13. 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.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides in­formation with regard to proper grounding of the mast and sup­porting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna­discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of an­tenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.
15. 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.
16. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be lo- cated in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
17. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18. 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. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.
19. 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.
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 ad-
justment 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.

DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT (coaxial and optical)
These are the digital audio inputs and outputs on the rear panel. There are three digital inputs with coaxial jacks and three with optical jacks. The inputs accept digital audio signals from a compact disc, LD, DVD, or other digital source component. For digital output, there is 1 optical output. The digital outputs can be connected to MD recorders, CD recorders, DAT decks, or other similar components.
Since an analog connection must be made when using Rec Out or Zone 2, make sure that the connection to the input source is not digital only, but analog as well.
When using one of the optical input or output jacks, remove the protective cap and keep it safely. When the jack is not used, replace the protective cap.
When using an optical input or output jack, always use an optical fiber cable.

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-7.2. The DTR-7.2 has two component video input connectors to obtain the color information (Y, P
B, PR) 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.

A-BUS
Congratulations for purchasing a most efficient, modern-day remote controllable whole house audio system. 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 A/B/C/D: Use a CAT-5 (eight conductor twisted) cable to connect directly from the receivers A-BUS RJ45 Hub to an A-BUS keypad. A-BUS outputs enable connection up to four A-BUS keypads.
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 control: 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 receivers 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 INPUT: Connect A-BUS power supply. Do not use any other AC Adapter on this connector as it may cause severe damage to the receiver.
SPEAKERS
Six terminals are provided for the front left, front right, front center, surround left, surround right, and surround back speakers. Speaker outputs are compatible with banana plug connectors.
MONITOR OUT
The monitor output includes both composite video and S video configurations. This output is for connecting television monitors or projectors.

Before connecting the speakers, place them correctly by consulting the instruction manuals that came with them. For surround playback, the configuration and placement of your speakers are very important.
For THX surround EX playback, we recommend that you use a THX speaker system that is certified by Lucasfilm Ltd.
Ideal speaker configuration
Front right and left speakers
Center speaker
Produces a rich sound image by serving as a sound source for the front right and left speakers and enhancing the sonic movement.
Surround right and left speakers
Adds three-dimensional sonic movement and produces environmental sound associated with the background and effect sound for each scene.
Surround back speaker
Required for enjoying THX Surround EX, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, or DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 audio. For audio using surround back right and surround back left speakers, a separately-sold 2­channel power amplifier is required.
Lucasfilm/THX recommends the use of two Surround Back speakers to enjoy the full potential of THX Surround EX. An external stereo power amplifier will need to be used to power the two speakers from the Pre-Amp out terminals.
However, if you are unable to position two speakers in your listening environment, a single surround speaker can be used and the DTR-7.2 has an internal amplifier to power this speaker for your convenience.
Subwoofer
Produces powerful and heavy bass.
Surround back speaker/Surround back left and right speakers
Place these speakers behind the listener so that the angle between each speaker and the listener is approximately 15 degrees.
Place these speakers so that their height is 3 feet (1 meter) higher than that of the listeners ears.
Note:
For audio using surround back right and surround back left speakers, a separately-sold 2-channel power amplifier is required.

(Only one surround back speaker)
Minimum speaker configuration for surround sound playback
Front right and left speakers
Surround right and left speakers
The sound recorded for the center speaker and the subwoofer will be properly distributed to the front right and left 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. In order to create the optimum conditions for the best sound quality, be sure to place all the speakers so that the greatest difference between the distances of each speaker to the listening position is less than 20 feet (6 meters).
Important points regarding speaker placement
Front left and right 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 location of the listeners ears when at the listening position.
Surround left and right speakers
Place these speakers so that their height is 3 feet (1 meter) higher than that of the listeners ears.

Connecting antennas
To use the tuner of DTR-7.2, 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 Connecting the AM loop antenna below for details on connecting the 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-7.2, 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.

Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers
The DTR-7.2 allows you to connect another set of speakers and place them in a different room or separated area for listening to music. This other room or area is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2), while the room where the DTR-7.2 is located is the main zone. In addition, the IR IN/OUT allows you to control the DTR-
7.2 from the remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even though the remote zone is physically separated. The diagram below shows how to make the proper connections for the remote zone.
When using the ZONE 2 OUT terminals
The ZONE 2 OUT terminal is a constant output. Connect to the LINE input of the amplifier (CD, tape, etc.). Adjust the volume with the amplifier connected to the ZONE 2 OUT terminal.
1. Connect the DTR-7.2 to the amplifier for the remote zone.
2. Connect the remote zone speaker cables to the speaker terminals on the amplifier.
Adjust the volume level at the amplifier.

