Controlling the DP570
As shown in Figure 3‐1, you can control the DP570 in three ways:
• Directly, by pushing buttons on the front panel of the unit
• Remotely, using the DolbyRemote 570 software over a serial connection to a PC
• Remotely, using a hardware remote panel connected to the unit GPI/O connector
Figure 3-1 DP570 Control Options
Most users will control their units with the remote software, and most of this manual
focuses on this approach. This chapter gives summary instructions for
controlling the unit
from the unit front panel and via the GPI/O connector .
3.1 Using the Front-Panel Buttons
The eight buttons shown in Figure 3‐2 let you navigate the menus and select functional
parameters.
Note: Direct control and remote control using DolbyRemote 570 are mutually exclusive.
You cannot use both the front panel and the remote application at the same time.
However, you can use GPI/O simultaneously with the either the remote application
or direct control.
