DIGITAL PATH RECEIVER  
OWNER’S MANUAL  
INTRODUCTION  
Thank You for Choosing Harman Kardon®  
Along with the many listening options, the DPR 2005  
offers numerous settings that let you customize the  
system. A Quadruple Crossover bass management  
system configures each speaker group for a different  
crossover setting, while the assignable, wide bandwidth  
component video inputs may be linked to any video  
source. To further enhance the viewing experience with  
digital video sources or advanced digital video dis-  
plays, the DPR 2005’s A/V Sync Delay feature allows  
you to compensate for the loss of lip sync common in  
many video processing systems by delaying the audio  
signal independently for each input. An advanced ver-  
sion of Harman Kardon’s patented EzSet remote com-  
pletes the package, making it easier than ever to set  
system output levels and to program the remote to  
operate virtually any program source.  
All popular digital and matrix surround modes,  
including Dolby* Digital, Dolby Digital EX,  
With the purchase of a Harman Kardon DPR 2005,  
you are about to begin many years of listening enjoy-  
ment. Thanks to its completely digital path system, the  
DPR 2005 is truly a receiver for the new millennium.

used to feed an optional, external power amplifier and  
volume control. For one-wire multiroom connectivity,  
Description and Features  
Harman Kardon’s breakthrough Digital Path Receiver  
technology, of which the DPR 2005 is the second  
generation, keeps signals in the digital domain from  
the input to the output. Along with the newly designed  
PWM digital amplifier, this not only reduces signal  
degradation caused by digital-to-analog conversion  
stages; the increased efficiency makes it possible to  
reduce the DPR’s size and weight without sacrificing  
performance.  
®
the DPR 2005 is A-BUS Ready, requiring only a sin-  
gle Category 5/5e cable and an optional remote mod-  
ule to power remote speakers while controlling volume  
and enabling full control over the program source and  
compatible IR-controlled devices.  
The DPR 2005 is designed to serve as the hub of  
your home entertainment system, providing a variety  
of listening options. When playing movies or other pro-  
gramming from digital formats such as DVD or HDTV,  
the DPR decodes Dolby* Digital, Dolby Digital EX,  
Combining state-of-the-art circuitry, digital technology  
and proven performance with an elegant design that  
is compatible with the latest source components and  
video displays, the DPR 2005 represents the culmina-  
tion of Harman Kardon’s 50-year history of delivering  
the finest sonic performance.

SAFETY INFORMATION  
Installation Location  
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the  
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by  
one or more of the following measures:  
Important Safety Information  
To ensure proper operation and to avoid the poten-  
tial for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and  
level surface. When placing the unit on a shelf, be  
certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware  
can support the weight of the product.  
Verify Line Voltage Before Use  
Your DPR 2005 has been designed for use with  
120-volt AC current. Connection to a line voltage  
other than that for which it is intended can create a  
safety and fire hazard and may damage the unit.  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment  
and receiver.  
Make certain that proper space is provided both  
above and below the unit for ventilation. If this  
product will be installed in a cabinet or other  
enclosed area, make certain that there is sufficient  
air movement within the cabinet. Under some cir-  
cumstances, a fan may be required.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit  
different from that to which the receiver is connected.  
If you have any questions about the voltage requirements  
for your specific model, or about the line voltage in your  
area, contact your selling dealer before plugging the unit  
into a wall outlet.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV  
technician for help.  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:  
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference,  
and (2) this device must accept interference received,  
including interference that may cause undesired  
operation.  
Do not place the unit directly on a carpeted  
surface.  
Do Not Use Extension Cords  
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord  
attached to your unit. We do not recommend that  
extension cords be used with this product. As with all  
electrical devices, do not run power cords under rugs  
or carpets or place heavy objects on them. Damaged  
power cords should be replaced immediately by an  
authorized service center with a cord meeting factory  
specifications.  
Avoid installation in extremely hot or cold locations,  
or in an area that is exposed to direct sunlight or  
heating equipment.  
Avoid moist or humid locations.  
NOTE: Changes or modifications may cause this  
unit to fail to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules  
and may void the user’s authority to operate the  
equipment.  
Do not obstruct the ventilation slots on the top of  
the unit, or place objects directly over them.  
There is the remote possibility that the rubber  
padding on the bottom of the unit’s feet may  
leave marks on certain wood or veneer materials.  
Use caution when placing the unit on soft woods  
or other materials that may be damaged by heat  
or heavy objects.  
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently  
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC out-  
let, always pull the plug; never pull the cord. If you do  
not intend to use the unit for any considerable length  
of time, disconnect the plug from the AC outlet.  
Unpacking  
The carton and shipping materials used to protect your  
new receiver during shipment were specially designed  
to cushion it from shock and vibration. We suggest  
that you save the carton and packing materials for  
use in shipping if you move, or should the unit ever  
need repair.  
Cleaning  
Do Not Open the Cabinet  
When the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry  
cloth. If necessary, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened  
with mild soapy water, then a fresh cloth with clean  
water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER  
use benzene, aerosol cleaners, thinner, alcohol or any  
other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive clean-  
ers, as they may damage the finish of metal parts. Avoid  
spraying insecticide near the unit.  
There are no user-serviceable components inside this  
product. Opening the cabinet may present a shock  
hazard, and any modification to the product will void  
your guarantee. If water or any metal object such as a  
paper clip, wire or a staple accidentally falls inside the  
unit, disconnect it from the AC power source immedi-  
ately, and consult an authorized service center.  
To minimize the size of the carton in storage, you may  
wish to flatten it. This is done by carefully slitting the  
tape seams on the bottom and collapsing the carton.  
Other cardboard inserts may be stored in the same  
manner. Packing materials that cannot be collapsed  
should be saved along with the carton in a plastic bag.  
CATV or Antenna Grounding  
Moving the Unit  
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to  
this product, be certain that it is grounded so as to pro-  
vide some protection against voltage surges and static  
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,  
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with  
respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting  
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna  
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location  
of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding  
electrodes and requirements of the grounding  
electrode.  
If you do not wish to save the packaging materials,  
please note that the carton and other sections of the  
shipping protection are recyclable. Please respect the  
environment and discard those materials at a local  
recycling center.  
Before moving the unit, be certain to disconnect any  
interconnection cords with other components, and  
make certain that you disconnect the unit from the  
AC outlet.