Memory preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A built­in 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.

b. Digital Format
Sets the digital signal type to which priority is given during signal detection at the selected digital terminal. 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.
Notes:
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.
If a DTS signal is not input when DTS is selected, the DTR-
7.2 does not automatically switch to analog output even if Auto is selected with the Audio Selector button.
Notes on DTS:
If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the PCM setting is selected on the DTR-7.2, 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 (OPT or COAX) 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-7.2 lights while a DTS source is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal transmission stops, the DTR-7.2 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-7.2 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the DTR-7.2 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, and ZONE 2 OUT output analog audio signals. Do not record from CDs or LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded 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 DTS-encoded sources.

When switching input sources, you may find that the output level for different components or input sources connected to the DTR-7.2 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-7.2 adjusts the volume accordingly so that the resulting volume stays the same. To set the Intelli Volume, simply select an input source at the front panel, and if that source is quieter than other sources, increase its decibel level with the

Input source signals
a. Analog/PCM
Analog sources consist of LP records, FM and AM broadcasts, cassette tapes, and the such. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is one form of digital audio signals and is recorded directly onto compact discs and DVDs without compression.
b. PCM fs=96k
Set a listening mode for the input signal from digital PCM sources recorded with a sampling rate of 96 kHz.
c. Dolby D (Dolby Digital)
Digital data with AC-3 compression and a maximum of 5.1-channel surround sound. This source signal comes from DVDs and LDs that have the This source also comes from digital satellite broadcasts that support Dolby Digital.
Dialog norm
Dialogue Normalization (Dialog Norm) is 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 read 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. For example, if you see the message Dialog Norm: +4 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.
mark and therefore recorded for 5.1-channel output.
Listening Modes
Mono
This mode is for playing old movies whose sound is recorded in monaural or playing left and right channels separately in the movies which contains the different language signals recorded into individual channels. 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.
Stereo
This mode has all input sound is output from the left and right front speakers.
Subwoofer also can be used for playback.
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, 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.
d. DTS
DTS (Digital Theater System) is compressed digital data with a maximum 5.1-channel surround output 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

This mode is a new generation 5-channel surround system that provides performance between the 4-channel (left front, right front, center, and monaural surround) Pro Logic Surround and the 5.1­channel Dolby Digital Surround. This mode can be set to the Movie mode designed for playing movies and the 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 sound space 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. If no surround speakers are connected, then the surround sound is
divided and output from the front left and right channels (3 stereo).
Dolby D (Dolby Digital)
Used for playing Dolby Digital source.

Input Setup
DTS Neo:6
This mode is for 6.1 channel playback of 2 channel sources such as PCM or analog sources. All 6 channel outputs are 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. Reproduced surround sound makes 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 compact discs and other stereo sources.
DTS
Used for playing DTS source.
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, high­fidelity 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.
THX
This mode is for playing back sources using THX. 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
This unit can play the 5.1 ch program in THX surround EX mode, even if the program is not encoded in Dolby Digital Surround EX format. For this kind of program, the sound from surround back channels depends on a program and may not fit to your taste.
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.
40
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.
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.

Parameter Setting
Initial value
a RE-EQ On, Off Off b Upsampling On, Off Off c Subwoofer On, Off On
(Ana/PCM)
d Late Night Off, Low, High Off
a) 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. This can be set to either “On” or “Off.” This parameter is enabled for listening modes other than the THX, T-D, Direct, PL II Music, or Neo:6 Music listening mode.
b) Upsampling
Upsampling processes the input digital signal, or the digital signal converted from an analog input source, and converts its digital sampling frequency to twice its current frequency for an even further detailed sound reproduction. This can be set to either On or Off. When On is selected, the Upsampling indicator lights.
c) Subwoofer
When Yes is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, set this to Off if you do not want to have sound output from the subwoofer. This setting is only effective when the input source is Analog/PCM. If No is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear.
d) Late Night
Cinema sound has a vast dynamic range; therefore, to hear the quieter sounds such as human conversations, they must be played back at larger 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 parameter 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: Turns off the Late Night function. Low: Lowers the dynamic range. High: Narrows down the dynamic range.
Notes:
The Late Night function is effective only on Dolby Digital encoded software.
The depth of the Late Night effect is determined by Dolby Digital software. Some sounds may produce no or little effect.
3-4. Delay
This sub-menu gives you various ways to adjust the timing of the audio output from the speakers to give certain soundfield effects or to adjust for unwanted asynchronous video and audio tracks. This sub-menu does not appear if Direct is selected as the listening mode.
Parameter Setting
Initial value
a A/V Sync 0.0 ms to 74.0 ms 0.0 ms Relative Delay b Center –4.0 ms to +6.0 ms 0.0 ms c Surr L/R –4.0 ms to +6.0 ms 0.0 ms d Surr Back –4.0 ms to +6.0 ms 0.0 ms
a. A/V Sync
If a digital signal processor is connected, there may be times when the audio and video from a DVD or LD player is not output in perfect sync. The result is where the sound and picture do not match and the sound is heard too early. In such a case, use this setting to properly synchronize the audio and video. This setting can be set between 0 to
74.0 ms in 0.5-ms increments. Under normal circumstances, this can left at 0 ms. If set between 25.0 and 74.0 ms, upsampling is fixed to
24.0 ms. For input sources using the multi channel port, this setting will not appear.
Relative Delay b. Center, c. Surr L/R, d. Surr Back
Besides level and delay adjustments, the DTR-7.2 provides the ability to change or adjust the relative speaker position to fine tune the soundfield for the listener. This is accomplished using Onkyo’s unique Enhanced Spatial Positioning Algorithm. This adjustment provides 10 milliseconds of delay for the speakers, which is equivalent to moving the speaker 10 feet (3 meters) away. This adjustment is set up to provide –4.0 or +6.0 milliseconds (–4 or +6 feet/–1.2 or +1.8 meters) of adjustment to the listener’s position. Once the coarse adjustments--speaker level and distance adjustments--are made, the system is set up to provide a typical or broad surround environment. By adjusting the relative position of the speakers, we are able to alter the soundfield to be more spread out (deeper) or focused (shallower).
3-5. LFE Level Setup
This sub-menu is for setting the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) levels included in Dolby Digital and DTS software.

