1. Read Instructions – All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings – All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Water and Moisture – Do not use the appliance near water – for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

6. Cleaning – Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet before cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned with a dry cloth or only as recommended by the manufacturer.

7. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. Do not use the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other such surface. Newspapers, table clothes, curtains, and other items can inadvertently block ventilation slots. Do not place the unit near curtains that could obstruct the ventilation. If you install the appliance in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is adequate ventilation. Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides and 10 cm (4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf or board above the appliance should be set 10 cm (4") away from the rear panel or wall, creating a ﬂue-like gap for warm air to escape.

8. Heat – The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including ampliﬁer) that produce heat.

9. Grounding or Polarization – The appliance may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will ﬁt into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to ﬁt, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not ﬁt into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

11. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards. Accessories – Do not place the appliance on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

12. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care to avoid injury from tip-over. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

13. Lightning – For added protection for the appliance during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.

14. Servicing – Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel.

Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the appliance form the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel under the following conditions: A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

appliance, C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water, D. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are

covered by the operating instructions as an improper

adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will

often require extensive work by a qualiﬁed technician to

restore the appliance to its normal operation, E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way,

and F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance

– this indicates a need for service.

15. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into the appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a ﬁre or electric shock. The appliance should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects ﬁlled with liquids, such as vases should be placed on the appliance. Don’t put candles or other burning objects on top of this unit.

16. Batteries – Always consider the environmental issues and follow local regulations when disposing of batteries.

About Home Theater

Enjoying Home Theater

The DTR-6.4/5.4 has many excellent features to recreate clear three-dimensional sound image and lively sound movement. This enables you to easily enjoy rich sound effects just like you were in a theater or concert hall at home. For the DTR-6.4, Integra recommends you to use the THX-certiﬁed THX speaker system for THX Surround EX playback. When playing DVD software, you can enjoy sound effects provided by DTS, Dolby Digital or THX (DTR-6.4 only) depending on recording formats. In addition, you can enjoy Integra’s proprietary DSP surround playback for TV or satellite broadcast.

How to use speakers

When you have two speakers, they are used for front left and right speakers. (2-channel playback) When you have three speakers, they are used for front left, front right and center speakers. (3-channel surround playback) When you have four speakers, they are used for front left, front right, surround left and surround right speakers. (4-channel surround playback) When you have ﬁve speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right speakers. (5-channel surround playback) When you have six speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right and surround back speakers. (6channel surround playback)

(For DTR-6.4 only)

When you have seven speakers and use a power ampliﬁer connected to the PRE OUT terminals on the DTR-6.4, the speakers are used for front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right, surround back left and surround back right speakers. (7-channel surround playback)

No matter how many speakers you use, subwoofer can be used to produce powerful and heavy bass sound. (0.1-channel playback)

Center speaker

Complements the sound effect from front left and right speakers to enrich and clear the sound image and movement. In movies, actor's speech mainly comes out from the center speaker. Place the center speaker as close as possible to the TV or monitor, pointing toward listener’s ears. Also keep the center speaker’s height as same level as possible to front left and right speakers.

Subwoofer

Outputs only bass sound to enhance and complement bass sound effect. Place the subwoofer at either front corner of the room or at 1/3 position from either front corner of the room.

Front left and right speakers

Output overall sound. They play most important role for home theater system, creating basic sound image and ﬁeld. Place the front speakers in front of the listener so that they point to listener’s ears in listening position for music and movies. Ideal speaker placement is that they are located symmetrically.

Surround back speaker

Enhance the sound space representation with surround channel signal, recreating sound movement effect and sound ﬁeld in the back of the listener more real.

For DTR-6.4 users: When you use two surround back speakers, you need to connect external stereo ampliﬁer to the PRE OUT terminals on the DTR-6.4.

Surround left and right speakers

Enhance the live presence. They represent the three-dimensional sound movement with sound effects. Place the surround speakers at the side of the listener or at the diagonal position from the listener. Ideal speaker placement is that they are located symmetrically.

• For optimum surround playback, you need to set the distance between the listener and speakers so that the time the sound from speakers reach the listener is constant. Also you need to set the speaker volume level individually for balancing the volume level between speakers. (See pages 52 and 53.)

Connecting your audio components

Below is an example of how you can connect your audio components to the DTR-6.4/5.4. Refer to the diagram above for the following connection examples.

1. Connecting a compact disc player (CD)

Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the compact disc player to the CD audio jacks of the DTR-6.4/5.4. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

If the compact disc player has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL IN COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL jack of the DTR-6.4/5.4 depending on the type of connector on the compact disc player.

With the initial settings of the DTR-6.4/5.4, the CD input source is set for digital input at the COAXIAL jack.

If the digital connection is made to a different jack, this must be changed at “Input Setup” → “Digital Input” (see page 34).

2. Connecting a turntable (PHONO) (DTR-6.4 only)

Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the turntable to the PHONO audio jacks of the DTR-6.4. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

Note:

The DTR-6.4 is designed for use with moving magnet cartridges. For proper operation, connect a ground (or earth) wire to the GND terminal. For some turntables, however, connecting the ground wire may cause increased noise, and in such a case, a ground wire is not necessary and should not be connected.

3. Connecting a cassette tape deck, MD recorder, DAT deck, or CD recorder (TAPE)

Using RCA audio cables, connect the output jacks (PLAY) of the device to the TAPE IN audio jacks of the DTR-6.4/5.4 and connect the input jacks (REC) of the device to the TAPE OUT audio jacks of the DTR-6.4/5.4. Make sure that you properly connect the left channels to the L jacks and the right channels to the R jacks.

If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL IN COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL IN OPTICAL jack of the DTR-

6.4/5.4 depending on the type of connector on the device.

With the initial settings of the DTR-6.4/5.4, nothing is allocated as the digital input source for TAPE (----).

If you connect the digital audio output, be sure to make the appropriate changes at “Input Setup” → “Digital Input” (see page

34).

If the device has a digital input, connect it to the DIGITAL OUT jack of the DTR-6.4/5.4 for digital recording of the signal from the digital input of the DTR-6.4/5.4.

Note:

The output from the DIGITAL OUT jack of the DTR-6.4/5.4 is only the digital signal input to the DIGITAL IN jack.

