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.

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,

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.

will receive the output selected for a multiroom system.

To change the output fed to these terminals from

the default of the Surround Back speakers to the

Multiroom Output, you must change a setting in the

MULTI-ROOM SETUP menu of the OSD

system. See page 39 for more information on config-

uring this speaker output. In normal surround system

use, the brown and black terminals are the surround

back left channel positive (+) and negative (–) con-

nections and the tan and black terminals are the sur-

round back right positive (+) and negative (–) termi-

nals. For multiroom use, connect the brown and black

SBL terminals to the red and black connections on

the left remote zone speaker and connect the tan and

black SBR terminals to the red and black terminals on

300-ohm-to-75-ohm adapter to make the

round-right speakers, even if the speakers are a

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 ﬁ.

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 ⁄

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.

matching digital input connections on a CD-R or

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 ﬂbeing 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.

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!

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

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

custom-tailor the way in which you listen to each

The DPR 2005 has two on-screen display modes,

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.

menu, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o

so that the ■ cursor is next to the BACK TO

MAIN MENU line and press the Set Button q.

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

for the Dolby Pro Logic II and Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Movie and Music and Dolby Pro Logic modes.

When all needed adjustments have been made, press

the Navigation Button o until the ■ cursor is

next to BACKTOMASTERMENUto con-

tinue with the system configuration.

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-

ceed to the next menu screen. However, to make

configuration changes to those parameters, make cer-

tain that the MASTER MENU is on the screen

For digital program material, the DPR will always

examine the data stream and automatically select a

Before making this adjustment you will need to find the

and it is usually shown in the owner’s manual that came

with your speakers. If you cannot find the information for

your speakers, consult the manufacturer’s Web site or

option is selected, a full-range signal will be sent

to the front left/right “main” speakers, and the sub-

woofer will receive LFE information and the bass

When all initial speaker “size” settings have been

made, you now have the option to take advantage of

the DPR 2005’s Quadruple Crossover system, which

allows individual crossover settings to be made for

each speaker group. The low-frequency crossover

point is set by the design of your speakers. Depending

on the design and driver complement of your speakers,

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

the center channel output. The receiver will operate in

a “phantom” center channel mode and center channel

information will be sent to the left and right front chan-

nel outputs. When only front left and right speakers are

used, with no center or surround speakers, VMAx is a

good alternative mode.

When SMALL is selected, the system will adjust so

that the full complement of 6.1/7.1 modes are available,

and low-frequency information below the crossover

point will be sent to the subwoofer output. If you

choose this option and there is no subwoofer connect-

ed, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from

the surround back channels.

Before making any changes to the settings for

In addition to adjusting the delay time for each individ-

ual speaker position, the DPR 2005 is among the few

receivers that allows you to adjust the delay for the

combined output of all speakers as a group. This fea-

ture is called A/V Sync Delay; it allows you to com-

pensate for delays to the video image that may be

caused by the processing in products such as digital

video displays, video scalers, digital cable or satellite

systems, or personal video recorders. With proper

adjustment of the setting for A/V Sync Delay, you can

eliminate the loss of lip sync that may be caused by

digital video applications.

the individual crossover point setting may only be set

made to the “Large” or “Small” settings for the speaker

groups attached to any input. The reason is that while

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

of an enveloping sound field that duplicates the way

you hear sound in a movie theater or concert hall.

selected. For more information on selecting digital

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 ﬂ‡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.

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

present in all stereo recordings.

Surround modes may be changed at any time by

using either the front panel or remote control. To

select a new surround mode from the front panel, first

press the Surround Mode Group Selector Button

3 until the desired major surround mode group such

as Dolby, DTS or Logic 7 is selected. Next, press the

Surround Mode Selector Button 4 to choose the

specific individual surround mode.

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 ﬁso 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.

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

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.

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

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.

computer audio connections to the left/right RCA

jacks used on the DPR. Connecting your computer

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 “L” and “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

audio data will momentarily stop, and the channel

sage may appear. This is normal and does not indi-

cate a problem with either the DPR 2005 or the

playback as soon as the data is available.

To take advantage of the DPR 2005’s MP3 capabili-

OPERATION

• 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

page 21. The DPR will monitor the digital data

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

audio technologies on different channels by the

cable company or program supplier.

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

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

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.

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

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.
