20. 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 perfor-
mance – this indicates a need for service.

Power switch
After plugging in the power cord into the rear panel and wall outlet, pressing this button connects the DTR-7.1 to the AC mains and turns it on.
• Before turning on the power, make sure all cables are properly connected.
• Turning on the DTR-7.1 may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the DTR-7.1 into a different electrical circuit.
Standby indicator
Lights when the DTR-7.1 is in the standby state and flashes when a signal is received from the remote controller.
Standby/On button
Pressing this button while the main power is turned on the Standby indicator lights up and the front display turns off. Pressing it again returns it to the standby state. This state turns off the display, disables control functions.
Zone 2 indicator
Lights when a signal is output to the remote zone (Zone 2). When the Zone 2 indicator is off, then either output to the remote zone is turned off or Rec Out is selected.
Rec Out/Zone 2 buttons
These buttons allow you to use the DTR-7.1 to output to a remote zone (Zone 2) or to another component for recording purposes (Rec Out). Press the Rec Out button to output the audio and video signals to a recording component for recording purposes. Press the Zone 2 button to enjoy the output from the DTR-7.1 in a different room, which is referred to as a remote zone (Zone 2).
When either button is pressed, the currently selected input source for recording or outputting to the remote zone is displayed in the front panel display. If “SOURCE” is displayed, then the same input source as that selected for the main zone will be output.
To select an input source, press the desired button (Rec Out or Zone 2) and then press one of the input source button within 3 seconds. That source will be output for recording or viewing in the remote zone. To turn off either the Rec Out or Zone 2 output, when “SOURCE” is displayed, press the button again. “OFF” appears in the front display.
Notes:
• The Rec Out and Zone 2 buttons use the same circuit and therefore cannot be used at the same time. When Rec Out is selected, nothing is output to Zone 2, and vice versa.
• When not using Rec Out or Zone 2, turn off the signal. If turned on and the connected component is not turned on, the electric signal will still be sent through the circuitry and the excess load may cause deterioration of the audio signal.
Master Volume dial
The Master Volume dial is used to control the volume for the main zone. The volume for the remote zone (Zone 2) is independent.
Phones jack
This is a standard stereo jack for connecting stereo headphones. The audio for the front right and left speakers are sent to the headphone speakers. When the headphones are plugged in, the listening mode automatically changes to stereo and output to the speakers is stopped.
Audio Selector button
This button is used to select the type of audio input signal. Each time pressed, the setting cycles from “AUTO” “Multichannel” “Analog” and back.
AUTO (automatic detection): With this setting, the DTR-7.1
automatically detects whether the input signal is digital or analog. When a digital signal is not input, then the analog signal is played.
Multichannel: Select this setting to play back the input from the
component connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port. This setting is effective when the Multichannel setting in the Audio Setup sub-menu is set to “Yes” (see page 35).
Analog: Select this setting to play back the input from a source
component connected to an AUDIO IN jack. With this setting, even if a digital signal is input from the same component, only the analog signal will be output.
Input Source Buttons (DVD, Video 1–4, Tape, FM, AM, Phono, and CD)
These buttons are used to select the input source for the main zone. To select the input source for the remote zone (Zone 2) or recording out (Rec Out), first press the Zone 2 or Rec Out button, and then the desired input source button.
Video 4/Video Cam Input
These inputs are for connecting video cameras and other such equipment.
Dimmer button
Press to set the brightness of the front display. There are 3 settings available: normal, dark, and very dark.
• The dimmer control for the front display can also be performed at the remote controller.
Front display
FM Mute/Mode button
If you are listening to an FM radio station in stereo and the sound cuts out or there is a great deal of noise, switch from STEREO to MONO. Each time this button is pressed, the AUTO indication flashes and the stereo mode changes from AUTO to MONO and vice versa. This button also turns on and off the FM MUTE.
Tuning Up/Down button
Use these buttons to change the tuner frequency. The tuner frequency is displayed in the front display and it can be changed in 50 kHz increments for FM and 10 kHz (or 9 kHz) increments for AM.
When FM is selected, you can hold down one of the tuning buttons and then release it to activate the auto-search feature. It will search for a station in the direction of the button you pressed and stop when it tunes into one.