Connecting your video components

Below is an example of how you can connect your video components to the DTR-6.4/5.4. Refer to the diagram above for the following connection examples.

COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT

For DVD players or other devices that have component video connectors, the DTR-6.4/5.4 has two banks of component video input connectors (Y, P DTR-6.4/5.4 also has one bank of component video output connectors for direct component video output to the matrix decoder of a television, projector, or other display device. By sending the pure component video signal directly, the signal forgoes the extra processing that normally would degrade the image. The result is vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike colors and crisp detail.

VIDEO IN/OUT, S VIDEO IN/OUT

These are the video inputs and outputs. On the rear panel, there are four video inputs and two video outputs and each one includes both composite video and S video conﬁgurations. Connect VCRs, VTRs, LD players, DVD players, and other video components to the video inputs. Connect VCRs, VTRs, and other recording components to the video outputs to make video recordings.

• When connecting a VCR or other video component, make sure you connect its audio and video leads to the same bank (e.g., both to VIDEO 3).

• The VIDEO 4 inputs are located on the front panel.

The ﬂow of the video signals:

The signal that comes in from a VIDEO IN jack is sent to both the VIDEO OUT and S VIDEO OUT jacks. The signal that comes in from a S VIDEO IN jack is sent to both the S VIDEO OUT and VIDEO OUT jacks. It is not necessary to make both video and S video connections. The signal that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT is only sent to COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT. When connecting a

For USA and Canadian models (DTR-6.4 only)

The VIDEO and S VIDEO signals can be output through the COMPONENT OUT terminals. Even if the video component like VCRs does not have COMPONENT output terminals, you can play the video through a projector or TV connected to the COMPONENT OUTPUT terminals. If you want to output the VIDEO and S VIDEO signals through the COMPONENT OUT terminals, you need to set the “Component Video” setting in “Input Setup” to “Video” (see page 34).

4. Connecting a television monitor or projector (MONITOR OUT)

The DTR-6.4/5.4 is equipped with a simple Y/C separate circuit and simple Y/C mixed circuit. Since both the signal from the S and V inputs are output to the MONITOR OUT S output, if the television or projector is equipped with an S video input, it is unnecessary to connect the video connectors. If it is equipped with only a video input, connect it to the MONITOR OUT V output. Using an RCA video cable, connect the video input jack (composite) of the device to the MONITOR OUT V jack of the DTR-6.4/5.4. Or if the device has an S video input jack, connect it to the MONITOR OUT S jack of the DTR-6.4/5.4 using an S video cable. Or if the device has component video inputs, connect them to the bank of COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on the DTR-

6.4/5.4.

Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers

The DTR-6.4/5.4 allows you to listen to two separate input sources at the same time. This allows you to, for example, place speakers in two different rooms so that two or more people can enjoy two different kinds of music at the same time. The room where the DTR-6.4/5.4 is actually located is referred to as the main room while the separate room is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2). In addition, the IR IN terminal of the DTR-6.4/5.4 allows you to control the DTR-6.4/5.4 from the remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even though the remote zone is physically separated (see next page).

The DTR-6.4/5.4 provides you with the following three connection methods to use the remote zone (Zone 2). Choose a method according to your components or purposes.

When you want to enjoy music using the DTR-6.4/5.4 for the main room and the remote zone without additional ampliﬁers:

Connect the speakers for the remote zone to the ZONE2 SPEAKERS terminals. While you play something in the remote zone, only 2ch playback is available for the main room.

When you want to enjoy multichannel playback in the main room while playing something in the remote zone:

Connect the pre-main ampliﬁer to the LINE ZONE2 or PREOUT ZONE2 terminals and then connect the speakers to the pre-main ampliﬁer. For the PREOUT ZONE2 terminals, you may connect the power ampliﬁer instead of the pre-main ampliﬁer.

• When connecting to the LINE ZONE2 terminals: Since the

output level from the LINE ZONE2 terminals is ﬁxed, you have to adjust volume level on the pre-main ampliﬁer.

• When connecting to the PREOUT ZONE2 terminals: The

volume level adjustment can be made either on the DTR-6.4/5.4 or pre-main ampliﬁer.

When completing your connection, refer to “Enjoying music in the remote zone” on page 49.

When using the ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals

When using the ZONE 2 LINE OUT terminals

1. Connect the DTR-6.4/5.4 to the pre-main ampliﬁer for the remote zone.

Connect to the LINE input of the ampliﬁer (CD, tape, etc.).

2. Connect the remote zone speaker cables to the speaker terminals on the ampliﬁer.

3. Adjust the volume with the ampliﬁer.

The ZONE 2 LINE OUT terminals of the DTR-6.4/5.4 are of a ﬁxed output level.

controller signals (IR IN)

In order to use the remote controller to control the DTR-6.4/5.4 from a remote location, you will need to prepare a multi-room kit (sold separately) such as one of those given below:

• Onkyo’s Multi-Room System kit (IR Remote Controller Extension System)

• Multiroom A/V distribution and control system such as those from Niles

and Xantech®

If the remote controller signal does not reach the DTR-6.4/5.4 remote sensor

If the DTR-6.4/5.4 is located inside a cabinet or other enclosure where the infrared rays from the remote controller cannot enter, then operation with the remote controller will not be possible. In such a case, it will be necessary to install a remote sensor at a location outside of the cabinet where the infrared rays from the controller can reach.

With this connection, select “Main” at “Hardware Conﬁg” → “IR IN Position” (see page 32).

If the remote controller signal does not reach other components

In this situation, you will need to use a commercially available IR emitter. Connect the mini plug of the IR emitter to the IR OUT terminal on the DTR-6.4/5.4 and then place the IR emitter on the remote sensor of the component or facing it. When the IR emitter is connected, only the signal input to the IR IN terminal is output to the IR OUT terminal. The signal input from the remote sensor on the front of the DTR-6.4/5.4 will not be output to the IR OUT terminal.

The IR IN input allows you to control the DTR-6.4/5.4 from the remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even though the remote zone may be on the other side of the building from the main zone. The diagram below shows how to make the proper connections for the remote zone. With this connection, select “Zone 2” at “Hardware Conﬁg” → “IR IN Position” (see page 32).

