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. For example if you want to play the DVD player, push
the “DVD” button on the top row. The Digital Solution preamp/
processor will switch to the DVD input and the buttons on the
DR-3 remote will be set to operate the DP-1 CD/DVD player.
The top buttons bordered by the gold box are multi-function
buttons. That is, they can select more than one input. Press the
DVD/6CH button once and it selects the DVD input on the pre-
amp/processor and allows the DR-3 to act as the remote for the
DP-1 CD/DVD player. Press it a second time and the DS preamp
switches to the 6CH Analog input for a DVD-Audio or multi-chan-
nel SACD player. What these buttons can’t do is select more than
one set of remote codes. You can program ONE device per Source
button. Don’t worry it isn’t very likely that you are going to have
both a digital and an analog cable tuner or two DVD players
hooked up to your system. Of course before the DR-3 can operate
any device other than the DS preamp/processor and DP-1
CD/DVD player, you have to insert the device’s remote codes into
the DR-3. (See the separate DR-3 Owner’s Manual for instruc-
tions on how to program and use this remote for other devices.)
IMPORTANT NOTE: The VOL , SURROUND MODE,
MUTE, SUB+ and SUB– buttons are permanently assigned to
Digital Solution preamp/processor functions. No matter what
other device you have selected on the DR-3 remote, you can
always adjust the DS system volume, subwoofer level, mute and
surround mode functions.
To switch the DR-3 remote to operate the Digital Solution’s radio
tuner, push the FM/AM button.
2. The Macro button allows you to program a string of
remote commands to accomplish with one push of a button a
series of operations that would normally take several button
pushes. We strongly recommend that you set the MACRO to turn
on and off the Digital Solution system and DP-1 player together.
Let’s do that now, shall we?
1. Press and hold the CODE button within the bordered
“program” button group until the status light at the top
left of the remote glows red.
2. Press the DVD Source/Device button.
The DVD button will light up.
3. Press the MACRO button. The status light and
the DVD Source/Device button will blink once.
4. Press the System Power button.
5. Press the DVD source button at
the top of the remote.
6. Press the red Source power button at the bottom left
of the remote.
7. Press the SAVE button to store the commands. The red
status light and the DVD Source button lights will blink
twice and then turn off to confirm the program.
The Macro button can be used to do a lot of other convenient and
nifty things. See the separate DR-3 remote Owner’s Manual for
full Macro programming instructions.
3. Back lights the remote buttons for 8 seconds so you
can operate the remote in the dark. The function of this button
does not change when you enter program codes for other devices.
4. Mutes the sound of the Digital Solution system. To disen-
gage the mute function and go back to normal playback volume,
press the MUTE button again or press either of the VOLUME but-
tons. The function of this button does not change when you enter
program codes for other devices.
5. This button toggles between the various audio modes
of the Digital Solution system such as stereo, Dolby Pro-Logic,
5 Channel Surround, etc. The function of this button does not
change when you enter program codes for other devices.
6. These buttons control the volume of the Digital
Solution system. The function of these buttons
does not change when you enter program codes
for other devices.
7. With the Digital Solution system these buttons
step through the preset radio stations just like
the Radio Preset +/- rocker buttons on the DR-2
remote.
8. This button acts as a chapter skip button to move
you quickly back from the current DVD chapter to
the previous chapter or to skip backwards from track to track
on a CD.
9. This button acts as a chapter skip button to move
you quickly forward DVD chapters or to skip forward
from track to track on a CD.
10. This button acts as the pause/step frame
button for the DP-1 CD/DVD player. To return
to normal play, press the PLAY button. When the MULTI
source/device button gets pressed, enabling multi-zone remote
speaker use with the DS System, this button acts as the up arrow
navigation for the on-screen display for the Digital Solution pre-
amp/processor.
11. Each time you depress this button, the Polk
DP-1 plays in reverse a little faster. The first
push plays the disc backwards at 2X normal
speed. The second push of the button increases the
reverse play speed to 4X normal speed and so on to a maximum
of 100X normal speed. To resume normal playing direction and
speed press the ENTER button. When the MULTI source/device
button gets pressed, enabling multi-zone remote speaker use with
the DS System, this button acts as the left arrow navigation for
the on screen display of the Digital Solution preamp/processor.