z (RI)
By connecting the z connector as shown in the diagram below, you can use the RC-418M remote controller to operate Integra/ Onkyo cassette tape decks and compact disc players that also have Integra/Onkyo’s z connectors. Simply connect a remote control cable from this connector to the z connector of the cassette tape deck or compact disc player. An z remote control cable with a
3.5-mm (1/8-inch) miniature two-conductor plug comes with every cassette tape deck and compact disc player that has an z connector.
• For remote control operation, the audio connection cables must also be connected.
• The RC-418M remote controller does not support turntables.
• If the connected component has two z connectors, you can use either one to connect to the DTR-7.1. The other one can be used to daisy chain with another component.
• For Integra DVD or MD players, you can control them by simply pointing the RC-418M controller directly at the component.
These jacks are for connecting the FM indoor antenna and AM loop antenna that are supplied with the DTR-7.1.
IR IN MAIN/IR IN ZONE 2
If the DTR-7.1 is located inside a rack or cabinet that will not allow infrared beams to reach the IR sensor, you will need to connect a remote sensor to IR IN MAIN input to be able to use the remote controller. Then install the remote sensor in an unblocked location where you can easily point the remote controller.
To use the remote controller in the remote zone (Zone 2), which may be far separated from the DTR-7.1, connect a multiroom system kit to the IR IN MAIN/IR IN ZONE 2 input.
To be able to use the remote controller through either the IR IN MAIN or IR IN ZONE 2 inputs, you must connect one of the following (sold separately):
• Onkyo’s Multi-Room System kits (IR Remote Controller Extension System), or
• Multiroom A/V distribution and control systems from Niles and Xantech® to name a few
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT
If your DVD player or other device has component video connectors, be sure to connect them to these component video connectors on the DTR-7.1. The DTR-7.1 has two component video input connectors to obtain the color information (Y, P directly from the recorded DVD signal or other video component and one component video output connector to output it directly into the matrix decoder of the display device. By sending the pure DVD component video signal directly, the DVD 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.

• Be sure to connect the positive and negative cables for the speakers properly. If they are mixed up, the left and right signals will be reversed and the audio will sound unnatural.
• Connect speakers with an impedance between 6 and 16 . Connecting speakers with an impedance less that 6 may damage the DTR-7.1.
• Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the DTR-7.1.

Connecting antennas
To the use the tuner of DTR-7.1, it is necessary to prepare the supplied FM and AM antennas.
• Adjustment and placement of the FM and AM antennas for better reception must be done while listening to a station broadcast.
• If better reception cannot be obtained, then placement of an outside antenna is recommended.
Assembling the AM loop antenna
Assemble the loop antenna as shown in the illustration.
• Refer to the next page for details on connecting the AM loop antenna.
Insert into the hole.
Connecting the included antennas
Connecting the FM indoor antenna:
The FM indoor antenna is for indoor use only. During use, 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 DTR-7.1, televisions, speaker cables, and power cords.
When reception is not satisfactory with the attached AM loop antenna alone, connection of an outdoor antenna is recommended.

Please make sure that you follow the considerations:
• Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy roads, etc.).
• It is dangerous to put the antenna close to power lines. Keep it well away from power lines, transformers, etc.
• To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is necessary. Follow item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.
Directional linkage
Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR) reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with each other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna, use a directional linkage type splitter.

