INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

the instruction shown for “Changing Devices” as
shown on page 43. You may also learn the codes
for the device connected to any input by following
the instructions for “Learning Codes” shown on
page 42.

4. Connect the composite video or S-Video and ana-

log left/right audio outputs of a DVD player to the

DVD Input Jacks

on the rear panel.

5. Connect the optical or coaxial digital audio outputs

of a DVD player, satellite receiver, cable box, HDTV
tuner or video game to any of the

Optical

Coaxial Digital Inputs

ﬂ‡

. The recom-

mended connection for a DVD player is to use a
Coaxial digital link connected to the Coaxial Digital
Audio Input 1, but you may change the digital
audio input assignment for any source using the

IN/OUT SETUP

menu as described on

page 21 or the

Digital Input Selector

on the front panel or remote, as described on
page 33.

NOTE:

When connecting a device such as a digital

cable box or other set-top tuner product with a digital
audio output, we recommend that you connect both
the digital and analog outputs of the product to your
DPR. The audio input polling feature of the DPR will
then be able to make certain that you have a constant
audio feed, since it will automatically switch the audio
input to the analog jacks if the digital feed is interrupted
or not available for a particular channel.

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 has Y/Pr/Pb analog component

video outputs, connect them to the

Component

Video 1 Inputs

. Although this set of inputs may

be assigned to any of the five video inputs on the
DPR 2005, the factory default is for this input to be
assigned to the

DVD Inputs

. Remember to

make a digital audio connection between the DVD
player and the DPR, with the

Coaxial Digital

Input 1

ﬂ

being the factory default. For informa-

tion on changing the input assignments for either
the component video jacks or the DVD player’s
audio connection, see page 21.

8. If you have other devices with Y/Pr/Pb or RGB

component video outputs, connect the source
device to the

Component Video 2 Inputs

The audio connections may be made to the

Video

4 Inputs

¡™¢§

or the

Optical

Coaxial

Digital Inputs

ﬂ‡

. When using either of

the Component Video Inputs, make certain that the
audio and video inputs are properly configured in
the

IN/OUT SETUP

menu, as described

on page 21.

9. If the component video inputs are used, connect

the

Component Video Monitor Outputs

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

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

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

Front-Panel Inputs

HJK

. A

device connected here is selected as the Video 5
input, and the digital inputs must be assigned to
the Video 5 input. (See page 21 for more informa-
tion 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. For this reason, we recommend
that you always make a composite or S-Video con-
nection between the DPR and your video display,
even if all the sources in use have component
video outputs.

• The DPR 2005 will accept either standard com-

posite, S-Video or Y/Pr/Pb component video sig-
nals. However, it will not convert composite or S
signals to component video. Component or com-
posite video signals may only be viewed in their
native formats.

• We strongly recommend that a composite or S-

Video connection be made from any video source
even when a component connection is the primary
playback mode. This enables the DPR to provide a
feed to a record output, provided that simultaneous
composite and component playback are possible.

System and Power Connections

The DPR 2005 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 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
connection from the

Remote IR Output

jack to

the Remote IR Input jack on Harman Kardon or other
compatible equipment.

Multiroom IR Link

The remote room IR receiver should be connected to
the

Multiroom IR Input

jack on the DPR 2005’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 connected

to the IR IN jack on 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

The DPR 2005 is equipped with multizone capabilities
that allow it to send an audio source to the remote
zone that i s different from the one selected for use in
the main room. Please note that this capability applies
to analog inputs from sources such as the DPR’s
tuner, tape decks or VCRs. If you wish to use a source
such as a DVD or CD player that is normally connected
via a digital connection, it is necessary to run an
analog connection from the source to the DPR or to
use the Main Downmix input option, as explained on
page 39.

Depending on your system’s requirement, three
options are available for audio connection:

Option 1:

Use high-quality, shielded audio intercon-

nect cable from the DPR 2005’s location to the
remote room. In the remote room, connect the inter-
connect cable to an optioinal external stereo power
amplifier. The amplifier will be connected to the room’s
speakers. At the DPR 2005, plug the audio intercon-
nect cables into the

Multiroom Audio Outputs

on the DPR 2005’s rear panel.

Option 2:

Connect the

Multiroom Audio Outputs

on the DPR 2005 to the inputs of an optional

stereo power amplifier. Run high-quality speaker wire
from the amplifier to the speakers in the remote room.

Option 3:

Taking advantage of the DPR 2005’s built-

in seven-channel amplifier, it is possible to use two of
the amplifier channels to power speakers in the remote
room. When using this option you will not be able to
use the full 7.1-channel capabilities of the DPR 2005
in the main listening room, but you will be able to
add another listening room without external power
amplifiers. To use the internal amplifiers to power a
remote zone, connect the speakers for the remote
room location to the

Surround Back/Multiroom

Speaker Outputs

. Before using the remote room

you will need to configure the amplifiers for surround
