Memory Preservation

This unit does not require memory preservation bat­teries. A built-in memory power back-up system pre­serves the contents of the memory during power
failures and even when the Power switch is set to off.
The Power switch must be set to on in order to charge
the back-up system.
The memory preservation period after the unit has
been turned off varies depending on climate and
placement of the unit. On the average, memory
contents are protected over a period of a few weeks
after the last time the unit has been turned off. This
period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a very
humid climate.

Connecting speakers

• If you want to use the surround effects, connect surround speakers. For the best results, connect a center

speaker.

• Use FRONT SPEAKERS B terminals to connect a second pair of front speakers.

• This receiver is designed to produce optimum sound quality when speakers with impedances within the speci-

fied ranges are connected. Please check the following information and choose speakers with appropriate
impedances for the connections.

FRONT SPEAKERS: A or B: 6 ohms min./speaker
SURROUND SPEAKERS: 6 ohms min./speaker
CENTER SPEAKER: 6 ohms min.

Positioning speakers

Speaker placement plays an important role in the repro­duction of Surround sound. The placement of the speak­ers varies depending on the size of the room and the wall
coverings used in the room. The illustration shows an
example of a layout for standard speaker placement.
Refer to this example when you position the speakers in
order to experience the best of Surround sound.

Standard speaker placement

For ideal Surround effects, all speakers should be
installed. If a center speaker or subwoofer is not con­nected, the sound from the unused channel is properly
distributed to the connected speakers in order to pro­duce the best Surround sound possible.

Front: The left, right, and center speakers should face the
seated listener and be placed at ear level. The center
speaker produces a richer sound image by enhancing
the perception of the sound’s source and movement.
Surround: Place the left and right Surround speakers
1 meter (3 feet) above the listener’s ear level and fac­ing toward the sides of the room, making sure that the
listener is within the speakers’ dispersion angle. These
speakers produce the feel of a moving sound while cre­ating the sensation of being in the middle of the action.
Subwoofer: Install a subwoofer with a built-in power ampli­fier for powerful bass sounds. The placement of the sub­woofer does not affect the final quality of the sound image
too much, so you can install it with the room layout in mind.

Refer to the speaker’s instruction manual for more details.

Connecting the FM indoor antenna:

The FM indoor antenna is for indoor use only. Extend the
antenna and move it in various directions until the
clearest signal is received. Fix it with push pins or similar
implements in the position that will cause the least
amount of distortion.
If the reception is not very clear with the attached FM
indoor antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is rec­ommended.

Remove the insulation at the tip of the cable, and insert
the cable securely, fully to the end of the exposed tip.

Connecting the AM loop antenna:

The AM loop antenna is for indoor use only. Set it in the
direction and position where you receive the clearest
sound. Put it as far away as possible from the unit, TVs,
speaker cables, and power cords.
When reception is not satisfactory with the attached
AM loop antenna alone, connection of an outdoor
antenna is recommended.

DTS (Digital Theater System) Surround

This 5.1-channel digital surround format enables you to
individually record and play five full-range (20Hz–20kHz)
channels (left and right front, center, two surround
channels) plus an LFE channel (Low Frequency Effect)
for the low-range effect sound. It will create a realistic
sound that could be heard in the theaters and concert
halls.
DOLBY DIGITAL: Select this option when you play a DVD
video that has a mark.
DTS: Select this option when you play a DVD player,
laser disc, or CD that has a mark.

DIGITAL

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

This surround format consists of four channels (left and
right front, center, and monaural surround channels)
and emphasizes the center channel. This format is very
effective for panning music, conversation, and three­dimensional sound movement output from three front
channels. It also simulates the atmosphere and sur­round effects of the sound reflected from the side and
rear walls of the theater. Select this option when you
play a VHS, VHS Hi-Fi, laser disc, or DVD video that has a

Integra’s listening modes

The DTR-5.1 offers the following special Integra listening
modes for the sources other than Dolby Digital and DTS
sounds.

ORCHESTRA: This mode is suitable for classics and
opera music. The center channel is cut and the sur­round channels are emphasized to widen the stereo
image. It will simulate a natural reverberation that
can be created in a large hall.