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

3-6. Mono Setup
The settings shown below are enabled when the listening mode is set to Mono.
Parameter Setting
Initial value
a Academy On, Off Off b Input Channel Auto L+R, Left, Right Auto L+R
a) Academy
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. This unit 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.”
b) Input Channel
This allows you to set which input channel to use for monaural sound.
Auto L+R: Select this under normal circumstances. When the input source is center channel only, this channel is
used for monaural sound input channel. Otherwise, left and right channels are mixed and the mixed signal is used for 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 different language. Select the channel with the language you desire.
3-7. Theater-Dimensional Setup
Select this to modify the Theater-Dimensional (T-D) listening modes. The parameters that can be set are shown in the table below.
Parameter Setting
Initial value

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, 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.
a) 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
b) 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).
c) 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.
d) Virtual Surr Level
This parameter adjusts the virtual surround level. 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.
e) 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.

Auto: When the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag (ID signal for DTS-ES), the listening mode is automatically changed to DTS­ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1. If the DTS source has no DTS-ES flag, the mode is changed to DTS 5.1.
On: When the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag, the listening mode is automatically changed to DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS­ES Matrix 6.1. If the DTS source has no DTS-ES flag, the mode is forced to be DTS-ES Matrix 6.1.
Off: Even when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag, the DTS­ES listening modes are not used. The DTS sources are always played in DTS 5.1 mode.
f) Pro Logic II Music Center Width
In Pro Logic II decoding, outstanding center signal will be output only from center speaker. When the center speaker is not used, the decoder divide the center signal equally to each front left and right speakers to create “phantom” center sound image. The Pro Logic II Music Center Width mode allows you to adjust where the center sound image is heard from. Depending on your setting, the center sound image will be heard from center speaker only, front left and right speakers (as phantom center sound image), or all three speakers (center, front left and right) in various level combinations. For home use, applying some width to center signal will improve the level balance for center and main speakers, and effect the width of the center sound image, or mass of the sound. Many of sound recordings processed for stereo playback will be reproduced better by controlling the parameter for this listening mode. 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.

Listening with headphones
To listen with headphones, plug a pair of headphones with a standard stereo plug into the Phones jack on the DTR-7.2 front panel. When you connect headphones, the unit will enter Stereo mode automatically and no sound will be heard from the speakers. When the headphones are unplugged, the DTR-7.2 returns to its original listening mode. When using the headphones, you can only use the Direct, Stereo, and Mono listening modes. If you have selected MULTI CH INPUT, you will hear sound only from the FRONT L and R channels. The headphone volume level can be adjusted at the Setup menu (see page 47). Note that the signal to the remote zone (Zone 2) will not be affected whether or not headphones are connected.
Adjusting the main volume adjusts the volume level output from all the speakers connected to the DTR-7.2 together. If headphones are connected, this also adjusts the volume heard from the headphone speakers. To adjust the volume, either press the VOL
buttons on the remote controller or turn the Master Volume dial. To increase the volume, turn the dial clockwise; to decrease the volume, turn the dial counterclockwise. The volume can be set to Min, 1 to 99, and Max (or –∞, –81 to +18 dB).

