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 highly humid climate.

Audio equipment connections
1. DIGITAL INPUT connectors
• If your CD player has a digital output connector, connect it to a proper DIGITAL INPUT connector for clear and dynamic sound play.
• This unit provides four digital input connectors to connect CD players, MD recorders, DAT decks, etc. having a digital output connector. When using these connectors, connect the unit also via the audio con­nection cables. You should also note that the signals you can record are analog signals only.
• The digital inputs, COAXIAL 1, 2 and OPTICAL 1, 2 can be assigned to individual input selector buttons, so when an input selector button is pressed, the assigned digital input is used instead of the corresponding analog input. (See pages 23,29.)
2. OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT connector (DTR-7 only)
If you have a digital recorder, such as an MD recorder, DAT, and CD-R (Compact Disc Recorder), con­nect the recorder’s digital input connector to this connector. In this case, always use commercially avail­able optical digital audio cables.
3. Turntable
This receiver is designed for use with turntables using moving magnet cartridges. Connect a ground (or earth) wire to GND terminal. With some players, connecting a ground wire results in larger noise. If so, do not connect any ground wire.

Connecting speakers

The DTR-7/6 allows you to connect two speaker systems. Before connecting the speakers, place them correctly by consulting the instruction manuals that came with your speakers. For surround playback (see “Using the listening modes” on page 34), the configuration and placement of your speakers are very important. For Home THX cinema surround playback, we recommend that you use a THX speaker system that is certified by Lucasfilm Ltd. (such as Onkyo HTS SYSTEM-2).
Ideal speaker configuration:
• Right and Left front speakers
• Center speaker
Produces a rich sound image by serving as a sound source for the Right and Left front speakers and enhancing the sonic move­ment.
• Right and Left surround speakers
Adds three-dimensional sonic movement and produces environ­mental sound associated with the background and effect sound for each scene.
• Subwoofer
Produces powerful and heavy bass.
1
2

Minimum speaker configuration for surround sound playback:
• Right and Left front speakers
• Right and Left surround speakers
The sound recorded for the center speaker and the subwoofer will be properly distributed to the Right and Left front speakers and the Right and Left surround speakers for optimized surround playback.

Speaker placement

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings. Here, only typical example of speaker place­ment and recommendations are shown.
Speaker systems Left and Right front speakers and Center speaker
• Place these three speakers at the same height from the floor.
• Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the audience's ears at the listening position.
Left and Right surround speakers
• Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter higher than that of the audience's ears.
Subwoofer
To get the highest bass effect, place a subwoofer. You can place your subwoofer anywhere in your room because the placement affects very little the perceived sound.

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.
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.

Notes on DTS
1. If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the “Analog” or “PCM” setting is selected on the DTR-7/DTR-6, 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 “Automatic”, “Digital” or “DTS” and use the digi­tal input jacks (OPTICAL1/2 /COAXIAL1/2) to connect the DTS source.
2. If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the “Auto­matic”, or “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. In such cases, try playing the source in the “DTS” mode.
4. The DTS indicator on the DTR-7/DTR-6 lights up while it plays the DTS source. When playback concludes and the DTS signal transmission stops, the DTR-7/DTR-6 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-7/ DTR-6 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been pro­cessed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, frequency response, etc.), and the DTR-7/DTR-6 cannot recognize the sig­nal as DTS data. Therefore, you may hear noise when you play a DTS source while processing the signal.
6. The OUT jacks of the VIDEO-1, VIDEO-2, and TAPE connec­tors output analog audio signals. Do not record CDs or LDs that support DTS using these jacks. Otherwise, you will record a DTS-encoded signal as noise.