different distance from the DPR 2005.  
System Installation  
After unpacking the unit, locating it in a place with ade-  
quate ventilation and placing it on a solid surface capable  
of supporting its weight, you will need to make the con-  
nections to your audio and video equipment.  
connection.  
8. Connections to a subwoofer are normally made via  
a line-level audio connection from the Subwoofer  
Output to the line-level input of a subwoofer  
with a built-in amplifier. When a passive subwoofer  
is used, the connection first goes to a power ampli-  
fier, which will be connected to one or more sub-  
woofer speakers. If you are using a powered sub-  
woofer that does not have line-level input connec-  
tions, follow the instructions furnished with the  
speaker for connection information.  
7. Connect the front, center, surround and surround  
back speaker outputs efghto the respective  
speakers.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: For your personal safety and to  
avoid possible damage to your equipment and speakers,  
it is always good practice to turn off and unplug the DPR  
and ALL source equipment from the AC output before  
making any audio or video system connections.  
To ensure that all the audio signals are carried to your  
speakers without loss of clarity or resolution, we sug-  
gest that you use high-quality speaker cable. Many  
brands of cable are available and the choice of cable  
may be influenced by the distance between your  
speakers and the receiver, the type of speakers you  
use, personal preferences and other factors. Your  
dealer or installer is a valuable resource to consult in  
selecting the proper cable.  
Audio Equipment Connections  
We recommend that you use high-quality interconnect  
cables when making connections to source equipment  
and recorders to preserve the integrity of the signals.  
9. If an external multichannel audio source with 5.1  
outputs such as an external digital processor/  
decoder, DVD-Audio or SACD player is used,  
connect the outputs of that device to the  
8-Channel Direct Inputs .  
1. Connect the analog output of a CD player to the  
CD Inputs .  
Regardless of the brand of cable selected, we recom-  
mend that you use cable with a gauge of 14 or smaller.  
Remember that in specifying cable, the lower the  
number, the thicker the cable.  
Video Equipment Connections  
NOTE: If your CD player has both fixed and variable  
audio outputs, it is best to use the fixed output unless  
you find that the input to the receiver is so low that the  
sound is noisy, or so high that it is distorted.  
Video equipment is connected in the same manner  
as audio components. Again, the use of high-quality  
interconnect cables is recommended to preserve  
signal quality.  
Cable with a gauge of 16 may be used for short runs  
of less than ten feet. We do not recommend that you  
use cables with an AWG equivalent of 18 or higher,  
due to the power loss and degradation in performance  
that will occur.  
2. Connect the analog Play/Out jacks of a cassette  
deck, MD, CD-R or other audio recorder to the  
Tape Inputs ¤. Connect the analog Record/In  
jacks on the recorder to the Tape Outputs ⁄  
on the DPR 2005.  
1. Connect the composite video or S-Video Play/  
Out jack of a VCR, Personal Video Receiver (PVR)  
or DVD-Recorder to the Video 1 or Video 2 Video  
Input Jacks ¢§on the rear panel. Although  
any other video device may also be connected to  
these jacks, we particularly recommend that VCRs  
and PVRs be connected to the Video 1 Input Jacks  
so that you are able to take advantage of the  
remote control codes for these devices that are  
programmed for the “Video1/VCR” button of the  
unit’s remote control.  
Cables that are run inside walls should have the appro-  
priate markings to indicate listing with UL, CSA or other  
appropriate testing agency standards. Questions about  
running cables inside walls should be referred to your  
installer or a licensed electrician who is familiar with  
the NEC and/or the applicable building codes in  
your area.  
3. Connect the output of any digital audio source  
such as such as a CD or DVD changer or player,  
advanced video game, a digital satellite receiver,  
HDTV tuner or digital cable set-top box or the  
output of a compatible computer sound card to  
the Optical and Coaxial Digital Audio Inputs  
fl‡HJ.  
When connecting wires to the speakers, be certain  
to observe proper polarity. Note that the positive (+)  
terminal of each speaker connection now carries a  
specific color code, as noted on page 8. However,  
most speakers still use a red terminal for the positive  
connection. Connect the “negative” or “black” wire  
to the same terminal on both the receiver and the  
speaker.  
2. Connect the composite video or S-Video Record/In  
jacks of a VCR, Personal Video Recorder (PVR) or  
DVD-Recorder to the Video 1 or Video 2 Video  
Output Jacks £on the rear panel. Although  
any other video device may also be connected to  
these jacks, we particularly recommend that VCRs  
and PVRs be connected to the Video 1 Output  
Jacks so that you are able to take advantage of the  
remote control codes for these devices that are  
programmed for the “Video 1/VCR” button of the  
unit’s remote control.  
4. Connect the coaxial or optical Digital Audio Outputs  
°·on the rear panel of the DPR 2005 to the

MiniDisc recorder.  
5. Assemble the AM loop antenna supplied with the unit  
so that the tabs at the bottom of the antenna loop  
snap into the holes in the base. Connect it to the  
NOTE: While most speaker manufacturers adhere to  
an industry convention of using black terminals for  
negative and red ones for positive, some may vary  
from this configuration. To ensure proper phase and  
optimal performance, consult the identification plate on  
your speaker or the speaker’s manual to verify polarity.  
If you do not know the polarity of your speaker, ask  
your dealer for advice before proceeding, or consult  
the speaker’s manufacturer.

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 or  
Coaxial Digital Inputs fl‡HJ. 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 Ep  
on the front panel or remote, as described on  
page 33.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
• 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.  
Depending on your system’s requirement, three  
options are available for audio connection:  
• 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.  
6. Connect the Video Monitor Output jacks on  
the receiver to the composite or S-Video input of  
your television monitor or video projector.  
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 ª  
on the DPR 2005’s rear panel.  
7. If your DVD Player has Y/Pr/Pb analog component  
video outputs, connect them to the Component  
Video 1 Inputs i. 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 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.  
System and Power Connections  
The DPR 2005 is designed for flexible use with multi-  
room systems, external control components and  
power amplifiers.  
Option 2: Connect the Multiroom Audio Outputs  
ªon 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.  
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 V jack.  
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 g. Before using the remote room  
you will need to configure the amplifiers for surround  
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 j.  
The audio connections may be made to the Video  
4 Inputs ¡™¢§or the Optical or Coaxial  
Digital Inputs fl‡HJ. 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.  
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 W jack to  
the Remote IR Input jack on Harman Kardon or other  
compatible equipment.

