Operation

Basic Operation

Once you have completed the setup and configu-
ration of the DPR, it is simple to operate and
enjoy. The following instructions should be fol-
lowed for you to maximize your enjoyment of your
new receiver:
Turning the DPR On or Off
• When using the DPR for the first time, you must
press the Main Power Switch
panel to turn the unit on. This places the unit in a
Standby mode, as indicated by the amber color of
the Power Indicator . Once the unit is in
Standby, you may begin a listening session by
pressing the System Power Control
Source button on the front panel or the
AVR Selector . Note that the Power
Indicator will turn blue. This will turn the unit
on and return it to the input source that was last
used. The unit may also be turned on from Standby
by pressing any of the Source Selector buttons
on the remote
Source button on the front panel.
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.
To turn the unit off at the end of a listening
session, simply press the System Power
Control on the front panel or the Power Off
Button on the remote. Power will be
shut off to any equipment plugged into the rear
panel Switched AC Outlets and the Power
Indicator will turn amber.
When the remote is used to turn the unit "off" it
is actually placing the system in a Standby mode,
as indicated by the amber color of the Power
Indicator .
When you will be away from home for an extend-
ed period of time it is always a good idea to com-
pletely turn the unit off with the front panel Main
Power Switch .
NOTE: All preset memories may be lost if the unit
is left turned off with the Main Power Switch
for more than four weeks.
Using the Sleep Timer
• To program the DPR for automatic turn-off, press
the Sleep Button on the remote. Each press
of the button will increase the time before shut
down in the following sequence:
90 80 70 60 50
min min min min min
40 30 20 10
OFF
min min min min
The sleep time will be displayed in the Lower
Display Line and it will count down until the
time has elapsed. When the programmed sleep
time has elapsed, the unit will automatically turn
off (to Standby mode). Note that the front panel
display will dim to one half brightness when the
Sleep function is programmed. To cancel the Sleep
function, press and hold the Sleep Button
until the information display returns to normal
brightness and the Sleep indicator numbers dis-
appear and the words

• The input source may also be changed by press-
ing the front-panel Input Source Selector but-
ton . Each press of the button will move the
input selection through the list of available inputs.
• As the input is changed, the DPR will automati-
or the
cally switch to the digital input (if selected), sur-
round mode and speaker configuration that were
entered during the configuration process for that
source.
• The front-panel Video 5 Inputs
Digital 3 Input
Input may be used to connect a device such
as a video game or camcorder to your home
entertainment system on a temporary basis.
• As the input source is changed, the new input
name will appear momentarily as an on-screen
display in the lower third of the video display. The
input name will also appear in the Main

permits simultaneous viewing and listening to
different sources.
• When a Video source is selected, its audio
signal will be fed to the speakers and the video
signal for that input will be routed to the appro-
priate Monitor Output Jack
viewable on a TV monitor connected to the DPR.
If a component video source is connected to the
DVD or Video 2
will be routed to the Component Video
Outputs . Make certain that your TV is set to

6-Channel/8-Channel Direct Input
• There are two input choices available for use
with sources such as a DVD-Audio or SACD player
that are connected to the 8-Channel Direct
Inputs . Select the appropriate input accord-
ing to the way your system and source equipment
is configured:
• The input should be
used when the SBR and SBL inputs are NOT in
use and the input source device does NOT have
its own internal bass management system. When
this input is in use the analog source is converted
to digital so that you may use the same
Quadruple Crossover bass management options
for the direct input as you do with all other
inputs. This input also mutes the unused input
jacks to prevent unwanted noise from interfering
with system performance.
• The input should be
used when an input is connected to all eight
8-Channel Direct Inputs and the input
source device does NOT have its own internal
bass management system. When this input is in
use the analog source is converted to digital so
that you may use the same Quadruple Crossover
bass management options for the direct input as
you do with all other inputs.
Note that when the 6-Channel or 8-Channel
Input is in use, you may not select a surround
mode, as the external decoder determines the
processing in use. In addition, there is no signal at
the record outputs or bass management when
the 6-Channel or 8-Channel Direct Input is in use
and the tone or balance controls will not
function.

Controls and Use of Headphones

• Adjust the volume to a comfortable level using
the front panel Volume Control
Volume Up/Down buttons.
• To temporarily silence all speaker outputs press
the Mute button . This will interrupt the
output to all speakers and the headphone jack,
but it will not affect any recording or dubbing
that may be in progress. When the system is
muted, the word will blink in the Main
Information Display . Press the Mute
button again to return to normal
operation.
• During a listening session you may wish to
adjust the Bass Control and Treble Control to
suit your listening tastes or room acoustics. Note
that these controls (and Balance) will not function
when the 6/8 channel direct input is in use.
• To set the output of the DPR so that the output
is "flat, " with the tone and balance controls de-
activated, press the Tone Mode button
once or twice so that the words
appear momentarily in the Main Information