Connecting the power
• The DTR-7.1 is shipped with the main power (Power) switch in the on position (
ON
). When the power cord is plugged in for the first time, the DTR-7.1 will automatically enter the standby state and the Standby indicator will light (same condition after step 2 below).
• Before you plug in the DTR-7.1, confirm that all connections have been made properly.
• Turning on the power may cause a momentary power surge, which might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit, such as computers. If this happens, use a wall outlet on a different circuit.
1. Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet.
2. Press the Power switch to set the DTR-7.1 to standby state.
The Standby indicator will light up.
3. Press the Standby/On button to turn on the DTR-7.1. The display will light up and the Standby indicator will turn off.
If you press the Standby/On button again, the receiver returns to Standby mode.
Turning the power on from the remote controller:
Before you can use the remote controller, you must perform steps 1 and 2 above and place the DTR-7.1 in the standby state.
1. Press the AUDIO MODE button.
2. Press the ON button to turn on the DTR-7.1 (take it out of the standby state).
• To return the DTR-7.1 to the standby state, press the STNBY button.
Memory preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A built-in memory power backup 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 backup 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.

The On-Screen Display (OSD) menu
The OSD menu is a settings menu that is displayed on your TV monitor and allows you to perform your speaker settings, setup your input sources, set the listening modes, and much more. In most situations, you will only need to set this once during the installation and layout of your home theater, and it rarely needs to be changed later.
The OSD menu consists of a main screen that is divided up into 5 menus: Speaker Setup, Input Setup, Listening Mode Setup, Preference, and OSD Setup. These menus are then divided up into various sub-menus, and these contain settings for you to optimize your home theater as you wish.

1-3. Level Calibration sub-menu
Here you will set the volume for each speaker so that they are all 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 above are vital to create the proper acoustics required for the optimum sound space and dynamics.
Note:
The speaker level settings here are not effective for multi-channel input sources. To adjust the speaker levels for multi-channel input sources, you will need to use the CH SEL, LEVEL+, and LEVEL– buttons on the RC-418M remote controller. See page 57.

Calibrating the speaker levels
(1) When this sub-menu is entered, the DTR-7.1 will emit a pink
noise from the front left speaker. At this time, the Master volume automatically increases to the reference level (0dB). Remember the level of this noise and then press the button. (Note that this can be adjusted to any level between – 12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.) The DTR-7.1 will now emit the pink noise from the center speaker.
(2) Using the
and cursor buttons, adjust the volume level of the noise from the center speaker so that it is the same level as the front left speaker. You can jog back and forth between the speakers to help you compare the volume levels.

Input Setup
a. Digital Input
This setting tells the DTR-7.1 which input source button on the front panel is connected with which digital input jack on the rear panel. To perform this setting, you must first select a digital input source at the front panel and then set the name of the digital input jack it is connected to here.
For example, if the input source selected at the front panel is CD and the compact disc player is connected to DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) 1, then select “OPT1” here. If the input source selected is not connected to a digital input, then select “----.”
OPT1: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) 1.
OPT2: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) 2.
COAX1: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) 1.
COAX2: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) 2.
––––: Select if the input source is not from a digital input jack.
Note:
Do not assign a digital input to more than one input source. If you are making a digital connection that requires you to change the default settings, be sure to always first cancel the current digital input setting and then assign the new setting.
b. Digital Format
The default setting is “All.” If “----” is selected for this input source at the Digital Input setting, then this setting will not appear. Although you can use this default setting as is, you may change it as desired depending on the input signal format (e.g., if you know that you will always be listening to a certain input signal format from a particular input source).
All: Select for automatic detection of the input signal format. The
input signal format (Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM or Analog) used by the selected input source is detected automatically to execute the required decoding process.
DTS: Select for DTS signal processing. The decoding process is
executed only when DTS signals are input.
PCM: Select for PCM signal processing. The decoding process is
executed only when PCM signals are input.
Note:
If “All” is selected and a compact disc or LD is fast-forwarded during playback, decoded PCM signals may produce a skipping sound. In such cases, change the setting to “PCM.”
Notes on DTS:
• If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the “PCM” setting is selected on the DTR-7.1, the DTS encoded signal will not be decoded and noise will be output. This noise could damage the amplifier and speakers. Therefore, be sure to selected “All” or “DTS” and use the digital input jacks (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source.
• If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when “All” 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-7.1 lights while a DTS source is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal transmission stops, the DTR-7.1 remains in DTS mode and the DTS indicator remains lit. This prevents noise when you operate the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player. Therefore, if the source 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 if you connect the player to the DTR-7.1 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the DTR-7.1 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, 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 compact disc or LD encoded in the DTS format is played back with “PCM” selected, only noise will be produced. Always select “All” or “DTS” when playing back DTS­encoded sources.
c. Multichannel
This sub-menu will not appear if AM or FM is selected at the front panel for the input source. This setting is normally set to “No,” and only needs to be changed to “Yes” if a DVD player, MPEG decoder, or other component that has a multi channel port is connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port for 5.1-channel,
6.1-channel, or 7.1-channel audio. For example, if a DVD player is connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port, then select DVD at the front panel as the input source, bring up this sub-menu, and select “Yes” for the Multichannel setting. You can only select Multichannel with the AUDIO SELECTOR button when “Yes” is selected here.
Note:
When playing a device that is actually connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT terminal, select Multichannel with the AUDIO SELECTOR button.

