Within five sec-onds, press the Set Button ! again, and then press the⁄/¤ Buttons )@ again to cycle through the list ofavailable inputs. When the desired digital input (or the ana-log input) name flashes in the right portion of the messagein the Upper Display Line F and in the on-screen dis-play, press the Set Button ! to enter your choice intothe unit’s memory. The DPR 1001 will return to normaloperation and displays within five seconds.NOTE: When a source such as an HDTV receiveror a digital cable set-top box is used, you may wishto connect both the coaxial digital output and thestandard, analog output of the source to the DPR’sVID 2 input since the program sources and channelsreceived by these devices often switch betweenanalog and digital audio.An exclusive Harman Kardon feature is the ability toswitch the front panel coaxial digital audio and analogaudio/video jacks from their normal use as inputs to out-put connections so that portable recording devices mayeasily be connected. On the DPR 1001, the DigitalCoax 3 Jack Ò is normally an input, but it may beswitched to a digital output for use with CD-R/RW decks,MD recorders or other A/V recorders. To change the jackto an output, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons nwhile the IN/OUT SETUP menu is on the screenuntil COAXIAL 3 is highlighted. Then press the ‹/›Navigation Buttons n so that the word OUTappears. The Input/Output Status Indicator  willturn red, indicating that the jack is now a record output.NOTE: A signal will be sent to this jack only when theinput selected for use by the DPR 1001 is digital. Digitalsignals will be passed through regardless of their format,and which digital input (optical or coax) they are fedfrom. However, analog signals are not converted to digi-tal, and the signal’s format (e.g., PCM, Dolby Digital orDTS) may not be changed.Selection of the front panel jacks as an output will remaineffective as long as the DPR 1001 is on. Once the unitis turned off, the jacks will revert to their normal use asan input when the unit is turned on again.The front panel analog Video 4 Jacks Ú are normallyset as an input for use with camcorders, video gamesand other portable audio/video products, but they maybe switched to an output for connection to portableaudio/video recorders. To temporarily switch them to out-puts, you must first be at the IN/OUT SETUPmenu. Press the ¤ Navigation Button n until theVIDEO 4 line is highlighted. Press the › Buttonn so that the word OUT appears. Note that theInput/Output Status Indicator  between the S-and composite video jacks will turn red, indicating thatthe analog Video 4 jacks are now record outputs.Surround SetupOnce the basic input setup has been completed, the nextstep is to select the surround mode you wish to use withan input. Since surround modes are a matter of personaltaste, feel free to select any mode you wish – you maychange it later. However, to make it easier to establishthe initial parameters for the DPR 1001, it is best toselect Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7 for most analoginputs and Dolby Digital for inputs connected to digitalsources. In the case of inputs such as a CD Player, TapeDeck or Tuner, you may wish to set the mode to Stereo(“Surround Off”) as they are not typically used with sur-round-encoded material. Alternatively, the Logic 7 Musicmode is a good choice for two-channel source material.It is easiest to complete the surround setup using thefull-OSD on-screen menus. From the MAIN menu(Figure 1), press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons nuntil SURROUND SELECT is highlighted. Pressthe Set Button p so that the SURROUNDSELECT menu (Figure 3) is on the screen.Figure 3Each of the lines on the menu (Figure 3) contains a cat-egory menu surround mode and within those menus youmay choose one of the sub-modes. The list of sub-modes in some categories will vary according to whether5.1 or 6.1/7.1 operation is chosen. Also, some of themodes available in the DPR 1001 will not appear unless adigital source is selected and playing the correct bitstream.The selection of 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 configuration is deter-mined by the setting for Surround Back Speakers in theSpeaker Setup menu. The factory setting is for “None,”which will mean that only 5.1 modes will be available. Toutilize the 6.1/7.1 surround modes, change the settingfor the Surround Back Speakers to either Large or Small,as shown in the instructions on page 20. This will auto-matically activate all 6.1/7.1 surround mode options.To select the mode that will be used as the initial defaultfor an input, first press the ⁄ /¤ Navigation Buttonsn until the on-screen cursor is next to the desiredmode’s master category name. Next, press the SetButton p to view the sub-menu. Press the ‹/›Navigation Buttons n to scroll through the availablechoices, and then press the ¤ Navigation Buttonn so that the cursor is next to RETURN TOMAIN MENU to continue the setup process.On the DOLBY SURR menu (Figure 4), the choicesinclude Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II Music, DolbyPro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo.When a 6.1/7.1 speaker configuration is used,Dolby Digital EX replaces the Dolby Digital mode.
