Advanced Features

The DPR is equipped with a number of advanced
features that add extra flexibility to the unit's
operation. While it is not necessary to use these
features to operate the unit, they provide addi-
tional options that you may wish to use.
Surround Amplifier Channel
Assignment
The DPR 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.
If you wish to use the Surround Back channel
amplifiers to power the remote zone, you must
change a setting in the
menu. To make that change, first call up the
menu system by pressing the OSD Button
