40 ADVANCED FEATURES

Advanced Features

The DPR is equipped with a number of advanced

features that add extra flexibility to the unit’s

operation. While it is not necessary to use these

features to operate the unit, they provide addi-

tional options that you may wish to use.

Surround Amplifier Channel

Assignment

The DPR is equipped with seven full-power

amplifier channels to allow for complete 7.1-

channel operation without the need for

additional external amplifiers. However, in some

installations you may wish to use the traditional

5.1-channel configuration for the main listening

room, which allows the surround back left/right

amplifier channels to be used to power speakers

placed in a remote zone location.

If you wish to use the Surround Back channel

amplifiers to power the remote zone, you must

change a setting in the

MULTI-ROOM

menu. To make that change, first call up the

menu system by pressing the OSD Button

to bring the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) to the

screen. Next, press the

Button

until the

›

cursor is next to the MULTI-ROOM line.

Press the Set Button

to enter the

MULTI-ROOM SETUP menu (Figure 11).

If you wish to use the Surround Back amplifier

channels to power the remote zone, press the

Navigation Button

until the ➞

cursor is pointing to the

SB AMPS line on the

MULTI-ROOM SETUP menu. Press the

›

Navigation Button

until MULTI is

highlighted in reverse video and press the Set

Button

Remember that once this setting is made you will

not be able to take advantage of any of the

6.1/7.1- channel decoding or processing modes,

and no Surround Back speakers must be selected

in the speaker setup procedure outlined earlier. In

addition the speakers used for the remote zone

must be connected to the Surround Back/

Multiroom Speaker Outputs



. The volume

for these speakers is set by the multiroom

system, as explained on page 42 of this manual.

Once this setting is made, you may press the

⁄

Button

to make any of the other

adjustments available on this menu. If no other

adjustments are needed, press the OSD Button

to exit the menu system.

Front-Panel-Display Fade

In normal operation, the front-panel displays and

indicators remain on at full brightness, although

you may also dim them or turn them off as

shown on page 39. As an additional option, you

may also set the DPR so that the displays are on

whenever a button is pressed on the front panel

or remote, but then fade out after a set period of

time.

To set the front-panel displays to the Fade mode,

press the OSD Button

to bring the Master

Menu to the screen. Press the

⁄

Navigation

Button

so that the ➞ cursor is pointed to

the

ADVANCED line, and press the Set

Button

to enter the ADVANCED

SELECT

menu (Figure 12).

Navigation Button

so that the

amount of time that you wish the displays to

fade out after a button is pressed is shown.

Once this time is set and the unit returned to

normal operation, the displays will remain on for

the time period selected whenever a button is

pressed on the front panel or remote. After that

time they will gradually fade out, with the excep-

tion of the lighting surrounding the Standby/On

Switch

, which remains on to remind you

that the DPR is turned on. Note that if the dis-

plays have been turned completely off using the

Dim Button, as shown on page 39 , the Fade

function will not operate.

If you wish to make adjustments to other items

on the

ADVANCED SELECT menu, press

the

➞ cursor next to the desired item, or place the

➞ cursor next to the

BACK TO MASTER

line and press the Set Button

make an adjustment to another menu. If you

have completed all adjustments, press the OSD

Button

to exit the menu system.

Display Brightness

The DPR’s front panel Main Information

Display

is set at a default brightness level

that is sufficient for viewing in a normally lit

room. However, in some home theater installa-

tions, you may wish to occasionally lower the

brightness of the display, or turn it off completely.

To change the display brightness setting for a

specific listening session, you will need to make

an adjustment in the

ADVANCED SELECT

menu. To start the adjustment, press the OSD

button

to bring the MASTER MENU to

the screen. Press the

⁄

Button

, until the on-

screen

›

cursor is next to the ADVANCED

line. Press the Set Button

to enter the

ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 12).

To change the brightness setting, at the

ADVANCED SELECT menu, make certain

that the on-screen

›

cursor is next to the VFD

line, and press the

›

Button

until the

desired brightness level is highlighted in the

video display. When

FULL is highlighted, the

display is at its normal brightness. When

HALF

is highlighted, the display is at half the normal

brightness level. When

OFF is highlighted, all of

the indicators in the Main Information

Display

will go dark. Note, however, that the

Power Indicator

, will always remain lit to

remind you that the unit is turned on.

If you wish to make other adjustments in the

menu, press the

⁄

Buttons

until the on-

screen

›

cursor is next to the desired setting or

the

BACK TO MASTER MENU line and

press the Set button

. If you have no other

adjustments to make, press the OSD Button

to exit the menu system.

The display brightness may also be changed by

pressing and holding the Set button

on the

front for three seconds until the message in the

Main Information Display

reads VFD

FULL

. Within five seconds, press the front

panel Selector buttons

until the desired

brightness display level is shown. At that point,

press the Set button

again to enter the

setting.

Once the desired brightness level is selected, it

will remain in effect until it is changed again or

until the unit is turned off.
