected, low-frequency sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer output. If you choose this option and no subwoofer is connected, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from the front channels.

When

LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the front left and front right outputs. Depending on the choice made in the

SUBWOOFER line in this menu, bass and/or LFE information may also be directed to the subwoofer.

When you have completed your selection for the front channels, press the

When LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the center speaker output, and NO center channel signal will be sent to the subwoofer output.

NOTE: If you choose Logic 7 as the surround mode for the particular input source for which you are configuring your speakers, the DPR 2005 will not make the LARGE option available for the center speaker. This is due to the requirements of Logic 7 processing, and does not indicate a problem with your receiver.

When

NONE is selected, no signals will be sent to the center channel output. The receiver will operate in a “phantom” center channel mode and center channel information will be sent to the left and right front channel outputs.When only front left and right speakers are used, with no center or surround speakers, VMAx is a good alternative mode.

When you have completed your selection for the center channel, press the

When

LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the surround channel outputs, and NO surround channel signals will be sent to the subwoofer.

When

NONE is selected, surround sound information will be split between the front left/right outputs. For optimal performance with no surround speakers, use the Dolby Virtual Speaker mode.

When you have completed your selections for the main surround channels, press the

¤ Navigation

Button

o to move the cursor to SURR BACK. This line serves two functions: It not only configures the setting for the surround back channels if present; it also tells the DPR 2005’s processing system to set the unit for either 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 operation.

In addition to the speaker “size,”

MAIN or

MULTI will appear on this line to display the Sur-

round Back channel amplifier status.When

MAIN

appears, the unit is set for 7.1-channel operation. When

MULTI appears, the Surround Back amplifier channels have been reconfigured so that they are fed by the output of the Multiroom system. See page 39 for more information on configuring the Surround Back amplifier channels.

Press the

‹/› Navigation Button o on the

remote to select the option that best describes the speakers in use at the left and right back surround positions based on the definitions on this page:

When

NONE is selected, the system will adjust so that only 5.1-channel modes are available.When this is the case for your system, you may wish to use the surround back amplifier channels to power a second set of speakers whose source is selected by the DPR 2005’s multiroom system. See page 39 for more information.

When

SMALL is selected, the system will adjust so that the full complement of 6.1/7.1

modes are available, and low-frequency information below the crossover point will be sent to the subwoofer output. If you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from the surround back channels.

When

LARGE is selected, the system will adjust so that the full complement of 6.1/7.1 surround processing/decoding modes are available, and a full-range signal will be sent to the surround back channels, with no low-frequency information sent to the subwoofer output.

When you have completed your selection for the surround back channels, press the

Navigation

Button

o to move the cursor to SUBWOOFER.

Press the

‹/›

Navigation Button o to select the

option that best describes your system.

The choices available for the subwoofer position will depend on the settings for the other speakers, particularly the front left/right positions.

If the front left/right speakers are set to

SMALL,

the subwoofer will automatically be set to

SUB,

which is the “on” position.

If the front left/right speakers are set to

LARGE,

three options are available:

• If no subwoofer is connected to the DPR 2005, press the

‹/›

Navigation Button o until

NONE appears.With this option, all bass information

will be routed to the front left/right “main”

speakers.

• If a subwoofer is connected to the DPR 2005, you have the option to have the front left/right “main” speakers reproduce bass frequencies at all times, and have the subwoofer operate only when the DPR 2005 is being used with a digital source that contains a dedicated low-frequency effects, or LFE soundtrack. This allows you to use both your main and subwoofer speakers to take advantage of the special bass sounds created for some movies. Press

‹/›

Navigation Button o until

SUB (LFE) appears.

• If a subwoofer is connected and you wish to use it for bass reproduction in conjunction with the main front left/right speakers, regardless of the type of program source or Surround mode you are listening to, press the

‹/›

Navigation Button o

until SUB L/R+LFE appears. When this option is selected, a full-range signal will be sent to the front left/right “main” speakers, and the subwoofer will receive LFE information and the bass frequencies under the selected crossover point.

When all initial speaker “size” settings have been made, you now have the option to take advantage of the DPR 2005’s Quadruple Crossover system, which allows individual crossover settings to be made for each speaker group.The low-frequency crossover point is set by the design of your speakers. Depending on the design and driver complement of your speakers, it is defined as the frequency which is either the lowest possible frequency the speaker is capable of reproducing, or the frequency at which sound is sent to the speaker’s internal low-frequency driver, as opposed to the midrange driver.

Before making any changes to the settings for the crossover point, we suggest that you find the crossover point for the speakers in each of the four groupings, front left/right, center front, surround and surround back, by looking at the specifications page of each speaker’s owner’s manual, by getting that information from the manufacturer’s Web site, or by contacting your dealer or the manufacturer’s customer service department. You will need this figure to accurately configure the next group of settings.

Note that when any speaker group other than the front left/right speakers is set to

LARGE, the crossover may not be adjusted, as the feed will be full-range, with no sound being derived for the subwoofer from that position.

The factory default setting for all speaker positions is 100Hz. If that setting is acceptable for all channels, then no adjustments are needed and you may skip this section. However, should you wish to change one of the settings, please proceed by pressing the

⁄

Navigation Button o so that the cursor

moves back up to the

To change the setting for any of the four speaker groups, press the

⁄/¤

Navigation Button o until

the cursor is next to the speaker group where you wish to make a change and then press the

‹/›

Navigation Button o until the desired setting appears.The available choices for low-frequency information to be sent to the subwoofer, rather than to the main speaker channel, are 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz and 200Hz. Pick the choice that is identical to the information for the speakers, or if an exact match is not possible, pick the closest choice that is ABOVE the speaker’s low-frequency limit or crossover point to avoid the creation of a lowfrequency “hole” where your system will have no bass information.

The setting for the crossover point for the LFE channel, which is created to provide specific low-frequency information in many movies with digital soundtracks, may be set to match the crossover for any of the four speaker groups. Since the crossover point commonly used in the creation of the LFE channel is 120Hz, we recommend that you select the speaker group whose crossover point is closest to 120Hz. To do this, press the

⁄/¤ Navigation Button o until the cursor

is next to the

LFE line, and then press the ‹/

›

Navigation Button o until the name of the speaker group with the desired crossover frequency appears. Of course, you may also experiment with different settings to find the one that provides the smoothest and most complete bass response in your particular listening environment.

When all crossover settings have been made, or in those cases where none are needed, press the

Navigation Button o so that the cursor is next to the

BASS MGR line to make the final setting on

this menu.

This setting allows you to use the same speaker configuration and crossover settings for all inputs, or to have different settings for each input. In most cases, the factory default setting of

GLOBAL will be appropriate, as most systems do not need individual speaker settings. However, when full-range front speakers are used for both movies and music, different bass management settings may be used when listening to music through a CD player as opposed

to a movie from a DVD player, VCR or cable/satellite set-top.

To customize the speaker-size configurations to each input, make certain that the

MODE line of the

SPEAKER SETUP menu is set to SIZE,

and that the cursor is on the

BASS MGR line.

Press the

‹/›

Navigation Button o so that

INDEPENDENT appears in highlighted video. When this choice is entered by exiting the menu, the settings just entered will apply to the current input ONLY, and you will need to go back to the IN/OUT menu to select another input, and then return to this menu page to change the settings for the next input. Repeat the procedure for any input where you wish to have a different set of speaker configuration and crossover settings.

NOTE: The inidependent feature allows you to select a different speaker size configuration (Large, Small or None, as appropriate) for each input source. However, the individual crossover point setting may only be set once, and the selection made during the initial setup will be used for all inputs, regardless of any changes made to the “Large” or “Small” settings for the speaker groups attached to any input. The reason is that while you may prefer different settings for the bass redirection (that is, which signals go to the subwoofer or the speaker group), the actual crossover point remains the same since the actual loudspeakers themselves remain the same regardless of any other setting.

When all speaker selections have been made, press the

Navigation Button o and then the Set

Button

q to return to the MASTER MENU.

Delay Settings

Due to the different distances between the listening position and each speaker position, the amount of time it takes for sound to reach your ears from each channel is different. You may compensate for this difference through the use of the delay settings to adjust the timing for the speaker placement and acoustic conditions in your listening room or home theater.

The DPR 2005’s advanced software enables you to quickly and easily set delay times without the need to calculate them using a complex formula. Instead, all you need to do is measure the approximate distance between your listening position and each of the speakers in your system. When you enter those distances into the DPR’s memory as shown below, the DPR’s microprocessor does the rest of the work, calculating the proper delay time.The measurements need not be accurate to the inch, as the system is designed to accommodate a typical listening area rather than require the precise measurement to one “sweet spot” position.

In addition to adjusting the delay time for each individual speaker position, the DPR 2005 is among the few receivers that allows you to adjust the delay for the combined output of all speakers as a group.This feature is called A/V Sync Delay; it allows you to compensate for delays to the video image that may be caused by the processing in products such as digital video displays, video scalers, digital cable or satellite systems, or personal video recorders. With proper adjustment of the setting for A/V Sync Delay, you can eliminate the loss of lip sync that may be caused by digital video applications.