UNPLUGGED: This mode is suitable for acoustic instru­mental sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasiz­ing the front stereo image, it will simulate the
acoustics in front of the stage.

STUDIO-MIX: This mode is suitable for rock and popu­lar music. Lively sounds with a powerful acoustic
image will make you feel as if you are in a club.

TV LOGIC: This mode offers a realistic acoustics of a
TV program being aired in the TV studio. It enhances
the entire surround sound and clarity of conversation.

5CH STEREO: This mode is useful for background
music. The front and surround channels will create a
stereo image.

Notes on DTS

1. If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the
“ANALOG” setting is selected on the DTR-5.1, the DTS
encoded signal will not be decoded and noise will
be output. This noise could damage the amplifier
and speakers. Therefore, be sure to select “DIGITAL”
and use the digital input jacks (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) to
connect the DTS source. (Refer to “Assigning the digi­tal input/Selecting the input signal format” on page

18.)

2. If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the
“DIGITAL” setting is selected, you may hear a noise for
a short while until the DTS decoder recognizes the DTS
encoded signal and starts operating. This is not a mal­function.

3. If you press the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player
while playing a DTS source, a short noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.

4. The DTS indicator on the DTR-5.1 lights up while it plays
the DTS source. When playback concludes and the
DTS signal transmission stops, the DTR-5.1 remains in DTS
mode and the DTS indicator remains lit. This prevents
noise when you operate the PAUSE or SKIP button on
the player. Therefore, if the source switches from the
DTS signal to the PCM signal immediately, the PCM sig­nal may not be played. In this case, stop the playback
of the source on the player for about three seconds,
then resume playback.

5. Some CD players and LD players may be unable to
play DTS sources correctly even if you connect the
player to the DTR-5.1 digitally. This is because the digi­tal signal has been processed (such as the output
level, sampling frequency, frequency response, etc.),
and the DTR-5.1 cannot recognize the signal as DTS
data. Therefore, you may hear noise when you play a
DTS source while processing the signal.

6. The Rec Out jacks of the DTR-5.1 output analog audio.
Do not record CDs or LDs that support DTS using these
jacks. Otherwise, you will record a DTS encoded signal
as noise.

STEREO

Select this mode when you do not wish to use the sur­round mode. All input sound is output from the front
speakers.

LATE NIGHT

If you play a movie at a low volume at night, set this
parameter to “ON” to narrow the dynamic range of the
sound to make it easier to hear.
The Late Night function works only with source material
that contains necessary Dolby Digital information.

Note:

• The Late Night effect is determined by each Dolby Digi-

tal sound. Some sounds may produce no or little effect.

• The Late Night function is effective only on the Dolby

Digital sound.

While the Dolby Digital sound is playing, press the Late
Night/front Effect button. The current setting appears on
the display. (LATE NIGHT=ON or OFF)
Pressing the Late Night/front Effect button repeatedly
will toggle between ON and OFF.

FRONT EFFECT

Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation.
When you play these sources, more reverberation will
be applied by the DSP, creating too much reverb effects
and the sound loses its frame or presence. In this case,
set FRONT EFFECT to OFF. No reverberation from the DSP
will be applied to the sound output from three front
channels, and the sound source will be played as it is
without any further reverberation.

Note:

The Front Effect function is effective only on the Orches­tra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix, and TV Logic sound.
While Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix, or TV Logic is
selected for Listening mode, press the Late Night/front
Effect button. The current setting appears on the dis­play. (FRT EFFECT=ON or OFF)
Pressing the Late Night/front Effect button repeatedly
will toggle between ON and OFF.

Re-EQ
Cinema Re-Equalization

Re-Equalization takes the edginess or “brightness” out of
your home cinema sound, compensating for the fact
that sound mixed for theaters will sound too bright
when played back through speakers in the home envi­ronment.
While the Dolby Pro Logic Surround, Dolby Digital Sur­round, or DTS Surround sound is playing, press the Re-EQ
button. The current setting appears on the display. (RE­EQ=ON or OFF)
Pressing the Re-EQ button repeatedly will toggle
between ON and OFF.

Note:

The Re-EQ function is effective on the Dolby Pro Logic Sur­round, Dolby Digital Surround, and DTS Surround sound.

