GETTING STARTED Carton Contents The following items should be in the box with the DP-1 DVD player. If any of these items are missing, contact your Polk Audio retailer or Polk Audio Customer Service.
REMOTE CONTROLS There are two remotes included with the DP-1 CD/DVD player. The large, black DR-3 is a unified system programmable/learning remote control that has been pre-programmed to operate the most-often used functions of both the Digital Solution preamp/processor and the DP-1 CD/DVD player. You can also program it to operate other components in your system to reduce “remote clutter” on your coffee table.
DR-3 REMOTE GUIDED TOUR We will only describe here the DR-3 remote functions as they pertain to the Polk Audio Digital Solution preamp/processor and DP-1 CD/DVD player. See the separate DR-3 Owner’s Manual for instructions on how to program and use this remote for other devices. 1. These buttons serve two functions: to select the device that the remote will control and to change inputs on the Digital Solution preamp/ processor.
REMOTE CONTROLS 12. Use this button to put the CD/DVD player into the play mode or use it to select a menu choice. When the MULTI source/device button gets pressed, this button acts as the Enter button for the on screen display (OSD) for the Digital Solution preamp/processor. 13. Each time you depress this button, the Polk DP-1 fast-forwards a little faster. The first push fastforwards at 2X normal speed.
14. Push this button once to pause playing the DVD in the Polk DP-1 CD/DVD/MP3 player. Press it a second time to totally stop the DVD. With a CD in the player, this button simply stops the CD. When the MULTI source/device button gets pressed, enabling multi-zone remote speaker use with the DS System, this button acts as the down arrow navigation for the on screen display (OSD) for the Digital Solution preamp/processor. 15. This button acts as the Clear command for the DP-1 CD/DVD player.
DP-1 SET UP MENUS Your DP-1 player has been preset to work perfectly with your Polk Audio Digital Solution system and a standard 4:3 aspect ratio TV. If you have a 16:9 widescreen TV you will have to reset the TV Aspect Ratio in the “Other” section of the DVD setup menu. No matter what gear you have it is always a good idea to check all of these settings to make sure they are correct. How to navigate and select choices 1. Press the button on either the DR-3 or DR-4 remotes.
DP-1 SET UP MENUS Setting Digital Audio Output Sample Frequency Menu Language Options The default setting of “48kHz” allows the DP-1 to work safely with all digital processors and receivers. When this DVD player is connected to the Polk Audio Digital Solution 7200 system (but NOT the RMDS-1 system), we recommend that you use the “96kHz” setting for the best possible audio performance. If you are using some other surround receiver or preamp/processor, see that unit’s manual to determine the best settings.
DP-1 SET UP MENUS Parental Block/Password Menus (optional) Video (Screen Saver) The Rating and Password menus are useful if you have children at home and want to prevent them from viewing inappropriate DVDs. Most DVD movies are age rated just like theatrical releases.
DVD OPERATION Playing a DVD 1. Turning On the System. Press SYSTEM POWER on the bottom of the DR-3 remote to turn on the Digital Solution system. Press the DVD Source/Device button at the top of the remote and then press the SOURCE POWER button back at the bottom. The CD/DVD player will turn on and the power indicator light on the front will turn green. After a few seconds delay, a cheery “HELLO” appears in the display of the DVD player.
ADVANCED DVD OPERATION 1. Changing the Surround Audio Mode. If the DVD has a 5.1 surround track but the DS preamp/processor does not indicate “3/2.1” in the display, use the AUDIO button to toggle through the available audio tracks on the DVD. Soundtracks on menus and extras are usually not 5.1, so wait until the movie is playing before changing audio tracks. The AUDIO button may not change the audio track on some DVDs.
ADVANCED DVD OPERATION The following seldom-used advanced features can only be accessed with the DR-4 remote control included with the DP-1. ▲ ▲ 1. Using Markers and Search.

Troubleshooting Guide If This Happens: It’s Probable Cause… Cures: The DVD player dosen’t turn on. The unit is not getting AC power. Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into a live AC outlet. Press the Power button on the DP-1’s faceplate. If it turns on, the problem lies with the remote control or operator error. DVD or CD disc is not inserted or is inserted improperly. Open the disc tray and make sure a DVD or CD is inserted correctly in the tray and that the label side is facing up.
Troubleshooting Guide If This Happens: It’s Probable Cause… Cures: The power is on but the machine will not play a MP3 disc. The disc is not inserted properly Open the disc tray and make sure the CD is inserted correctly in the tray and that the label side is facing up. The disc is not an ISO9660 disc The disc was probably made using a noncompatible software program, such as Direct-CD. You’ll have to re-burn the disc using a software program that will make ISO9660 formatted discs.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE Manual Three-Digit Code Method The DR-3 remote control can duplicate the remote functions of most brands of audio/video equipment by simply entering in a three-digit code number. When you enter in the code the DR-3 “learns” most or all of the remote functions of that equipment so you don’t need to program the DR-3 button by button. There are tables on pages 14 - 15 that list the major audio/video brands and their three-digit remote codes. Quick Instructions 1. Look up code number 2.
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE Auto Search Method If none of the three-digit code numbers assigned to your brand shut off your equipment or if your brand of equipment is not listed in the code tables, you can use the Auto Search Method to find the correct threedigit number for your equipment. 1. Turn on the equipment you wish to program. NOTE: From here on in you have 20 seconds to perform each step. If the Source/Device button light goes off, you need to back up a step and do it again.
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE Teaching Method From time to time the three-digit programming method doesn’t automatically program in all of the commands of the original remote. In such cases you can “teach” the DR-3 individual commands from your original equipment remote control. New commands can be taught to any button except the eight Source/Device buttons at the top of the remote and the LIGHT, MACRO, LEARN, CODE, SAVE, CNCL, MUTE, SURROUND MODE, VOL UP, VOL DOWN, SUB+, SUB– and SYSTEM POWER buttons.
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE Erasing a Learned Command From a Button NOTE: You have 20 seconds to perform each step. If the source button light goes off, you need to back up a step and do it again. You can exit by pressing the CNCL (cancel) button at any time in the process. 1. Press and hold the LEARN button for two seconds. The status light at the top left of the remote will glow orange. 2. Press the Source/Device associated with the button you wish to erase. The Source/Device button light will turn on. 3.
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE Erasing All the Learned Commands in All Device Modes This procedure will erase all the learned commands on all the buttons in all eight Source/Device modes. Be really, really sure you want to do this before following the steps below. 1. Press and hold the LEARN button for two seconds. The Status light at the top left of the remote will glow orange. 2. Press and hold the LEARN button again for 10 seconds. The Status light will flash red continuously.
MACRO OPERATION Programming the Macro Button The MACRO button can send out a sequence of up to 20 commands with one button press. It can be programmed for up to eight Source button macros and perform multi-step operations with just one button push. For example, you can program the MACRO button to turn on the TV, turn on the DS system, turn on the DVD player, select the correct Video input, and open DVD drawer with the push of one just button.
MACRO OPERATION Macro Sequence Programming Example: Confused? Don’t worry, it isn’t as bad as it looks. Let’s walk you through a hypothetical Macro sequence to show you how it works. In this example, we are programming the DVD source Macro button to turn on the TV, the Digital Solution system and the DVD player as well as select the DVD player as the source to view. In this case, we are assuming that you have programmed the TV codes into the CBL Source/Device. 2,7 4 1.