Using the Listening Modes

Before Using Listening Mode

Listening Modes
The DTR-7/DTR-6’s surround sound enables you to enjoy the pres­ence of a movie theater or concert hall in your room. Before using a listening mode, make sure the Speaker Setup param­eters have been set (refer to page 18 ~ 23). Once the parameters have been set, it is not necessary to set them again. The configuration of the speakers are very important for the sur­round sound. Refer to “connecting speakers” on page 10.
DOLBY DIGITAL Surround, DTS (Digital Theater System)
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 DTS: Select this option when you play a DVD player, video disc, or CD that has a
mark.
mark.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC Surround
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 three-dimensional 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
mark.
Home THX Cinema Surround (DTR-7 only)
DOLBY DIGITAL/DTS/DOLBY PRO LOGIC/THX CINEMA
In these modes, Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic or DTS Surround is reprocessed using a technique called “Home THX processing.” Home THX processing was developed by the surround engineers at Lucasfilm Ltd. for accurate reproduction of soundfields in the home environment as the filmmaker intended, equivalent to those ob­tained in a well-furnished movie theater. For Home THX Cinema Surround playback, we recommend that you use a THX speaker sys­tem certified by Lucasfilm Ltd. (such as Onkyo's THX speaker sys­tem HTS SYSTEM-2).
Surround modes incorporating Integra's original Surround processing
Surround mode suitable for movie soundtracks
In the following surround modes, additional processing is applied to the Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic or DTS Surround.
ACTION
Suitable for movie soundtracks involving a lot of special effect sounds.
MUSICAL
Suitable for musical film soundtracks, where importance is placed on the music, environmental sound, and front image.
Integra’s listening modes
MONO MOVIE (DTR-7 only) : This mode is suitable for play
back monaural recordings such as old movie soundtracks. The center channel delivers unprocessed original sound, whereas the other channels delivers processed center-channel sound with ap­propriate reverberation. Thus, you can enjoy monaural sound with the atmosphere of a movie theater.
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.
5CH STEREO : This mode is useful for background music. The
front and surround channels will create a stereo image.
TV LOGIC : This mode offers a realistic acoustics of a TV pro-
gram being aired in the TV studio. It enhances the entire sur­round sound and clarity of conversation.
DIRECT : This mode delivers pure sound with the minimum sound
quality adjustment and filtration. To attain it, 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.
STEREO
Select this mode when you do not wish to use the surround mode. All input sound is output from the front speakers.
• A system with L/R front and center speakers
The following modes are available:
DOLBY 3 STEREO
The surround channel sound is output from the left and right front speakers.
STEREO
This is a normal stereo mode. Surround mode is cancelled.
DIRECT
See the description above.
• A system with L/R front speakers
The following mode is available:
STEREO
This is a normal stereo mode.

DSP (Digital Signal Processor)

The DSP converts the audio signals into digital audio format to cre­ate sound reflection. This yields an effect that makes you feel like listening to a live performance. The following illustration shows how reflected sound reaches the audience in a concert hall. Integra's DSP and advanced technologies let you get such a sound reflection effect from the unit.
Note:
The concert hall effect is produced from the reflections and rever­berations contained in the original recording. These are converted into reflected sound that is reproduced from four directions. Thus, in some cases an unnatural impression can be conveyed if there are too few reflections in the recording or if the effects in the original re­cording were produced artificially.
Example: Sound reflection in a concert hall

Stage reflections

Notes:
• To play a Dolby digital or DTS Surround source, you need to connect the sound source with a correct digital input connector.
• When you play the Dolby digital or DTS Surround source, the receiver automatically enters Dolby Digital Surround (stereo) or DTS Surround (stereo) mode respectively.
THX
Movies which have been encoded in Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG and Dolby Pro Logic can all benefit by activating the THX mode. THX should be activated only when watching movies which were mixed for playback in large movie theatre environments. THX need not be activated for music, movies that were made especially for television or shows such as sports programming, talk shows, etc. This is because they were mixed in a small room environment.
Dial norm
Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is a feature of Dolby Digital. When playing back software which has been encoded in Dolby Digital, sometimes you may see a brief message in the front panel display which will read Dial 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. For example, if you see the following message: Dial Norm +4dB in the front panel display, to keep the overall output level constant just turn down the volume control by 4dB. In other words, the source material that you are listening to has been recorded 4dB louder than usual. If you do not see a message, then no adjustment of the volume control is necessary.

