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 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 with the
unit front panel and with the GPI/O interface .
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 the front panel and the remote application at the same time.
However, you can use the GPI/O interface simultaneously with either the remote
application or direct control.