Due to the differences between the way surround modes operate, some modes allow for a greater range of delay times than others.To avoid problems, we recommend that delay times be adjusted using the Dolby Digital mode. If a different mode is selected at a later time, the DPR 2005 will automatically select the closest delay settings available for the surround mode in use.

Delay times are adjustable only for the Dolby and DTS modes, so you will notice that the

DELAY menu may not be accessed for other modes, such as Logic 7. In addition, when a non-Dolby Digital mode such as Pro Logic II is selected, adjustments may be made to the Surround speakers only.

To set the delay time for a specific input, the DELAY ADJUST menu (Figure 9) should be visible on your on-screen display. If the system is not already at that point, press the

OSD Button 

to bring up the MASTER MENU, press the

Navigation Button o until the on-screen ➔

cursor is pointing at the DELAY ADJUST line. Press the

Output Level Adjustment

Output level adjustment is a key part of the configuration of any surround sound product. It is particularly important for a digital receiver such as the DPR 2005, as correct outputs ensure that you hear soundtracks with the proper directionality and intensity.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Listeners are often confused about the operation of the surround channels. While some assume that sound should always be coming from each speaker, most of the time there will be little or no sound in the surround channels. This is because they are only used when a movie director or sound mixer specifically places sound there to create ambience, a special effect or to continue action from the front of the room to the rear. When the output levels are properly set, it is normal for surround speakers to operate only occasionally.Artificially increasing the volume to the rear speakers may destroy the illusion of an enveloping sound field that duplicates the way you hear sound in a movie theater or concert hall.

Before beginning the output level adjustment process, make certain that all speaker connections have been properly made.The system volume should be set to the level that you will use during a typical listening session. While the DPR 2005 allows you to set output levels manually, we recommend that the EzSet system be used when the DPR is first installed to establish the initial level settings.

Using EzSet

Harman Kardon’s exclusive EzSet remote makes it possible to quickly and accurately set the DPR 2005’s

output levels without the use of a sound-pressure meter, although manual adjustment is also available. However, for the easiest setup, follow these steps while seated in the listening position that will be used most often:

1. Make sure all speaker positions have been configured for their “large” or “small” settings (see pp. 24–26) and turn off the OSD system if it is in use.

2. Adjust the volume so that it is at

15dB, or a level that is closest to the setting you prefer for a typical listening session, as shown in the on-screen display or

Lower Display Line &.

3. Press and hold the

SPL Select Button until the

red LED under the

Set Button q lights and the

LCD screen in the remote changes to the display shown in Figure 10.

Figure 10

4. Press the Set Button q within five seconds to

move to the next step.

5. Press the

⁄

Navigation Button o until the lower

line of the remote’s LCD display shows the number of speakers in your system. (Don’t count the subwoofer or speakers that are part of a multizone system.) For example, if you have left, center, right, surround left and right, and surround back left and right speakers for a full 7.1 system, press the button twice so that the bottom line reads

7 CHANNELS, as shown in

Figure 11.

Figure 11

6. Hold the remote in front of you at arm’s length, being sure not to cover the

EzSet Microphone Sensor

at the top of the remote, and press the Set

Button

q within five seconds to begin the EzSet calibration process.At this point, EzSet will take control of your DPR, starting the test tone at the front left speaker, and automatically adjusting the output level so that it is correct. During the adjustment the onscreen display and the

Lower Display Line &

will display the speaker position on the left side of the display and the offset from reference level on the right side of the display.As the levels are adjusted, the speaker position and a level indication will appear in the bottom line of the remote’s LCD display (Figure 12).

• The channel position being adjusted will flash in the

Speaker/Channel Input Indicators %. If the test noise is heard from a channel other than the one shown in the indicator, there is an error in the speaker connections. If this is the case, press the Test Button f TWICE to stop the adjustment. Then turn the unit off and verify that all speakers are connected to the proper

Speaker Outputs

efgh and that any connections made to speakers powered by optional amplifiers through the

Preamp Outputs ‹ are correct.

• During the adjustment process for each channel, you will see indications of

LOW, HIGH and a level

readout in

dB. This is normal, and it confirms that EzSet is doing its job of changing the levels to match the desired reference.

• If a channel cannot be adjusted to the proper reference level, you will see

FAIL displayed in

the remote’s bottom LCD line before the test tone moves to the next channel. This is usually an indication that the volume control was set too low. When EzSet stops circulating the tone through all channels and returns to normal, adjust the volume level and repeat the procedure from Step 3.

7. After the test noise has circulated once through each channel, it will send the tone to each channel once again, to verify the settings.

8. After two complete circulations of the tone, the levels are set. Upon completion of the second circulation, the

LCD Information Display c will flash

COMPLETE three times and then go out. The tone will stop and the DPR 2005 will return to normal operation.

If you find that the output levels chosen by EzSet are either uncomfortably low or high, you may repeat the procedure. Return to Step 2 and adjust the master volume either slightly higher or lower to accommodate your particular room layout and your tastes.You may repeat this procedure as many times as necessary to achieve a desired result. In order to prevent possible damage to your hearing or your equipment, it is important to avoid setting the master volume above 0dB.

NOTE: The subwoofer output is not adjusted when the test tone is in use.To adjust the subwoofer output, you must use an external source (see page 36).

Manual Output Level Adjustment

Output levels may also be adjusted manually, either to set them to a specific level with an SPL meter, or to make fine tuning adjustments to the levels obtained using the EzSet remote.

Figure 13

Manual output level adjustment is most easily done through the

CHANNEL ADJUST menu

(Figure 13). If you are already at the

MASTER

, press the ¤Navigation Button o until

the on-screen

➔ cursor is next to the CHANNEL

ADJUST

line. If you are not at the MASTER

, press the OSD Button  to bring up

the

select any channel for adjustment using an external source, such as a test disc, from which to judge the output levels.After the

➔ cursor is pointing to the

channel to be adjusted, press the

‹/›

Navigation

Button

o to raise or lower the output level. However, before proceeding with any manual adjustment we recommend that you first use the DPR’s internal test tone generator and automatic sequencer to send a tone to each channel so that you may verify that all speaker connections have been properly made.

To turn the test tone on and have it automatically circulate among the channels where a speaker has previously been configured (see page 24), press the

⁄/¤

Navigation Button o until the ➔ cursor is

pointing to the

TEST TONE line on the menu.

Next, press the

‹/›

Navigation Button o until

AUTO SEQ is shown in highlighted video.At this time the test tone will immediately begin to circulate clockwise around the room, playing for two seconds in each speaker before switching to the next speaker position. The

➔ cursor will blink next to the active

speaker to indicate which speaker the sound should be coming from.

As the test noise circulates, listen to make certain that the sound comes from the speaker position shown in the

Lower Display Line &. If the sound from a

speaker location does NOT match the position indicated in the display, turn the DPR 2005 off using the Main

Power Switch

A and check the speaker wiring or connections to external power amplifiers to make certain that each speaker is connected to the correct output terminal.

After checking for speaker placement, let the test noise circulate again, and listen to see which channels sound louder than the others. Using the front left speaker as a reference, press the

‹/›

Navigation

Button

o to bring all speakers to the same volume

level. When the

‹/›

Navigation Button o is

pushed, the test noise circulation will pause on the channel being adjusted to give you time to make the adjustment. When you release the button, the circulation will resume after five seconds.

Continue to adjust the individual channels until the volume level sounds the same from each speaker. Adjustments should be made with the

‹/›

Navigation

Button

o only, NOT the main volume controls. If you are using a sound-pressure level (SPL) meter for precise level adjustment, set the volume so that the meter reads 75dB, C-Weighting Slow.

You may also make these same adjustments with complete manual control over the channel being adjusted by pressing the

⁄/¤

Navigation Button

o until the ➔ cursor is pointing to the TEST

TONE SEQ

line on the menu and then using the

‹/›

Navigation Button o to select MANUAL

in the highlighted video. In the MANUAL mode, the test tone will also start immediately, but the tone will only be moved to another channel by pressing the

⁄/¤

Navigation Button o. When the manual

sequencing mode is active, the tone is turned off by pressing the

⁄/¤

Navigation Button o until the

➔ cursor is pointing to the TEST TONE line and the

‹/›

Navigation Button o is then pressed to

select

OFF in the highlighted video.

The DPR’s EzSet feature may also be used as an SPL meter to assist in accurate setting of the output levels, when either the internal test tone or an external source such as a test disc is used. To use the remote as an SPL meter, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the

Additional Input Adjustments

After one input has been adjusted for Surround mode, digital input (if any), speaker type, and output levels, go back to the

IN/OUT SETUP line on the

MASTER MENU (Figure 1) and enter the set-

tings for each input you will use. In most cases, only the digital input and surround mode will be different from one input to the next, while the other settings will usually be the same.