available through the Product Support area of the  
Harman Kardon Web site at harmankardon.com.  
The physical connection to the DPR 2005’s RS-232  
port is a standard D-SUB 9 connection but to assure  
compatible and proper operation, specific software  
commands and pin wiring schemes may be required.  
A-BUS® Installation Connections  
The DPR 2005 is among the very few receivers avail-  
able today that offer built-in A-BUS Ready operation.  
When used with an optional A-BUS keypad or control  
module, you have all the benefits of remote zone  
operation without the need for an external power  
amplifier.  
AC Power Connections  
This unit is equipped with two accessory AC outlets.  
They may be used to power accessory devices, but  
they should not be used with high-current draw equip-  
ment such as power amplifiers. The total power draw  
to each outlet may not exceed 100 watts.  
To use the DPR 2005 with an approved A-BUS prod-  
uct, simply connect the keypad or module that is in  
the remote room to the DPR 2005 using standard  
Category 5 wiring that is properly rated for the in-wall  
use specific to the installation. Terminate the wiring  
at the receiver end to a standard RJ-45 connector in  
compliance with the instructions furnished with the  
A-BUS module.  
The Switched AC Accessory Outlet dis powered  
only when the unit is on. This is recommended for  
devices that have a mechanical power switch that may  
be left in the “ON” position.  
NOTE: Many audio and video products go into a  
Standby mode when they are used with switched out-  
lets. This type of product may not operate properly  
when used with the switched outlet.  
No further installation or adjustment is needed, as the  
A-BUS jack on the DPR 2005 routes the signals in  
and out of the keypad to their proper destination for  
power, signal source and control. The output fed to  
the A-BUS jack is determined by the DPR 2005’s  
multiroom system and menus.  
The Unswitched AC Accessory Outlet cis  
powered as long as the DPR is plugged into a  
powered AC outlet.  
The DPR 2005 features a removable power cord  
that allows wires to be run in advance to a complex  
installation so that the unit itself need not be installed  
until it is ready for connection. When all needed  
connections have been made, connect the AC  
Power cord to the AC Power Cord Jack b.  
RS-232 Connections  
The DPR 2005 is equipped with an RS-232 Port a  
that may be used for two purposes. When the port is  
connected to a compatible, optional, external computer,  
keypad or control system the DPR 2005 is capable of  
bi-directional communications that enable the external  
system to control the DPR, and for the DPR to report  
status and handshake data back to the controller. Use  
of the RS-232 port for this type of control requires  
specific technical knowledge, and we recommend that  
any connection and programming for control be made  
by a trained installer or technician familiar with the  
equipment being used.  
The DPR 2005 draws significantly more current than  
other household devices, such as computers, that use  
removable power cords. For that reason, it is important  
that only the cord supplied with the unit (or a direct  
replacement of identical capacity) be used.  
Once the power cord is connected, you are almost  
ready to enjoy the DPR 2005’s incredible power  
and fidelity!  
18 INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS  
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION  
When all audio, video and system connections have  
been made, there are a few configuration adjustments  
that must be made. A few minutes spent to correctly  
configure and calibrate the unit will greatly add to your  
listening experience.  
may be placed on a rear wall, behind the listening  
position. As with the side speakers, rear surrounds  
should be located so that the bottom of the cabinet is  
at least two feet higher than the listeners’ ears. The  
speakers should be no more than six feet behind the  
rear of the seating area.  
Speaker Selection and Placement  
The placement of speakers in a multichannel home  
theater system can have a noticeable impact on the  
quality of sound reproduced.  
If dipole-type speakers are used on either the side or  
rear walls of the room, please note that if there are  
arrows on the speakers they should face the front of  
the room for the side speakers, or towards the center  
of the wall for the rear speakers.  
A) Front-Channel Speaker Installation With Direct-View  
TV Sets or Rear-Screen Projectors  
No matter which type or brand of speakers is used,  
the same model or brand of speaker should be used  
for the left front, center and right front speakers. This  
creates a seamless front soundstage and eliminates  
the possibility of distracting sonic disturbances that  
occur when a sound moves across mismatched  
front-channel speakers.  
Subwoofers produce nondirectional sound, so they  
may be placed almost anywhere in a room. Actual  
placement should be based on room size and shape  
and the type of subwoofer used. One method of find-  
ing the optimal location for a subwoofer is to begin by  
placing it in the front of the room, about six inches  
from a wall, or near the front corner of the room.  
Another method is to temporarily place the subwoofer  
at your normal listening position, and then walk  
around the room until you find a spot where the sub-  
woofer sounds best. Place the subwoofer in that spot.  
You should also follow the instructions of the sub-  
woofer’s manufacturer, or you may wish to experi-  
ment with the best location for a subwoofer in your  
listening room.  
Speaker Placement  
Depending on the type of center channel speaker in  
use and your viewing device, place the center speaker  
either directly above or below your TV, or in the center  
behind a perforated front-projection screen.  
Once the center channel speaker is installed, position  
the front left and front right speakers so that they are  
as far away from one another as the center channel  
speaker is from the preferred listening position. Ideally,  
the front channel speakers should be placed so that  
their tweeters are no more than 24" above or below  
the tweeter in the center channel speaker.  
B) Rear speaker mounting is an alternate location for  
5.1 systems. It is required for 7.1 operation.  
System Setup  
Once the speakers have been placed in the room  
and connected, the remaining steps in the setup  
process are to assign input and output connections,  
select a surround mode, program the DPR 2005’s  
bass management system for the type of speakers  
used in your system, set the delay times used by  
the surround sound processor and calibrate the  
output levels.  
Depending on the specifics of your room acoustics  
and the type of speakers in use, you may find that  
imaging is improved by moving the left front and right  
front speakers slightly forward of the center channel  
speaker. If possible, adjust all front loudspeakers  
so that they are aimed at ear height when you are  
seated in the listening position.  
You are now ready to power up the DPR 2005 to  
begin these final adjustments.  
Using these guidelines, you’ll find that it takes some  
experimentation to find the correct location for the front  
speakers in your particular installation. Don’t be afraid to  
move things around until the system sounds correct.  
Optimize your speakers so that audio transitions across  
the front of the room sound smooth, and that sounds  
from all speakers appear to arrive at the listening posi-  
tion at the same time (without delay from the center  
speaker compared to the left and right speakers).  
1. Make certain that the AC power cord is firmly  
inserted into the AC Power Cord Jack b  
and plug the cord into an unswitched AC outlet.  
To maintain the unit’s safety rating, DO NOT  
substitute the power cord for one with lower  
current capacity.  
The speakers should be located so that the bottom of  
the cabinet is at least two feet higher than the listeners’  
ears when the listeners are seated in the desired area.  
2. Open the Front-Panel Control Door @ by  
gently pushing in on the lower left or right corner.  
Locate the Main Power Switch A and push it  
in until it latches and the word “OFF” on the top  
of the switch disappears inside the front panel.  
Note that the Standby/On Indicator 1 will turn  
amber, indicating that the unit is in the Standby  
mode.  
When the DPR 2005 is used in 5.1-channel opera-  
tion, the preferred location for surround speakers is on  
the side walls of the room, at or slightly behind the lis-  
tening position. In a 7.1-channel system, both side  
surround and back surround speakers are required.  
The center of the speaker should face into the room.  
Rear surround speakers are required when a full 7.1-  
channel system is installed, and they may also be  
used in 5.1 channel systems as an alternative mount-  
ing position when it is not practical to place the main  
surround speakers on the sides of the room. Speakers

Using the On-Screen Display  
When making the following adjustments, you may find  
it easier to use the DPR 2005’s on-screen display  
system. These easy-to-read displays give you a clear  
picture of the current status of the unit and make it

To make this process as quick and as easy as possi-  
ble, we suggest that you use the full-OSD system with  
the on-screen menus, and step through each input.  
Once you have completed the settings for the first  
input, many settings may be duplicated for the remain-  
ing inputs. It is also a good idea to set the configura-  
tion data in the order these items are listed in the  
MASTERMENU, as some settings require a  
specific entry in a prior menu item.

