menu (Figure 2).

3.Press the

reverse video, depending on which input you wish
to change to an output. Either input or both may be
changed at any time.

return to normal operation.

Once the setting is made, the appropriate

Input/

Output Status Indicator



will turn red, indicating

that the selected analog or digital jacks are now an
output, instead of in the default setting as an input.
Once changed to an output, the setting will remain as
long as the DPR 1001 is turned on, unless the setting
is changed in the OSD menu system, as described
above. However once the DPR 1001 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 these 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 1001 is
established using the test tone, as outlined on pages
22 and 23. In some cases, however, it may be desir-
able 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.

When adjusting channel output levels, the EzSet
remote may be used to serve as an SPL meter so that
levels may be set more accurately. To use the remote
in its manual mode for this purpose, follow the instruc-
tions shown on page 23.

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

level. Remember, the goal is to have the output level
at each channel sound equal when heard at the

The output levels may be separately trimmed for

each digital and analog surround mode. If you wish to
have different trim levels for a specific mode, select that
mode and then repeat the instructions in this section.

6-Channel/8-Channel Direct Input

The DPR 1001 is equipped for future expansion
through the use of optional, external adapters for for-
mats that the DPR 1001 may not be capable of pro-
cessing or to allow connection to the output of high-
resolution optical audio playback systems such as
DVD-Audio or SACD. When a device with six-channel
outputs (5.1 audio) is used, connect the source device
to the

6-Channel Direct Inputs

. When a device

with eight-channel outputs (7.1) audio is used, connect
the additional Surround Back Left (SBL) and Surround
Back Right (SBR) outputs to the

8-Channel Direct

Inputs

on the DPR 1001. To select these inputs,

press the

6-Channel/8-Channel Input Select

Button

on the remote.

When the 6-Channel or 8-Channel Direct Input is in
use, you may not select a surround mode, as the
external decoder determines the processing in use. In
addition, there is no signal at the record outputs when
the 6-Channel or 8-Channel Direct Input is in use.

Memory Backup

This product is equipped with a memory backup system
that preserves the system configuration information
and tuner presets if the unit is accidentally unplugged
or subjected to a power outage. This memory will last
for approximately two weeks, after which time all
information must be reentered.
