Before Using the DTR-7.4

Installing the Batteries

To open the battery compartment, press

the small hollow and slide off the cover.

Insert the two supplied batteries (AA/R6)

in accordance with the polarity diagram inside the battery compartment.

Put the cover onto the remote controller

and slide it shut.

Notes:

• The supplied batteries should last for about six months, although this will vary with usage.

• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try replacing both batteries.

• Don’t mix new and old batteries, or different types of batteries.

• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent possible leakage and corrosion.

• Dead batteries should be removed as soon as possible to prevent possible leakage and corrosion.

Using the Remote Controller

To use the remote controller, point it at the DTR-7.4’s remote control sensor, as shown below. The DTR-7.4’s Standby indicator ﬂashes while a signal is being received from the remote controller.

Remote control sensor

DTR-7.4

Standby indicator

30˚

Approx. 16 ft. (5 m)

Notes:

• The remote controller may not work reliably if the DTR-7.4 is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight or inverter-type ﬂuorescent lights. Keep this in mind when installing the DTR-7.4.

• If another remote controller of the same type is used in the same room, or the DTR-7.4 is installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote controller may not work reliably.

• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote controller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvertently, thereby draining the batteries.

• The remote controller may not work reliably if the DTR-7.4 is installed in a rack behind colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing the DTR-7.4.

• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obstacle between it and the DTR-7.4’s remote control sensor.

• You can set the transmission signal format to infrared (IR), or radio frequency (RF) for use with the optional RF Receiver. This is useful when, for example, the DTR-7.4 is installed in a rack or is not in line of sight of the remote controller.

Notes:

• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an attic or loft.

• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well away for tall buildings, preferably with a clear line of sight to your local FM transmitter.

• Outdoor antennas should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.

• For safety reasons, outdoor antennas should be situated well away from power lines and other high-voltage equipment.

• Outdoor antennas must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electric shock hazards.

Using the 75/300 ohm Antenna Adapter (Australian model only)

About Home Theater

Enjoying Home Theater

The DTR-7.4 has many excellent features to recreate a clear three-dimensional sound image and lively sound movement. This enables you to easily enjoy rich sound effects just like you were in a theater or concert hall at home.

For the DTR-7.4, We recommend you to use the THX-certiﬁed THX speaker system for THX Surround EX playback. When playing a DVD, you can enjoy sound effects provided by DTS, Dolby Digital or THX, depending on recording

formats. In addition, you can enjoy Integra’s proprietary DSP surround playback for TV or digital satellite broadcasts.

How to use speakers

When you have two speakers, they are used for front left and right speakers (2 channel playback). When you have three speakers, they are used for front left, front right and center speakers (3 channel surround

playback). When you have four speakers, they are used for front left, front right, surround left, and surround right speakers (4

channel surround playback). When you have ﬁve speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right

speakers (5 channel surround playback). When you have six speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right and

surround back speakers (6 channel surround playback). When you have seven speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right,

surround back left, and surround back right speakers (7 channel surround playback). No matter how many speakers you use, a subwoofer can be used to produce powerful and heavy bass sound (0.1

channel playback).

Front left and right speakers

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

Center speaker

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

Subwoofer

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

Surround left and right speakers

Enhance the sensation of being at a live performance by giving three-dimensional sound movement to the sound effects. Place the surround speakers at the side of the listener or at a position diagonally from the listener. Ideally, speakers should be placed symmetrically.

Surround back speakers

Enhance the sound space representation with surround channel signals. Recreating sound movement effects and sound ﬁelds behind the listener gives a more realistic experience.

• For optimum surround playback, set the distance between the listener and the speakers so that the time it takes the sound to reach the listener is constant. Also, you need to set each speaker volume level individually in order to balance the volume level between speakers (See pages 32 and 35).

Page 17

Speaker Placement

Before connecting the speakers, it is very important to place them properly to create the optimum sound space for your listening pleasure. During placement and connection, be sure to refer to the manuals and instructions that came with the speakers. Furthermore, be aware that for surround playback, the conﬁguration and placement of your speakers are both very important.

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings. Here, only typical examples 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 all at the same height.

• Place each speaker so that it is aimed at the location of the listener’s ears when at the listening position.