cursor is next to the item you wish to adjust, and  
then press the Set Button q to adjust that item.  
The menus will remain on the screen for 20 seconds,  
and then they will “time-out” and disappear from the  
screen. The time-out may be increased to as much  
as 50 seconds by going to the ADVANCED  
SELECTmenu, and changing the item titled  
FULLOSDTIMEOUT.  
To view the on-screen menus, make certain you have  
made a connection from the Video Monitor Out  
Jack on the rear panel to the composite or S-  
Video input of your TV or projector. In order to view  
the DPR 2005’s displays, the correct video source  
must be selected on the video display. The on-screen  
menus are not available when a component video  
display is in use.  
Input Setup  
When the full-OSD system is in use, the menu selec-  
tions are not shown in the Upper or Lower Display  
Lines ^&. When the full-OSD menu system is  
used, OSDONwill appear in the Upper Display  
Line ^ to remind you that a video display must be  
used. When the semi-OSD system is used in conjunc-  
tion with the discrete configuration buttons, the on-  
screen display will show a single line of text with the  
current menu selection. That selection will also be  
shown in the Upper or Lower Display Lines ^&,  
depending on which parameter is being adjusted.  
The first step is to configure each input. Once an  
input is selected, the settings for the Digital Input,  
Component Video assignment and Surround Mode will  
“attach” themselves to that input and be stored in a  
nonvolatile memory. This means that once made, the  
selection of an input will automatically recall those  
settings. For that reason, the procedures described  
below must be repeated for each input source so that  
you have the opportunity to custom tailor each source  
to your specific listening requirements. However, once  
made they need not be changed again unless you  
need to alter a setting. The configuration settings for  
speaker “size” may be set once and applied to all  
inputs, or you may select a different speaker configura-  
tion for each input using the INDEPENDENT  
setting, as described on page 26.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: When viewing the on-screen  
menus using a CRT-based projector, plasma display or  
direct-view CRT monitor or television, it is important that  
they not be left on for an extended period of time. The  
constant display of a static image such as these menus  
may cause the image to be permanently “burned into”  
the projection tubes, plasma screen or CRT. This type of  
damage is not covered by the DPR 2005 warranty and  
may not be covered by the projector/TV set’s warranty.  
Setting the System Configuration Memory  
The DPR 2005 features an advanced memory system  
that enables you to establish different configurations  
for the speaker “size,” component video assignment,  
digital input, surround mode and crossover frequency  
for each input source. This flexibility enables you to

Some digital video input sources, such as a cable box  
or HDTV set-top may change between analog and  
digital outputs, depending on which channel is in use.  
The DPR 2005’s Auto Polling feature allows you to  
avoid losing the audio feed when this happens by per-  
mitting both analog and digital connections to the  
same source on the DPR. Digital audio is the default,  
and the unit will automatically switch to the analog  
audio if the digital audio stream stops.  
NOTE: A signal will be sent to this jack only when a  
digital input is selected. Digital signals will be passed  
through, regardless of their format and which digital  
input (optical or coax) they are fed from.

This menu also includes a setting to turn the unit’s  
upsampling feature on or off. In normal use, this  
feature is turned off, which means that digital sources  
are processed at their native sample rate. For  
example, a 48kHz digital source will be processed  
at 48kHz. However, the DPR 2005 allows you to  
upsample the incoming 48kHz signals to 96kHz  
for added resolution.  
Surround Setup  
The next step is to set the surround mode you wish  
to use with the input that was previously selected in  
the IN/OUTSETUPmenu. 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 2005, it is best to select  
Dolby Pro Logic II (Movie or Music) or Logic 7  
(Cinema or Music) 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  
multichannel program material, and it is unlikely that  
surround-encoded material will be used. Alternatively,  
the Logic 7 Music mode is a good choice for  
stereo-only source material. See page 32 for more  
information on available surround modes.  
As a reminder, to ensure that a signal feed is always  
available to the record output jacks, we recommend  
that an analog connection be made as a fallback for  
all digital sources. This is key with sources such as  
cable set-tops to ensure that a record feed will contin-  
ue in the event that the digital audio stream is not  
available when channels are changed.  
To take advantage of this feature, press the /¤  
Navigation Button o so that the cursor is next  
to the UPSAMPLING line and press the /›  
Navigation Button o so that ON is highlighted in  
reverse video. Note that this feature is only available

Speaker Optimizer  
The Speaker Optimization function is critical to ensure  
optimal performance of the DPR, as it tells the digital  
amplifier section how to best match its operation to your  
specific speakers. Note that this adjustment is electronic,  
not electrical, and unlike the “8-ohm/4-ohm” switches  
on older analog amplifiers, you do not need to turn the  
DPR off to change the setting. However, we do suggest  
that you do not have any program material playing  
through the DPR when the setting is changed.  
Audio Setup  
This menu allows you to configure the tone controls  
and to turn the upsampling on or off. If you do not  
wish to change any of those settings at this time, pro-

it is defined as the frequency which is either the lowest  
possible frequency the speaker is capable of repro-  
ducing, or the frequency at which sound is sent to the  
speaker’s internal low-frequency driver, as opposed to  
the midrange driver.  
When NONEis selected, no signals will be sent to

be made using the direct access controls on the  
remote, as shown below. That enables you to see the  
image while making the adjustment. However, you  
may also adjust it here using the menu system.  
5. Press the Navigation Button o until the lower  
line of the remote’s LCD display shows the number of  
speakers in your system. (Don’t count the subwoofer  
or speakers that are part of a multizone system.) For  
example, if you have left, center, right, surround left and  
right, and surround back left and right speakers for  
a full 7.1 system, press the button twice so that the  
bottom line reads 7 CHANNELS, as shown in  
Figure 11.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Listeners are often confused  
about the operation of the surround channels. While  
some assume that sound should always be coming  
from each speaker, most of the time there will be little  
or no sound in the surround channels. This is because  
they are only used when a movie director or sound  
mixer specifically places sound there to create ambi-  
ence, a special effect or to continue action from the  
front of the room to the rear. When the output levels  
are properly set, it is normal for surround speakers to  
operate only occasionally. Artificially increasing the  
volume to the rear speakers may destroy the illusion  
of an enveloping sound field that duplicates the way  
you hear sound in a movie theater or concert hall.

sources, see the Digital Audio Playback section below.  
DTS  
Surround Mode Selection  
DTS is a digital audio system capable of delivering 5.1  
or 6.1 discrete or matrix sound field reproduction.  
Although both DTS and Dolby Digital are digital, they  
use different methods of encoding the signals, and  
thus they require different decoding circuits to convert  
the digital signals back to analog.  
One of the most important features of the DPR 2005  
is its ability to reproduce a full multichannel sound field  
from digital sources, analog matrix surround-encoded  
programs and standard stereo programs.  
When the 6-Channel/8-Channel direct inputs are in  
use, there is no surround processing, as these inputs  
take the analog output signals from an optional, exter-  
nal DVD-Audio or SACD player, or another source  
device, and carry them straight through to the volume  
control.  
Selection of a surround mode is based on personal  
taste, as well as the type of program source material  
being used. For example, motion pictures or TV pro-  
grams bearing the logo of one of the major surround-  
encoding processes, such as Dolby Surround or DTS  
Stereo may be played in either the Dolby Digital,  
Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema, Dolby Pro Logic IIx Cinema,  
DTS Neo:6 Cinema, or Logic 7 Cinema surround  
modes, depending on the source material.  
DTS-encoded soundtracks are available on select  
DVD and LD discs, as well as on audio-only DTS  
discs. You may use any LD or CD player equipped  
with a digital output to play DTS-encoded discs with  
the DPR 2005. All that is required is to connect the  
player’s output to either an Optical or Coaxial Input  
on the rear panel or front panel HJ.  
To listen to a program in traditional two-channel  
stereo, using the front left and front right speakers  
only (plus the subwoofer, if installed and configured),  
In order to listen to DVDs encoded with DTS sound-  
tracks, the DVD player must be compatible with the  
DTS signal, which is indicated by the “DTS Digital Out”  
logo on the player’s front panel. Some early DVD play-  
ers were not able to play DTS-encoded DVDs. This  
does not indicate a problem with the DPR 2005, as  
those players cannot pass through the DTS signal. If  
you’re in doubt as to the capability of your DVD player  
to handle DTS discs, consult the player’s owner’s  
manual.