2-3. Listening Mode Preset sub-menu
With the DTR-7.1, you can set a different listening mode for each different signal type that comes from each input source and also set the parameters for the listening mode itself. For example, if your DVD player also plays compact discs and the DVD video signal is DTS and the compact disc signal is PCM, then you can set a different listening mode for each.
This is especially convenient if you frequently play the same types of movies or music.

• The DTR-7.1 will automatically switch to the listening mode set for the current input signal. For example, even when using the same DVD player, if a CD is played, the listening mode automatically becomes “Stereo,” and if a DVD is played (Dolby Digital 3/2.1), the listening mode automatically becomes Dolby D.
* The 5.1-channel digital surround format has a variety of
versions including Dolby Digital and DTS. The 5.1- channel digital surround format enables you to individually record and play five full-range (20 Hz to 20 kHz) channels (left and right front, center, and two surround channels) plus an LFE channel (Low Frequency Effect) for the low-range effect sound. It will create a realistic sound that can be heard in the theaters and concert halls.

Input Setup
Listening Modes
Stereo
This mode has all input sound is output from the left and right front speakers.
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.
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.
Surround modes
With this mode, decoding is performed automatically to match the input signal. This original mode adds no sound processing to the input signal.
• DOLBY DIGITAL Surround, DTS (Digital Theater System) Surround
This 5.1-channel digital surround format enables you to individually record and play five full-range (20Hz–20kHz) channels (left and right front, center, two surround channels) plus an LFE channel (Low Frequency Effect) for the low­range effect sound. It will create a realistic sound that could be heard in the theaters and concert halls.
Dolby D (Dolby Digital)
This mode is for listening to sources encoded in the Dolby Digital format.
Dialog normalization (Dialog Norm)
Dialog normalization is a feature of Dolby Digital. With this function, for example, if “Dialog Norm: +4” is displayed while playing back a Dolby Digital source, it means that that source material was recorded 4 decibels higher than normal. Thus, by lowering the volume by 4 decibels, it can be played back at the same standard level for other sources. However, since most source materials have been recorded at the same standard level, you will rarely need to adjust the volume.
DTS
This mode is for playing back DTS sources.
• Pro Logic/3 Stereo (Dolby Pro Logoc/3 Stereo)
This mode is for playing back sources encoded using the Dolby Pro Logic format. Select this listening mode when you play a VHS, VHS hi-fi, LD, or DVD video that has the
mark.
This surround format consists of four channels (left, right, center, and monaural surround) and emphasizes the center channel. Dolby Pro Logic is very effective for panning music, conversation, and three-dimensional sound movement output from the three front channels. It also simulates the atmosphere and surround effects of the sound reflected from the side and rear walls of the theater.
If no surround speakers are connected, then the surround sound is divided and output from the front left and right channels (3 stereo).
THX
This mode is for playing back sources using THX.
This mode will work well with 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and DTS sources and Dolby encoded sources.
For excellent fidelity when playing back THX sounds, it is recommended to use a THX-certified speaker system.
• THX Cinema
This is the conventional 5.1-channel THX format. This mode should be used only when playing back sources that were mixed for playback in large movie theater environments.
• THX Surround EX
“THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX” is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of Lucasfilm 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 <http:// www.dolby.com> .
Only receiver and controller products bearing the THX Surround EX logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode, faithfully reproduce this new technology in the home.
This product may also engage the “THX Surround EX” mode during the playback of 5.1 channel material that is not Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded. In such case, the information delivered to the Surround Back channel will be program dependent and may or may not be very pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the tastes of the individual listener.

