SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 17
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
Using the On-Screen Display
When making the following adjustments, you may find it
easier to use the DPR 1001’s on-screen display system.
These easy-to-read displays give you a clear picture of
the current status of the unit and make it easy to see
which speaker, delay, input or digital selection you are
making.
To view the on-screen menus, make certain you have
made a connection from the
Video Monitor Out Jack
on the rear panel to the composite or S-Video input
of your TV or projector. In order to view the DPR 1001’s
displays, the correct video source must be selected on
the video display. Note that the on-screen menus are not
available when a component video display is in use.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When viewing the on-screen
menus using a CRT-based projector, plasma display or
any direct-view CRT monitor or television, it is important
that they not be left on the screen for an extended peri-
od of time. The constant display of a static image such
as these menus or video game images may cause the
image to be permanently “burned into” the projection
tubes, plasma screen or CRT.This type of damage is not
covered by the DPR 1001 warranty and may not be
covered by the projector/TV set’s warranty.
The DPR 1001 has two on-screen display modes,
“Semi-OSD” and “Full-OSD.” When making configuration
adjustments, it is recommended that the Full-OSD mode
be used. This will place an option listing on the screen,
making it easier to view the available options.
Making Configuration Adjustments
The full-OSD system is available by pressing the
OSD Button . When this button is pressed, the
MAIN menu (Figure 1) will appear, and adjustments
are made from the individual menus.
Figure 1
The semi-OSD system is also available, allowing you to
make adjustments directly, by pressing the appropriate
buttons on the front panel or remote control for the
specific parameter to be adjusted. For example, to
change the digital input for any of the sources, press the
Digital Select Button o on the remote, or use the
front panel buttons following the instructions shown on
page 18.
To use the full-OSD menu system, press the
OSD
Button
.When the menu is on the screen, press
the
⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons n until the item you
wish to adjust is highlighted in a white box and then
press the
Set Button p to adjust that item. The
menus will remain on the screen for 20 seconds,
and then they will “time-out” and disappear from
the
screen. The time-out may be increased to as much
as
50 seconds by going to the
ADVANCED
SELECT
menu, and changing the item titled
FULL OSD TIME OUT (see page 31).
When the full-OSD system is in use, the menu
selections are not shown in the
Main Information
Display
^.When the full-OSD menu system is used,
OSD ON will appear in the Upper Display Line
and the OSD Indicator will light to remind you
that a video display must be used. When the semi-OSD
system is used in conjunction with the discrete configura-
tion buttons, the on-screen display will show the current
menu selection. That selection will also be shown in the
Lower Display Line .
Speaker Optimizer
The Speaker Optimization function is critical to ensure
optimal performance of the DPR. This setting tells the
digital amplifier section which settings to use to best
match its operation to your specific speakers. Note that
this adjustment is electronic, not electrical, and unlike the
“8-ohm/4-ohm” switches on older analog amplifiers, you
do not need to turn the DPR off to change the setting.
However, we do suggest that you do not have any pro-
gram material playing through the DPR when the setting
is changed.
Before making this adjustment you will need to find the
impedance specification for your speakers. This informa-
tion is often found on a label attached to the speaker,
and it is usually shown in the owner’s manual that came
with your speakers. If you cannot find the information for
your speakers, consult the manufacturer’s Web site or
customer service department.
In cases where the speakers in a system have different
impedance ratings, such as 8 ohms for the front left/right
and center speakers and 6 ohms for the surround
speakers, use the setting for the front speakers, as they
are used most often for all types of program material.
If you cannot determine the speaker’s impedance, there
is no harm in using the factory default setting of 8 ohms,
as most home speakers are in that range.
Since the factory default is 8 ohms, you may skip this
section if that is the setting appropriate to your system.
If you do want to change the setting, follow these steps.
Press the
OSD Button so that the MAIN
menu (Figure 1) appears on your display. Press the
¤ Navigation Button n so that SPKR
OPTIMIZER
is highlighted and then press the
‹/› Navigation Buttons n until the desired setting
appears.
When the correct impedance figure is on the screen,
press the
¤ Navigation Button n so that
IN/OUT SETUP is highlighted and proceed
to the following section to configure the remaining
settings for your DPR.
Setting the System Configuration Memory
The DPR 1001 features an advanced memory system
that enables you to establish different configurations for
the speaker configuration, digital input, surround mode,
crossover frequency and output levels for each input
source. This flexibility enables you to custom-tailor the
way in which you listen to each source and have the
DPR 1001 memorize those settings. This means, for
example, that you may use different output levels or trims
for different sources, or set different speaker configura-
tions with the resultant changes to the bass management
system. Once these settings are made, they will automat-
ically be recalled whenever you select that input.
The factory default settings for the DPR 1001 have all
inputs except for DVD configured for an analog audio
input; for the DVD input, the
Coaxial 1 Digital Input k
is the default. The default speaker settings are “SMALL”
for all speaker positions, and for the Subwoofer to be on.
The default setting for the surround modes is Logic 7
Music, although Dolby Digital or DTS will automatically be
selected as appropriate when a source with digital
encoding is in use.
Before using the unit, you will probably want to change
the settings for most inputs so that they are properly
configured to reflect the use of digital or analog inputs,
the type of speakers installed and the surround mode
specifics of your home theater system. Remember that
since the DPR 1001 memorizes the settings for each
input individually, you will need to make these adjust-
ments for each input used. However, once they are
made, further adjustment is only required when system
components are changed.
To make this process as quick and as easy as possible,
we suggest that you use the full-OSD system with the
on-screen menus, and step through each input. Once
you have completed the settings for the first input, many
settings may be duplicated for the remaining inputs. It is
also a good idea to set the configuration data in the
order these items are listed in the
MAIN menu, as
some settings require a specific entry in a prior menu
item. Remember that once the settings are made for
one input, they must be made for all other input sources
in your system.