If you wish to have different speaker “size” and crossover settings for an input, remember to change the

BASS MGR setting to INDEPENDENT, as shown on page 26. When all settings and adjustments have been made, press the

OSD Button 

to return to normal operation of the DPR.

Once the settings outlined on the previous pages have been made, the DPR 2005 is ready for operation. While there are some additional settings to be made, these are best done after you have had an opportunity to listen to a variety of sources and different kinds of program material. These advanced settings are described on pages 37 and 38 of this manual. In addition, any of the settings made in the initial configuration of the unit may be changed at any time.As you add new or different sources or speakers, or if you wish to change a setting to better reflect your listening taste, simply follow the instructions for changing the settings for that parameter as shown in this section.

Dolby Mode Select Button  or the

Surround Mode Selector 4 to cycle through the

three Dolby Headphone modes to select the one that you prefer.

Surround Mode Selection

One of the most important features of the DPR 2005 is its ability to reproduce a full multichannel sound field from digital sources, analog matrix surround-encoded programs and standard stereo programs.

Selection of a surround mode is based on personal taste, as well as the type of program source material being used. For example, motion pictures or TV programs bearing the logo of one of the major surroundencoding processes, such as Dolby Surround or DTS Stereo may be played in either the Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Cinema, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, or Logic 7 Cinema surround modes, depending on the source material.

NOTE: Once a program has been encoded with matrix surround information, it retains the surround information as long as the program is available in stereo.Thus, movies with surround sound may be decoded via any of the analog surround modes such as Pro Logic II or IIx Cinema, Logic 7 Cinema or DTS Neo:6 Cinema, when they are broadcast via conventional TV stations, cable, pay-TV and satellite transmission. Also, a growing number of TV programs, sports broadcasts and radio dramas are also recorded in surround sound.

Even when a program is not listed as carrying intentional surround information, you may find that the Pro Logic II, Logic 7 Enhanced or DTS Neo:6, VMAx and the Hall or Theater modes often deliver enveloping surround presentations through the use of the natural information present in all stereo recordings.

Surround modes may be changed at any time by using either the front panel or remote control. To select a new surround mode from the front panel, first press the

Surround Mode Group Selector Button

3 until the desired major surround mode group such as Dolby, DTS or Logic 7 is selected. Next, press the Surround Mode Selector Button 4 to choose the specific individual surround mode.

To select a surround mode using the remote, press the button for the surround mode group that includes the mode you wish to choose:

Dolby , DTS

Digital

, DTS Neo:6 , Logic 7 h, Stereo

 or DSP Surround g. The first press of the

button will show the current mode from that group if it is already in use, or the first available mode if you are currently using another mode.To cycle through the available modes in that group, press the button again until the desired mode appears in the

Lower Display

Line

&, the on-screen display and in the front-panel

Surround Mode Indicators *.

The Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS 5.1, DTS-ES Matrix and DTS-ES Discrete modes may only be selected when a digital input is in use. In addition, when a digital source is present, the DPR 2005 will automatically select and switch to the correct mode, regardless of the mode that has been previously selected. For more information on selecting digital sources, see the Digital Audio Playback section below.

When the 6-Channel/8-Channel direct inputs are in use, there is no surround processing, as these inputs take the analog output signals from an optional, external DVD-Audio or SACD player, or another source device, and carry them straight through to the volume control.

To listen to a program in traditional two-channel stereo, using the front left and front right speakers only (plus the subwoofer, if installed and configured), press the

Stereo Mode Select Button until

SURROUND

OFF appears in the Lower Display

Line

&.From the front panel, press the Surround

Mode Group Selector

3 until the Stereo

modes

appear in the on-screen display and

Lower Display

&. Next, press the Surround Mode Selector

Button

4 until SURROUND OFF appears in

the on-screen display and

Lower Display Line &.

Digital Audio Playback

Digital audio is a major advancement over analog surround processing systems. It delivers up to six discrete channels, and each channel reproduces full frequency range (20Hz to 20kHz) and offers dramatically improved dynamic range and significant improvements to signalto-noise ratios. In addition, digital systems have the capability to deliver an additional channel that is specifically devoted to low-frequency information. This is the “.1” channel referred to when you see these systems described as “5.1,” “6.1” or “7.1.” The bass channel is separate from the other channels, but since it is intentionally bandwidth-limited, sound designers have given it that unique designation.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a standard part of DVD, and is available on specially encoded LD discs and satellite broadcasts and it is a part of the high-definition television (HDTV) system.

An optional, external RF demodulator is required to use the DPR 2005 to listen to the Dolby Digital soundtracks available on laser discs. Connect the RF output of the LD player to the demodulator and then connect the digital output of the demodulator to the Optical or Coaxial Inputs ﬂ‡HJ of the DPR 2005. No demodulator is required for use with DVD players or DTS-encoded laser discs.

DTS

DTS is a digital audio system capable of delivering 5.1 or 6.1 discrete or matrix sound field reproduction. Although both DTS and Dolby Digital are digital, they use different methods of encoding the signals, and thus they require different decoding circuits to convert the digital signals back to analog.

DTS-encoded soundtracks are available on select DVD and LD discs, as well as on audio-only DTS discs.You may use any LD or CD player equipped with a digital output to play DTS-encoded discs with the DPR 2005. All that is required is to connect the player’s output to either an

Optical or Coaxial Input

on the rear panel ﬂ‡ or front panel HJ.

In order to listen to DVDs encoded with DTS soundtracks, the DVD player must be compatible with the DTS signal, which is indicated by the “DTS Digital Out” logo on the player’s front panel. Some early DVD players were not able to play DTS-encoded DVDs.This does not indicate a problem with the DPR 2005, as those players cannot pass through the DTS signal. If you’re in doubt as to the capability of your DVD player to handle DTS discs, consult the player’s owner’s manual.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Many DVD players have a default setting that does not pass through the DTS data, even though the machine is capable of doing so. If your DVD player has the “DTS Digital Out” logo but does not trigger DTS playback in the DPR 2005, change the player’s settings in the “Audio” or “Bitstream” configuration menu so that DTS playback is enabled. The method for doing this will vary with each player. In some cases, the proper menu choice will be “Original,” while in others it will be “DTS.” Consult the owner’s manual for your player to find the specific information to find the proper setting.

Surround Mode Chart

MODE FEATURES

Dolby Digital Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low-frequency

effects channel.

Dolby Digital EX Available when the receiver is configured for 6.1/7.1 channel operation, Dolby Digital EX is the latest version of Dolby Digital. When used with movies or other

programs that have special encoding, Dolby Digital EX reproduces specially encoded soundtracks so that a full 6.1/7.1 soundfield is available. When the receiver is set for 6.1/7.1 operation and a Dolby Digital signal is present, the EX mode is automatically selected. Even if specific EX encoding is not available to provide the additional channel, the special algorithms will derive a 6.1/7.1 output.

DTS 5.1 When the speaker configuration is set for 5.1-channel operation, the DTS 5.1 mode is available when DVD, audio-only music or laser discs encoded

with DTS data are played. DTS 5.1 provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low-frequency channel.

DTS-ES 6.1 Matrix When the speaker configuration is set for 6.1/7.1 operation, playback of a DTS-encoded program source will automatically trigger the selection of one of the two DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete DTS-ES modes. Newer discs with special DTS-ES discrete encoding will be decoded to provide six discrete, full-bandwidth channels plus a separate low-frequency

channel. All other DTS discs will be decoded using the DTS-ES Matrix mode, which creates a 6.1-channel sound field from the original 5.1-channel soundtrack.

Dolby Pro Logic II Dolby Pro Logic II decodes full-range, discrete, left, center right, right surround and left surround channels from either matrix surround-encoded

Movie programs or conventional stereo sources when an analog input is in use. The Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode is optimized for movie soundtracks, Music while the Pro Logic II Music mode should be used with musical selections.The Pro Logic mode re-creates original Pro Logic processing for Pro Logic those who prefer that presentation.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx Dolby Pro Logic IIx is the latest extension of Dolby Pro Logic II technology that creates a discrete 6.1 and 7.1 sound field from matrix surround or two-channel

Music stereo sources in systems configured for surround back speakers. Both Movie and Music versions of Pro Logic IIx are available. These modes may also be applied Movie to a six-channel source connected to the

8-Channel Direct Inputs ﬁ so that the sound field is enhanced by adding back surround channels, as well as to enable

the MAIN DOWNMIX option in the multiroom system so that a six channel direct input may be used as a source for the remote room.

