IMPORTANT NOTE
: When an A-BUS module is
connected, the DPR’s Multiroom system must be
turned on before the A-BUS module is able to
communicate with the DPR. Once turned on
using the instructions in the preceding para-
graph, the Multiroom system must remain on in
order for the A-BUS module to operate.
When the unit is in the Standby mode, but ready
for Multiroom or A-BUS operation, the lighting
around the
Standby/On Switch
3
remains
blue and a
MULTI O N
message appears in the
Lower Display Line
˜
, even though the unit
is “off” in the main listening room.
When the multiroom system is turned on, the
input selected using the Multiroom Menu will be
fed to the
Multiroom Output
jacks
"
on the
rear panel as well as the
A-BUS Jack
.
The volume will be as set in the same menu,
although it may also be adjusted using an option-
al IR sensor and the Zone II remote in the remote
location or on the optional audio power amplifier
connected to the
Multiroom Output
jacks
"
.
Although changes to the input source or remote
room volume will normally be made using an IR
sensor in the remote room that is connected to
the DPR, it is also possible to change those set-
tings from the main listening room. This is useful
for situations where some or all of the remote
rooms do not have an IR sensor, or to take con-
trol over the remote room without actually being
in that room.
In addition to using the
MULTIROOM
menu,
as shown on the previous page, you may change
the source or volume in the remote zone using
the remote. Press the
Multiroom Button

on the remote, and when the
MULTI
ON/OFF

the
Set Button
F
and then press the

until the desired input
appears in the on-screen display and in the

To change the remote room’s volume, when

appears, press the
Set
Button
F
, and press the

¤
Navigation
Button

to change the volume setting. Note
that this volume adjustment controls the level for
the output to the
Multiroom Audio Outputs
"
and for any speakers connected to the
Surround
Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs
when the Surround Back amplifier channels
are configured for Multiroom use, as shown on
page 40. This adjustment does NOT change the
volume level for any room where an ABUS mod-
ule is used, as that setting is only adjustable
using the A-BUS module’s volume control or
built-in IR sensor.
Once the multiroom system is turned on, it will
remain on even if the DPR is placed in the
Standby mode in the main room by pressing the
Power Off Button
0
or the

on the front panel. To turn off the
multiroom system from the main listening room,

too, the multiroom system may be turned on at
any time by pressing the

NOTES ON MULTIROOM OPERATION:
• The Zone II remote does not contain a button
for the front-panel Video 5 input, but you may
select that source for the Multiroom system using
the
MULTI-ROOM SETUP
menu or an
optional remote that has been programmed with
the code for the Video 5 button from the DPR’s
main remote control.
• In addition to the Zone II remote supplied with
your DPR, you may use the main remote control
or any remote programmed with Harman Kardon
codes. Note, however, that only the remote codes
applicable to the remote room system or the
operation of source devices will function. Buttons
used to change other “Main Room” listening
functions such as surround mode changes will
not work with the multiroom system.
Basic Tuner Operation