Power off function

When the DTR-6.4/5.4 is placed in the standby state, all connected components are also automatically put into the standby state. Also, if you press the On button on the DTR-6.4/5.4 remote controller while the DTR-6.4/5.4 is turned on, all -connected components (DVD players, CD players, MD recorders, tuners, etc.) are also turned on.

Dimmer function

The Dimmer function (display brightness adjustment) of the DTR-

6.4/5.4 can be used to synchronize the display brightness on the connected device using the connection.

Caution:

If an MD recorder is connected to the TAPE jack on the DTR-6.4/

5.4, switch the Input Selector from TAPE to MD (see page 35).

DTR-6.4/5.4

connector

• If a component has two terminals, you can use either one to connect to the DTR-6.4/5.4. The other one can be used to daisy chain with another component.

• With Integra/Onkyo DVD players, you can enter the preprogram code so that you can operate the DVD player directly with the remote controller without connecting the terminals (see pages 66 and 67).

RS232

The RS232 port is to be used in conjunction with an external controller to control the operation of the DTR-6.4/5.4 by using an external device.

A-BUS

A-BUS is a simple, efﬁcient, elegant audio distribution system. The wiring installation time is signiﬁcantly reduced as only a single CAT-5 wire is run to each location. A-BUS is easy to use, reliable, affordable, and most of all, far better sounding than conventional autoformer based volume controls.

ZONE 2 OUT: Use a CAT-5 (eight conductor twisted) cable to connect directly from the receiver’s A-BUS RJ45 Hub to an A-BUS keypad.

Warning:

DO NOT connect A-BUS outputs to any computer or network connections (i.e. ethernet). It will cause damage to the computer or network components as 24-volt power runs on this same cable to power the ampliﬁer stages of the ampliﬁer module.

IR OUT: Another feature of the A-BUS system is the ability to control source equipment in another room where the A-BUS module is installed. If you wish to control another source from the receiver at the A-BUS keypad by remote control, connect A-BUS or another brands' IR emitter on the receiver's 40 k terminal. Then place the emitter on the remote receiver on the front panel. Typically, the emitter will work when you connect with a 40 K connector. If it does not work, try a 56 K connector.

DC IN: Connect A-BUS power supply. Do not use any other AC Adapter on this connector as it may cause severe damage to the receiver.

Ex: Integra/Onkyo CD player

connector

Ex: Onkyo cassette tape deck

To connect components using the terminal, simply connect a remote control cable from this terminal to the terminal of the other component. An remote control cable with a 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) miniature two-conductor plug comes with every cassette tape deck, compact disc player, MD recorder, and DVD player that has an terminal.

• When performing operations with -connected components using the system, do not use the remote zone (Zone 2) .

• For remote control operation, the audio connection cables

must also be connected.

12V TRIGGER OUT

12V TRIGGER OUT A/B

These terminals are provided so that you can use the operation of the DTR-6.4/5.4 control the operation of another externally connected device. Connect the component to this 1/8-inch mini-jack terminal and when the set input source is selected, the device will turn on. Set the 12V TRIGGER terminal using the Setup menu: Input setup → 12V trigger (see page 34).

12V TRIGGER OUT ZONE 2

When the DTR-6.4/5.4 is in the ZONE 2 mode, this terminal outputs at 12 V/100 mA.

Turning on the power from the remote controller

Before you can use the remote controller, you must perform step 1 above and place the DTR-6.4/5.4 in the standby state.

1. Press the RCVR Mode button.

The RCVR Mode button lights.

2. Press the On button to turn on the DTR-6.4/5.4 (take it out of the standby state).

To return the DTR-6.4/5.4 to the standby state, press the Standby button.

Memory preservation

The DTR-6.4/5.4 does not require memory preservation batteries. A built-in memory backup system preserves the contents of memory (e.g., speaker settings and surround settings) during power failures and even when the unit is unplugged. The unit must be plugged in order to charged the back-up system. The length of time that the memory will be preserved will vary depending on the ambient climate. On the average, memory contents are protected over a period of a few weeks after the last time the unit has been unplugged. This period may be shorter when the unit is exposed to a highly humid climate.

When the headphones are unplugged, the DTR-6.4/5.4 returns to its original listening mode. When using the headphones, you can only use the Direct, Stereo, and Pure Audio (DTR-6.4 only) listening modes. If you have selected multichannel audio, you will only hear the sound output to the front right and left channels.

The headphone volume level can be adjusted at the Setup Menu (see page 58).

Using the sleep time (remote controller only)

The Sleep button enables you to set the DTR-6.4/5.4 to turn off automatically after a speciﬁed time period. If you press it once, the DTR-6.4/5.4 will turn off after 90 minutes. Each time it is pressed thereafter, this remaining time until the DTR-6.4/5.4 turns off decreases by 10 minutes (i.e., from 90 to 80 minutes). While the sleep function is enabled, you can press the Sleep button to see how much time is left. If the Sleep button is pressed when the time displayed is less than 10 minutes, the sleep function is cancelled.

If you are using the remote zone (Zone 2), it will turn off at the same time as the main zone. If you want to set the sleep function for Zone 2 only, set the sleep function with the main zone turned on and then put the main zone into the standby state.

Adjusting the brightness of the front display

You can adjust the brightness of the front display of the DTR-6.4/

5.4 using the Dimmer button on the remote controller or on the DTR-6.4/5.4 front panel.

Note:

The signal to the remote zone (Zone 2) will not be affected by whether or not headphones are connected

Auto (automatic detection): With this setting, the DTR-6.4/5.4 automatically detects whether the input signal is digital or analog. When a digital signal is not input, then the analog signal is played. This setting only appears if a digital input is selected for the Digital Input setting at “Input Setup” → “Digital Input” (see page 34).

Multich (Multichannel): Select this setting to play back the multichannel input from a DVD player with a 5.1-channel input port.

Analog: Select this setting to play back the input from a source component connected to analog audio input jacks. With this setting, even if a digital signal is input from the same component, only the analog signal will be output.

Selecting the setting mode with the Cursor / button while “Auto” appears

Auto: The digital signal suitable for the input signal will be preceded for playback. When there is no digital signal input, analog signal will be played.

DTS: Select this if you play DTS-formatted CD in “Auto” mode and hear noise during fast-forward or rewind operation. Non-DTS sound input will not be output.

