The Polk Audio DR-3 Unified Learning Remote was designed to operate the Polk Audio Digital Solution home theater system and Polk Audio DP-1 CD/DVD player. It can also be programmed to operate most DVD and CD players, TVs, Cable and DSS tuners as well as VCRs. By following the easy steps in this manual, you can reduce or eliminate the need for having several remote controls on your coffee table.

As nifty as it may be, the DR-3 unified remote cannot duplicate every function of every remote control without turning it into a nightmare of tiny buttons. For control of the rarely used functions of the Digital Solution preamp/processor and the other equipment in your system, you’ll have to use their dedicated remotes. If you can’t find them, look under the sofa cushions; they’re probably there.

All of the buttons except for the CODE, SAVE, CNCL, LEARN, LIGHT, MACRO, VOL UP, VOL DOWN, SURROUND MODE, MUTE, SYSTEM POWER, SUB+, SUB- and the eight MODE buttons have “learn” functions and can learn the commands of other remote control devices.

See the chart on page 6 for the functions of each button with various device types.

1. Source/Device Area – These buttons serve two functions:

to select the device that the remote will control and to change inputs on the Digital Solution preamp/processor. For example if you want to play the DVD player, push the “DVD” button on the top row. The Digital Solution preamp/processor will switch to the DVD input (if it is on) and the buttons on the DR-3 remote will be set to operate the DP-1 CD/DVD player.

The top buttons bordered by the gold box are multi-function buttons. That is, they can select more than one input. Press the DVD/6CH button once and it selects the DVD input on the preamp/processor and allows the DR-3 to act as the remote for the DP-1 CD/DVD player. Press it a second time and the DS preamp switches to the 6CH Analog input for a DVD-Audio or multi-channel SACD player. What these buttons can’t do is select more than one set of remote codes. You can program ONE device per Source button. Don’t worry, it isn’t very likely that you are going to have both a digital and an analog cable tuner or two DVD players hooked up to your system. Of course, before the DR-3 can operate any device other than the DS preamp/processor and DP-1 CD/DVD player, you have to insert the device’s remote codes into the DR-3. (See page 7 for instructions on how to program and use this remote for other devices.)

IMPORTANT NOTE: The VOL , SURROUND MODE, MUTE, SUB+ and SUB– buttons are permanently assigned to Digital Solution preamp/processor functions. No matter what other device you have selected on the DR-3 remote, you can always adjust the DS system volume, subwoofer level, mute and surround mode functions.

2. LIGHT – Back lights the remote buttons for 8 seconds so you can operate the remote in the dark. The function of this button does not change when you enter program codes for other devices.

3. MUTE –Mutes the sound of the Digital Solution preamp/processor system. To disengage the mute function and go back to normal playback volume, press the MUTE button again or press either of the VOLUME buttons. The function of this button does not change when you enter program codes for other devices.

4. SURROUND MODE –This button toggles between the various audio modes of the Digital Solution system such as stereo, Dolby Pro-Logic, 5 Channel Surround, etc. The function of this button does not change when you enter program codes for other devices.

5. VOL –These buttons control the volume of the Digital Solution preamp/processor. The functions of these buttons do not change when you enter program codes for other devices.

6. CHNL – With the Digital Solution system these buttons step through the preset radio stations just like the Radio Preset +/- rocker buttons on the DR-2 remote (included with the DS System). With other TV devices (TV, cable boxes, VCR, etc.) these buttons act as channel up and down buttons.

7. GUIDE – With DVD and CD players this button acts as a chapter skip button to skip back to previous DVD chapters or CD tracks. With a TV it acts as the “Display” button to call up the channel, time and other on-screen display data. With DSS, cable boxes and TIVO-type devices it calls up the programming guide screen.

With DSS and cable tuner boxes and the Multi-room function of the Digital Solution system, it acts as the up arrow navigation button for the on-screen display.

10. REW – With DVD, CD, VCR and TIVO-type players, this button acts as a rewind or back button. For DSS, cable boxes, TVs and the Multi-room function of the Digital Solution system, it acts as the left navigation button for on-screen displays.

11.ENTER/PLAY – With DVD, CD, VCR and TIVO-type players, this button acts as a Play button. With all devices it acts as the Enter button to select items on an on-screen display.

12.FF – With DVD, CD, VCR and TIVO-type players, this button acts as a fast-forward or forward button. For DSS, cable boxes, TVs and the Multi-room function of the Digital Solution system, it acts as the right navigation button for on-screen displays.

13.STOP – With DVD, CD, VCR and TIVO-type players, this button acts as the Stop button. For DSS, cable boxes, TVs and the Multiroom function of the Digital Solution system, it acts as the Down navigation button for on-screen displays.

14.•DISC /CLEAR – Acts as the Clear command for CD and DVD players. Acts as the Record button for all recording devices such as VCR, TIVO, etc. (The little red dot means “record”.) This button has no function with the Digital Solution preamp/processor.

