OPERATION

Basic Operation

Once you have completed the initial setup and configu-
ration of the DPR 2005, it is simple to operate and
enjoy. The following instructions will help you maximize
the enjoyment of your new receiver:
Turning the DPR 2005 On or Off
• When using the DPR 2005 for the first time, you must
press the Main Power Switch A to turn the unit
on. This places the unit in a Standby mode, as indi-
cated by the Standby/On Indicator 1 turning amber.
Once the unit is in Standby, you may begin a listening
session by pressing the Standby/On Button 2 on
the front panel, or the Power On Button b or
AVR Selector e∫ on the remote. This will turn
the unit on and return the DPR to the input source that
was last used. The unit may also be turned on from
Standby by pressing any of the Input Selector
Buttons dXhç∂ on the remote or
the Input Source Selector Button 8 on the
front panel.
Whenever the DPR is turned on, you will see all of the
front-panel indicators light up for a few seconds. This is
normal, and it is part of the unit's power-on self test.
NOTE: After pressing one of the Input Selector
Buttons dXhç∂ to turn the unit on,
press the AVR Selector e∫ to set the remote
control to the DPR 2005 functions.
To turn the unit off, simply press the Standby/On
Switch 1 on the front panel or the Power Off
Button aå on the remote. Power will be shut off
to any equipment plugged into the rear-panel
Switched AC Accessory Outlet d and the
Standby/On Indicator 1 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 lighting of the Standby/On
Indicator 1.
• To program the DPR 2005 for automatic turn-off,
press the Sleep Button S on the remote. Each
press of the button will decrease the time before
shut-down in the following sequence:
The sleep time will be displayed in the Lower
Display Line & and it will count down until the
time has elapsed.
The front-panel display will dim to half brightness
when the Sleep function is programmed. To cancel the
Sleep function, press and hold the Sleep ButtonS
until the information display returns to normal bright-
ness; and the words SLEEP OFF will appear in
30 OPERATION
the Lower Display Line & . When the programmed
sleep time has elapsed, the unit will turn off.
When you will be away from home for an extended
period of time, it is always a good idea to turn the unit
off with the front-panel Main Power Switch A .
NOTE: All preset memories are lost if the unit is left
turned off by using the Main Power Switch A for
more than four weeks.

Source Selection

• To select a source, press any of the Input Selector
Buttons dXhç∂ on the remote.
• The input source may also be changed by pressing
the front-panel Input Source Selector Button 8.
Each press of the button will move the input selec-
tion through the list of available inputs.
• When a new input is selected, the DPR will automati-
cally switch to the digital input (if selected), surround
mode, component video input, A/V Sync Delay and
Night Mode configurations that were in effect the
last time that input was used. If the BASS MGR
line on the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Fig. 7)
was set to INDEPENDENT, as described on
page 26, the settings for speaker size will also
change to the preset values.
• The front-panel Video 5 Inputs K , Optical Digital
3 Input H or the Coaxial Digital 3 Input J 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 Upper Display Line ^ and
in the front-panel Input Indicators $.
• When an audio source is selected, the last video
input used remains routed to the Video 1/Video 2
Outputs £∞ and Video Monitor Outputs •.
This permits simultaneous viewing and listening to
different sources.
• When a composite or S-Video source is selected, the
video signal for that input will be routed to the Video
Monitor Output • and will be viewable on a TV
monitor connected to the DPR 2005.
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 fi. Select the appropriate input for your
system and source equipment:
20
harman/kardon
The 6 CH DVD AUDIO input should be
used when the SBR and SBL inputs are not
in use. When this input is used, the analog source
is converted to digital so that you may use the
same bass-management options for the direct
input as you do with all other outputs. This input
also mutes the unused SBL and SBR input jacks
to prevent unwanted noise from interfering with
system performance.
The 8 CH DVD AUDIO input should
be used when an input is connected to all eight
8-Channel Direct Inputs fi. 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 outputs.
Volume and Tone Control
• Adjust the volume to a comfortable level using the
front-panel Volume Control # or remote Volume
Up/Down Buttons r
.
• To temporarily silence all speaker outputs, press the
Mute Button 33 . This will interrupt the out-
put 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
MUTE will flash in the on-screen display and
Upper Display Line ^, press the Mute Buttons
33 again to return to normal operation.
• The unit's tone controls may be taken out of the
signal path by pressing the Tone Mode Button on
the front panel B or the remote V. The first
press of either button will show a message in the
on-screen display and Lower Display Line &
with the current status of the tone controls. The sys-
tem default is TONE IN, which indicates that
the bass and treble controls are active. Press the
Navigation Button o on the remote or
/
⁄ ¤
Button ! on the front panel to change
the /
⁄ ¤
the setting to TONE OUT, which is "flat"
response without the tone controls being active.
• When the tone controls are active, the bass and tre-
ble boost/cut may be adjusted by first pressing the
Tone Mode Button on the front panel B or the
remote V until the desired setting (BASS
MODE or TREBLE MODE) appears in the
on-screen display and the Lower Display Line
&. Next, use the Navigation Button o