PCM: Select this if you hear sound gap between PCM tracks such as ones on CD in “Auto” mode. Non-PCM sound input will not be output.

Notes:

• When you play DTS-formatted CD or LD, be sure to select “Auto” or “DTS.” If you select “PCM,” noise will be heard.

Notes on DTS:

• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when the “PCM” setting is selected on the DTR-6.4/5.4, 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 “Auto” or “DTS” and use the digital input jacks (OPT or COAX) to connect the DTS source.

• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when “Auto” 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.

• 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. In such cases, try playing the source in the “DTS” selected.

• The DTS indicator on the DTR-6.4/5.4 lights while a DTS source is played. When playback ﬁnishes and the DTS signal transmission stops, the DTR-6.4/5.4 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 is immediately switched from DTS to PCM, the PCM signal may not be played. In this case, stop the playback of the source on the player for about three seconds and then resume playback.

• You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from certain CD players and LD players even when you connect the player to the DTR-6.4/5.4 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the DTR-6.4/5.4 cannot recognize the signal as DTS data. Therefore you may hear noise when you play a DTS source while processing the signal.

• The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, and TAPE OUT output analog audio signals. Do not record from CDs or LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTSencoded signal will be recorded as noise.

• If a CD or LD encoded in the DTS format is played back with “PCM” selected, only noise will be produced. Always select “Auto” or “DTS” when playing back DTS-encoded sources.

Listening Modes

The DTR-6.4/5.4’s surround sound enables you to enjoy the presence of a movie theater or concert hall in your room. The conﬁguration of the speakers is very important for the surround sound. Refer to “About Home Theater” on page 14.

Before using a listening mode, make sure the Speaker Conﬁg has been set (see page 33). Once the parameters have been set, it is not necessary to set them again. For getting accurate surround effect, you are recommended to perform the settings on the Speaker Distance and Level Calibration (see pages 52 to 55). See pages 46 and 47 for information regarding how to select the listening mode.

Listening Modes

Mono

This mode is for playing old movies where the sound is recorded in monaural or for playing the left and right channels of movies separately that contain different language signals. This mode also allows you to listen to the multiplexed soundtracks on DVDs, and other media that have them.

Direct

This mode delivers pure sound with minimum sound quality adjustment and ﬁltration. The sound recorded for the right and left front channels is output to the right and left front speakers only and not output to the subwoofer.

Pure Audio (DTR-6.4 only)

Same as the direct mode except that the pure audio mode also turns off the display window, turns off the power supply to the video circuitry, and minimizes the sources of noise. The result is highﬁdelity music playback true to the original source.

Stereo

All input sound is output from the left and right front speakers. The subwoofer is also used for playback.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional)

For the best enjoyment of your home theater, it is recommended that you have front left and right speakers, a center speaker, and surround left and right speakers. However, if you only have front left and right speakers, you can enjoy multichannel audio by using this mode.

This mode controls the characteristics of the sound that reaches each ear to reproduce a multi-speaker setup. To receive the full effect, there is an optimum listening position (sweet spot). Refer to the explanation of the listening angle. In addition, if the reﬂective sound components are large, it may be difﬁcult to achieve the desired result, so be sure to set up your system and listening position to minimize reﬂective sound.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Opposed to Dolby Pro Logic, which had four channels (front, left, center, and surround) recorded into two channels with matrix processing and then played back in four channels, Dolby Pro Logic II uses a feedback logic circuit to have 5.1-channel surround audio (Dolby Surround, etc.) matrix-encoded into two channels and then played back in its original 5.1-channel form.

Dolby Pro Logic II provides a Movie mode designed for playing movies and a Music mode designed for listening to music. In the Movie mode, the surround channels, which used to provide monaural output over only a narrow frequency range, now provide complete stereo output over the full frequency range. The result is movie viewing with a realistic feel of movement. The Music mode uses the surround channels to provide a natural soundﬁeld that cannot be provided with normal stereo output.

This mode can be used with VHS and DVD videos with the

mark and certain television programs. The Music mode can be used with music compact discs and other stereo sources.

Dolby D (Dolby Digital)

This mode is used for playing Dolby Digital sources. Dolby Digital is compressed digital data with a maximum of 5.1channel surround sound. This source signal comes from DVDs and LDs that have the mark and therefore recorded for 5.1channel output.

• Dolby Digital EX

Enabled when playing back sources with surround tracks that were encoded using the Surround EX technology.

• Dialog norm

Dialogue Normalization (Dialog Norm) is a feature of Dolby Digital. When playing back software that has been encoded in Dolby Digital, sometimes you may see a brief message in the front panel display that reads Dialog Norm xdB (“x” being a numeric value). Dialogue Normalization serves to let you know if the source material has been recorded at a higher or lower level than usual. This data is automatically used by the Dolby Digital decoder to adjust the output volume of the source material without affecting the volume of your ampliﬁer. Therefore, even if source material volume changes, you will not have to adjust the volume on your ampliﬁer.

DTS Neo:6

This mode is for 6.1-channel playback of sources such as PCM or analog sources that have only two channels. The outputs of all six channels are a wide frequency range with a great separation between the different channels.

This mode can be set to the Cinema mode designed for playing movies and the Music mode designed for listening to music.

The Cinema mode is good for movies. The reproduced surround sound provide the same realistic feel of movement as 6.1-channel sources. This mode can be used with VHS and television programs with stereo sound.

The Music mode uses the surround channels to provide a natural sound space that cannot be provided with normal stereo output. This mode can be used with music CDs and other stereo sources.

DTS

This mode is used for playing DTS source. DTS (Digital Theater System) is compressed digital data with a maximum 5.1-channel surround output (6.1-channel with DTS-ES Discrete sources) that allows for an extremely high-quality sound. This source signal requires a DVD player that supports DTS output and comes from DVDs, compact discs, and LDs that have the mark.

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1

With the addition of the surround back channel, this new format has all 6.1 channels recorded independently for a completely discrete digital format. Since all channels are recorded independently, high-ﬁdelity surround playback with the increased feeling of a separated sound space is achieved.

DTS-ES Matrix 6.1

This format has the surround back channel matrix encoded and inserted into the left and right surround channels so that at playback the output for the left, right, and back surround channels are decoded using a high-precision matrix decoder.

