PAL: The color TV system used in most of Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, and China.

Progressive scanning: TV pictures are made by scanning the screen in horizontal lines from top to bottom. With progressive scanning, each picture (frame) is made by scanning the entire screen in one go, resulting is a clearer and stabler picture. Contrast with Interlaced scanning.

S-Video: A video connection format that separates the luminance (Y) and color (C) signals, providing better picture quality than composite video.

Title: Movies on DVD-Video are called titles.

WMA (Windows Media Audio): A compressed file format for storing digital music.

Before Using the DPC-7.7

Installing the Remote Controller’s

Batteries

1

Open the battery compartment, as

 

 

shown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2

Insert the two supplied batteries (AA/

 

 

R6) in accordance with the polarity dia-

 

gram inside the battery compartment.

3

Close the battery compartment.

 

Notes:

If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try replacing both batteries.

Don’t mix new and old batteries, or different types of batteries.

If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent possible leakage and corrosion.

Flat batteries should be removed as soon as possible to prevent possible leakage and corrosion.

Using the Remote Controller

To use the remote controller, point it at the DPC-7.7’s remote control sensor, as shown below.

Notes:

The remote controller may not work reliably if the DPC-7.7 is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in mind when installing the DPC-7.7.

If another remote controller of the same type is used in the same room, or the DPC-7.7 is installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote controller may not work reliably.

Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote controller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvertently, thereby draining the batteries.

The remote controller may not work reliably if the DPC-7.7 is installed in a rack behind colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing the DPC-7.7.

The remote controller will not work if there’s an obstacle between it and the DPC-7.7’s remote control sensor.

Integra DPC-7.7 User Manual

Connecting the DPC-7.7

This chapter explains how to connect the DPC-7.7 to your other AV components.

Before Making Any Connections

Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.

Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed all audio and video connections.

Optical Digital Jack

The DPC-7.7’s optical digital jack has shutter-type cover that open when an optical plug is inserted and close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.

Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.

RCA/phono AV Connection Color Coding

RCA/phono AV connections are usually color coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect rightchannel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to connect composite video inputs and outputs.