Input Setup
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)
For the best enjoyment of your home theater, it is recommended that you have at least front left and right speakers, a center speaker, and surround left and right speakers. However, even if you only have front left and right speakers, you can still 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.
Enhanced 7
Enhanced 7 intends to reproduce a natural surround environment by using 7-channel speakers. The sound effects moving smoothly toward the surround back. 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.
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.
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.
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.

Listening Mode Setup
Description listening mode parameters
Subwoofer
Set this to “Off” if you are not using a subwoofer (even if one is connected). If “No” is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear.
Re-EQ
Depending on the listening mode, you can either turn Re-EQ on or off.
Re-EQ: Re-EQ (re-equalization) takes the edginess or “brightness” out of your home cinema sound to compensate for the fact that sound mixed for theaters may sound too bright when played back through speakers in the home environment.
On: Select to turn on the re-equalization filter.
Off: Select to turn off the re-equalization filter.
Surround Speakers
This setting allows you to decide which speakers to output to when surround back speakers are connected and you are playing back a
5.1-channel source.
Surround L/R: This outputs the sound to the surround left and right speakers as normal and outputs nothing to the surround back speaker.
Surround Back: This outputs the sound to the surround back speakers and outputs nothing to the surround left and right speakers. This setting can only be selected when two surround back speakers are connected to the DTR-7.1.
Sur L/R+Back: This outputs the sound to both the surround left and right speakers and the surround back speaker.
Dolby D 6.1
This setting allows you to set whether or not Dolby Digital sources will be played back using the matrix 6.1-channel output when a surround back speaker is connected.
Auto: Automatically outputs signals with EX-identifying signals using 6.1-channel Dolby Digital.
On: Outputs using 6.1-channel Dolby Digital regardless of whether or not the signal contains EX identifiers.
Off: Does not output using 6.1-channel Dolby Digital regardless of whether or not the signal contains EX identifiers (Dolby D is used).
However, if the surround channel is monaural or nonexistent, the playback is made using normal Dolby Digital regardless of the above setting. For Dolby Digital 6.1-channel playback, Dolby D 6.1 is displayed for the listening mode.
DTS-ES
This setting allows you to set whether or not DTS sources will be played back using the matrix 6.1-channel (DTS-ES) output when a surround back speaker is connected.
Auto: Automatically outputs signals with ES-identifying signals using DTS-ES playback.
On: Outputs using DTS-ES playback regardless of whether or not the signal contains ES identifiers.
Off: Does not output using DTS-ES playback regardless of whether or not the signal contains ES identifiers (DTS is used).
However, if the surround channel is monaural or nonexistent, the playback is made using normal DTS regardless of the above setting. For DTS-ES playback, DTS-ES is displayed for the listening mode.
Dolby D THX Surround EX
This setting allows you to set whether or not Dolby Digital sources will be played back using THX Surround EX when a surround back speaker is connected.
Auto: Automatically outputs signals with EX-identifying signals using THX Surround EX.
On: Outputs using THX Surround EX regardless of whether or not the signal contains EX identifiers.
Off: Does not output using THX Surround EX regardless of whether or not the signal contains EX identifiers (Dolby D is used).
However, if the surround channel is monaural or nonexistent, the playback is made using normal THX regardless of the above setting. For THX Surround EX playback, Dolby D THX Surround EX is displayed for the listening mode.
DTS THX Surround EX
This setting allows you to set whether or not DTS sources will be played back using the THX Surround EX when a surround back speaker is connected.
On: Outputs using THX Surround EX regardless of whether or not the signal contains ES identifiers.
Off: Does not output using THX Surround EX regardless of whether or not the signal contains ES identifiers (DTS is used).
However, if the surround channel is monaural or nonexistent, the playback is made using normal DTS regardless of the above setting. For THX Surround EX playback, DTS THX Surround EX is displayed for the 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.” No reverberation from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from the three front channels, so the sound source is be played as it is without any further reverberation.
Effect Level
This parameter allows you to adjust the strength of sound effects to match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room, and such other factors. This can be set to “Low,” “Mid-low,” “Middle,” “Mid-high,” or “High.”
Room Size
This parameter allows you set virtual hall size to simulate for each surround mode. You can choose from “Large,” “Mid-Large,” “Middle,” “Mid-Small,” or “Small.”