DTS 96/24

Automatically changes to this mode when playing back sources with surround tracks that were encoded using the DTS 96/24 technology.

THX (DTR-6.4 only)

THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by the world-renowned ﬁlm production company, Lucasﬁlm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas’ personal desire to make your experience of the ﬁlm soundtrack, in both movie theaters and in your home theater, as faithful as possible to what the director intended. Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theaters called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theaters with similar equipment and conditions. This same soundtrack is then transferred directly onto LD, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for playback in a small home theater environment. THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from the movie theater environment into the home, correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. On this product, when the THX indicator is on, THX features are automatically added in Cinema modes (e.g. THX Cinema, THX Surround EX).

• THX Cinema

This is the conventional 5.1-channel THX mode. This mode should be used only when playing back sources that were mixed for playback in large movie theater environments.

Page 45

Listening Modes

• THX Surround EX

“THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX” is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of THX Ltd. In a movie theater, ﬁlm soundtracks that have been encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right, surround right, surround left, and subwoofer channels. This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience, and sound localization than ever before. When released to the home consumer market, movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX technology, may have a note to that effect on the packaging. A list of movies created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web site at http://www.dolby.com. The DTR-6.4 can play the 5.1-channel sources in THX surround EX mode, even if the source is not encoded in Dolby Digital Surround EX format. In this case, the sound actually output from the surround back channels depends on the source and may not ﬁt your tastes.

Integra-speciﬁc surround modes (DSP)

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for playing back monaural recording such as old movie soundtracks. The center channel delivers the unprocessed original sound, whereas the other channels deliver the center-channel

sound processed with the appropriate reverberation. This allows you to enjoy monaural sound with the atmosphere of a movie theater.

Enhance

With multi channel speakers, you will get more active surround effect. When using the surround back speaker, the sound effect moves naturally through the surround back speaker position. This mode is good for music and TV sports programs.

Orchestra

This mode is appropriate for classical and opera music. The center channel is cut and the surround channels are emphasized to widen the stereo image. It will simulate the natural reverberation that is created in large halls.

Unplugged

This mode is suitable for acoustical instrumental sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it will simulate the acoustics that you would experience in front of the stage.

Studio-Mix

This mode is for rock and popular music. The lively sounds are enhanced for a powerful acoustic image that simulates the feeling of being in a club or rock concert.

TV Logic

This mode gives realistic acoustics to TV programs that are aired from TV studios. It enhances the entire surround sound and clarity of the conversation.

All Ch Stereo

This mode is designed for playing background music. The front, surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that encompasses the entire area.

Setting the speaker distance from your normal listening position

Set the distance between the listening position and the speakers. Setting the speaker distance equates the time the sound will take to reach the listening position from each speaker, resulting in more comfortable home theater experience. The settings you made are retained also during standby state.

Each speaker can be set between 1 and 30 feet (0.3 and 9 meters) in 1-foot (0.3 meter) increments. Select the setting closest to the actual distance from the speaker to your normal listening position.

Notes:

• Speakers that you selected “No” or “None” for in the “Speaker Conﬁg” menu will be disabled.

• When the difference between the speaker distance values is bigger (ex. when the front speakers are far from the listening position and the surround speakers are extremely close to the listening position), the setting values for the speaker distance may automatically changed.*

* For the front L/R, center and subwoofer speakers, the speaker distance values you can set will be between the current maximum value(s) among all speakers and the values 10 feet (3 meters) lower than the current maximum value(s). For example, if the current maximum value is 30 feet (9 meters), the speaker distance values you can set will be between 20 feet (6 meters) and 30 feet (9 meters).

For the surround and surround back speakers, the speaker distance values you can set will be between the current maximum value(s) among all speakers and the values 20 feet (6 meters) lower than the current maximum value(s).

Whenever you set the speaker distance value for any one of the speakers, if you enter any values higher than the current maximum value, the value you enter will be the new maximum value and any other speaker distance values you already set will automatically be adjusted to the values so that they keep the same value difference to the new maximum value as the one to the last maximum value.

Conﬁguring the speakers (DTR-6.4)

Calibrating the speaker levels

Use this menu to set the volume for each speaker so that each volume is heard by the listener at the same level. This is especially important for speaker layouts where the left and right speakers are at different distances or in asymmetrical positions due to room designs and conﬁgurations. These settings and the distance settings performed in the Speaker Distance menu are vital to create the proper sound space and dynamics.

• These settings cannot be made when the sound is muted, when you connect the headphones, and when you use multichannel playback.

• This unit supports the THX format and the test tone is output at standard 0 dB (the Absolute Volume value is 82). If you usually

enjoy listening at lower level than the test tone, be careful of the test tone’s sudden big sound. Note that the test tone will be

output immediately after pressing the ENTER button in the step 1 below.

1. Use the and cursor buttons to select “4. Level Calibration” on the main menu and then press the ENTER button.

Adjusting the volume differences between components (Intelligent Volume)

This setting allows you to adjust for the volume differences between your various input source components. When switching input sources, you may ﬁnd that the output level for different components or input sources connected to the DTR-

6.4/5.4 is different even though the main volume setting is the same. Under normal circumstances, you would then have to change the volume setting each time you change the input source. This Intelli Volume setting allows you to preset a volume level for each input source separately so that when you do switch from one input source to another, the DTR-6.4/5.4 adjusts the volume accordingly and the volume stays the same.

Double Bass

The Double Bass function boosts the bass sound by letting the bass sound of “Front L/R” speakers output also from the subwoofer. To enable this function, in the “Speaker Conﬁg” menu, set the “Subwoofer” to “Yes” and “Front L/R” to “Large.”

Note:

Double Bass “Off” is the THX preferred setting for accurate bass reproduction.

On: Select to turn on the Double Bass function. Off: Select to turn off the Double Bass function.

Setting available when you play Dolby Digital format signal

Late Night

The audio for movies made for the cinema have a large dynamic range; thus, the difference between loud noises and soft noises is great. To hear the quieter sounds such as background noises or human conversations, the movie must be played back at larger volumes. When this setting is set to “High” or “Low,” the dynamic range of the sound is narrowed down to allow you to easily hear minute sounds at low volumes. This function is especially useful if you wish to play a movie at low volumes during the nighttime.

