MULTIROOM OPERATION Once this setting is made, you may press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o to make any of the other adjustments available on this menu. If no other adjustments are needed, press the OSD Button U to exit the menu system. Multiroom Operation When operating the DPR 1005 from a remote room location where an IR sensor link has been connected to the DPR 1005's rear-panel Multiroom IR Input U, you may use either the main remote control or the Zone II remote. To turn on the multiroom feed, press the AVR Selector e∫ to turn the unit on to the last source, or any of the other Selector Buttons ç∂dXh to turn on to a specific source. As long as an IR feed to the DPR 1005 has been established from the remote room, using any of the buttons on either remote will control the remote location volume rî, change the tuner frequency wÉ, change the tuner preset v© or mute the output W˚. If the Remote IR Output Jack W on the DPR 1005 is connected to an IR Input jack on compatible Harman Kardon audio components such as CD, DVD or cassette players, the transport functions of those machines may also be controlled using the Transport Controls tuƒ©˙∆ on either remote control. To turn the system off from the remote room, press the Power Off Button aå. Remember that the DPR 1005 may be turned on or off from the remote room, regardless of the system's operation or status in the main room. NOTE: When the tuner is selected as the source for the remote zone, any change to the frequency or preset will also change the station being listened to in the main room, if the tuner is in use there. Similarly, if someone in the main room changes the station, the change will also have an impact on the remote room. To turn on the Multiroom system from the main listening room, press the Multiroom Button Q on the remote. When the MULTI ON/OFF message appears in the on-screen display and the Lower Display Line &, press the Set Button q and then press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o so that display changes to MULTI ON. Press the Set Button q again to activate the setting. Note that this method may be used to turn the Multiroom system on or off even when the DPR is in the Standby mode in the main listening room. When the Multiroom system is turned on, the input selected using the Multiroom menu will be fed to the Multiroom Audio Outputs ª on the rear panel as well as the A-BUS Connector X. The volume will be as set in the previous selection, although it may also be adjusted using an optional IR sensor and the Zone II remote in the remote location, or the A-BUS keypad, or on the optional audio power amplifier connected to the Multiroom Audio Outputs ª. Although changes to the input source or remote room volume will normally be made using an IR sensor in the remote room that is connected to the DPR, it is also possible to change those settings from the main listening room. This is useful for situations where some or all of the remote rooms do not have an IR sensor, or to take control over the remote room without actually being in that room. In addition to using the MULTI-ROOM SETUP menu, as shown on the previous page, you may change the source or volume in the remote zone using the remote. Press the Multiroom Button ` on the remote, and when the MULTI ON/OFF message appears in the on-screen display and the Lower Display Line &, press the Set Button q and then press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o to toggle past that message to MULTI LEVEL or MULTI INPUT. To change the remote room's input source, when MULTI INPUT appears, press the Set Button q, and then press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o until the desired input appears in the on-screen display and in the Lower Display Line &. To change the remote room's volume, when MULTI LEVEL appears, press the Set Button q, and press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o to change the volume setting. Note that this volume adjustment controls the level for the output to the Multiroom Audio Outputs ª and for any speakers connected to the Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs g when the Surround Back amplifier channels are configured for Multiroom use, as shown on page 39. This adjustment does NOT change the volume level for any room where an A-BUS module is used, as that setting is only adjustable using the A-BUS module's volume control or built-in IR sensor. Once the Multiroom system is turned on, it will remain on even if the DPR 1005 is placed in the Standby mode in the main room by pressing the Power Off Button å or the Main Power Switch A on the front panel. The Multiroom system will remain on even if the unit is turned off in the main room. In that event, although front-panel indicators and the accent lighting around the volume control will turn off, a MULTI-ROOM ON message will remain in the Lower Display Line & to remind you that power is still applied to the unit, and that it is being used for Multiroom operation elsewhere in the house. Remember that if you turn the unit completely off by pressing the Main Power Switch A, the feed to the second zone will also be turned off. When the DPR 1005 is turned off in the main room, the Multiroom system may be turned on at any time by pressing the Multiroom Button `, or any of the Selector Buttons ∫ç∂ in the remote room. NOTES ON MULTIROOM OPERATION: • The Zone II remote does not contain a button for the front-panel Video 5 input, but you may select that source for the Multiroom system using the MULTI-ROOM SETUP menu or an optional remote that has been programmed with the code for the Video 5 button from the DPR's main remote control. • In addition to the Zone II remote supplied with your DPR, you may use the main remote control or any remote programmed with Harman Kardon codes. Note, however, that only the remote codes applicable to the remote room system or the operation of source devices will function. Buttons used to change other "Main Room" listening functions such as surround mode changes will not work with the multiroom system. 40 MULTIROOM OPERATION