Logic 7 Cinema Exclusive to Harman Kardon for receivers, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either surround-encoded programs Logic 7 Music or conventional stereo material. When your system has been configured for use with Surround Back Speakers (see page 25), you may choose between either Logic 7 Enhance 7.1 or 5.1 versions of the Logic 7 modes, while only the 5.1 versions are available when there are no Surround Back Speakers. The Logic 7 C (or Cinema) mode

should be used with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding. Logic 7 C delivers increased center channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement of sounds with fades and pans that are much smoother and more realistic than with other decoding techniques.The Logic 7 M or Music mode should be used with analog or PCM stereo sources. Logic 7 M enhances the listening experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer (if installed and configured) to deliver maximum bass impact. The Logic 7 E (or Enhance) mode, available only when the 5.1 option is chosen, is an extension of the Logic 7 modes that is primarily used with musical programs. Logic 7 adds additional bass enhancement that circulates low frequencies in the 40Hz to 120Hz range to the front and surround speakers to deliver a less localized soundstage that appears broader and wider than when the subwoofer is the sole source of bass energy.

DTS Neo:6 Cinema These two modes are available with analog sources playing to create a three-channel, five-channel or six-channel surround presentation from matrix-encoded DTS Neo:6 Music or stereo sources. Select the Cinema version of Neo:6 when a program with matrix surround encoding is present. Select the Music version of Neo:6

for optimal processing when a nonencoded, two-channel stereo program is being played. Theater The Theater mode creates a sound field that resembles the acoustic feeling of a standard live performance theater. Hall 1, Hall 2 The two Hall modes create sound fields that resemble a small- (Hall 1) or medium-sized (Hall 2) concert hall. VMAx Near When only the two front-channel loudspeakers are used, VMAx delivers a three-dimensional sound space with the illusion of “phantom speakers” at the center

VMAx Far and surround positions.The VMAx N, or “Near Field” mode should be selected when your listening position is less than five feet from the speakers.The VMAx F, or

“Far Field,” mode should be selected when your listening position is greater than five feet from the speakers. Dolby Virtual Speaker Dolby Virtual Speaker uses advanced technology to simulate the sonic signature of a speaker location even when there is no speaker physically present in that

Reference location. The Reference (“REF”) mode activates the front left/right or front left/center/right speakers to simulate a 5.1 presentation with accurate localization. Wide The Wide mode virtualizes additional front-channel speakers to create a wider image and a more enveloping sound field. It is available no matter how many

speakers are present. 5-Channel Stereo These modes take advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and back of a room. They places the same signal at the front-left and

7-Channel Stereo surround-left, and front-right and surround-right speakers. The center channel is fed a summed mono mix of the in-phase material of the left and right channels. Surround This mode turns off all surround processing and presents the pure left- and right-channel presentation of two-channel stereo programs.

Off (Stereo) Dolby Headphone Dolby Headphone enables ordinary stereo headphones to portray the sound of a five-speaker surround-playback system. The DH1 mode creates

DH1 headphone presentation that resembles a small, well-damped room and is appropriate for use with both movies and music-only recordings. DH2 The DH2 mode creates a more acoustically live room particularly suited to music listening. The DH3 mode creates a larger room,more like a DH3 concert hall or movie theater.

Selecting a Digital Source

To utilize either digital mode, you must have properly connected a digital source to the DPR 2005. Connect the digital outputs from DVD players, HDTV receivers, satellite systems or CD players to the

Optical or

Coaxial Inputs ﬂ‡HJ. In order to provide a

backup signal and a source for analog stereo recording, the analog outputs provided on digital source equipment should also be connected to their appropriate inputs on the DPR 2005 rear panel (e.g., connect the analog stereo audio output from a DVD to the

DVD Inputs ¶

on the rear panel when you connect the source’s digital outputs).

If you have not already configured an input for a digital source using the on-screen menus as shown on page 21, first select the desired input using the remote or front-panel controls, as outlined in this manual. Next, press the

Digital Select Button pE

and then using the ⁄/¤Navigation Button o on the remote or the⁄/¤Buttons ! on the front panel,

choose any of the OPTICAL or COAX-

IAL

inputs, as they appear in the Upper Display

Line

^ or on-screen display. When the digital source is playing, the DPR 2005 will automatically detect which type of digital data stream is being decoded and display that information in the Upper Display Line ^.

When both a digital and an analog connection are made between a source device and the DPR, the digital input is the default. If the digital stream is not present or is interrupted, the unit will automatically switch over to the analog inputs for the selected source.

Digital Bitstream and Surround Mode Indications

When a digital source is playing, the DPR senses the type of bitstream data that is present. Using this information, the correct surround mode will automatically be selected. For example, DTS bitstreams will cause the unit to switch to DTS decoding, and Dolby Digital bitstreams will enable Dolby Digital decoding. When the unit senses PCM data from CDs or LDs, you may select any of the standard surround modes, such as Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7. Since the range of available surround modes is dependent on the type of digital data that is present, the DPR 2005 shows you what type of signal is present. This will help you to understand the choice of modes.

When a digital source is first detected, the DPR 2005 will display a message to indicate the type of bitstream being received. This message will appear shortly after an input or surround mode is changed, and will remain in the

Lower Display Line & for about five seconds

before that portion of the display returns to the normal surround mode indication.

For Dolby Digital and DTS sources, a three-digit indication will appear, showing the number of channels present in the data. An example of this type of display is 3/2/.1.

The first number in the display message indicates how many discrete front-channel signals are present.

• A “3” tells you that separate front left, center and front right signals are available.This will be displayed for Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 programs.

• A “2” tells you that separate front left and right signals are available, but there is no discrete center channel signal. This will be displayed for Dolby Digital bitstreams that have stereo program material.

• A “1” tells you that there is only a mono channel available in the Dolby Digital bitstream.

The middle number in the display message indicates how many discrete surround channel signals are present.

• A "3" tells you that separate, discrete left surround, center surround and right surround signals are present. This is available only on discs with DTS-ES digital audio.

• A “2” tells you that separate surround left and right signals are available.This will be displayed for Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 programs.

• A “1” tells you that there is only a single, surroundencoded surround channel. This will appear for Dolby Digital bitstreams that have matrix encoding.

• A “0” indicates that there is no surround channel information. This will be displayed for two-channel stereo programs.

The last number indicates whether there is a discrete low-frequency effects (LFE) channel. This is the “.1” in the common abbreviation of “5.1” sound and it is a special channel that contains only bass frequencies.

• A “.1” tells you that an LFE channel is present. This will be displayed for Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 programs, as available.

• A “0” indicates that there is no LFE channel information available. However, even when there is no dedicated LFE channel, low-frequency sound will be present at the subwoofer output when the speaker configuration is set to show the presence of a subwoofer.

• The information in the right side of the display will tell you if the digital audio data contains a special flag signal that will automatically activate the appropriate 6.1 or 7.1 mode.This will be shown as EX-ON or EX-OFF for Dolby Digital bitstreams and ES-ON or ES-OFF for DTS bitstreams.

When Dolby Digital 3/2/.1 or DTS or DTS-ES signals are being played, the DPR will automatically switch to the proper surround mode, and no other processing may be selected. When a Dolby Digital signal with a 3/1/0 or 2/0/0 signal is detected, you may select any of the Dolby surround modes.

It is always a good idea to check the channel data to make certain that it matches the audio logo information shown on the back of a DVD package. In some cases, you will see an indication for “2/0/0” even when the disc contains a full 5.1, or 3/2/.1, signal. When this happens, check the audio output settings for your DVD player or the audio menu selections for the specific disc being played to be sure that the player is sending the correct signal to the DPR.

UNLOCK message may appear in the Lower

Display Line

&. This is your indication that the digital audio data stream has been interrupted or is no longer present. When that occurs, the unit’s digital signal processor has no signal to lock onto, and is thus “unlocked.” You may see this message when a DVD is first started until the stream is playing and the processor determines which mode to apply; or any time the data stream is stopped or paused, such as when the menus of some discs are displayed or when the player is switching between the different sections of a disc. You may also see the message when a satellite receiver, cable set-top or HDTV tuner is in use if the digital audio is temporarily interrupted when channels are changed or when a cable box switches from a channel with a digital data stream to a channel with analog audio only.The

UNLOCK message is normal, and does not indicate any problem with your receiver. Rather, it tells you that the incoming data has simply been paused or is not present for a variety of possible reasons.

PCM Playback

PCM is the abbreviation for Pulse Code Modulation, which is the type of digital signal used for standard CD playback, and other non-Dolby Digital and non-DTS digital sources such as Mini-Disc.When a PCM signal is detected, the

Lower Display Line & will briefly

show a message with the letters PCM, in addition to a readout of the sampling frequency of the digital signal.

In most cases, this will be

PCM 44.1kHz or

PCM 48kHz, though in the case of specially

mastered, high-resolution audio discs, you will see a PCM 96kHz indication. Note that the sampling rate displayed is that of the incoming digital signal, and not the upsampled rate that may be applied to PCM sources when Dolby Pro Logic, Pro Logic II or Pro Logic IIx processing is applied, as shown on page 22.

During PCM playback you may select any surround mode except one of the Dolby Digital or DTS/DTS-ES modes. However, when a CD with HDCD encoding is being played you must select the Surround Off (stereo) mode to take advantage of the HDCD process.