• Place the right and left peakers at equal distances on either side of the listening point.

Surround left and right speakers

• Place these speakers so that their height is 3 feet (1 meter) higher than that of the listener’s ears.

Subwoofer

When bass sound is reproduced, its volume and quality greatly depend on subwoofer placement. Those characteristics also depend on the shape of your listening room as well as your listening point. Generally, good bass sound is obtained when the subwoofer is placed in the corner of the room or at a point 1/3 the length of the room.

Corner

Surround back speakers

• Place these speakers so that their height is 3 feet (1 meter) higher than that of the listener’s

ears.

• When using surround back left and right speakers, place them behind the listener so that the angles between the lines from

8 9

each speaker to the listener and a line straight back from the listener are about 30 degrees.

10 Listening position

Most dipoles are marked with an arrow to indicate how they should be oriented in the room. For correct acoustical phasing in the room, dipolar surround speakers should be placed so that their arrows point forward toward the screen; and dipolar surround back speakers should be placed so that their arrows point toward each other.

Facilities and Connections

1/3 room length

To optimize the subwoofer placement, we recommend:

• Playing a movie or music source containing good quality bass sound,

• Experimenting while changing subwoofer’s position in the room, and

• Repositioning the subwoofer until you obtain the most out of the bass sound while ﬁxing the listening point.

Page 18

Connecting Speakers

After determining the layout of your speaker system, it is now necessary to connect the speakers correctly to your DTR-7.4.

You can also use banana plugs/connectors.

Caution: Connect only speakers with an impedance between 4 and 16 Ω to the DTR-7.4. If the impedance of even one speaker is between 4 and 6 Ω, be sure to set the speaker impedance setting accordingly (See page 30).

Notes:

• Even if you are using only one speaker or listening to monaural (mono) sound, never connect a single speaker in parallel to both the right and left-channel terminals.

–

• To prevent damage to circuitry, never short-circuit the positive (+) and negative (–) speaker wire.

• 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.

Use the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack to connect a subwoofer with a built-in power ampliﬁer. If your subwoofer does not have

Subwoofer

Front right speaker

a built-in ampliﬁer, connect an ampliﬁer to the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack and the subwoofer to the ampliﬁer.

• Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the DTR-7.4.

• Connect either your surround back speakers or the speakers you will be using in the remote zone (Zone

2) to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals (See page 66).

Using the Speaker Cable Labels

The positive speaker terminals on the DTR-7.4 are color coded for easy identiﬁcation. Attach the supplied speaker labels to the speaker cables, and then match the colors on the speaker cables to the corresponding terminals.

Connecting to Audio/Video Equipment

Here is an explanation of typical ways to connect various components to the DTR-7.4. There are many ways that any one component can be connected, and it is up to you to decide which method best ﬁts your situation. The directions given here are only one option and should only be thought of as such. It is best to fully understand the nature of each connector and terminal as well as those of your components and their features to ascertain which method of connection is best.

COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT

For DVD players or other devices that have component video connectors, the DTR-7.4 has two banks of component video input connectors (Y, P

B, PR) for direct

component video input. The DTR-7.4 also has one bank of component video output connectors for direct component video output to the matrix decoder of a television, projector, or other display device. By sending the pure component video signal directly, the signal forgoes the extra processing that normally would degrade the image. The result is vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike colors and crisp details.

VIDEO IN/OUT

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

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

• The Video 5 inputs are located on the front panel.

The ﬂow of the video signals is as follows:

Signals that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT are only output to COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT. When connecting a video player to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks, be sure to connect your television to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks. Signals that come in from VIDEO and S VIDEO IN are output to VIDEO, S VIDEO and COMPONENT VIDEO. When you connect a projector or monitor TV

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 an optical input or output jack, always use an optical ﬁber cable.