Setting the listening mode parameters

Listening mode parameters

• Re-EQ (Cinema Re-Equalization)
Select “ON” or “OFF.”
The Re-EQ function is effective except for “5CH STEREO” and “DIRECT.” 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.
• Late Night
Select “High,” “Low,” or “OFF.”
Cinema sound has a vast dynamic range and therefore, to hear quiet sound such as environmental sound and human conversations, it must be played back at large sound volumes. When this parameter is set to “High” or “Low,” however, the dynamic range of the sound is narrowed down to allow you to hear easily minute sound at low vol­umes. This function is useful if you wish to play a movie at low volumes, especially in midnight.
Notes:
• The depth of the Late Night effect is determined by Dolby Digi-
tal software. Some sounds may produce no or little effect.
• The Late Night function is effective only on Dolby Digital en-
coded software.
4. Adjust this parameter when the source is “DTS” and the lis­tening mode is “DTS Orchestra,” “DTS Unplugged,” “DTS Studio-Mix,” or “DTS TV Logic.”
Select “- dB,” “-10dB,” “0dB,” or “+10dB.” The recommended setting is “+10dB.”
Note:
• The LFE level setting is effective only on Dolby Digital or DTS software. With some software, this setting may produce no effect.
• Front Effect
Select “ON” or “OFF.”
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 Action, Musical, MonoMovie, Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix, and TV Logic sound.
• LFE (Low Frequency Effect) level
This parameter is used to adjust the level of LFE in Dolby Digital, or DTS software. When this parameter is selected, the following screen appears.
* LFE Level Setup *
Dolby Digital :0dB DTS :0dB Cinema Group :0dB Music Group :0dB
1. Adjust this parameter when the source is “Dolby Digital.”
Select “- dB,” “-20dB,” “-10dB,” “or “0dB.” The recommended setting is “0dB.”
2. Adjust this parameter when the source is “DTS” and the surround mode is “DTS.”
Select “- dB,” “-20dB,” “0dB,” or “+10dB.” The recommended setting is “+10dB.”
3. Adjust this parameter when the source is “DTS” and the lis­tening mode is “DTS Action,” “DTS Musical,” “DTS THX,” or “DTS Mono Movie.”
Select “- dB,” “-20dB,” “-10dB,” or “0dB.” The recommended setting is “0dB.”
• Reflect Level
Set a value between -5 and +5 dB, in units of 1 dB.
You can adjust the strength of direct sound reflection, depending on the playback source material, your audio room conditions, and so on.
• Reverb Level (DTR-7 only)
Set a value between -5 and +5 dB, in units of 1 dB.
Adjust the depth of acoustic reverberation, depending on the play­back source material, your audio room conditions, and so on.
• Room Size (DTR-7 only)
Set “Large,” “Mid,” or “Small.” Change the virtual hall size set for each surround mode.

Programming the remote contr oller codes of other devices into the RC-392M

The RC-392M has two learning functions. One is a normal learning function that enables the RC-392M to learn other remote controllers’ codes. The other is a macro learning function, which enables the RC-392M to learn a series of codes already memorized in the remote controller into one MACRO button.

Programming procedure

Any button is programmable except for the eight Mode buttons (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE, VCR, and TV), two Macro buttons (DIRECT and MODE), and LIGHT button.

1. Place the RC-392M 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-392M (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 RC­392M.
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-392M flashes twice.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly, then lights up.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 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 Onkyo/Integra CD player, tape deck, DVD player, and MD recorder have already been programmed into the buttons on the RC-392M. You may pro­gram other remote controller codes into these buttons. If you wish to restore the Onkyo/Integra preset codes after you pro­gram new codes, erase the new codes. (See page 53.)

Notes:
The remote controller can have max 408 memory slots (51 buttons by 8 modes), although this number varies significantly depending on the manufacturers and types of the remote controller you wish to program into the RC-392M. It is recommended that you determine which button functions have priority for programming.
If you do not press any button for more than 30 seconds during the pro­cedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, then the RC-392M exits Learning mode. Resume from Step 2.
If you make a mistake during programming, the SEND/LEARN indica­tor flashes three times quickly, then the RC-392M exits Learning mode.
If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the RC-392M, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six times quickly, then the RC-392M 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 perform 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-392M.
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-392M 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-392M or the product may not respond properly to the buttons on the RC-392M for which the remote controller codes were stored into memory.

Using a Macro function

What is a Macro function?

A Macro function enables you to program a series of button operations into a single button on the remote controller. For example, you need to follow the steps below to play a CD player connected to the receiver without using the Macro function: 1: Press the MODE AUDIO button. 2: Press the POWER ON button. 3: Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button. 4: Press the MODE CD button. 5: Use the numeric keys to select the desired song. This operation will be two button presses away if you program these steps into a macro button.