This can be set to either “Off” or “Low,” or “High.” When this setting is set to “High” or “Low,” the dynamic range of the sound is narrowed down to allow you to easily hear minute sounds at low volume.

Off: Select to turn off the Late Night function. Low: Select to narrow down the dynamic range. High: Select to further narrow down the dynamic range.

Note:

The depth of the Late Night effect is determined by Dolby Digital software. With some sources, it may produce little or no effect.

Setting available when you play Dolby Digital or DTS format signal

LFE Level (DTR-6.4 only)

The level can be adjusted to either –∞ or between –10 and 0 decibels in 1-decibel increments. For Dolby Digital and DTS input source signals, the LFE level set here is used. A setting of 0 decibels is recommended for optimum performance; however, if the source is recorded with the low frequency range too strong, lower this setting as necessary.

Settings available when you set “DTS Neo:6” for your listening mode

Center Image

DTS Neo:6 derives a center channel from two-channel PCM and analog sources. In cinema mode, for Lt/Rt ﬁlm soundtracks, sounds steered to the center are subtracted from the left and right channels. In music mode, the intent in the front channels is less one of steering and more one of stabilizing the front image by augmenting it with a center channel, while preserving the original perspective of the stereo mix. Therefore the derived center is never fully subtracted from the left and right channels.

Center Image is the factor controlling the amount of subtraction. It varies between 0 and 5 in steps of 1 and the default value is 3. When Center Image=5, the factor is zero and nothing is subtracted from the left and right channels. When Center Image=0, the center channel is subtracted from the left and right channels at half level (–6 dB) for each channel. The signal level sent to the center channel output is not affected by Center Image.

This control should be set based on room layout and personal preferences. A setting of 5 allows the left and right channels to pass through unaltered from the stereo mix. A setting of 0 gives more center channel dominance, which is particularly desirable if listeners are located well off-center. At any setting, the center speaker anchors the image.

Settings available when you set “Dolby Pro Logic II Music” for your listening mode

Pro Logic II Music Panorama (Panorama)

Use this setting to extend the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting wraparound effect with side wall imaging.

On: Select to turn on the PL II Music Panorama mode. Off: Select to turn off the PL II Music Panorama mode.

Pro Logic II Music Dimension (Dimension)

Use this setting to gradually adjust the soundﬁeld forward or backward. The setting of “3” is the normal position. Change the setting to “2” or lower to move the sound space forward setting to “4” or higher to move the sound space backward.

If the stereo recording has excessive broadness or too strong surroundness, move the sound space forward to get the appropriate sound balance. In contrast, if the stereo recording is somewhat felt like monaural or has narrowness, move the sound space backward to get more surroundness.

Pro Logic II Music Center Width (Center Width)

In Pro Logic II decoding, center signals are output from the center speaker. When the center speaker is not used, the decoder will divide the center signal equally to both the front left and right speakers to create a “phantom” center sound image.

The Pro Logic II Music Center Width mode allows you to adjust from where the center sound image is heard. Using this, you can have the soundﬁeld be heard from the center speaker only, from the front left and right speakers only (as a phantom center sound image), or from all three speakers (center, front left and right) in various level combinations. For home use, applying some width to the center signal will improve the level balance for the center and main speakers, and effect the width of the center sound image, or “weight” of the sound. Many sound recordings processed for stereo playback will be reproduced better by proper control of this setting. The recommended setting for Pro Logic II Music mode is “3.” This allows you to easily distinguish the Pro Logic II Music mode from the Pro Logic II Movie mode whose setting is automatically set to “0.”

Settings available when you set an Integra-speciﬁc surround mode for your listening mode

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 frame or presence. In this case, set this setting to “Off” so that no reverberation from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from the three front channels. With this setting, the sound source is played as it is without any further reverberation.

Page 61

Audio Adjust

Reverb Level

This setting allows you to adjust the depth of acoustic reverberation to match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room, and such other factors. Select from the three settings “Low,” “Mid,” and “High.”

Reverb Time

Adjust the reverb time to match the source being played back and the acoustics of the room. Select from the three settings “Short,” “Mid,” and “Long.”

Settings available when you play monaural signal

Academy Filter (DTR-6.4 only)

Older monaural ﬁlm mixes relied on high-frequency rolloff in presentation to sound properly balanced, so that excessive hiss from the grain structure of the ﬁlm would not be heard. The highfrequency loss was typically due to a combination of optical slit loss, electrical ﬁlters, loudspeaker response, and screen loss. Some ﬁlms have been transferred to video without such a high-frequency rolloff, and thus sound overly bright and hissy. The DTR-6.4 includes this “Academy ﬁlter,” which is based on contemporary playback practices for such ﬁlms over wide-range systems. This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”

Input Channel

This allows you to set the way in which the stereo audio signal is output in the “Mono” listening mode.

Auto L+R: Select this under normal circumstances. When the input source is center channel, this center channel is used as the monaural sound input channel. Otherwise, the left and right channels are mixed and the mixed signal is used as the monaural sound input channel.

Left/Right: You will need to select either left or right when playing a video source that contains bilingual data. In such a case, the left and right channels will contain the audio for different languages. Select the channel with the language you desire.

speaker levels and speaker distances among the front right, front left, and center speakers are matched. In order to ensure this, make sure that the settings in the Speaker Distance Sub-menu and Level Calibration sub-menu are set correctly.)

On: Select to have the center channel signal output to the center speaker.

Off: Select to have the center channel signal output to the front left and right speakers (Phantom Center).

Front Expander

The front expander function spreads out the stereo image in front of the listener. The created stereo image is as if the front speakers have been farther apart for the feeling of a wide sound space. This is especially useful for narrow listening angles of 20 degrees or less.

On: Select to turn on the front expander function to simulate a wider sound space.

Off: Select to turn off the front expander function for a normal sound space.

Virtual Surr Level

This setting adjusts the level of the virtual surround signal. This can be set from –3 to +3 decibels. Lowering this setting can improve the sound when the deﬁnition is unclear or when the sound feels unnatural.

Dialog Enhance

If the dialog from the center channel is difﬁcult to hear in the Theater-Dimensional mode, use this setting to improve the clarity.

On: Select to enhance the vocal ranges of the center channel signal.