Connecting a Television Monitor or Projector (MONITOR OUT)

The DTR-7.4 is equipped with a simple Y/C separate circuit and simple Y/C mixed circuit. Since both the signals from the S VIDEO and VIDEO inputs are output to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO output, if the television or projector is equipped with an S video input, it is unnecessary to connect the video connectors. If it is equipped with only a video input, connect it to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO output. Using an RCA video connection cable, connect the video input jack (composite) of the device to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO jack of the DTR-7.4. Or if the device has an S video input jack, connect it to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO jack of the DTR-7.4 using an S video connection cable. Or if the device has component video inputs, connect them to the bank of COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on the DTR-7.4. When you use the connections described above, video signals that come in from S VIDEO and VIDEO IN are output to the TV, projector, etc.

Connecting -compatible AV Components

The

terminal on the DTR-7.4 is for connecting other Integra/Onkyo components equipped with the same terminal. When a component is connected to the terminal, it can be operated by the remote controller supplied with the DTR-7.4. In addition, when you connect a component to the

terminal, you can also

perform the system operations given below.

Power on/ready function

When the DTR-7.4 is in the standby state, if an

connected component is turned on, the DTR-7.4 also turns on and the input source selected at the DTR-7.4 automatically switches to that component.

Be aware that this function will not work if the power cord for the

-connected component is connected to the AC OUTLET on

the DTR-7.4, or if the DTR-7.4 has already been turned on.

Direct change function

When the play button is pressed on an

-connected component, the input source selected at the DTR-7.4 automatically changes to that component.

Power off function

When the DTR-7.4 is placed in the standby state, all

-connected components are also automatically put

into the standby state. Also, if you press the On button on the DTR-7.4 remote

controller while the DTR-7.4 is turned on, all

connected components (DVD players, CD players, MD recorders, tuners, etc.) are also turned on.

• When performing operations with components using the

system, do not use the

remote zone (Zone 2).

• For remote control operation, the audio connection cables must also be connected.

• If a component has two

terminals, you can use either one to connect to the DTR-7.4. The other one can be used to daisy chain with another component.

• With Integra/Onkyo DVD players, you can enter the pre-program code so that you can operate the DVD player directly with the remote controller without connecting the

terminals (See page 89).

b. Digital Format

Sets the digital signal to type given priority 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 cannot be selected. Although you can use this default setting as is, you may change it as desired depending on the input signal format or if you know that you will always be listening to a certain input signal format from a particular input source.

All: The digital signal suitable for the input signal will be preceded for playback. When there is no digital signal input, analog signal will be played. DTS: Select this if you play DTS-formatted CD in “All” mode and hear noise during fast-forward or rewind operation. Non-DTS sound input will not be output. PCM: Select this if you hear sound gap between PCM tracks such as ones on CD in “All” mode. NonPCM sound input will not be output.

Notes:

• When you play DTS-formatted CD or LD, be sure to

select “All” or “DTS.” If you select “PCM,” noise will be heard.

• If a DTS signal is not input when “DTS” is selected, the DTR-7.4 will not automatically switch to analog output even though “Auto” is selected with the Audio Selector button.

Notes on DTS:

• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when the “PCM” setting is selected on the DTR-7.4, the DTS encoded signal will not be decoded and noise will be output. This noise could damage the ampliﬁer and speakers. Therefore, be sure to select “All” or “DTS” and use the digital input jacks (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source.

• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD 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 with the “DTS” selected.

• The DTS indicator on the DTR-7.4 lights while a DTS source is played. When playback ﬁnishes and the DTS signal transmission stops, the DTR-7.4 remains in DTS mode and the DTS indicator remains lit. This prevents noise when you operate the pause or skip button on the player. Therefore, if the source is immediately switched from DTS to PCM, the PCM signal may not be played. In this case, stop the playback of the source on the player for about three seconds and then resume playback.

• You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from certain CD players and LD players even when you connect the player to the DTR-7.4 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the DTR-7.4 cannot recognize the signal as DTS data. Therefore you may hear noise when you play a DTS source while processing the signal.

• The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, 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.

Press the Display button on the DTR-7.4 or the remote controller.

the surround channel number is 1, it is monaural; when it is 0, there is no surround channel. When no LFE number is given, there is no LFE channel. Also, if there is no program format for the input signal, nothing will be displayed.

When the input signal is linear PCM

The sampling frequency is displayed. For example, the display “PCM fs: 44.1k” shows that the signal is PCM and that the sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz.