HDCD Playback

High Definition Compatible Digital,®or HDCD, discs are recorded using a 20-bit encoding and other proprietary processing for the ultimate in CD listening. When

Page 34

an HDCD-encoded disc is playing and the CD player is connected using a digital connection, the DPR 2005 will automatically recognize the HDCD encoding and activate the circuits required for proper playback, provided that the Surround Off mode is selected. An HDCD message will appear in the

Lower

Display Line

& to confirm the HDCD playback.

HDCD playback is limited to two-channel stereo only.

Speaker/Channel Indicators

In addition to the bitstream indicators, the DPR 2005 features channel-input indicators that show how many channels of digital information are being received and/or whether the digital signal is interrupted (see Figure 15).

Figure 15

These indicators are the L/C/R/LFE/SL/SR/SBL/SBR letters that are inside the center boxes of the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators % on the frontpanel. When a standard analog signal is in use, only the “L” and “R” indicators will light, as

analog signals

have only left and right channels.

Digital signals, may have two, five, six or seven channels; depending on the program material, its method of transmission and the way in which it was encoded. When a digital signal is playing, the letters in these indicators will light in response to the signal being received. It is important to note that although Dolby Digital, for example, is referred to as a “5.1” system, not all Dolby Digital DVDs or programs are encoded for 5.1. Thus, it is sometimes normal for a DVD with a Dolby Digital soundtrack to trigger only the “L” and “R” indicators.

NOTE: Many DVD discs are recorded with both “5.1” and “2.0,” and Dolby Digital and DTS versions of the same soundtrack. When playing a DVD, always be certain to check the type of material on the disc. Most discs show this information using icons on the back of the disc jacket. When a disc offers multiple soundtrack choices, you may have to make some adjustments to your DVD player (usually with the “Audio Select” button or in a menu screen on the disc) to send a full 5.1 feed to the DPR 2005 or to select between Dolby Digital or DTS. It is also possible for the type of signal feed to change during the course of a DVD’s playback. In some cases, the previews or special material will be recorded in 2.0 audio, while the main feature is

available in 5.1 audio.The DPR 2005 will automatically sense changes to the bitstream and channel count and reflect them in these indicators.

The letters used by the

Speaker/Channel Input

Indicators

% also flash to indicate when a bitstream has been interrupted. This will happen when a digital input source is selected before the playback starts, or when a digital source such as a DVD is paused. The flashing indicators, along with the

UNLOCK mes-

sage in the

Lower Display Line &, remind you

that the playback has stopped due to the absence of a digital signal and not through any fault of the DPR 2005. This is normal, and the digital playback will resume once the playback is started again.

Night Mode

A special feature of Dolby Digital is the Night mode, which enables specially encoded Dolby Digital input sources to be played back with full digital intelligibility while reducing the minimum peak level by 1/4 to 1/3. This prevents abruptly loud transitions from disturbing others, without reducing the impact of the digital source.The Night mode is available only when Dolby Digital signals with special data are being played.

The Night mode may be engaged when a Dolby Digital DVD is playing by pressing the

Night Mode

Button

 on the remote. Next, press the ⁄/

Navigation Button o to select either the middle range or full compression versions of the Night mode.To turn the Night mode off, press the

⁄/¤

Navigation Button o until the message in the lower third of the video display and in the

Lower

Display Line

& reads D-RANGE OFF.

The Night mode may also be selected to always be on at either level of compression using the options in the DOLBY SURR menu. See page 23 for information on using the menus to set this option.

MP3 Audio Playback

The DPR 2005 is one of the few receivers equipped for onboard decoding for the MP3 audio format used by computers and portable audio devices. By offering MP3 decoding, the DPR 2005 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 2005’s high-power amplifier and the speakers from your surround system, rather than the smaller speakers and low-powered amplifiers typically used with computers.

To take advantage of the DPR 2005’s MP3 capabilities, simply connect the S/P-DIF output of a computer’s sound card or the S/P-DIF output of a portable digital audio device to either the rear panel

Digital

Inputs

ﬂ‡

or the front-panel Digital Inputs

HJ. When the digital signal is available, the Lower

Display Line

& will indicate that an MP3 bitstream

is present, and the audio will begin playing.

NOTES:

• The DPR 2005 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 S/P-DIF format. Direct connection of USB or serial data outputs is not possible, even though the signals are in the MP3 format. If you have any questions about the data output format from your computer or a sound card, check with the device’s owner’s manual.

• If your computer or sound card’s digital output is not capable of direct connection to the DPR 2005, you may use an optional, external transcoder to convert the USB output of a computer to a format compatible with the DPR.

• Due to the wide variation in MP3 formats and encoding speeds, it is possible that the DPR 2005 may not be compatible with all MP3 input signals. Some may produce unacceptable results or may not be decoded. This is not a fault of either the computer or the DPR 2005, but rather a by-product of the unpredictable nature of MP3 playback.

• Even when your computer does not have a digital output that is compatible with the DPR 2005, you may connect the analog audio output available on virtually all computers to one of the DPR’s analog audio inputs using an optional adaptor cable that converts the stereo mini plug commonly used for computer audio connections to the left/right RCA jacks used on the DPR. Connecting your computer to the DPR will enable you to take advantage of the high-quality audio reproduction possible with a home theater system, as well as enable the use of surround processing modes such as Logic 7, to greatly enhance downloaded or streaming audio playback.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON DIGITAL PLAYBACK:

• When the digital playback source is stopped, or in a pause, fast forward or search mode, digital audio data will momentarily stop, and the channel position letters inside the

Speaker/Channel Input

Indicators

% will flash and an UNLOCK mes- sage may appear. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with either the DPR 2005 or the source machine.The DPR 2005 will return to digital playback as soon as the data is available.

OPERATION

• Some source devices, particularly cable set-top boxes, will switch back and forth between digital and analog audio outputs, depending on the channel being watched. To avoid losing sound with this type of product, it is recommended that you connect both the digital and analog audio outputs of the source to the DPR 2005, with the digital audio input set as the default following the steps shown on page 21. The DPR will monitor the digital data stream and when it is interrupted the sound will mute briefly and possibly display an

UNLOCK

message while it switches to the analog audio input. This switching is not a fault of either the DPR or the cable box, as it is caused by the use of different audio technologies on different channels by the cable company or program supplier.

• Although the DPR 2005 will decode virtually all current DVD movies, CDs and HDTV sources,

it may not be

compatible with future digital sources

• 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 Pro Logic IIx, Hall, Theater or Logic 7.

However, once the DPR 2005 is turned off, the setting is cancelled. When the unit is turned on again, the front-panel jacks will return to their normal default setting as an input. If you wish to use the jacks as an output at a future time, the setting must be changed again using the OSD menu system, as described above.

Output Level Trim Adjustment

Normal output level adjustment for the DPR 2005 is established using the test tone, as outlined on pages 27 – 29. In some cases, however, it may be desirable to adjust the output levels using program material such as a test disc, or a selection you are familiar with. Additionally, the output level for the subwoofer can only be adjusted using this procedure.

To adjust the output levels using program material, first set the reference volume for the front left and front right channels using the Volume Control #rî.

If you are using a disc with test signals or an external signal generator as the source used when the output levels are being trimmed, you may use the remote as an SPL meter to guide you to the correct level settings.To use the EzSet remote as an SPL meter, follow the instructions on page 29.

Once the reference level has been set, press the

Channel Select Button n and FRONT L LEVEL

will appear in the Lower Display Line

Dim Function

Since the DPR 2005 will often be used when movies or other video programming is viewed under low-light conditions, you may wish to lower the brightness of the front-panel displays and indicators so that they do not distract from the video presentation. You may dim the displays using the menu system, as shown on

page 37, or you may control the brightness directly from the remote.

Simply press the

Dim Button m once to dim the

front panel to half the normal brightness level; press it again to turn the displays off. Note that when the displays are dimmed or turned off, the

Standby/On

Indicator

1 will remain lit as a reminder that the

DPR is still turned on.

Note that all changes to the front-panel brightness level remain in effect only until the DPR is turned off; the displays will return to full brightness after the DPR is turned on again. To return the displays to full brightness without turning the unit off, press the

Dim

Button

m as needed until the displays are on.

In addition to lowering the brightness of the displays or turning them off completely, you may wish to have them appear whenever a button on the remote or front panel is pushed, and then gradually fade out after a set time period. You may do this by making the appropriate settings in the

MULTIROOM OPERATION

MULTIROOM OPERATION 39

The DPR 2005 is fully equipped to operate as the control center for a complete multiroom system that is capable of sending one source to a second zone in the house while a separate source is listened to in the main room. In addition to providing for control over the selection of the remote source and its volume, the DPR 2005 offers a comprehensive range of options for powering the speakers in the second zone.

■ Using the line-level Multiroom Audio Outputs ª,

the selected source may be fed to optional, external power amplifiers that may be matched to the specifics of the installation.