NOTE: Once a program has been encoded with matrix  
surround information, it retains the surround information  
as long as the program is available in stereo. Thus,  
movies with surround sound may be decoded via any  
of the analog surround modes such as Pro Logic II or  
IIx Cinema, Logic 7 Cinema or DTS Neo:6 Cinema,  
when they are broadcast via conventional TV stations,  
cable, pay-TV and satellite transmission. Also, a growing  
number of TV programs, sports broadcasts and radio  
dramas are also recorded in surround sound.

Digital Audio Playback  
Digital audio is a major advancement over analog sur-  
round processing systems. It delivers up to six discrete  
channels, and each channel reproduces full frequency  
range (20Hz to 20kHz) and offers dramatically improved  
dynamic range and significant improvements to signal-  
to-noise ratios. In addition, digital systems have the capa-  
bility to deliver an additional channel that is specifically  
devoted to low-frequency information. This is the “.1”  
channel referred to when you see these systems  
described as “5.1,” “6.1” or “7.1.” The bass channel is  
separate from the other channels, but since it is inten-  
tionally bandwidth-limited, sound designers have given it  
that unique designation.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Many DVD players have a default  
setting that does not pass through the DTS data, even  
though the machine is capable of doing so. If your  
DVD player has the “DTS Digital Out” logo but does  
not trigger DTS playback in the DPR 2005, change  
the player’s settings in the “Audio” or “Bitstream” con-  
figuration menu so that DTS playback is enabled. The  
method for doing this will vary with each player. In  
some cases, the proper menu choice will be “Original,”  
while in others it will be “DTS.” Consult the owner’s  
manual for your player to find the specific information  
to find the proper setting.  
Even when a program is not listed as carrying intentional  
surround information, you may find that the Pro Logic II,  
Logic 7 Enhanced or DTS Neo:6, VMAx and the Hall or  
Theater modes often deliver enveloping surround pre-  
sentations through the use of the natural information

FEATURES  
Dolby Digital  
Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low-frequency  
effects channel.  
Dolby Digital EX  
DTS 5.1  
Available when the receiver is configured for 6.1/7.1 channel operation, Dolby Digital EX is the latest version of Dolby Digital. When used with movies or other  
programs that have special encoding, Dolby Digital EX reproduces specially encoded soundtracks so that a full 6.1/7.1 soundfield is available. When the receiver is  
set for 6.1/7.1 operation and a Dolby Digital signal is present, the EX mode is automatically selected. Even if specific EX encoding is not available to provide the  
additional channel, the special algorithms will derive a 6.1/7.1 output.  
When the speaker configuration is set for 5.1-channel operation, the DTS 5.1 mode is available when DVD, audio-only music or laser discs encoded  
with DTS data are played. DTS 5.1 provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low-frequency channel.  
DTS-ES 6.1 Matrix  
DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete  
When the speaker configuration is set for 6.1/7.1 operation, playback of a DTS-encoded program source will automatically trigger the selection of one of the two  
DTS-ES modes. Newer discs with special DTS-ES discrete encoding will be decoded to provide six discrete, full-bandwidth channels plus a separate low-frequency  
channel. All other DTS discs will be decoded using the DTS-ES Matrix mode, which creates a 6.1-channel sound field from the original 5.1-channel soundtrack.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Movie  
Music  
Dolby Pro Logic II decodes full-range, discrete, left, center right, right surround and left surround channels from either matrix surround-encoded  
programs or conventional stereo sources when an analog input is in use. The Dolby Pro Logic II Movie mode is optimized for movie soundtracks,  
while the Pro Logic II Music mode should be used with musical selections. The Pro Logic mode re-creates original Pro Logic processing for  
those who prefer that presentation.  
Pro Logic  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
Music  
Movie  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx is the latest extension of Dolby Pro Logic II technology that creates a discrete 6.1 and 7.1 sound field from matrix surround or two-channel  
stereo sources in systems configured for surround back speakers. Both Movie and Music versions of Pro Logic IIx are available. These modes may also be applied  
to a six-channel source connected to the 8-Channel Direct Inputs so that the sound field is enhanced by adding back surround channels, as well as to enable  
the MAIN DOWNMIX option in the multiroom system so that a six channel direct input may be used as a source for the remote room.  
Logic 7 Cinema  
Logic 7 Music  
Logic 7 Enhance  
Exclusive to Harman Kardon for receivers, Logic 7 is an advanced mode that extracts the maximum surround information from either surround-encoded programs  
or conventional stereo material. When your system has been configured for use with Surround Back Speakers (see page 25), you may choose between either  
7.1 or 5.1 versions of the Logic 7 modes, while only the 5.1 versions are available when there are no Surround Back Speakers. The Logic 7 C (or Cinema) mode  
should be used with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding. Logic 7 C delivers increased center channel intelligibility, and more accurate  
placement of sounds with fades and pans that are much smoother and more realistic than with other decoding techniques. The Logic 7 M or Music mode should be  
used with analog or PCM stereo sources. Logic 7 M enhances the listening experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater rear ambience. Both  
Logic 7 modes also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer (if installed and configured) to deliver maximum bass impact. The Logic 7 E (or Enhance)  
mode, available only when the 5.1 option is chosen, is an extension of the Logic 7 modes that is primarily used with musical programs. Logic 7 adds additional bass  
enhancement that circulates low frequencies in the 40Hz to 120Hz range to the front and surround speakers to deliver a less localized soundstage that appears  
broader and wider than when the subwoofer is the sole source of bass energy.  
DTS Neo:6 Cinema  
DTS Neo:6 Music  
These two modes are available with analog sources playing to create a three-channel, five-channel or six-channel surround presentation from matrix-encoded  
or stereo sources. Select the Cinema version of Neo:6 when a program with matrix surround encoding is present. Select the Music version of Neo:6  
for optimal processing when a nonencoded, two-channel stereo program is being played.  
Theater  
The Theater mode creates a sound field that resembles the acoustic feeling of a standard live performance theater.  
The two Hall modes create sound fields that resemble a small- (Hall 1) or medium-sized (Hall 2) concert hall.  
Hall 1, Hall 2  
VMAx Near  
VMAx Far  
When only the two front-channel loudspeakers are used, VMAx delivers a three-dimensional sound space with the illusion of “phantom speakers” at the center  
and surround positions. The VMAx N, or “Near Field” mode should be selected when your listening position is less than five feet from the speakers. The VMAx F, or  
“Far Field,” mode should be selected when your listening position is greater than five feet from the speakers.  
Dolby Virtual Speaker  
Reference  
Wide  
Dolby Virtual Speaker uses advanced technology to simulate the sonic signature of a speaker location even when there is no speaker physically present in that  
location. The Reference (“REF”) mode activates the front left/right or front left/center/right speakers to simulate a 5.1 presentation with accurate localization.  
The Wide mode virtualizes additional front-channel speakers to create a wider image and a more enveloping sound field. It is available no matter how many  
speakers are present.  
5-Channel Stereo  
7-Channel Stereo  
These modes take advantage of multiple speakers to place a stereo signal at both the front and back of a room. They places the same signal at the front-left and  
surround-left, and front-right and surround-right speakers. The center channel is fed a summed mono mix of the in-phase material of the left and right channels.  
Surround  
This mode turns off all surround processing and presents the pure left- and right-channel presentation of two-channel stereo programs.  
Off (Stereo)  
Dolby Headphone  
Dolby Headphone enables ordinary stereo headphones to portray the sound of a five-speaker surround-playback system. The DH1 mode creates  
headphone presentation that resembles a small, well-damped room and is appropriate for use with both movies and music-only recordings.  
The DH2 mode creates a more acoustically live room particularly suited to music listening. The DH3 mode creates a larger room, more like a  
concert hall or movie theater.