Dialog norm

Dialogue Normalization (Dialog Norm) is a feature of Dolby Digital. When playing back software that has been encoded in Dolby Digital, sometimes you may see a brief message in the front panel display that reads Dialog Norm xdB (“x” being a numeric value). Dialogue Normalization serves to let you know if the source material has been recorded at a higher or lower level than usual. 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 4 dB. In other words, the source material that you are listening to has been recorded 4 dB louder than usual. If you do not see a message, then no adjustment of the volume control is necessary.

When FM or AM is selected as the input source:

Adjusting the bass and treble

You can adjust the bass and treble levels at the Setup Menu → Audio Adjust Menu → Tone Control Sub-menu (See page 54). The treble level affects the front left and right speakers and the center speaker. The bass level affects the front left and right speakers, the center speaker, and the subwoofer. For multichannel sources, these dials will not work if the tone control is set to “Direct” or “Pure Audio.”

Page 44

Using the Listening Modes

The DTR-7.4’s surround sound enables you to enjoy movie theater or concert hall quality sound in your home. The conﬁguration of the speakers is very important for the surround sound effect. Refer to “About Home Theater” on page 16.

Before selecting a listening mode, be sure to complete the Speaker Setup (See page 32). Once the parameters have been set, it is not necessary to set them again. See pages 44-45 for information regarding how to select the listening mode.

Listening Modes

Mono

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

Pure Audio

The same as the direct mode except that the pure audio mode also turns off the display window, turns off the power supply to the video circuitry (resulting in a blacked-out screen), and minimizes the sources of noise. The result is high-ﬁdelity music playback true to the original source.

Direct

This mode delivers pure sound with minimal 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

All input sound is output from the left and right front speakers.

The subwoofer is also used for playback.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional)

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

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

Dolby Pro Logic II

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

Dolby Pro Logic II provides a Movie Mode designed for playing movies and a Music Mode designed for listening to music.

In the Movie Mode, the surround channels, which used to provide monaural output over only a narrow frequency range, now provide complete stereo output over the full frequency range. The result is movie viewing with a realistic feel of movement. This mode can be used with VHS and DVD videos with the mark and certain television programs.

The Music Mode uses the surround channels to provide a natural soundﬁeld that cannot be provided with normal stereo output. This mode can be used with music compact discs and other stereo sources.

Dolby D (Dolby Digital)

This mode is used for playing Dolby Digital sources. Dolby Digital is compressed digital data with a maxi-

mum of 5.1 channel surround sound. This source signal comes from DVDs and LDs that have the mark and therefore are recorded for 5.1 channel output.

• Dolby Digital EX

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

DTS Neo:6

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

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

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

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

DTS

This mode is used for playing DTS sources. DTS (Digital Theater System) is compressed digital data

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

Page 45

Using the Listening Modes —Continued

•

DTS-ES Discrete

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

• DTS-ES Matrix

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

• DTS 96/24

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

THX

THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by the world-renowned ﬁlm production company, Lucasﬁlm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas’ personal desire to make your experience of the ﬁlm soundtrack, in both movie theaters and in your home theater, as faithful as possible to what the director intended.

Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theaters called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theaters with similar equipment and conditions. This same soundtrack is then transferred directly onto LD, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for playback in a small home theater environment.

THX engineers developed patented technologies to translate accurately the sound from the movie theater environment into the home, correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. On this product, when the THX indicator is on, THX features are automatically added in Cinema Modes (e.g. THX Cinema, THX Surround EX).

• THX Cinema

This is the conventional 5.1 channel THX 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 THX Ltd. In a movie theater, ﬁlm soundtracks that have been encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right, surround right, surround left, and subwoofer channels. This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience, and sound localization than ever before.

When released to the home consumer market, movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX technology, may have a note to that effect on the packaging. A list of movies created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web site at http://www.dolby.com. The DTR-7.4 can play the 5.1 channel sources in THX surround EX mode, even if the source is not encoded in Dolby Digital Surround EX format. In this case, the sound actually output from the surround back channels depends on the source and may not ﬁt your tastes.

Digital Signal Processing (DSP) modes

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for playing back monaural recording such as old movie soundtracks. The center channel delivers the unprocessed original sound, whereas the other channels deliver the center-channel sound processed with the appropriate reverberation. This allows you to enjoy monaural sound with the atmosphere of a movie theater.