Off: Select to output the center channel signal at the regular level and frequency characteristics.

Settings available when you set “Theater-Dimensional” for your listening mode

Listening angle

The listening angle is the angle subtended by the front left and right speakers as seen from the listener. The processing for the virtual surround will be based on this angle. In the Theater-Dimensional mode, the setting of 20 and 40 degrees are only for nominal purposes, so select the setting that is closest to your actual listening angle.

Front left speaker Front right speaker

Listening angle

Center

If the speaker system has a center speaker, the center channel signal can be output from the center speaker. For instance, in systems where the front left and right speakers are small, use of the center speaker may provide a better sound space and reduce the load on the front speaker. (For the proper soundﬁeld, it is important that the

With some brand’s components, some buttons may not work correctly. In this case, program the command directly from the other remote controller normally (see page 70).

Learning a pre-programming code

By entering a pre-programming code, you can have the RC-534M/ 517M remote controller operate a component made by another manufacturer. The buttons that are used for operation are given on the next page.

1. Find the 3-digit number listed for the manufacturer name of the component that you want to operate in the table on the next page.

2. Turn on the component that you want to operate (i.e. DVD, satellite tuner, or television).

3. While holding down the Mode button on the RC-534M/ 517M that you want to program, press the Display button, and then release both buttons.

The Send/Learn indicator lights when the Mode button is pressed and turns off when the Display button is pressed. When the indicator turns off, release both buttons. The Send/Learn indicator lights again.

4. Within 30 seconds, enter the 3-digit code number.

The Send/Learn indicator slowly ﬂashes twice. If the Send/ Learn indicator quickly ﬂashes three times, then either a mistaken 3-digit code was entered or an incorrect operation was performed. If this occurs, return to step 3.

5. Press the button that you programmed and check if the system operates correctly.

• If the component does not operate properly, return to step 3 and repeat the steps above.

• If it still does not operate properly, program the command directly from the other remote controller normally (see page

70).

When entering the code of Integra/Onkyo DVD players:

There are three SETTING numbers. Choose the SETTING number according to how you will be using the DVD player.

No. 601/613: These codes are for operating the Integra/Onkyo DVD player by pointing the remote controller directly at it, either because it does not have an terminal, or it does but you are not connecting it with an cable. First enter 601 and if it does not operate properly, enter 613.

No. 600: This code is for Integra/Onkyo DVD players that have an

terminal that you are connecting to the DTR-6.4/5.4 with an cable. You will then operate the DVD player by pointing the remote controller at the remote control sensor on the DTR-6.4/5.4. You do not need to enter this code because it is factory preset. However, if the code has been changed to 601 or 613, then you will need to change it back to 600.

When programming the commands of another remote controller to the RC-534M/517M remote controller, you must ﬁrst decide under which Mode button you want the commands to be linked. In general, you will select the Mode button that corresponds to the component you are programming. For example, if you are programming the functions from a remote controller for a compact disc player, you would choose the CD Mode button. Then, by pressing the CD Mode button, the buttons on the RC-534M/517M remote controller will change to the commands you program here to operate the compact disc player. After programming which Mode button to use, you will then transfer the separate commands from the other remote controller over to the RC-534M/517M remote controller one at a time. Each command is then programmed to a different button on the RC534M/517M remote controller. Any button is programmable for this step except for the eight Mode buttons (RCVR, CD, DVD, SAT/ MD, TV, VCR, and Cable), the two Macro buttons (1 and 2), and the Light button (RC-534M only). Even after the commands have been memorized, keep your old remote controller in a safe place. If for some reason the commands are lost (e.g., when the batteries run down), it will be necessary to memorize them once again.

1. Place the remote controller and the remote controller for the other device facing each other at a distance of 2 to 6 inches (5 to 15 cm) apart.

The Send/Learn indicator lights when the Mode button is pressed and turns off when the ENTER button is pressed. When the indicator turns off, release both buttons. The Send/Learn indicator lights again.

3. Press and release the button on the remote controller to which you want to transfer the next command.

You may select any button excluding the eleven ones indicated in the ﬁgure below. When you press the button, the Send/Learn indicator turns off. When you release the button, the indicator lights again. If you press the wrong button by mistake, press that same button again. The Send/Learn indicator ﬂashes twice, and the remote controller exits the programming mode.

Programming the commands of remote controllers for other devices into the remote controller

4. Press and hold down the button (that corresponds to the command you are programming) on the remote controller of the other device until the Send/Learn lamp on the remote controller ﬂashes twice.

After ﬂashing twice, the Send/Learn indicator will light again.

5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to transfer all the commands you desire from the other remote controller and program them to buttons on the remote controller under the same Mode.

Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to program commands to a different Mode (e.g., when programming from a different remote controller).

6. Press the Mode button that you pressed in step 2 to complete the programming.

7. Operate the newly programmed buttons to make sure the learning function was performed properly.

Notes:

• The remote controller codes for Integra/Onkyo compact disc players, cassette tape decks, DVD players, and mini disc recorder have already been programmed into buttons on the remote controller. You may, however, use these buttons to program the codes for other remote controllers. If you wish to restore the Integra preset codes after you program new codes, you must ﬁrst erase the new codes.

• The remote controller has 357 memory slots (7 modes × 51 buttons). Some remote controllers may have more commands that can be remembered by the remote controller. In such cases, it will be necessary for you to determine which commands are more important than others.

• If the Send/Learn indicator quickly ﬂashes three times and turns off, then the remote controller has exited the programming mode because either you have made a mistake during programming or a time-out has occurred because no button has been pressed. Resume from Step 2.

• If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the remote controller, the Send/Learn indicator ﬂashes six times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Try programming under a different Mode button.

• When you want to program a command to a button to which you have already programmed a command, simply follow the same procedure given and the previous programming for that button will be overwritten.

• The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its commands, as do most other remote controllers. Though most remote controller codes can be memorized by the remote controller, be aware that some remote controllers use systems that are quite different from the remote controller and therefore may not be able to be programmed.

• Some remote controllers have a single button that performs multiple functions (for example, the function may change each time the button is pressed). If this is the case, each function must be programmed to a separate button on the remote controller.

• Once you have transferred the commands from the other remote controller, refer to the instruction manual that came with that product for instructions on how to operate that product.