32 OPERATION  
OPERATION  
Selecting a Digital Source  
The first number in the display message indicates how  
many discrete front-channel signals are present.  
It is always a good idea to check the channel data to  
make certain that it matches the audio logo informa-  
tion shown on the back of a DVD package. In some  
cases, you will see an indication for “2/0/0” even  
when the disc contains a full 5.1, or 3/2/.1, signal.  
When this happens, check the audio output settings  
for your DVD player or the audio menu selections for  
the specific disc being played to be sure that the  
player is sending the correct signal to the DPR.  
To utilize either digital mode, you must have properly  
connected a digital source to the DPR 2005. Connect  
the digital outputs from DVD players, HDTV receivers,  
satellite systems or CD players to the Optical or  
Coaxial Inputs fl‡HJ. In order to provide a  
backup signal and a source for analog stereo recording,  
the analog outputs provided on digital source equipment  
should also be connected to their appropriate inputs on  
the DPR 2005 rear panel (e.g., connect the analog  
stereo audio output from a DVD to the DVD Inputs ¶  
on the rear panel when you connect the source’s  
digital outputs).  
• A “3” tells you that separate front left, center and  
front right signals are available. This will be displayed  
for Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 programs.  
• A “2” tells you that separate front left and right sig-  
nals are available, but there is no discrete center  
channel signal. This will be displayed for Dolby  
Digital bitstreams that have stereo program material.  
An UNLOCKmessage may appear in the Lower  
Display Line &. This is your indication that the digi-  
tal audio data stream has been interrupted or is no  
longer present. When that occurs, the unit’s digital sig-  
nal processor has no signal to lock onto, and is thus  
“unlocked.” You may see this message when a DVD is  
first started until the stream is playing and the proces-  
sor determines which mode to apply; or any time the  
data stream is stopped or paused, such as when the  
menus of some discs are displayed or when the player  
is switching between the different sections of a disc.  
You may also see the message when a satellite  
receiver, cable set-top or HDTV tuner is in use if the  
digital audio is temporarily interrupted when channels  
are changed or when a cable box switches from a  
channel with a digital data stream to a channel with  
analog audio only. The UNLOCKmessage is nor-  
mal, and does not indicate any problem with your  
receiver. Rather, it tells you that the incoming data has  
simply been paused or is not present for a variety of  
possible reasons.  
• A “1” tells you that there is only a mono channel  
available in the Dolby Digital bitstream.  
The middle number in the display message indicates  
how many discrete surround channel signals are present.  
If you have not already configured an input for a digital  
source using the on-screen menus as shown on  
page 21, first select the desired input using the  
remote or front-panel controls, as outlined in this man-

panel, choose any of the OPTICALor COAX-  
IALinputs, as they appear in the Upper Display  
Line ^ or on-screen display. When the digital source  
is playing, the DPR 2005 will automatically detect  
which type of digital data stream is being decoded and  
display that information in the Upper Display Line ^.  
• A “1” tells you that there is only a single, surround-  
encoded surround channel. This will appear for  
Dolby Digital bitstreams that have matrix encoding.  
• A “0” indicates that there is no surround channel  
information. This will be displayed for two-channel  
stereo programs.  
When both a digital and an analog connection are  
made between a source device and the DPR, the digi-  
tal input is the default. If the digital stream is not pres-  
ent or is interrupted, the unit will automatically switch  
over to the analog inputs for the selected source.  
The last number indicates whether there is a discrete  
low-frequency effects (LFE) channel. This is the “.1” in  
the common abbreviation of “5.1” sound and it is a  
special channel that contains only bass frequencies.  
PCM Playback  
PCM is the abbreviation for Pulse Code Modulation,  
which is the type of digital signal used for standard CD  
playback, and other non-Dolby Digital and non-DTS  
digital sources such as Mini-Disc. When a PCM signal  
is detected, the Lower Display Line & will briefly  
show a message with the letters PCM, in addition to a  
readout of the sampling frequency of the digital signal.  
Digital Bitstream and Surround Mode Indications  
When a digital source is playing, the DPR senses the  
type of bitstream data that is present. Using this infor-  
mation, the correct surround mode will automatically  
be selected. For example, DTS bitstreams will cause  
the unit to switch to DTS decoding, and Dolby Digital  
bitstreams will enable Dolby Digital decoding. When  
the unit senses PCM data from CDs or LDs, you may  
select any of the standard surround modes, such as  
Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7. Since the range of  
available surround modes is dependent on the type  
of digital data that is present, the DPR 2005 shows  
you what type of signal is present. This will help you  
to understand the choice of modes.  
• A “.1” tells you that an LFE channel is present. This  
will be displayed for Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1  
programs, as available.  
• A “0” indicates that there is no LFE channel infor-  
mation available. However, even when there is no  
dedicated LFE channel, low-frequency sound will be  
present at the subwoofer output when the speaker  
configuration is set to show the presence of a  
subwoofer.  
In most cases, this will be PCM 44.1kHz or  
PCM 48kHz, though in the case of specially  
mastered, high-resolution audio discs, you will see a  
PCM 96kHz indication. Note that the sampling rate  
displayed is that of the incoming digital signal, and not  
the upsampled rate that may be applied to PCM sources  
when Dolby Pro Logic, Pro Logic II or Pro Logic IIx  
processing is applied, as shown on page 22.  
• The information in the right side of the display will  
tell you if the digital audio data contains a special  
flag signal that will automatically activate the appro-  
priate 6.1 or 7.1 mode. This will be shown as  
EX-ON or EX-OFF for Dolby Digital bitstreams and  
ES-ON or ES-OFF for DTS bitstreams.  
When a digital source is first detected, the DPR 2005  
will display a message to indicate the type of bitstream  
being received. This message will appear shortly after  
an input or surround mode is changed, and will remain  
in the Lower Display Line & for about five seconds  
before that portion of the display returns to the normal  
surround mode indication.  
During PCM playback you may select any surround  
mode except one of the Dolby Digital or DTS/DTS-ES  
modes. However, when a CD with HDCD encoding is  
being played you must select the Surround Off (stereo)  
mode to take advantage of the HDCD process.  
When Dolby Digital 3/2/.1 or DTS or DTS-ES signals  
are being played, the DPR will automatically switch to  
the proper surround mode, and no other processing  
may be selected. When a Dolby Digital signal with a  
3/1/0 or 2/0/0 signal is detected, you may select any  
of the Dolby surround modes.  
HDCD Playback  
High Definition Compatible Digital,® or HDCD, discs are  
recorded using a 20-bit encoding and other propri-  
etary processing for the ultimate in CD listening. When

