INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

Jacks

‚⁄›ﬁ

on the rear panel. The Audio

and Video Record/In jacks on the VCR should be
connected to the

Video 1

Video 2 Out Jacks

‹ﬂ‡

on the DPR 1001.

2. Connect the analog audio and video outputs of a

television set or any other video source to the

Video

2 Input Jacks

›ﬁ

3. Connect the analog audio and video outputs of a

satellite receiver, cable TV converter or any other
video source to the

Video 3 Jacks

°·

4. Connect the analog audio and video outputs of

a DVD or laser disc player to the

DVD Jacks

. When a digital audio connection is used

for your DVD player, the default connection is
the

Coaxial 1 Digital Audio Input Jack

However, the connection may also be made to any
of the

Optical

Coaxial

digital

audio inputs, provided that the digital input source
selection is changed as shown on pages 18 and
27. If your DVD or DVD-Audio player includes an
onboard surround decoder and 6- or 8-channel
line-level audio outputs, you may connect these
audio outputs to the

and

8-Channel Direct

Inputs

as appropriate. When you wish to

hear this decoded audio, select the DVD input first in
order to select the video signal from the DVD player,
then select the 6- or 8-Channel Direct Input source
for the audio.

5. Connect the digital audio outputs of a DVD player,

satellite receiver, cable box or HDTV converter to the
appropriate

Optical

Coaxial Digital Inputs

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 and monitor both have

component video connections, connect the
component outputs of the DVD player to the

DVD Component Video Inputs

. Even when

component video connections are used, the audio
connections should still be made to either the analog

DVD Audio Inputs

or any of the

Optical

Coaxial Digital Input Jacks

8. If another component video device is available,

connect it to the

Video 2 Component Video Input

Jacks

. The audio connections for this device

should be made to either the

Video 2 Audio Input

Jacks

ﬁ

or any of the

Optical

Coaxial Digital

Input Jacks

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

Video Monitor Component Video Outputs

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

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

audio/video device that is connected to the receiver
on a temporary rather than permanent basis, con-
nect the audio, video and digital audio outputs of that
device to the

Video 4 Front Panel Inputs

. A

device connected here is selected as the Video 4
input, and the digital inputs must be assigned to the
Video 4 input. (See pages 18 and 27 for more
information on input configuration.)

VIDEO CONNECTION NOTES:

• When the component video jacks are used, the on-

screen menus are not visible and you must switch to
the standard composite or S-Video input on your TV
to view them.

• The DPR 1001 will accept either standard composite,

S-Video or Y/Pr/Pb component video signals. How-
ever, it will not convert composite or S signals to
component video.

• Component or composite video signals may only be

viewed in their native formats.

System and Power Connections

The DPR 1001 is designed for flexible use with multi-
room 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 infrared (IR) 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 con-
nection from the

Remote IR Output Jack

to the

remote IR input jack on Harman Kardon (or other com-
patible) equipment.

Multiroom IR Link

The remote room IR receiver should be connected to
the DPR 1001 via standard coaxial cable. Plug the IR
connection cable into the

Multiroom IR Input Jack

on the DPR 1001’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 con-

nected to the IR IN jack on the 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

Depending on the distance from the DPR 1001 to
the remote room, three options are available for audio
connection:

Option 1:

Run high-quality, shielded audio interconnect

cable from the DPR 1001 to the remote room. In the
remote room, connect the interconnect cable to a stereo
power amplifier. The amplifier will be connected to the
room’s speakers. At the DPR 1001, plug the audio inter-
connect cables into the

Multiroom Output Jacks

on the DPR 1001’s rear panel.

Option 2:

Connect the

Multiroom Output Jacks

on the DPR 1001 to the inputs of an optional stereo
power amplifier that is located with the DPR. Run high-
quality speaker wire from the amplifier to the speakers in
the remote room.

Option 3:

When only a 5.1-channel system is required

for the main listening area, the

Surround Back

Speaker Outputs

may be configured for use in the

second zone of a multiroom system. Run high-quality
speaker wire from the

Surround Back Speaker

Output

terminals on the DPR 1001 to the speakers

in the remote room. Then, follow the instructions on
page 20 for using the DPR 1001’s on-screen menu
system to configure the

Surround Back Speaker

Outputs

for operation in the remote room.

NOTE:

In all of these options, you may connect an

optional IR sensor in the remote room to the DPR 1001
via an appropriate cable. Connect the sensor’s cable to
the

Multiroom IR Input

on the DPR 1001 and use

the Zone II remote to control the room volume. Alter-
natively, you may install an optional volume control
between the output of the amplifier or

Surround Back

Speaker Outputs

and the speakers.

AC Power Connections

This unit is equipped with two

AC Accessory 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 for both outlets may not exceed 100 watts.

The top outlet is unswitched, which means that power is
available as long as the DPR is plugged in.

The bottom outlet is switched, which means that power
is supplied only when the DPR is turned on. Since the
power is removed when the DPR is turned off, this outlet
should not be used for devices such as VCRs where a
constant power source is required for a clock or timer, or
for products that do not have a mechanical power switch
and thus turn off when AC power is removed.

Finally, when all connections are complete, plug the
power cord into a nonswitched AC wall outlet. You’re
almost ready to enjoy the DPR 1001!
