INTRODUCTION
Thank You for Choosing Harman Kardon
®
With the purchase of a Harman Kardon DPR 1005,
you are about to begin many years of listening enjoy-
ment. Thanks to its completely digital path system,
the
DPR 1005 is truly a receiver for the new millennium.
The DPR 1005 has a wide range of features and
options that accommodate virtually any combination
of speakers, room size and program sources. It is
as easy to operate as it is to set up, but in order to
take maximum advantage of the many advanced
technologies within your new DPR, it is strongly
recommended that you take a few minutes to read
this owner’s manual.
If you have any questions about this product, its instal-
lation or its operation, we recommend that you contact
your dealer or installer, as they are your best source
of local information. You may also access a wealth of
information and assistance by visiting our Web site

Description and Features
Harman Kardon’s breakthrough Digital Path Receiver
technology, of which the DPR 1005 is the second
generation, keeps signals in the digital domain from
the input to the output. Along with the newly designed
PWM digital amplifier, this not only reduces signal
degradation caused by digital-to-analog conversion
stages; the increased efficiency makes it possible to
reduce the DPR’s size and weight without sacrificing
performance.
The DPR 1005 is designed to serve as the hub of
your home entertainment system, providing a variety
of listening options. When playing movies or other pro-
gramming from digital formats such as DVD or HDTV,
the DPR decodes Dolby* Digital, Dolby Digital EX,
DTS
®
and DTS-ES.
®
Two-channel stereo and matrix
surround sources benefit from the new Pro Logic IIx
technology and DTS Neo:6.
®
A Harman Kardon exclu-
sive in receivers is the latest version of Logic 7
®
to
create a wider, more enveloping sound field and more
defined surround channel positioning, regardless of the
type of source material. Additional processing options
include MP3 decoding when connected to a compati-
ble computer and HDCD
®
for enhanced CD playback.
Advanced technology is also at work even when only
two speakers are used. Dolby Virtual Speaker modes
and Harman International’s proprietary VMAx
®
are both
available to create enveloping sound fields from the
front left and right speakers, while Dolby Headphone
circuitry creates an amazing sense of openness with
headphones.
Along with the many listening options, the DPR 1005
offers numerous settings that let you customize the
system. A Quadruple Crossover bass management
system configures each speaker group for a different
crossover setting, while the assignable, wide bandwidth
component video inputs may be linked to any video
source. To further enhance the viewing experience with
digital video sources or advanced digital video dis-
plays, the DPR 1005’s A/V Sync Delay feature allows
you to compensate for the loss of lip sync common in
many video processing systems by delaying the audio
signal independently for each input. An advanced ver-
sion of Harman Kardon’s patented EzSet remote com-
pletes the package, making it easier than ever to set
system output levels and to program the remote to
operate virtually any program source.
The DPR 1005’s multizone options and a standard
Zone II remote control make it possible to listen to a
separate source in one room while the main home
theater uses a different source. Thanks to assignable
rear surround channel amplifiers, you may create a
basic remote listening zone without any additional
equipment. The unit’s Multiroom outputs may also be
used to feed an optional, external power amplifier and
volume control. For one-wire multiroom connectivity,
the DPR 1005 is A-BUS Ready,
®
requiring only a sin-
gle Category 5/5e cable and an optional remote mod-
ule to power remote speakers while controlling volume
and enabling full control over the program source and
compatible IR-controlled devices.
Combining state-of-the-art circuitry, digital technology
and proven performance with an elegant design that
is compatible with the latest source components and
video displays, the DPR 1005 represents the culmina-
tion of Harman Kardon’s 50-year history of delivering
the finest sonic performance.