Listening Mode Setup
Listening angle
The listening angle is the angle subtended by the front left and right speakers as seen from the listener. 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
For systems that have 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. (If your system uses a center speaker, be sure to perform the level calibration with the left and right speakers in the Speaker Setup menu beforehand.)
On: The center channel signal is output to the center speaker.
Off: The center channel signal is output from the front left and
right speakers (Phantom Center).
Front Expander
The front expander function spreads out the sound from the front speakers for the feeling of a wide sound space.
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 parameter adjusts the virtual surround level. This can be set from –3 to +3 decibels.
Dialog Enhance
This parameter allows you to adjust the dialog sound level from the center speaker if it is difficult to hear.
On: Enhances the vocal ranges for the center channel signal.
Off: Outputs the center channel signal at the regular level and
frequency characteristics.

a. Volume Display
You can choose from two ways of displaying the volume setting on screen.
Absolute: This displays the volume with a minimum of min (0)
for no sound and a maximum of max (80). As a reference, the volume setting of Ref (62) is used as the 0 -decibel for the relative display method.
Relative: This displays the volume as a decibel value on a scale
with a designated reference point that is displayed as 0, which equals the volume setting of 62 for the absolute display method. With this display method, the minimum value is – , the next highest is –61, and the maximum value is +18.
b. Maximum Volume
This setting allows you to set the maximum volume that can be output with the Master Volume Dial To Prevent Components From Being Damaged By Excessively loud volumes. For the absolute volume display method, this can be set between 30 and
79. For the relative volume display method, this can be set between –32 and +17 decibels.
c. Power On Volume
This sets a designated volume setting for the DTR-7.1 to be set every time that the power is turned on. This prevents the DTR-7.1 from being turned on while it is set to an extremely high volume and suddenly output very loud sounds. For the absolute volume display method, this can be set between min and max. For the relative volume display method, this can be set between – and +18 decibels. If you do not mind having the DTR-7.1 turned on with its current volume setting, set this to “Last.”
Activated: Select when speakers are connected to the ZONE2
SPEAKERS terminals. During playback in the remote zone (Zone 2), the listening mode for the main zone becomes either Stereo or Direct.
Not Activated: Select when you are connecting an amplifier to the
ZONE 2 OUT terminals and connecting speakers to that amplifier.

Programming procedure
When programming the commands of another remote controller to the RC-418M 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-418M 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-418M remote controller one at a time. Each command is then programmed to a different button on the RC­418M remote controller. Any button is programmable for this step except for the eight MODE buttons (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE, VCR, and TV), the two MACRO buttons (DIRECT and MODE), and the LIGHT button.
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 5 to 15 cm (2 to 6 inches) apart.

• The remote controller codes for 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 Onkyo preset codes after you program new codes, you must first erase the new codes (see page 63).
• The remote controller has 408 memory slots (8 modes x 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 no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the programming, or if you perform an invalid operation during programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, “ERROR” appears in the display, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 2.
• If a failure occurs during programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, “NG” appears in the display, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 3.
• If a failure occurs five times in row during programming, “ERROR” appears in the display, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 3.
• If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the remote controller, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six times quickly, “FULL” appears in the display, 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 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 a system that is 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.
