Surround Setup - Harman Kardon DPR 1005 Owner's Manual

System Configuration
Since the crossover point commonly used in the
creation of the LFE channel is 120Hz, we
recommend that you select the speaker group
whose crossover point is closest to 120Hz. To do
this, press the Navigation Button
/
until the cursor is next to the

/
name of the speaker group with the desired
crossover frequency appears. Of course, you may
also experiment with different settings to find the
one that provides the smoothest and most
complete bass response in your particular
listening environment. When all crossover
settings have been made, or in those cases where
none are needed, press the Navigation
Button so that the cursor is next to the
line to make the final setting on
this menu.
This setting allows you to use the same speaker
configuration and crossover settings for all
inputs, or to have different settings for each
input. In most cases, the factory default setting of
will be appropriate, as most systems
do not need individual speaker settings. However,
when full-range front speakers are used for both
movies and music, different bass management
settings may be used when listening to music
through a CD player as opposed to a movie from
a DVD player, VCR or cable/satellite set-top.
To customize the speaker-size configurations to
each input, make certain that the
the menu is set to

line. Press the Navigation Button

so that appears in
highlighted video. When this choice is entered by
exiting the menu, the settings just entered will
apply to the current input , and you will
need to go back to the
select another input, and then return to this
menu page to change the settings for the next
input. Repeat the procedure for any input where
you wish to have a different set of speaker
configuration and crossover settings.
NOTE: The inidependent feature allows you to
select a different speaker size configuration
(Large, Small or None, as appropriate) for each
input source. However, the individual crossover
point setting may only be set once, and the
selection made during the initial setup will be
used for all inputs, regardless of any changes
made to the "Large" or "Small" settings for the
speaker groups attached to any input. The reason
is that while you may prefer different settings for
the bass redirection (that is, which signals go to
the subwoofer or the speaker group), the actual
crossover point remains the same since the actual
loudspeakers themselves remain the same
regardless of any other setting.

To assist in making these settings, the icons in
the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators
will change as the speaker type is selected at
each position. When only the inner icon box is lit,
the speaker is set for "small. " When the inner box
and the two outer boxes with circles inside them
are lit, the speaker is set for "large." When no
indicator appears at a speaker location, that posi-
tion is set for "none" or "no" speaker.
