SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Input Setup

The first step in configuring the DPR 1001 is to config-
ure each input. When using the full-OSD system to make
the setup adjustments, press the

OSD Button

once so that the

MAIN

menu (Figure 1) appears.

The

IN/OUT SETUP

line will be highlighted.

Press the

Set Button

to enter the menu and the

IN/OUT SETUP

menu (Figure 2) will appear on

the screen. Press the

‹

›

Navigation Buttons

until the desired input name appears, as well as being
indicated in the front panel

Input Indicators

by the

amber LED next to the desired input name. If the input
will use the standard left/right analog inputs, no further
adjustment is needed.

Figure 2

If you wish to associate one of the digital inputs with the
selected input source, press the

Navigation Button

while the

IN/OUT SETUP

menu (Figure 2)

is on the screen, and the

DIGITAL IN

line

will be highlighted in reverse text. Press the

‹

›

Navigation Buttons

until the name of the desired

digital input appears. To return to the analog input, press
the buttons until the word

ANALOG

appears.

When the correct input source appears, press the

Navigation Button

once so that

RETURN

TO MAIN MENU

is highlighted, and press the

Set

Button

To change the digital input at any time using the remote
control and the semi-OSD system, press the

Digital

Select Button

. Within five seconds, make your

input selection using the

⁄

Navigation Buttons

until the desired digital or analog input is shown in

the

Upper Display Line

and in the video display

connected to the DPR 1001. Press the

Set Button

to enter the new digital input assignment.

To change the digital input from the front panel, press the

Set Button

and then press the

⁄

Buttons

until the amber

LED

is next to

DIGITAL SELECT

in the

System Configuration Indicators

on the right

side of the front panel and

DIGI SEL MODE

appears in the

Lower Display Line

. Within five sec-

onds, press the

Set Button

again, and then press the

⁄

Buttons

again to cycle through the list of

available inputs. When the desired digital input (or the ana-
log input) name flashes in the right portion of the message
in the

Upper Display Line

and in the on-screen dis-

play, press the

Set Button

to enter your choice into

the unit’s memory. The DPR 1001 will return to normal
operation and displays within five seconds.

NOTE:

When a source such as an HDTV receiver

or a digital cable set-top box is used, you may wish
to connect both the coaxial digital output and the
standard, analog output of the source to the DPR’s
VID 2 input since the program sources and channels
received by these devices often switch between
analog and digital audio.

An exclusive Harman Kardon feature is the ability to
switch the front panel coaxial digital audio and analog
audio/video jacks from their normal use as inputs to out-
put connections so that portable recording devices may
easily be connected. On the DPR 1001, the

Digital

Coax 3 Jack

is normally an input, but it may be

switched to a digital output for use with CD-R/RW decks,
MD recorders or other A/V recorders. To change the jack
to an output, press the

⁄

Navigation Buttons

while the

IN/OUT SETUP

menu is on the screen

until

COAXIAL 3

is highlighted. Then press the

‹

›

Navigation Buttons

so that the word

OUT

appears. The

Input/Output Status Indicator



will

turn red, indicating that the jack is now a record output.

NOTE:

A signal will be sent to this jack only when the

input selected for use by the DPR 1001 is digital. Digital
signals will be passed through regardless of their format,
and which digital input (optical or coax) they are fed
from. However, analog signals are not converted to digi-
tal, and the signal’s format (e.g., PCM, Dolby Digital or
DTS) may not be changed.

Selection of the front panel jacks as an output will remain
effective as long as the DPR 1001 is on. Once the unit
is turned off, the jacks will revert to their normal use as
an input when the unit is turned on again.

The front panel analog

Video 4 Jacks

are normally

set as an input for use with camcorders, video games
and other portable audio/video products, but they may
be switched to an output for connection to portable
audio/video recorders. To temporarily switch them to out-
puts, you must first be at the

IN/OUT SETUP

menu. Press the

Navigation Button

until the

VIDEO 4

line is highlighted. Press the

›

Button

so that the word

OUT

appears. Note that the

Input/Output Status Indicator



between the S-

and composite video jacks will turn red, indicating that
the analog Video 4 jacks are now record outputs.

Surround Setup

Once the basic input setup has been completed, the next
step is to select the surround mode you wish to use with
an input. 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 1001, it is best to
select Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7 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 sur-
round-encoded material. Alternatively, the Logic 7 Music
mode is a good choice for two-channel source material.

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

MAIN

(Figure 1), press the

⁄

Navigation Buttons

until

SURROUND SELECT

is highlighted. Press

the

Set Button

so that the

SURROUND

SELECT

menu (Figure 3) is on the screen.

Figure 3

Each of the lines on the menu (Figure 3) contains a cat-
egory menu surround mode and within those menus you
may choose one of the sub-modes. The list of sub-
modes in some categories will vary according to whether
5.1 or 6.1/7.1 operation is chosen. Also, some of the
modes available in the DPR 1001 will not appear unless a
digital source is selected and playing the correct bitstream.

The selection of 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 configuration is deter-
mined by the setting for Surround Back Speakers in the
Speaker Setup menu. The factory setting is for “None,”
which will mean that only 5.1 modes will be available. To
utilize the 6.1/7.1 surround modes, change the setting
for the Surround Back Speakers to either Large or Small,
as shown in the instructions on page 20. This will auto-
matically activate all 6.1/7.1 surround mode options.

To select the mode that will be used as the initial default
for an input, first press the

⁄

Navigation Buttons

until the on-screen cursor is next to the desired

mode’s master category name. Next, press the

Set

Button

to view the sub-menu. Press the

‹

›

Navigation Buttons

to scroll through the available

choices, and then press the

Navigation Button

so that the cursor is next to

RETURN TO

MAIN MENU

to continue the setup process.

On the

DOLBY SURR

menu (Figure 4), the choices

include Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II Music, Dolby
Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo.
When a 6.1/7.1 speaker configuration is used,
Dolby Digital EX replaces the Dolby Digital mode. For a
complete explanation of these modes, see page 26. Note
that when a Dolby Digital mode is selected there are
additional settings available for the Night mode.

Note also that some of the available surround mode
combinations include both Dolby Digital and the various