• Make sure both the remote controller and the other remote controller have new batteries. If either of them has batteries that are low, you may not be able to program the commands of the other remote controller properly into the remote controller.

Erasing the programmed command from one button

You can only erase memorized commands and not preset ones.

1. Press and hold down the Mode button for the command, press the ENTER button, and then release both buttons.

When you press the Mode button, the Send/Learn indicator lights. When you press the ENTER button, the lamp turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp lights again.

2. Press and release the button for the command you wish to erase.

When you press the button, the Send/Learn indicator turns off. When you release the button, the lamp lights again.

3. Press and release the same button again.

The Send/Learn lamp slowly ﬂashes twice. The memorized command is erased.

Note:

If the Send/Learn indicator quickly ﬂashes three times and turns off, then the remote controller has exited the erasing mode because either you have made a mistake during erasing or a time-out has occurred because no button has been pressed. Resume from Step 1.

Erasing all the commands programmed under a Mode button

1. Press and hold down the desired Mode button, press the ENTER button twice, and then release both buttons.

When you press the Mode button, the Send/Learn indicator lights. When you press the ENTER button, the lamp turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp slowly ﬂashes twice and then lights again.

2. Press and release the same Mode button again.

When you release the button, the Send/Learn indicator slowly ﬂashes twice. This erases all the commands memorized to the Mode button.

Notes:

• If the Send/Learn indicator quickly ﬂashes three times and turns off, then the remote controller has exited the erasing mode because either you have made a mistake during erasing or a time-out has occurred because no button has been pressed. Resume from Step 1.

• If many commands have been programmed to the Mode button, then the Send/Learn indicator may remain lit for up to 20 seconds during Step 2. This is not a malfunction.

Page 72

Using the macro function

What is the macro function?

A macro function enables you to program a series of button operations (up to 16) on the remote controller into a single button. The series of operations are then called a macro. For example, to play a compact disc player connected to the DTR-6.4/5.4 normally, you must perform the following steps:

1. Press the RCVR Mode button.

2. Press the On button.

3. Press the CD (Input Selector) button.

4. Press the CD Mode button.

5. Press the playback ( ) button.

By using the macro function, you can perform the above ﬁve operations by only pressing one button.

Tips:

• If you erase or change the command of a button programmed in the macro, that operation of that button will no longer work in the macro. In this case, it will be necessary for you to reprogram the macro in order to avoid incorrect operation.

• The codes programmed into the macro will be transmitted at an interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some devices may not be able to complete one operation in 0.5 seconds and may miss the next code. In this case, after pressing one operation button, you can press the same Mode button again before pressing the next operation button to add another 0.5 seconds between the two operations.

Programming the macro

With the macro function, you can program a series of button operations as a macro into the Macro button so the macro can be executed with just one touch. Note that for the macro function, only one macro can be programmed. For example, to program the macro described above on this page for the Macro button, perform the steps given below.

1. Press and hold down any one of the seven Mode buttons, press the Macro 1 (or 2) button, and then release both buttons.

When you press the Mode button, it lights and the Send/Learn indicator lights. When you press the Macro 1 (or 2) button, the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the indicator ﬂashes brieﬂy and then lights again.

2. Press the operation buttons you wish to program in order (in this case, press RCVR Mode → On → CD (Input Selector) → CD Mode → playback ( ) button).

When you press each button, the Send/Learn indicator turns off. When you release the button, the indicator lights.

3. Press the Macro 1 (or 2) button to complete the procedure.

The Send/Learn indicator slowly ﬂashes twice.

4. Check to see if the macro has been properly programmed.

Notes:

• You may program up to 16 button operations into the macro function. If you try to program a 17th operation, it will be ignored, and programming is stopped.

Executing the macro

Perform the procedure below to execute the macro that you have programmed into the remote controller. After programming the macro, you should always run it at least once to make sure that it has been programmed properly.

Point the remote controller at the DTR-6.4/5.4 and press the Macro 1 (or 2) button.

It may take a while for the macro to ﬁnish transmitting, so be sure to continue pointing the remote controller at the device until the Send/ Learn indicator turns off.

Erasing all commands and macros that have been programmed

This procedure will erase all the commands and macros that you have programmed into the remote controller and return it to its default settings. This operation will not affect the preset settings of the remote controller.

1. Open the battery cover and remove the batteries from the remote controller.

2. While pressing and holding down the On and Standby buttons, re-insert the batteries in their correct orientation, and then release both buttons.

The Send/Learn indicator ﬂashes slowly.

3. Press the ENTER button.

The Send/Learn indicator lights up for about ten seconds and then turns off.

All programmed commands and macros are erased and the remote controller returns to its factory presets.

Notes:

• Proceed to Step 3 immediately after Step 2; otherwise, the batteries will be consumed quickly.

• If you press any button other than the ENTER button in Step 3, nothing will be erased. In this case, resume from Step 1.

Troubleshooting guide

If one of the messages shown below appears

“Not available with headphones use”

Operation not allowed because headphones are plugged into the DTR-6.4/5.4.

“Not available with Multichannel use”

Operation not allowed while the multi-channel output is being used.

“Not available in this Sp Conﬁg”

Will not work with the current speaker conﬁguration settings.

“Not available in Zone 2 mode”

Setting not allowed because the Zone 2 mode is turned on.

“Only available with Dolby D”

No setting other than Dolby Digital can be set.

“Not available in this Listening mode”

Will not work with the current listening mode.

“Not available with this signal”

The listening mode cannot be selected with the current input source.

“Not available with Muting”

Operation not allowed because the muting is activated.

“Zone 2 is not On”

Will not work because the Zone 2 has not been turned on.

Also refer to the respective instruction manuals of the CD player, DVD player, video cassette recorder, TV monitor, etc., that compose your entertainment system. The DTR-6.4/5.4 contains an internal microcomputer that performs high-level operations. However, on extremely rare occasions, noise or interference from an external source or static electricity may cause faulty operation. If this occurs, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait ﬁve or more seconds, and then plug it back in. This should correct the situation.

* To reset the surround mode and other settings to the factory

default settings, hold down the Video 1 button with the DTR-

6.4/5.4 turned on and then press the Standby/On button. “CLEAR” appears in the front display and the DTR-6.4/5.4 enters the standby state.