■ When the main room system is configured for 5.1

operation, the Surround Back Left/Right amplifier channels may be used to power the remote zone so that no additional amplifiers are required.

■ Using built-in A-BUS Ready technology, optional

A-BUS modules may be connected to the DPR 2005 via a single Category 5/5e or higher wire, so that remote zone speakers may be powered directly from the A-BUS module without the need for additional power, IR sensor or volume control wires to be run to the second zone.

In addition, the DPR 2005 includes a remote IR sensor input so that remote control commands from the Zone II remote included with the unit may be transmitted to the unit, while standard IR input/output jacks allow the remote zone’s commands to be sent to compatible IR-controlled source devices.

Installation

Although simple remote room systems may be installed by the average do-it-yourself hobbyist, the complexity of many multizone/multiroom systems involves running wires inside walls where the services

of a specially trained installer may be required. Regardless of who does the work, please remember that local building codes govern in-wall electrical work, including proper specification of any wiring used and the way in which it is connected. You are responsible for making certain that all multiroom installation work is done properly and in compliance with all applicable codes and regulations.

For installations using optional, external amplifiers in Option 1 or Option 2, follow the instructions shown on page 17.

For installations where the Surround Back Left/Right amplifier channels are used to power the remote zone, make certain that the system is installed and configured for that type of operation, as shown. In Option 3 on page 17 and in the

MULTI-ROOM SETUP

menu as shown on this page.

For installations where A-BUS modules are used, follow the instructions provided with the A-BUS remote modules or keypads.

RS-232 Control

The DPR 2005 is rare among A/V receivers in that it provides the capability for full bidirectional remote control with confirmation control acknowledgement from compatible computers or specialized remote control systems. RS-232 programming requires specialized programming knowledge and for that reason we recommend that it only be done by qualified installers. For more information on using the RS-232 port for remote control, visit the Harman Kardon Web site at www.harmankardon.com or contact a custom installer trained in RS-232 controlled systems.

Multiroom Setup

Once the audio and IR link connections have been made, the DPR 2005 needs to be configured for multiroom operation. Press the

OSD Button  to bring

the

MASTER MENU (Figure 1) to the screen.

Press the

Navigation Button o, until the on-

screen

➔ cursor is next to the MULTI-ROOM

line. Press the Set Button q to enter the MULTI-ROOM SETUP menu (Figure 17).

Figure 17

When the MULTI-ROOM SETUP menu appears, the on-screen

➔ cursor will be at the

MULTI-ROOM line. Since this line is used to turn the system on and off, don’t make an adjustment here unless you wish to turn the system on at this time. To turn the system on, press the

› Navigation Button

o so that ON is highlighted. If you do not wish to

turn the system on at this time or to proceed to the next step, press the

o until the desired input to the multiroom

system appears in the highlighted video.

In addition to the standard inputs, a choice is available labeled

MAIN DOWNMIX. In all other cases, the feed to the multiroom system may be different from the input selected for the main room, but the

input must be analog. When

MAIN DOWNMIX

is selected as the multiroom system input you may listen to an “Lt/Rt” stereo version of any digital source playing in the main room, such as Dolby Digital or DTS.You may also use this mode to listen to a source connected to the

8-Channel Direct Inputs ﬁ in the

remote zone, as long as the Dolby Pro Logic IIx mode is activated. Note, however, that when

MAIN

DOWNMIX

is selected as the input for the multiroom system, the source sent to the remote room will change any time the main room input is changed.

When the selection has been made, press the

Navigation Button o once so that the ➔ on- screen cursor is next to the

MULTI VOL line.

At the

MULTI VOL line, press the ‹/

›

Navigation Button o until the desired volume level for the multiroom system is entered. DO NOT use the regular volume control knobs for this setting. When all settings for the multiroom setup have been made, press the

⁄/¤

Navigation Button o

until the on-screen ➔ cursor is next to the BACK TO MASTER MENU

line.

However, if you have connected both the digital and analog outputs of a source such as a DVD player to the DPR, you may select that source for the remote room. The DPR will automatically switch to the analog connection for playback in the remote room without affecting multichannel playback from the digital link in the main room.

Surround Amplifier Channel Assignment

The DPR 2005 is equipped with seven full-power amplifier channels to allow for complete 7.1-channel operation without the need for additional external amplifiers. However, in some installations you may wish to use the traditional 5.1-channel configuration for the main listening room, which allows the surround back left/right amplifier channels to be used to power speakers placed in a remote zone location.

If you wish to use the Surround Back amplifier channels to power the remote zone, press the

⁄/¤

Navigation Button o until the ➔ cursor is pointing to the

SB AMPS line on the MULTI-ROOM

SETUP

menu. Press the ‹/›Navigation Button o until MULTI is highlighted in reverse video and press the

Set Button q.

Remember that once this setting is made, you will not be able to take advantage of any of the 6.1/7.1channel decoding or processing modes, and that the speakers used for the remote zone must be connected to the Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs g. The volume for these speakers is set by the multiroom system, as explained on this page.

When the Multiroom system is turned on, the input selected using the Multiroom menu will be fed to the Multiroom Audio Outputs ª on the rear panel as well as the

A-BUS Connector . 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 the A-BUS keypad, or on the optional audio power amplifier connected to the

Multiroom Audio Outputs ª.

Although changes to the input source or remote room volume will normally be made using an IR sensor in the remote room that is connected to the DPR, it is also possible to change those settings from the main listening room. This is useful for situations where some or all of the remote rooms do not have an IR sensor, or to take control over the remote room without actually being in that room.

In addition to using the

MULTI-ROOM

SETUP

menu, as shown on the previous page, you may change the source or volume in the remote zone using the remote. Press the

Multiroom Button `

on the remote, and when the MULTI ON/OFF message appears in the on-screen display and the Lower Display Line &, press the Set Button q and then press the ⁄/¤Navigation Button o to toggle past that message to

Once the Multiroom system is turned on, it will remain on even if the DPR 2005 is placed in the Standby mode in the main room by pressing the

Power Off

Button

or the Main Power Switch A on the

front panel.

The Multiroom system will remain on even if the unit is turned off in the main room. In that event, although front-panel indicators and the accent lighting around the volume control will turn off, a MULTI-ROOM ON message will remain in the

Lower Display Line & to remind you that

power is still applied to the unit, and that it is being used for Multiroom operation elsewhere in the house. Remember that if you turn the unit completely off by pressing the

Main Power Switch A, the feed to

the second zone will also be turned off.

When the DPR 2005 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.

NOTES ON MULTIROOM OPERATION:

CONFIGURING THE REMOTE

CONFIGURING THE REMOTE 41

The DPR 2005 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 2005 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 program 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.

Figure 18

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.

Figure 19

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.

Figure 20

NOTE: The codes for both stand-alone and satellitebased 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 programmed into the remote’s memory.

Figure 21

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 programming into the remote appears on the lower line of the display and then press the

Set Button q.

Figure 22

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 programmed 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.

Figure 23

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.

Figure 24

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 buttons 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

In addition to manual code selection using the brand name list, it is also possible to automatically search through all the codes that are stored in the DPR remote’s library to see whether a device will respond even if it is not listed among the brands that appear when you program the remote manually.To automatically search through the codes that are available for a specific device type (e.g., DVD,VCR), follow these steps:

1. Turn on the power to the device you wish to program into the DPR remote.This is important because 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

PLEASE WAIT….You will also see the

transmit icon in the upper right corner of the LCD display’s top line to remind you that the remote is

working even though you may not see anything happening to the device being programmed.

7. It will take a few seconds for the remote to send out the first group of commands, after which you will see a new display in the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 26. Following the instructions, if the device being programmed has

not turned off,

press the

⁄

Navigation Button o again to

send another group of codes. If the device being programmed

has turned off, skip to Step 9.

Figure 26

8. By pressing the ⁄Navigation Button o again, the remote will send out a new set of commands.When it pauses, follow the instructions shown in Step 7. Depending on how many codes are stored for a specific device type, you may have to repeat this process as many as fifteen times. Remember, if the device turns off, skip to Step 9. When all the codes for the device being programmed have been tried, the instruction shown in Figure 27 will appear. This means that the codes for the product you are trying to program are not in the DPR remote library and you will have to “learn” them into the remote following the instructions shown in the next section. Press the

Set Button q as instructed to exit the

programming process.

Figure 27

9. If the device being programmed does turn off after following the instructions in Step 7, you will need to verify the code set by pressing the Numeric Keys k in sequence, as instructed in Figure 26. Point the remote at the device being programmed, and press the

“1” Button k to

see whether the device turns back on.

10. After pressing and releasing the

“1” Button k,

check to see whether the device has turned back on. If it has, skip to Step 12. If it does not turn off, press the

“2” Button k, or the next button in

the numeric sequence if you are repeating the procedure, as instructed by the LCD screen in Figure 28.

