System Configuration

Once the speakers have been placed in the room
and connected, the remaining steps are to pro-
gram the system configuration memories.

First Turn On

You are now ready to power up the DPR to begin
these final adjustments.
1. Make certain that the AC power cord is firmly
inserted in to the AC Power cord Recepticle
and plug the cord into an unswitched AC
outlet. To maintian the unit's safety rating,
DO NOT substitute the power cord for one
with lower current capacity.
2. Press the Main Power Switch
latches and the word "OFF" on the top of the
switch disappears inside the front panel. Note
that the Power Indicator will turn amber,
indicating that the unit is in the Standby mode.
3. Remove the protective plastic film from the
main front-panel lens. If left in place, the film
may affect the performance of your remote
control.
4. Install the four supplied AAA batteries in the
remote as shown. Be certain to follow the (+)
and (–) polarity indicators that are on the top
of the battery compartment.
5. Turn the DPR on either by pressing the System
Power Control or the Input Source
Selector on the front panel, or via the
remote by pressing the Power On Button
, AVR Selector or any of the Input
Selectors on the remote. The Power
Indicator will turn blue to confirm that the
unit is on, and the Main Information
Display will also light up.
NOTE: After pressing one of the Input Selector
buttons to turn the unit on, press the AVR
Selector to have the remote control the DPR
functions.

Using the On-Screen Display

When making the following adjustments, you
may find them easier to make via the unit's on-
screen display system. These easy-to-read dis-
plays give you a clear picture of the current status
of the unit and facilitate speaker, delay, input or
digital selection you are making.
To view the on-screen displays, make certain you
have made a connection from the Video
Monitor Out jack on the rear panel to the
20 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
composite or S-Video input of your TV or projec-
tor. In order to view the DPR's displays, the cor-
rect video input must be selected on your video
display. Note that the on-screen menus are not
available when a component video display is in
use.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When viewing the on-screen
menus using a CRT-based projector, plasma display
or any direct-view CRT monitor or television, it is
important that they not be left on the screen for an
extended period of time. As with any video display,
but particularly with projectors, constant display of
a static image such as these menus or video game
images may cause the image to be permanently
in until it
"burned into" the CRT. This type of damage is not
covered by the DPR warranty and may not be cov-
ered by the projector TV set's warranty.
The DPR has two on-screen display modes,
"Semi-OSD" and "Full-OSD." When making con-
figuration adjustments, it is recommended that
the Full-OSD mode be used. This will place a
complete status report or option listing on the
screen, making it easier to view the available
options and make the settings on the screen. The
Semi-OSD mode uses one-line displays only.
Note that when the full OSD system is in use, the
menu selections are not shown in the Infor-
mation Display
system is used, OSD ON will appear in the Upper
Display Line .
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 Line .
The full OSD system can always be turned on or
off by pressing the OSD button
button is pressed the
(Figure 1) will appear, and adjustments are made
from the individual menus. Note that the menus
will remain on the screen for 20 seconds after the
latest action was made on the screen menu, 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
menu, and changing the item titled
The semi-OSD system is also available as a sys-
tem default, although it may be turned off by
using the
page 40). With the semi-OSD system, you may
make adjustments directly, by pressing the but-
tons on the front panel or remote control for the
specific parameter to be adjusted. For example, to
change the digital input for any of the sources,
press the Digital Select Button
then any of the Selector buttons
on the front panel or remote.

System Setup

The DPR 1005 features an advanced memory sys-
tem that enables you to establish different confi-
gurations for speaker "size", component video
assignment, digital input, surround mode and
crossover frequency for each input source. To
ease the speaker setting, the same speaker set-
ting can also be made for all inputs. This flexibility
enables you to custom tailor the way in which
you listen to each source and have the DPR mem-
orize them. This means, for example, that you
may associate different surround modes and ana-
log or digital inputs with different sources, or set
different speaker configurations with the result-
ant changes to the bass management system or
the use of the center speaker and/or the
Subwoofer. Once these settings are made, they
will automatically be recalled whenever you

The factory default settings for the DPR have all
inputs configured for an analog audio input
except for the DVD and Video 3 input, where the
Coaxial Digital Input
Input 1
cessing system is used for the first time for any
input, the speaker settings will automatically
default to "Small" at all positions with the sub-
woofer set to "LFE." The default setting for the

surround modes is "Logic 7 Music" for all analog
sources, although Dolby Digital or DTS will auto-
matically be selected as appropriate when a
source with digital encoding is in use.
Before using the unit, you will probably want to
change the settings for most inputs so that they
are properly configured to reflect the use of digi-
tal or analog inputs and the surround mode asso-
ciated with the input. Remember that since the
DPR memorizes the settings for each input indi-
.
vidually, you will need to make these adjustments
for each input used. However, once they are
made, further adjustment is only required when

system components are changed.
To make this process as quick and as easy as pos-
sible, we suggest that you use the full-OSD sys-
tem with the on-screen menus, and step through
each input.

Input Setup

/ The first step in configuring the DPR is to select
an input, i.e. to associate an analog or digital
input with each input source in use, e.g. CD or
DVD. Note that once an input is selected, all set-
and Optical Digital
are the default. Once the DSP pro-