Programming Macro mode

You may program the desired steps into each of eight MODE but­tons. The following example explains how to program Steps 1–5 (described above) into the MACRO MODE button under the
2
1, 2
2
2

1, 3
MODE CD button (CD mode).
1. Press and hold down the desired MODE button you wish to program (in this case, MODE CD button), and press the MACRO MODE button. Then release the buttons.
When you press the MODE CD button, the SEND/LEARN indi­cator lights up. When you press the MACRO MODE button, the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the indicator flashes briefly, then lights up again.
2. Press the operation buttons in series you wish to program into the MACRO MODE button.
Press the MODE AUDIO, POWER ON, CD (INPUT SELEC­TOR), MODE CD buttons, and a numeric button. When you press the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the button, the indicator lights up.
3. Press the MACRO MODE button to complete program­ming.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly. Repeat Steps 1–3 to program other series of button operations into another MODE button.
4. Check to see if the series of button operation has been cor­rectly learned.
Point the remote controller toward the receiver, press the MODE CD button, and press the MACRO MODE button to see if the unit responds as programmed. Transmitting the codes in Macro mode takes a while. During transmission, point the remote controller toward the device to be controlled.
54
Tip:
The codes programmed into a MACRO button will be transmitted with 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, press one operation button, press the corresponding MODE button, then press another operation button to extend the interval between the two operations up to one second.
Notes:
You may program up to 16 button operations into each MACRO button. If you try to program the 17th step, it will be ignored.
If you do not press any button for more than 30 seconds during the pro­cedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, then the RC-392M exits Learning mode. Resume from Step 1.
If you make a mistake during programming, the SEND/LEARN indica­tor flashes three times quickly, then the RC-392M exits Learning mode. Resume from Step 1.
If you cancel one of the operation already programmed in the MACRO MODE button, or if you program a different code into such a button, the operation button will no longer work. In this case, program the buttons again to avoid malfunction.

Macro Direct Learning function

A series of remote controller button operations can be memorized into the MACRO DIRECT button for one-touch control.
Note:
You can program only one series of button operations into the MACRO DIRECT button.
1. Press and hold down any one of the eight MODE buttons and press the MACRO DIRECT button. Then, release the buttons.
When you press the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indica­tor lights up. When you press the MACRO DIRECT button, the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the indicator flashes briefly, then lights up again.
2. Follow Step 2 in the “Programming Macro Mode” on page
54.
3. Press the MACRO DIRECT button to complete the proce­dure.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly.
4. Check to see if the button has been programmed correctly.
Point the RC-392M toward the receiver and press the MACRO DIRECT button, and make sure that the device responds as pro­grammed. Transmitting the codes in Macro mode takes a while. During transmission, point the remote controller toward the device to be controlled.
Tip:
The codes programmed into a MACRO button will be transmitted with 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, press one operation button, press the corresponding MODE button, then press another operation but­ton to extend the interval between the two operations up to one second.
Notes:
You may program up to 16 button operations into the MACRO DI­RECT button. If you try to program the 17th step, it will be ignored.
If you do not press any button for more than 30 seconds during the pro­cedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, then the RC-392M exits Learning mode. Resume from Step 1.
If you make a mistake during programming, the SEND/LEARN indica­tor flashes three times quickly, then the RC-392M exits Learning mode. Resume from Step 1.
If you cancel one of the operation already programmed in the MACRO DIRECT button, or if you program a different code into such a button, the operation button will no longer work. In this case, program the but­tons again to avoid malfunction.

Erasing all codes and operations programmed in the buttons

This procedure will erase all remote controller codes for the other
2
devices and all macro operations that have been programmed in the RC-392M (see pages 52, 54 and 55).
1. Open the battery cover and remove the batteries.
2. While pressing and holding down the POWER ON button and the POWER STNBY button, insert the batteries in the correct direction.
After inserting the batteries, release the buttons. The SEND/ LEARN indicator flashes slowly.
3. Press the ENT button.
The SEND/LEARN indicator lights up for about ten seconds, then turns off. All programmed codes are erased and the button memories re­turn to the factory presets.
Notes:
Proceed to Step 3 immediately once you have completed Step 2. Other­wise, the batteries will be consumed quickly.
If you press any button other than the ENT button in Step 3, no codes will be erased. In this case, repeat the steps from the beginning.