• The LFE Level Control function is effective only on the

Dolby Digital/DTS Surround sound.

• The LFE function may not be effective on some Dolby

Digital or DTS Surround sources.
Dolby Digital sound:
Press the LFE Level Control button repeatedly to select
0dB, –10dB, or –∞dB. “0dB” is recommended. If the low
range sounds too loud for your taste, select –10dB or
–∞dB.
DTS sound:

+10dB, 0dB, or –∞dB. “+10dB” is recommended for cinema
sound sources. If the low range sounds too loud for your
taste, select 0dB or –∞dB. “0dB” is recommended for music
sound source. If the low range sounds too loud for your
taste, select –∞dB.

Programming the remote controller codes
of other devices into the RC-424M

The RC-424M has two learning functions. One is a normal learning function that enables the RC-424M to learn other
remote controllers’ codes. The other is a macro learning function, which enables the RC-424M to learn a series of
codes already memorized in the remote controller into one MACRO button.

Programming procedure

Program the codes for each mode (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE, VCR, and TV).

RC-424M

1. Place the RC-424M and the remote controller for
another device, with 5–15cm (2–6 inches) apart and
the light-emitting parts facing each other.

2. While pressing and holding down the desired MODE
button on the RC-424M (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD, SAT,
CABLE, VCR, or TV), press the ENT button, then release
the buttons.

When you press and hold down one of the MODE
button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights up. When
you press the ENT button, the indicator turns off.
When you release the buttons, the SEND/LEARN indi­cator lights up again.

3. Press and release the desired operation button on
the RC-424M.

You may select any button within the rectangle shown
in the figure. When you press the button, the SEND/
LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the button,
the indicator lights up again.

4. Press and hold down the desired button on the
remote controller of the other device until the SEND/
LEARN indicator on the RC-424M flashes twice.

The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly, then
lights up.

5. Repeat Steps 3–4 to program other buttons in the
same MODE.

Repeat Steps 2-4 to program other buttons in a differ­ent MODE.

6. Press the MODE button to complete programming.

7. Operate the programmed button to make sure the
learning function works.

Note:

The remote controller codes for the Integra/Onkyo CD
player, DVD player, Onkyo tape deck and MD recorder
have already been programmed into the buttons on
the RC-424M. You may program other remote controller
codes into these buttons. If you wish to restore the Inte­gra/Onkyo preset codes after you program new codes,
erase the new codes. (See page 35.)

34

Note:

• The remote controller has 408 memory slots (51 but-

tons × 8 modes), although this number varies signifi­cantly depending on the manufacturers and types of
the remote controller you wish to program into the RC­424M. It is recommended that you determine which
button functions have priority for programming.

• If you do not press any button for more than 30 sec-

onds during the procedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator
flashes three times quickly, then the RC-424M exits
Learning mode. Resume Step 2.

• If you make a mistake during programming, the

SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly,
then the RC-424M exits Learning mode.

• If you try to program beyond the learning capacity

of the RC-424M, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six
times quickly, then the RC-424M exits Learning func­tion. Try programming in a button of other MODE.

• Follow the same procedure when you wish to program

new codes into the already-programmed buttons.

• This remote controller uses infrared rays. Most remote

controller codes can be memorized using the infra­red system; however, depending on the degree to
which the system differs, there may be some rare
occasions when memorization is not possible.

• Some remote controllers use a single button to per-

form different functions, with the function code
changing each time the button is pressed. If you are
using this kind of controller, please perform the
“learn” operations for each function individually to
store each function to a button on the RC-424M.

• For instructions regarding the operation of “learned” units,

please refer to the instruction manual for each product.

• Even after codes have been memorized, please

keep your old remote controller in a safe place. If the
memorized codes are lost when the batteries run
down, it will be necessary to memorize them once
again using the old remote controller.

• Make sure both the RC-424M and the product’s own

remote controller have fresh batteries. If either of
them has batteries that are wearing down, it may be
impossible to store the remote controller codes into
the RC-424M or the product may not respond prop­erly to the buttons on the RC-424M for which the
remote controller codes were stored into memory.