The other method is learning the commands from the other brands remote control directly into this remote controller (see page 64).
When in the SAT, CABLE and VCR mode, you may use the following buttons:
VOL MUTING: Activates the muting function at the DTR-7.2
: Adjusts the volume at the DTR-7.2

Learning a pre-programming code
The remote controller has three learning functions. One is entering the signal number for a remote controller of another brand that is pre­programmed. Another is a normal learning function that enables the remote controller to learn the codes from other remote controllers. And the last is a macro learning function that enables you to program a series of operations into the remote controller so that the operations can all be performed at once by pressing one button.

Caution:
With some brands components, some buttons may not work correctly. In this case, program the command separately.
Learning a pre-programming code
By learning a pre-programming code, you can make the RC-461M remote controller able to operate a product from another brand. The buttons that are used for operation are given on the next page.
1. Find the 3-digit number for the brand 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 RC­461M 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. Wait until the indicator turns off before releasing both buttons. Then the SEND/LEARN indicator lights again.
4. Within 30 seconds, enter the 3-digit code number.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly. 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, then program the
commands one by one to the buttons on the RC-461M remote controller.
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
cable and connecting it. 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-7.2 with an cable. You will then operate the DVD player by pointing the remote controller at the remote control sensor on the DTR-7.2. 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.

Programming procedure
When programming the commands of another remote controller to the RC-461M 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-461M 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-461M remote controller one at a time. Each command is then programmed to a different button on the RC-461M remote controller. Any button is programmable for this step except for the eight MODE buttons (RCVR, 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 2 to 6 inches (5 to 15 cm) apart.

2. While pressing and holding down the desired MODE button on the remote controller, press the ENTER button and then release both buttons.
When you press and hold down 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.
3. Press and release the button on the remote controller to which you want to transfer the next command.
You may select any button but 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.

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/Onkyo preset codes after you program new codes, you must first erase the new codes (see page 66).
The remote controller has 408 memory slots (8 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 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, 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, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 3.
If a failure occurs five times in row during programming, 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, 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.
See page 70 for how to erase the memorized commands from all buttons.

Programming a Macro function
You can program a different macro into the MODE MACRO button for each of the eight MODE buttons. The macro is then executed by pressing the appropriate MODE button and then pressing the MODE MACRO button. For example, to program the macro described above into the CD MODE button, perform the steps given below.
1. Press and hold down the desired MODE button (in this case, the CD MODE button), press the MODE MACRO button, and then release both buttons.
When you press the CD MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights and the CD MODE button lights green. When you press the MODE MACRO button, the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the indicator flashes and 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 MODE MACRO button to complete the programming.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly.
4. Run the macro to check to see if the macro has been properly programmed.

RC-461M
Tips:
If you erase or change the command of a button programmed in a 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 a 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.
Notes:
You may program up to 16 button operations into each macro function. If you try to program a 17th operation, it will be ignored, and programming is stopped.
If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 1.
If you perform an invalid operation during programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 1.
Running a Macro function
Perform the procedure below to run a macro function that you have programmed into the remote controller. After programming a macro, you should always run it at least once to make sure that it has been programmed properly.
1. Point the remote controller at the DTR-7.2 and press the CD MODE button.
2. Press the MODE MACRO, and verify that the devices operate properly.
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.

Programming the Direct Macro function
With the direct macro function, you can program a series of button operations as a macro into the DIRECT MACRO button so the macro can be executed with just one touch. Note that for the direct macro function, only one macro can be programmed. For example, to program the macro described on the previous page for the DIRECT MACRO button, perform the steps given below.
1. Press and hold down any one of the eight MODE buttons, press the DIRECT MACRO button, and then release both buttons.
When you press the MODE button, it lights green and the SEND/LEARN indicator lights. When you press the DIRECT MACRO 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 DIRECT MACRO button to complete the procedure.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly.
4. Check to see if the macro has been properly programmed.
Tips:
If you erase or change the command of a button programmed in the direct 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 direct macro in order to avoid incorrect operation.
The codes programmed into a direct 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.
Notes:
You may program up to 16 button operations into the direct macro function. If you try to program a 17th operation, it will be ignored, and programming is stopped.
If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 1.
If you perform an invalid operation during programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 1.
Running a Direct Macro function
Perform the procedure below to run a direct macro function that you have programmed into the remote controller. After programming a direct 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-7.2 and press the DIRECT MACRO 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.

When you press the MODE button, it lights green and the SEND/LEARN indicator lights. When you press the DIRECT MACRO button, the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the indicator flashes once.
2. Press the DIRECT MACRO button again.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly. The macro programmed to the DIRECT MACRO button is erased.
Notes:
If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the erasing procedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the erasing mode. Resume from Step 1.
Be aware that if you press a button other than DIRECT MACRO button in Step 2, then you will in effect be overwriting the previous direct macro with a new direct macro.
