If you have any questions about this product, its installation or its operation, please contact your retailer or installer. They are your best local sources of information.

Description and Features

The DPR 1001 is one of the first fully featured A/V receivers to use PWM digital amplifier technology in a high-performance audio/video receiver. A fully digital path from source input to the output stage eliminates the need for digital-to-analog conversion before amplification.This reduces the possibility of signal degradation or the introduction of distortion. Digital technology also enables Harman Kardon to provide seven amplifier channels,while reducing the size and weight of the chassis to a slimmer profile.

The DPR 1001 is among the most versatile and multifeatured A/V receivers available, incorporating a wide range of listening options.In addition to Dolby*Digital,Dolby Digital EX and DTS

decoding for digital sources,a broad choice of surround modes is available for use with PCM digital and analog sources such as CD,VCR, TV broadcasts and the DPR 1001’s own FM/AM tuner. Along with Dolby Pro Logic* II, DTS Neo:6,

Dolby 3 Stereo,and Hall and Theater modes, the DPR 1001 offers Harman International’s own Logic 7

processing in both

5.1 and 7.1 versions to create a wider, more enveloping field environment and more defined flyovers and pans.Another exclusive is VMAx,

which uses proprietary processing to create an open, spacious sound field when only two front speakers are available.Finally, the DPR 1001 is among the few A/V receivers that offer MP3 decoding,so that you may listen to the latest music selections directly from compatible computers or playback devices with the power and fidelity you expect from Harman Kardon.

In addition to providing a wide range of listening options,the DPR 1001 is easy to configure so that it provides the best results with your speakers and specific listening-room environment. On-screen menus make it simple to enter settings for speaker configurations and bass management, and the EzSet remote measures a system’s sound levels and automatically calibrates them for a perfectly balanced sound field presentation.

For the ultimate in flexibility, the DPR 1001 features connections for five video devices,all with both composite and S-Video inputs.Two additional audio inputs are available,and a total of six digital inputs make the DPR 1001 capable of handling all the latest digital audio sources.For compatibility with the latest HDTV video sources and progressive scan DVD players,the DPR 1001 also features high-bandwidth, low-crosstalk component video switching.

Coax and optical digital outputs are available for direct connection to digital recorders,and both the front panel analog audio/video and coaxial digital jacks may be switched to outputs for use with portable recorders – a Harman Kardon exclusive.Two video recording outputs,preamp-out jacks, and a color-coded eight-channel input make the DPR 1001 virtually future-proof.

The DPR 1001’s flexibility and power extend beyond your main home theater or listening room. The DPR 1001 includes a sophisticated multizone control system that allows you to select one source for use in the main room and a different one in a second room.You may even assign the surroundback amplifiers to power the second zone for simultaneous 5.1 and remote room operation. Complete control over volume is possible with a separate infrared control link.To make it easy to operate the DPR 1001 from a remote room, a separate “Zone II” remote is included.

Harman Kardon invented the high-fidelity receiver almost fifty years ago.With state-of-the-art circuitry, the DPR 1001 is the perfect combination of the latest in digital audio technology,a quiet and compact yet powerful amplifier in an elegant, easy-to-use package.

14 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

System Installation

After unpacking the unit, and placing it on a solid surface capable of supporting its weight, you will need to make the connections to your audio and video equipment.

IMPORTANT NOTE:For your personal safety and to avoid possible damage to your equipment and speakers, it is always a good practice to turn off and unplug the DPR 1001 and ALL source equipment from the AC output before making any audio or video system connections.

Audio Equipment Connections

We recommend that you use high-quality interconnect cables when making connections to source equipment and recorders to preserve the integrity of the signals.

1. Connect the analog output of a CD player to the

CD Inputs •.

NOTE: If your CD player has both fixed and variable

audio outputs,it is best to use the fixed output unless you find that the input to the receiver is so low that the sound is noisy,or so high that the signal is distorted.

2. Connect the analog Play/Out jacks of a cassette deck, MD, CD-R or other audio recorder to the Tape Inputs §.Connect the analog Record/In jacks on the recorder to the

Tape Outputs ¶

on the DPR 1001.

3. Connect the output of any digital sources such as a CD or DVD changer or player, video game,a digital satellite receiver, HDTV tuner or digital cable set-top box or the output of a compatible computer sound card to the

Optical or Coaxial Digital Inputs

k KM.

4. Connect the coaxial or optical

Digital Audio

Outputs

b on the rear panel of the DPR 1001 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 the wires from the

AM antenna to the Antenna

Terminals

™.Make certain to connect the wire

marked GND to the top terminal screw.

6. Connect the supplied FM antenna to the

Antenna

(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.

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

cdef 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 a cable constructed of

multistrand

copper 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 local 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 will still use a red terminal for the postive (+) 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 manufacturers 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 of cable to connect the front left and front right, surround left and surround right, and surround back left and surround back right speakers, even if the speakers are at different distances from the DPR 1001.

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

LFE/Sub-

woofer Output

j to the LFE or 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

6-Channel Direct Inputs

10. If an external multichannel audio source with

7.1 outputs such as an external digital processor/ decoder, DVD-Audio or SACD player is used, first connect the outputs of that device to the 6-Channel Direct Inputs , and then connect the Surround Back Left and Surround Back Right output channels of the source device to the

8-Channel Direct Inputs .

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.

Although the outputs from any compatible video device may be connected to any video input, to simplify programming device codes into the remote control, we recommend that a hard-drive recorder product such as a TiVo

or ReplayTV®be connected to the

Video 1 Connectors ‚⁄ ‹.If there is no hard

drive recorder in your system, connect the VCR to those connectors; otherwise connect it to the

Video 2

Connectors

›ﬁﬂ‡

.The audio outputs of your

TV should be connected to the

Video 2 Input

Connector

ﬁ

, and the outputs of a cable box or

satellite receiver to the

Video 3 Input Connectors

°·. Note that the DPR 1001 will not convert signals from

composite to S-Video,or vice versa. S-Video inputs may only be viewed when the DPR 1001 is connected to a TV set or video display with S-Video capability.If you use both standard composite video and S-Video sources in your system, it is important that you connect both an S-Video cable and a standard composite video cable (a coax cable with an RCA plug on both ends) between the DPR 1001 and your TVor projector. Consult the instructions for your TVset or projector for more information on connecting both types of signals.
