Harman Kardon DPR 1005 Owners Manual - Page 37

ADVANCED FEATURES The DPR 1005 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 additional options that you may wish to use. 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 36. 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 U to bring the Master Menu to the screen. Press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o so that the ➔ cursor is pointed to the ADVANCED line, and press the Set Button q to enter the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 16). * ADVANCED SELECT * → VFD FADE TIME OUT:OFF VFD :FULL HALF OFF VOLUME DEFAULT:OFF ON DEFAULT VOL SET: 25dB SEMI OSD/TIME OUT:5S FULL OSD TIME OUT:20S BACK TO MASTER MENU Figure 16 With the ADVANCED SELECT menu on your video display, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o so that the ➔ cursor is pointed to the VFD FADE TIME OUT line. Next, press the ‹/› Navigation Button o 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 returns 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 exception of the Standby/On Indicator 1, which remains on to remind you that the DPR is turned on. If you wish to make adjustments to other items on the ADVANCED SELECT menu, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o to place the ➔ cursor next to the desired item, or place the ➔ cursor next to the BACK TO MASTER MENU line and press the Set Button q to make an adjustment to another menu. If you have completed all adjustments, press the OSD Button U to exit the menu system. Display Brightness The DPR 1005's front-panel displays and indicators are set at a default brightness level that is sufficient for viewing in a normally lit room. However, 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, use the Dim function as shown on page 36 in the Operation Section of this manual, or make an adjustment in the ADVANCED SELECT menu. To start the adjustment, press the OSD Button U to bring the MASTER MENU to the screen. Press the ¤ Navigation Button o, until the on-screen ➔ cursor is next to the ADVANCED line. Press the Set Button q to enter the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Figure 16). 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 › Navigation Button o 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, but the blue lighting inside the Volume Control # will go out. When OFF is highlighted, all of the front-panel indicators will go dark. Once the desired brightness level is selected, it will remain in effect until it is changed again or until the unit is turned off. If you wish to make other adjustments, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o until the on-screen ➔ cursor is next to the desired setting or the BACK TO MASTER MENU line and press the Set Button q. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD Button U to exit the menu system. Turn-On Volume Level As is the case with most audio/video receivers, when the DPR 1005 is turned on, it will always return to the volume setting in effect when the unit was turned off. However, you may prefer to always have the DPR 1005 turn on at a specific setting, regardless of what was last in use when the unit was turned off. To change the default condition so that the same volume level is always used at turn-on, you will need to make an adjustment in the ADVANCED SELECT menu. To start the adjustment, press the OSD Button U to bring the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) to the screen. Press the ¤ Navigation Button o, until the on-screen ➔ cursor is next to the ADVANCED line. Press the Set Button q to enter the ADVANCED SELECT menu (Fig. 16). At the ADVANCED SELECT menu, make certain that the on-screen ➔ cursor is next to the VOLUME DEFAULT line by pressing the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o as needed. Next, press the › Navigation Button o so that the word ON is highlighted in the video display. Next, press the ¤ Navigation Button o once so that the onscreen ➔ cursor is next to the DEFAULT VOL SET line. To set the desired turn-on volume, press the ‹/› Navigation Button o until the desired volume level is shown on the DEFAULT VOL SET line. This setting may NOT be made with the regular volume controls. NOTE: Since the setting for the turn-on volume cannot be heard while the setting is being made, you may wish to determine the setting before making the adjustment. To do this, listen to any source and adjust the volume to the desired level using the regular Volume Controls #rî. When the desired volume level to be used at turn-on is reached, make a note of the setting as it appears in the lower third of the video screen or in the Lower Display Line &. (A typical volume level will appear as a negative number such as -25dB.) When making the adjustment, use the ‹/› Navigation Button o to enter this setting. Unlike some of the other adjustments in this menu, the turn-on volume default will remain in effect until it is changed or turned off in this menu, even when the unit is turned off. If you wish to make other adjustments, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o until the on-screen ➔ cursor is next to the desired setting or the BACK TO MASTER MENU line, and press the Set Button q. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD Button U to exit the menu system. Semi-OSD Settings The semi-OSD system places one-line messages at the lower third of the video display screen whenever the Volume, Input Source, Surround mode, tuner frequency or any of the configuration settings is changed. The semi-OSD system is helpful in that it enables you to have feedback on any control changes or remote commands using the video display when it is difficult to view the front-panel displays. However, you may also prefer to turn these displays off permanently. You may also want to adjust the length of time the displays remain on the screen. Both of those options are possible with the DPR 1005. ADVANCED FEATURES 37