Figure 28

11. When pressing the “1” button does not turn the device being programmed back on, repeat the procedure by trying the remainder of the Numeric Keys k in sequence, each time

pressing and then releasing the button to see whether the new device turns back on. When it does, skip to the next step. However, if you try all 10 numeric keys and find that the unit will not turn on, you won’t be able to use this method to program the device. Press the Clear Button j to exit the programming process.You’ll need to follow the Learning Commands instructions below to enter the codes for this device into the DPR remote.

12. When pressing one of the numeric keys in Step 10 or 11 causes the device being programmed to turn back on, follow the instructions shown in Figure 26 and press the

Set Button q within

five seconds of the device turning on. After you press the Set button, 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.

13. 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.

Learning Commands

On occasions when the DPR remote does not contain the codes for a particular product’s remote in its builtin library, or when you wish to program a missing or special function into one button of a device, the DPR remote’s learning capability allows you to do that. To teach commands from one product’s remote into the DPR remote, follow the steps below:

The process requires that both the device’s original remote and the DPR remote be available. Before pressing any buttons on either remote, place them so that the IR transmitter on the remote from the device to be programmed is facing the

Infrared Lens



on the DPR remote.The two remotes should be no more than an inch apart, and there should not be any direct sunlight or other bright light source near the remotes.

1. Press and hold the

to return the remote to normal operation.

Figure 36

12. If you wish to program the codes for another device, repeat the procedure outline above, but select a different device in Step 3.

Changing Devices

In the factory default settings, the DPR remote is programmed so that the commands transmitted correspond to the device selected by pressing one of the

Input Selectors3. This is logical, as you

want the remote to control the device you have selected. However, in some circumstances you may have configured your system so that the devices connected to the DPR 2005 do not correspond to the default device settings and the legends printed on the remote. For example, if your system has two VCRs you may connect the second VCR to the VID 2 input.There is no problem in doing that, but in normal operation the commands issued after selecting the VID 2 input are for a television, not a VCR.

The DPR remote allows you to correct that situation through the “Changing Devices” process. This enables you to assign the codes from one type of device to a different button. For example, in the steps below, we will explain how to program the VID 2 buttons to provide the commands to operate a VCR. Of course, you may program the remote to have any of the devices take on the code set of any other device, as your system requires.And, with the DPR remote’s “Rename” function, you can even change the way the name of the device appears on the remote’s LCD display so that you see exactly which commands are being sent.

To program the buttons normally assigned to one device for the commands of another, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the

Program ButtonOfor

about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 18 appears in the remote’s

LCD

Information Display

. Release the button

when the red light under the

Set Button q

appears.

2. The remote’s

Figure 38

4. Once the “old” device type has been selected, you need to tell the remote which set of remote codes

to use as a replacement for the device just

selected.

When the instructions shown in Figure

39 appear, press the

⁄/¤

Navigation Button

o to scroll through the list of device categories to find the name of the device that you wish to use.The old device name will remain on the left side of the LCD screen, while the replacement device list will scroll to its right. For example, press the

⁄

Navigation Button o until the display

screen reads

TV<-VCR to have the VID 2/TV

Button transmit the commands used to control a VCR. Press the

Set Button q when the

desired device combination appears.

Figure 39

5. Once the new device is selected, the remainder of the process will select the codes for the specific brand to be used, and for that reason they are identical to the way a device is programmed using manual entry. Continue the process as outlined in the next few steps, remembering that if the codes for your specific device are not found, you may select any brand and then “learn” the proper codes into the DPR remote using the process outlined on page 42. To begin the process, start by selecting the brand of device, as shown in Figure 22. Press the

⁄/¤

Navigation Button

o until the brand name of the device you are programming into the remote appears on the lower line of the display and then press the

Set Button q.

6. 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 programmed and, following the instructions shown on the remote’s

LCD Information Display2,

press and release the

Numeric KeysAone at

a time, starting with the

“1” ButtonA. After

you press the

“1” ButtonA, 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.

7. 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), press the

Set Button q, and then skip to

Step 9. If the unit does

not turn off, proceed to

the next step.

8. If the device being programmed into the DPR remote does

not turn off after you have pressed

the

“1” ButtonA, continue Steps 6 and 7 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, the code for this specific device is not in the DPR remote library under that brand name. If that is the case, we suggest that you press the

Set Button q

to accept the codes from another brand so that the programming is completed, but remember that you will then have to program the remote manually by following the Learning Commands instructions on page 42.

9. 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, 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.

10. When the codes are saved the remote will return to normal operation, and whenever you press the

Input Selector Button3that was just

programmed, the display will show the original device type code at the far left side of the display, with the name of the new code set type in brackets. For example, the display will read

TV<-VCR

in our example of replacing the TV codes with those for a VCR.

Macro Programming

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently used combinations of multiple remote control commands with the touch of a single button. Once a macro is programmed, you may send up to 20 commands with one press of the Power On or Macro buttons.This will greatly simplify the process of turning on your system, changing devices or other common tasks.Thanks to the remote’s two-line display, it is easier than ever for you to take advantage of the power of macro commands.

Recording a Macro

Punch-Through Configuration

Punch-through is a capability of the remote that allows the Volume controls, Channel Up/Down buttons or Transport keys (Play, Stop, Record, Fast Forward and Reverse, and Skip Up/Down) to link to a different device. For example, if your TV, cable box or satellite receiver is connected through the DPR 2005, you will most likely want to use the DPR 2005’s volume control commands even when the remote has been set to issue all other commands for the video device. “Punch-through” enables you to easily program the remote to do this.

Volume Punch-Through

Follow these steps to enable the Volume Up/Down and Mute controls from one device to be used when the remote is otherwise programmed for a different device.

NOTE FOR VOLUME PUNCH-THROUGH: The remote’s default settings are for the DPR 2005’s volume controls, to be used when any input or device is selected, with the exception of the VID 2/TV button. There is no need to program the remote for volume punch-through for the DPR 2005’s controls with other sources, such as DVD. To have the DPR 2005’s volume commands used when the TV device is selected, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the

Program ButtonOfor

about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 18 appears in the remote’s

LCD

Information Display

. Release the button

when the red light under the

are pressed while the master device

is in use.

Returning the Volume Control Settings to Default Operation

If you wish to remove the Volume punch-through so that the commands for Volume and Mute are returned to the factory default setting, follow the steps shown above, except that in Steps 4 and 5, select the same device for both the

DEVICE IN USE on the left

side of the bottom line and the

PUNCH-THROUGH

device. In the example used, the display to return the remote to default settings will appear as shown in Figure 56.

Figure 56

Channel Punch-Through

Channel punch-through allows the Channel Up/Down buttons to send commands to a different device than the one that has been selected for other commands. For example, you may wish to use a cable box or satellite receiver as the source for a VCR, so you would

want the Channel Up/Down Buttons  to

transmit commands to the cable box even though the other button commands are programmed to operate the VCR.

To program the remote for channel punch-through, follow these steps.This example will show how to program channel punch-through so that the commands programmed for Channel Up/Down for the VID 3/ Cable device will be transmitted when the VID 1/VCR device has been selected as the current device.

EzSet Configuration

Harman Kardon’s patented EzSet feature makes it easier than ever to calibrate the output levels on your new receiver for maximum playback accuracy. In addition to automatically setting the levels, the DPR remote’s LCD display allows the unit to be used as a direct read-out SPL meter. Complete instructions for using the EzSet features of the DPR remote are found on pages 27 – 29 of this owner’s manual.

In most cases you will find it easier to access the EzSet capabilities directly by pressing the

SPL Select

Button

 and following the menu prompts as detailed on pages 27 and 28. However, there is one function of the remote that is only available through the remote’s menu system being described in this section.

To avoid having the calibration settings created with EzSet changed accidentally, the remote allows you to disable the

SPL Select Button  on the remote.

To de-activate the button, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the

Program ButtonOfor

about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 18 appears in the remote’s

LCD

Information Display

. Release the button

when the red light under the

Renaming

While the names given to the buttons and inputs on the remote represent recognizable categories of audio/video products, system operation may be easier if the displays shown in the remote’s LCD screen are customized to reflect the specific characteristics of a playback source’s brand name or the new function given to a specific button when one remote’s controls are programmed into the DPR remote.The DPR remote allows you to change the name of either a master device or any button on the remote using the following steps.

Renaming a Device

To rename a specific device/input source button, follow these steps. For this example, we will show you how to rename the Device/Input Selector normally shown as “TV” to “HDTV TUNER.”

1. Press and hold the

Program ButtonOfor

about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 16 appears in the remote’s

LCD

Navigation Button o to

return the blinking cursor to the far left side of the display line.You may then retitle the device name as shown in the next step.

6. To enter the new name, press the

Numeric Keys

. The letters above the numbered buttons indicate which letter or symbol will appear when the button is pressed during the renaming process.The first press of the button will enter the first letter shown, subsequent presses of the same button will change the display to the other letters above that numbered key. For example, since the first letter we need to rename the input to HDTV Tuner is an “H”, you would locate the “H” above the “4” button, and press the button twice. The first press shows a “G,” the second press changes it to an “H.” Consult the table at the end of this section to see which characters pressing a particular button generates.