15.^

TV/VCR – This button opens and closes the disc drawer of CD

and DVD players. It acts as the (TV/VCR) input toggle switch on TVs and VCRs and other video devices. It has no function with the Digital Solution preamp/processor.

16.Numeric Keypad – Acts just like the number keypad on all other devices. These buttons have no function with the Digital Solution preamp/processor. The +10 button acts as the Previous Channel function on cable boxes and TVs. With CD players it acts as the Repeat button.

17.SUB+ and SUB- – These buttons raise and lower the volume of the Digital Solution subwoofer just like the SUBWOOFER +/- buttons on the DR-1 & DR-2 remotes. The function of these buttons does not change when you enter program codes for other devices.

18.Tune+/SET-UP – Acts as the manual “tune up the dial” control for the radio of the Digital Solution system and calls up the Setup menu of a DVD player. For the function on other devices see the chart on page 6.

19.SCAN/DVD MENU – With the Digital Solution tuner this acts as the Preset Scan button. With DVD players it calls up the DVD software menu.

DR-3 FUNCTION LIST

www.polkaudio.com

Manual Three-Digit Code Method

The DR-3 remote control can duplicate the remote functions of most brands of audio/video equipment by simply entering in a three-digit code number. When you enter in the code the DR-3 “learns” most or all of the remote functions of that equipment so you don’t need to program the DR-3 button by button. There are tables on pages 14 - 15 that list the major audio/video brands and their three-digit remote codes.

Quick Instructions

1. Look up code number

2. Turn on equipment

3. Press and hold CODE until the Status Light glows red

4. Press Source/Device button

5. Enter code number

6. Press SAVE

Detailed Instructions

1. Look up the type and brand of equipment you wish to duplicate in the tables that appear on pages 14 - 15 in this manual. For example, if you wish to program the DR-3 to operate a Panasonic VCR, go to the VCR chart on page 15 and find the code(s) for Panasonic. It might be a good idea to jot that number down on this page so you have it handy as you move through the programming steps.

Note: If there is more than one three-digit number listed for your brand, try one code number at a time until your equipment turns off after the last step in the programming process. When your equipment turns off, you have selected the right code. You can also verify that you have programmed the correct three-digit number by pressing the SOURCE POWER button. Your equipment should turn On and Off.

2. Turn on the equipment you wish to program. NOTE: From here on in you have 20 seconds to perform each step.

If the Source/Device button light goes off, you need to back up a step and do it again. You can exit the set-up mode by pressing the CNCL (cancel) button at any time in the process.

3. Press and hold the CODE button for two seconds. The red status light at the top left of the remote will turn on.

4. Press the Source/Device button you wish to program (e.g. VCR, DVD, etc.). The Source button will light up. In the case of the Panasonic VCR example, you would push the VCR Source button.

5. Point the Polk DR-3 remote control toward the equipment and enter the first listed three-digit code number of your brand of equipment. The Status light and the Source/Device button will blink once for each button pressed. The equipment will turn off when you enter

the correct three-digit number.

6. Press and hold the SA VEbutton for 2 seconds to store the threedigit number. The Status light and the Source/Device button light will blink twice to confirm that the code has been stored, and then turn off.

7. Try all the functions on the remote control. NOTE: If any of the functions do not work as they should, repeat

the programming process using the next three-digit code number assigned to your brand. If only one or two buttons don’t work right, it may be easier to individually “teach” the DR-3 those commands (see page 9) or use the Auto Search method (see page 8) rather than trying all the three-digit codes.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

Polk customer service (800) 377-7655

Auto Search Method

If none of the three-digit code numbers assigned to your brand shut off your equipment or if your brand of equipment is not listed in the code tables, you can use the Auto Search Method to find the correct threedigit number for your equipment.

1. Turn on the equipment you wish to program.

NOTE: From here on in you have 20 seconds to perform each step. If the Source/Device button light goes off, you need to back up a step and do it again. You can exit the set-up mode by pressing the CNCL (cancel) button at any time in the process.

2. Press and hold the CODE button for two seconds. The red status

light at the top left of the remote will turn on.

3. Press the Source/Device button you wish to program (e.g. VCR,

DVD, etc.). The Source/Device button light will turn on.

4. Press and hold the CH UP or CH DOWN button. The remote will

emit a series of Power On/OFF code signals that are stored in its memory. Release the CHbutton as soon as the equipment turns off. You can verify that you have chosen the correct code by pressing the SOURCE POWER button, the device should turn On and Off. The status light and the Source/Device button will blink.

5. Press and hold the SA VEbutton for two seconds to store the code.

The status light and the Source/Device button light will blink twice and then turn off to confirm that the code has been stored.

Note: You can verify that you have chosen the correct code by pressing the SOURCE POWER button, the device should turn On and Off. The status light and the Source/Device button will blink.

Finding the Three-Digit Code Number for a Device

If you are curious which three-digit code was auto-assigned to a given Source button follow these steps:

1. Turn on the equipment you wish to operate.

2. Press and hold the CODE button for two seconds. The red status

light at the top left of the remote will turn on.