HDCD playback is limited to two-channel stereo only.  
NOTES:  
The letters used by the Speaker/Channel Input  
Indicators % also flash to indicate when a bitstream  
has been interrupted. This will happen when a digital  
input source is selected before the playback starts, or  
when a digital source such as a DVD is paused. The  
flashing indicators, along with the UNLOCKmes-  
sage in the Lower Display Line &, remind you  
that the playback has stopped due to the absence  
of a digital signal and not through any fault of the  
DPR 2005. This is normal, and the digital playback  
will resume once the playback is started again.  
• The DPR 2005 is only capable of playing signals in  
the MP3 (MPEG 1/Layer 3) format. It is not com-  
patible with other computer audio codecs.  
• The digital audio input signal may be either optical  
or coaxial, but the signal must be in the S/P-DIF  
format. Direct connection of USB or serial data  
outputs is not possible, even though the signals  
are in the MP3 format. If you have any questions  
about the data output format from your computer  
or a sound card, check with the device’s owner’s  
manual.  
Speaker/Channel Indicators  
In addition to the bitstream indicators, the DPR 2005  
features channel-input indicators that show how many  
channels of digital information are being received  
and/or whether the digital signal is interrupted (see  
Figure 15).  
Night Mode  
A special feature of Dolby Digital is the Night mode,  
which enables specially encoded Dolby Digital input  
sources to be played back with full digital intelligibility  
while reducing the minimum peak level by 1/4 to 1/3.  
This prevents abruptly loud transitions from disturbing  
others, without reducing the impact of the digital  
source. The Night mode is available only when Dolby  
Digital signals with special data are being played.  
• If your computer or sound card’s digital output is not  
capable of direct connection to the DPR 2005, you  
may use an optional, external transcoder to convert  
the USB output of a computer to a format compati-  
ble with the DPR.  
• Due to the wide variation in MP3 formats and  
encoding speeds, it is possible that the DPR 2005  
may not be compatible with all MP3 input signals.  
Some may produce unacceptable results or may  
not be decoded. This is not a fault of either the  
computer or the DPR 2005, but rather a by-product  
of the unpredictable nature of MP3 playback.

converts the stereo mini plug commonly used for  
computer audio connections to the left/right RCA  
jacks used on the DPR. Connecting your computer  
to the DPR will enable you to take advantage of

nels; depending on the program material, its method of  
transmission and the way in which it was encoded.  
When a digital signal is playing, the letters in these  
indicators will light in response to the signal being  
received. It is important to note that although Dolby  
Digital, for example, is referred to as a “5.1” system,  
not all Dolby Digital DVDs or programs are encoded  
for 5.1. Thus, it is sometimes normal for a DVD with a  
Dolby Digital soundtrack to trigger only the “Land “R”  
indicators.  
The Night mode may also be selected to always be on  
at either level of compression using the options in the  
DOLBYSURRmenu. See page 23 for informa-  
tion on using the menus to set this option.  
MP3 Audio Playback  
The DPR 2005 is one of the few receivers equipped  
for onboard decoding for the MP3 audio format used  
by computers and portable audio devices. By offering  
MP3 decoding, the DPR 2005 is able to deliver pre-  
cise conversion of the digital signals to an analog out-  
put, along with the benefits of listening to the MP3  
audio through the DPR 2005’s high-power amplifier  
and the speakers from your surround system, rather  
than the smaller speakers and low-powered amplifiers  
typically used with computers.  
NOTE: Many DVD discs are recorded with both “5.1”  
and “2.0,” and Dolby Digital and DTS versions of the  
same soundtrack. When playing a DVD, always be  
certain to check the type of material on the disc. Most  
discs show this information using icons on the back of  
the disc jacket. When a disc offers multiple soundtrack  
choices, you may have to make some adjustments to  
your DVD player (usually with the “Audio Select” button  
or in a menu screen on the disc) to send a full 5.1  
feed to the DPR 2005 or to select between Dolby  
Digital or DTS. It is also possible for the type of signal  
feed to change during the course of a DVD’s play-  
back. In some cases, the previews or special material  
will be recorded in 2.0 audio, while the main feature is  
IMPORTANT NOTES ON DIGITAL PLAYBACK:  
• When the digital playback source is stopped, or  
in a pause, fast forward or search mode, digital

• Some source devices, particularly cable set-top  
boxes, will switch back and forth between digital and  
analog audio outputs, depending on the channel  
being watched. To avoid losing sound with this type  
of product, it is recommended that you connect  
both the digital and analog audio outputs of the  
source to the DPR 2005, with the digital audio input  
set as the default following the steps shown on

stream and when it is interrupted the sound will  
mute briefly and possibly display an UNLOCK  
message while it switches to the analog audio input.  
This switching is not a fault of either the DPR or the  
cable box, as it is caused by the use of different

Semi-OSD Settings  
Turn-On Volume Level  
The semi-OSD system places one-line messages at  
the lower third of the video display screen whenever  
the Volume, Input Source, Surround mode, tuner  
frequency or any of the configuration settings is  
changed. The semi-OSD system is helpful in that it  
enables you to have feedback on any control changes  
or remote commands using the video display when it  
is difficult to view the front-panel displays. However,  
you may also prefer to turn these displays off perma-  
nently. You may also want to adjust the length of time  
the displays remain on the screen. Both of those  
options are possible with the DPR 2005.  
As is the case with most audio/video receivers, when  
the DPR 2005 is turned on, it will always return to  
the volume setting in effect when the unit was turned  
off. However, you may prefer to always have the  
DPR 2005 turn on at a specific setting, regardless of  
what was last in use when the unit was turned off. To  
change the default condition so that the same volume  
level is always used at turn-on, you will need to make  
an adjustment in the ADVANCEDSELECT  
menu. To start the adjustment, press the OSD Button

Full-OSD Time-Out Adjustment  
The FULLOSDmenu system is used to simplify  
the setup and adjustment of the DPR 2005 by using a  
series of on-screen menus. The factory default setting  
for these menus leaves them on the screen for 20  
seconds after a period of inactivity before they disap-  
pear from the screen (Time-Out). Time-Out is a safety  
measure to prevent image retention of the menu text  
in your monitor or projector, which might happen if it  
were left on indefinitely. However, some viewers may  
prefer a slightly longer or shorter period before the  
on-screen display disappears.  
To change the full-OSD Time-Out, you will need  
to make an adjustment in the ADVANCED  
SELECTmenu (Figure 16). To start the adjust-  
ment, press the OSD Button U to bring the

38 ADVANCED FEATURES  
MULTIROOM OPERATION  
The DPR 2005 is fully equipped to operate as the  
control center for a complete multiroom system that is  
capable of sending one source to a second zone in  
the house while a separate source is listened to in the  
main room. In addition to providing for control over the  
selection of the remote source and its volume, the  
DPR 2005 offers a comprehensive range of options  
for powering the speakers in the second zone.

RS-232 Control  
The DPR 2005 is rare among A/V receivers in that it  
provides the capability for full bidirectional remote con-  
trol with confirmation control acknowledgement from  
compatible computers or specialized remote control  
systems. RS-232 programming requires specialized  
programming knowledge and for that reason we rec-  
ommend that it only be done by qualified installers.

remote control, visit the Harman Kardon Web site at

nal power amplifiers that may be matched to the  
specifics of the installation.