7. After you enter the first letter of the new device name, there are three options for entering the next character:

a. To enter a letter that requires a different

numeric key to be pressed, simply press that button. The cursor will automatically move to the next position and the first letter accessed

by the new button will appear. Following our example, the next letter needed is a “D,” so you would press the “3” button once.

b. To enter a letter that uses the same numeric

key, you must first press the

cursor to the right, and the second press will move the cursor one more space to the right, leaving a blank space between the last letter and the next one.

8. Repeat Step 7 as needed to enter all the needed letters, numbers, characters and spaces.

9. When the text entry is complete, press the

Set Buttonq. The LCD display will blink

DEVICE RENAMED three times and then return to normal operation.

Once a device is renamed you will see the new name on the top line of the remote’s LCD display whenever the

Input//Device Selector3is pressed, or when

any other command/function button on the remote is pressed after the main Device Selector is pressed. Note that renaming a device in the remote will

not

change the name of the input used by the on-screen menu system of the DPR 2005.

Renaming Individual Keys

Thanks to the programming flexibility of the DPR remote, an individual button on the remote may be assigned a feature or function that is different from the name that appears as the factory default when the button is pressed. However, with the Rename Key function it is possible to rename almost any button on the remote so that when the button is pressed you will see a more descriptive or appropriate name displayed.

To rename a specific button on the remote, follow these steps. For instance, this example will show you how to program the remote so that

ZOOM appears in

the remote’s LCD display when you press the

Tone

Button

 since it does not have a preprogrammed function for DVD players. Of course, remember that you will first have to learn the codes for that function into the Tone button, following the instructions shown on page 42.

1. Press and hold the

Program ButtonOfor

about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 18 appears in the remote’s

LCD

Information Display

. Release the button

when the red light under the

Set Button

appears.

The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 17), will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button

will remain illuminated in red. Press the

⁄/¤

Navigation Button o until RENAME

appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 69.

3. At the next menu screen press the

to continue.

Figure 72

4. The next display screen (Figure 73) is where you select the device within which the key to be renamed exists. Press the

⁄/¤

Navigation

Buttons

o until the name of the base device appears. In our example, since we want to rename a button within the DVD device memory, DVD should appear in the lower line of the LCD. When the desired device name appears, press the

Set Buttonq.

Figure 73

5. At the next menu screen you will select the first button within the device to be renamed, as instructed in the display shown in Figure 74.

Select the button (in this case, the

Tone Button

)by simply pressing it on the remote.

Figure 74

6. Depending on whether or not the button pressed already has a named function within the device selected, one of two things will happen.

a. If the button to be renamed already has a pre-

programmed, or previously renamed title in the remote’s memory, you will see that name on the top line of the LCD display, and a blinking block cursor will appear on the far left side of the bottom line of the display.

b. If the button to be renamed does not have a

function in the device selected, the top line of the LCD screen will be blank, and a blinking block cursor will appear on the far left side of the bottom line of the display, as shown in Figure 76.

Figure 76

7. To enter the new name for the key, press the

Numeric KeysA. The letters above the

numbered buttons indicate which letters or symbols will appear when the button is pressed during the renaming process.The first press of the button will enter the first character shown, subsequent presses of the same button will change the display to the other letters above that numbered key. For example, since the first letter we need to rename the Tone button to Zoom is a “Z,” you would locate the “Z” above the “9” button, and press the button four times.The first press shows a “W,” the subsequent presses step through the other letters available until the “Z” appears. Consult the table on page 48 to see which characters are available by pressing a particular button.

8. After you enter the first letter of the new device name, there are three options for entering the next character:

To enter a letter that requires a different numeric key to be pressed, simply press that button. The cursor will automatically move to the next position and the first letter accessed by the new button will appear. Following our example, the next letter needed is an “O,” so you would press the “6” button once.

b. To enter a letter that uses the same numeric

key, you must first press the

›

Navigation

Button

to move the blinking cursor block

to the next position. Then press the

Numeric

Key

as required to enter the desired letter. This is the way you would enter the second “O” in the word ZOOM, and again for the letter “M.”

c. To enter a blank space, press the

›

Navigation

Button

twice.The first press will move the cursor to the right, and the second press will move the cursor one more space to the right, leaving a blank space between the last letter and the next one.

9. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 as needed to complete entering the needed letters, numbers, characters and spaces.

10. When the text entry is complete, press the

Set

Button

. The new name will be entered into

the remote’s memory, replacing the default name.

11. At this point you have two options: a. If you wish to program an additional key within

the same device, press the

Set Buttonqas

instructed by the bottom line of the LCD display reading

ANOTHER KEY. The remote will

return to the

SELECT A KEY menu option

as shown in Step 6. Repeat the instructions in Steps 6 though 11 to rename the next key.

b. If you have no additional keys to rename, press

the

⁄

Navigation Buttonoonce so that

the menu screen displays

EXIT on the bottom

line of the display. Press the

Set Button

to return the remote to normal operation.

NOTES ON RENAMING KEYS:

• Renaming a key does not change its function. You

may change the function of an individual key by learning a new code into the remote. See page 42 for more information.

• When a key is renamed it will only apply to the

specific device selected in Step 4. The same key may be renamed as needed for each individual device with which it is used.

Resetting the Remote

Depending on the way in which the remote has been programmed, there may be a situation where you wish to totally erase all changes that have been made to the remote and return it to the factory defaults. You may do that by following the steps shown below, but remember that once the remote is reset, ALL changes that have been made, including programming for use with other devices, learned keys, macros, punchthrough settings and key names, will be erased and

RENAME RENAME KEY

It may take a few minutes for the reset process to take place, and the length of time will vary depending on how much customization and programming has taken place. Please be patient; as long as the message appears in the display the remote is functioning properly.

Figure 78

4. When the remote has been totally reset and returned to the factory default condition, a REMOTE RESET COMPLETE message will appear (Figure 79) briefly, and then the remote will return to normal operation.

Figure 79

Additional Notes on Configuring and Operating the Remote

• When the remote is being programmed, it will automatically time-out if no button is pressed within a thirty-second period. The message shown in Figure 80 will appear briefly, and the remote will then exit the feature being programmed and any data entered will be lost.

Figure 80

• The programming or configuration process may also be stopped at any time by pressing the

Clear

Button

. The message shown in Figure 80 will appear, the data entered in the current process will be lost and the remote will return to normal operation. Any process that was underway when the button will be pressed must be restarted.

• Extensive use of the programming, learning and configuration functions of the remote may consume significantly more battery power than normal remote operation. While the batteries should last for four to six months in normal operation, you may find that they need to be changed sooner after the remote is programmed for the first time.

• When the batteries approach a level below which the remote will not function, the remote’s LCD screen will display a

LOW BATTERY warning as

shown in Figure 81. We strongly recommend replacing the batteries as soon as this message appears to avoid the loss of programming and configuration settings.These settings are

not lost when

the batteries are changed quickly.

Figure 81

• The remote has a built-in backlight that may be activated by pressing the

Light ButtonP. This

button is made from a special “glow” material so that it is easier to find in dark rooms.This glow feature does not consume any electricity, but the glow will fade when the remote is kept in a dark location for an extended period of time.The “glow” feature may be restored by placing the remote in normal room light for a few hours.

• The remote’s backlight will remain lit for approximately five seconds after the

Light ButtonPis

pressed, and it will stay lit for another five seconds if any key is pressed while the backlight is on. You may keep the backlight lit by holding the Light Button, but extensive use of the backlight will reduce battery life.

• The LCD display will remain on for ten seconds after a key is pressed and then turn off to conserve battery life.

• When any button is held for more than thirty seconds, the LCD will turn off and the remote will stop transmitting the codes to conserve battery life.

Processor Reset

In the rare case where the unit’s operation or the displays seem abnormal, the cause may involve the erratic operation of the system’s memory or microprocessor.

To correct this problem, first unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet and wait at least three minutes. After the pause, reconnect the AC power cord and check the unit’s operation. If the system still malfunctions, a system reset may clear the problem.

To clear the DPR 2005’s entire system memory including tuner presets, output level settings, delay times and speaker configuration data, first put the unit

in Standby by pressing the

Standby/On Button 2.

Next, press and hold the

Surround Mode Group

Selector

3 and the Tuning Mode Selector 9

buttons for three seconds.

The unit will turn on automatically and display the

RESET message in the Upper Display Line ^.

NOTE: Resetting the processor will erase any configu-

ration settings you have made for speakers, output levels, surround modes, digital input assignments as well as the tuner presets.After a reset the unit will be returned to the factory presets, and all settings for these items must be reentered.

If the system is still operating incorrectly, there may have been an electronic discharge or severe AC line interference that has corrupted the memory or microprocessor.

If these steps do not solve the problem, consult an authorized Harman Kardon service center.