3. Press the Source/Device button for which you want to find the

three-digit number. The Sour ce/Devicebutton light will turn on.

4. Press the GUIDE button. The red status light and Source button

will blink indicating the number for each digit of the three-digit code number. Each digit is separated by a 1 second “off” interval of the light.

Example: One blink, LIGHT OFF, Three blinks, LIGHT OFF and Eight blinks, indicates that the three-digit code number 138 is stored in the remote for that device. Note: Ten blinks are equal to the number 0.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

www.polkaudio.com

Teaching Method

From time to time the three-digit programming method doesn’t automatically program in all of the commands of the original remote. In such cases you can “teach” the DR-3 individual commands from your original equipment remote control. New commands can be taught to any button except the eight Source/Device buttons at the top of the remote and the LIGHT, MACRO, LEARN, CODE, SAVE, CNCL, MUTE, SURROUND MODE, VOL UP, VOL DOWN, SUB+, SUB– and SYSTEM POWER buttons.

The remote control provides visual feedback via the status light that is located at the top left of the remote control, and the Source/Device buttons. The status light glows in three colors (red, orange and green). These lights will assist you in programming in the learning section of the remote control.

NOTE: You have 20 seconds to perform each step. If the source button light goes off, you need to back up a step and do it again. You can exit the learning mode by pressing the CNCL (cancel) button at any time in the process.

Quick Instructions

Place the DR-3 remote and the original remote controls on a table pointing toward each other as shown in the illustration.

1. Press LEARN for two seconds

2. Select device type with source buttons

3. Push button to be taught on the DR-3

4. Push and hold the button on other remote

5. Wait for green light

6. Release button & press/hold it again until green light blinks, release

7. Repeat steps 3 - 6 for other buttons

8. Press SAVE

Start from the beginning for each device.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

Polk Customer Service (800) 377-7655

Programming the Macro Button

The MACRO button can send out a sequence of up to 20 commands with one button press. It can be programmed for up to eight Source button macros and perform multi-step operations with just one button push. For example, you can program the MACRO button to turn on the TV, turn on the DS system, turn on the DVD player, select the correct Video input, and open DVD drawer with the push of one just button.

Each Source/Device button can have an associated Macro program. That means you can set up as many as 8 Macros. You cannot set up two different Macros for the same Source/Device button even though the top row buttons can select two inputs. Let’s give you an example: the 6CH/DVD Source/Device button can select either the 6 Channel or the DVD input, but only 1 Macro.

Before you begin the Macro programming process, you first have to program all of your system’s equipment into the DR-3 remote. Use any of the methods described earlier in this manual to fully program the DR-3 remote. It is a good idea to use your DR-3 remote for a few days to familiarize yourself with its basic operation before setting up MACRO operations.

Planning the sequence of commands is very important. For example, some devices (especially TVs) will not accept other commands until they are fully turned “on.” You may have to turn on all the devices first, then give them other commands later in the sequence. You may need to try different command sequences to get to the right result. See the example on page 13 to get a feel for programming a Macro.

NOTE: You have 20 seconds to perform each step. If the Source button light goes off, you need to back up a step and do it again. You can exit the set-up mode by pressing the CNCL (cancel) button at any time in the process.

1. Press and hold the CODE button for two seconds. The status light at the top left of the remote will turn red.

2. Press the desired Source/Device button. The button will light up.

3. Press the MACRO button. The status light and the Source/Device button will blink once.

4. Press up to 20 commands you would like to include in the macro sequence starting with the Source button. Pressing a Source button to change modes is counted as one command.

5. Press the SAVE button to store the commands. The red status light and the Source button lights will blink twice and then turn off to confirm the program.

To Erase a Macro Sequence:

Follow the above Steps 1, 2, 3 and 5 without going through Step 4.

MACRO OPERATION

www.polkaudio.com

Macro Sequence Programming Example:

Confused? Don’t worry, it isn’t as bad as it looks. Let’s walk you through a hypothetical Macro sequence to show you how it works. In this example, we are programming the DVD source Macro button to turn on the TV, the Digital Solution system and the DVD player as well as select the DVD player as the source to view. In this case, we are assuming that you have programmed the TV codes into the CBL Source/Device.

1. Press and hold the CODE button for two seconds. The status light at the top left of the remote will glow red.

2. Press the DVD Source button. The DVD Source button will light up.

3. Press the MACRO button. The red status light and the DVD button lights will blink once.

4. Press the CBL Source button

5. Press the SOURCE POWER button to select the TV’s power command.

6. Press the SYSTEM POWER button to select the Digital Solution’s power command.

7. Press the DVD source button.

8. Press the SOURCE POWER button to select the DVD’s power command

9. Press and hold the SAVE button until the red status light and the Source button lights will blink twice and then turn off to confirm the program.

In this example the sequence is important. The DVD turn-on command should be the last command in the Macro string, so that the Digital Solution system’s input is on.