Installation  
Surround Amplifier Channel Assignment  
Although simple remote room systems may be  
installed by the average do-it-yourself hobbyist,  
the complexity of many multizone/multiroom systems  
involves running wires inside walls where the services of  
a specially trained installer may be required. Regard-  
less of who does the work, please remember that  
local building codes govern in-wall electrical work,  
including proper specification of any wiring used and  
the way in which it is connected. You are responsible  
for making certain that all multiroom installation work is  
done properly and in compliance with all applicable  
codes and regulations.  
The DPR 2005 is equipped with seven full-power  
amplifier channels to allow for complete 7.1-channel  
operation without the need for additional external  
amplifiers. However, in some installations you may wish  
to use the traditional 5.1-channel configuration for the  
main listening room, which allows the surround back  
left/right amplifier channels to be used to power  
speakers placed in a remote zone location.

CONFIGURING THE REMOTE  
The DPR 2005 remote is factory-programmed for  
all functions needed to operate the unit. In addition,  
it is also preprogrammed to operate most recent  
Harman Kardon DVD players and changers, CD  
players and changers, CD recorders and cassette  
decks. The codes for other brand devices may be  
programmed into the DPR 2005 remote using its  
extensive library of remote codes or a head-to-head  
learning process for codes not in the internal library.  
8. After you press and release the number key,  
watch the device being programmed to see  
whether it turns off. As shown in the instructions  
that will appear on the next menu screen  
(Figure 24), if your device has turned off, press  
the Set Button q, and then skip to Step 10. If  
the unit does not turn off, proceed to the next step.

Programming Remote Codes  
9. If the device being programmed into the DPR  
remote does not turn off after you have pressed  
the “1” Button k, repeat Steps 7 and 8 by  
pressing the available numeric keys shown until  
the device turns off. If the device still does not turn  
off after all choices have been tried, or if there is  
only one number key shown as available to try,  
the code for this specific device is not in the DPR  
remote library under that brand name. If that is the  
case, press the Clear Button j to exit the  
manual programming mode. Remember that the  
codes may still be stored in the DPR remote’s  
library under another brand, and you can have the  
remote control search for them by following the  
instructions below for automatic programming. You  
may also manually “learn” the codes for most  
devices into the DPR remote by following the  
Learning Commands instructions on page 42.  
Thanks to the remote’s advanced technology and  
two-line LCD display, it is no longer necessary to  
look up cumbersome codes when programming the  
remote; following the steps outlined below, you simply  
search for the brand name from the remote’s memory.  
We recommend that you first try the preprogrammed  
code entry method. If that procedure is not successful,  
then try the code-learning method.

The easiest way to program the remote for operation  
with a source device from another brand is to follow  
these steps:  
S E L E C T B R A N D  
R C A  
1. Turn on the power to the device you wish to pro-  
gram into the DPR remote. This is important, as in a  
later step you will need to see whether the device  
turns off to determine whether the remote has been  
programmed for the proper remote codes.  
Figure 22  
NOTE: If the brand name for the product you wish to  
program does not appear in the list, the codes may  
still be available, as some manufacturers share codes.  
If the desired brand is not listed, press the Clear  
Button j to exit the programming process,  
and skip to the instructions shown on page 42 for the  
“Automatic” method of programming the remote. If  
desired, or if the codes for your brand are not part  
of the remote’s library at all, you may still use the  
remote to program most infrared-controlled products  
by “learning” the commands from the product’s  
original remote into the DPR remote. The instructions  
for Learning Commands are on page 42.  
10. When the device being programmed does turn off  
after a numeric key has been pressed, you must  
press the Set Button q within five seconds to  
enter the setting into the remote’s memory. After  
you press the Set Button q, the top line of the  
LCD display will read SAVING… and then the  
word SAVED will flash four times in the center of  
the bottom line.

(Figure 19), will appear in the LCD display and  
the Set Button q will remain illuminated  
in red. Press the Set Button q to begin  
the process of selecting a device and locating  
the proper remote codes.  
7. The next step is important, as it determines which  
codes will operate the source device or display.  
Point the DPR remote at the device being pro-  
grammed and, following the instructions shown in  
the remote’s LCD Information Display c,  
press and release the Numeric Keys k shown  
on the menu screen (Figure 23) one at a time,  
starting with the “1” button. After you press the  
“1” Button k, the remote’s LCD screen will  
briefly go blank as the code is being transmitted,  
NOTE: Some brands share a common remote control  
code for “Power Off” for many models. For that reason  
it is possible that even though the remote appears to  
be properly programmed, you may find that some but-  
tons do not appear to issue the correct command. If  
this is the case, repeat the procedure outlined above,  
but if more than one numeric key selection is suggested  
in Step 7, try a different number to see whether the  
remote operates correctly. Although the DPR remote is  
preprogrammed with an extensive library of codes for  
many major brands, it is also possible that you may  
have attempted to program a product that is too new  
or too old, and thus not all of its commands will be in  
the code library. You may fill in the codes for any button

In addition to manual code selection using the brand  
name list, it is also possible to automatically search  
through all the codes that are stored in the DPR remote’s  
library to see whether a device will respond even if it  
is not listed among the brands that appear when you  
program the remote manually. To automatically search  
through the codes that are available for a specific device  
type (e.g., DVD, VCR), follow these steps:  
press the Navigation Button o again to  
send another group of codes. If the device being  
programmed has turned off, skip to Step 9.  
12. When pressing one of the numeric keys in Step  
10 or 11 causes the device being programmed  
to turn back on, follow the instructions shown in  
Figure 26 and press the Set Button q within  
five seconds of the device turning on. After you  
press the Set button, the top line of the LCD dis-  
play will read SAVING… and then the word

Channel punch-through allows the Channel Up/Down

Punch-Through Configuration  
Punch-through is a capability of the remote that  
allows the Volume controls, Channel Up/Down buttons  
or Transport keys (Play, Stop, Record, Fast Forward  
and Reverse, and Skip Up/Down) to link to a different  
device. For example, if your TV, cable box or satellite  
receiver is connected through the DPR 2005, you will  
most likely want to use the DPR 2005’s volume con-  
trol commands even when the remote has been set  
to issue all other commands for the video device.  
“Punch-through” enables you to easily program the  
remote to do this.

function for DVD players. Of course, remember that  
you will first have to learn the codes for that function  
into the Tone button, following the instructions shown  
on page 42.

programmed, or previously renamed title in the  
remote’s memory, you will see that name on

• The remote has a built-in backlight that may be  
activated by pressing the Light Button  
P. This  
button is made from a special “glow” material so  
that it is easier to find in dark rooms. This glow  
feature does not consume any electricity, but the  
glow will fade when the remote is kept in a dark  
location for an extended period of time. The “glow”  
feature may be restored by placing the remote in  
normal room light for a few hours.

• The LCD display will remain on for ten seconds  
after a key is pressed and then turn off to conserve  
battery life.  
• When the remote is being programmed, it will auto-  
matically time-out if no button is pressed within a  
thirty-second period. The message shown in Figure  
80 will appear briefly, and the remote will then exit  
the feature being programmed and any data entered  
will be lost.  
• When any button is held for more than thirty  
seconds, the LCD will turn off and the remote will  
stop transmitting the codes to conserve battery life.

unit’s operation. If the system still malfunctions, a  
system reset may clear the problem.  
NOTE: Resetting the processor will erase any configu-  
ration settings you have made for speakers, output  
levels, surround modes, digital input assignments as  
well as the tuner presets. After a reset the unit will be  
returned to the factory presets, and all settings for  
these items must be reentered.