Enhance

This mode reproduces a natural surround environment by using seven speaker channels. The sound effects move 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 at 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.

This sub-menu allows you to adjust for the volume differences between your various input source components.

When switching input sources, you may ﬁnd that the output level for different components or input sources connected to the DTR-7.4 is different even though the main volume setting is the same. Under normal circumstances, you would then have to change the volume setting each time you change the input source. This Intelli Volume setting allows you to preset a volume level for each input source separately so that when you do switch from one input source to another, the DTR-7.4 adjusts the volume accordingly and the volume stays the same.

background noises or human conversations, the movie must be played back at higher volumes. When this setting is set to “High” or “Low,” the dynamic range of the sound is narrowed down to allow you to hear easily minute sounds at low volumes. This function is especially useful if you wish to play a movie at a low volume during the nighttime. This can be set to either “Off” or “Low,” or “High.” On the remote controller, press the scroll wheel, and then press the L Night button repeatedly. However, when the DTR-7.4 enters the standby state, this setting returns to the default setting (“Off”).

a.A/V Sync : 0.0ms

Relative Delay b.Center : 0.0ms c.Surr L/R : 0.0ms d.Surr Back : 0.0ms

Quit:[SETUP]

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 and 74.0 ms in 0.5 ms increments. Under normal circumstances, this can left at 0 ms. If the delay time is set between 24.5 and 74.0 ms, and upsampling is used, the delay will be ﬁxed at 24.0 ms. Note that a change in the setting will not be displayed.

Relative Delay

b. Center, c. Surr L/R, d. Surr Back

Besides level and delay adjustments, this setting provides the ability to change or adjust the relative speaker position to ﬁne tune the soundﬁeld for the listener. This is accomplished using Integra’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 (i.e., 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).

Note:

Surr Back cannot be selected if the Surr Back/Zone 2 setting in the Surr Back/Zone 2 Sub-menu of the Hardware Setup Menu is set to “Zone 2.”

Setting the Low Frequency Effect Levels (LFE Level)

This sub-menu is for setting the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) levels included in Dolby Digital and DTS software.

3-5.LFE Level Setup

a.Dolby Digital: 0dB

b.DTS : 0dB

Quit:[SETUP]

a. Dolby Digital

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

b. DTS

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

Detailed Settings for Each Listening Mode

Mono Sub-menu

The settings of this sub-menu shown below are enabled when the listening mode is set to “Mono.”

3-6.Mono Setup

a.Academy Filter:Off

b.Input Channel

:AutoL+R

Quit:[SETUP]

a. Academy Filter

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 high-frequency 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 highfrequency rolloff, and thus sound overly bright and hissy.

The DTR-7.4 includes this “Academy Filter,” which is based on contemporary playback practices for such ﬁlms over wide-range systems.

This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”

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, this center channel is used as the monaural sound input channel. Otherwise, the left and right channels are mixed and the mixed signal is used as the monaural sound input channel. Left/Right: You will need to select either left or right when playing a video source that contains bilingual data. In such a case, the left and right channels will contain the audio for different languages. Select the channel with the language you desire.

a. Listening angle

The listening angle is the angle subtended by the front left and right speakers as seen from the listener. The processing for the virtual surround will be based on this angle. 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

In the Theater-Dimensional mode, if the speaker system has a center speaker, the center channel signal can be output from the center speaker. For instance, in systems where the front left and right speakers are small, use of the center speaker may provide a better sound space and reduce the load on the front speaker. (For the proper soundﬁeld, it is important that the speaker levels and speaker distances among the front right, front left, and center speakers are matched. In order to ensure this, make sure that the settings in the Speaker Distance Submenu and Level Calibration sub-menu are set correctly.)

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

c. Front Expander

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

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

d. Virtual Surr Level

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

e. Dialog Enhance

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

On: Select to enhance the vocal ranges of the center channel signal. Off: Select to output the center channel signal at the regular level and frequency characteristics.

c. Dolby Digital EX (Dolby D)

If you have surround back speakers connected, use this setting to select whether or not you will use Dolby EX playback.

Auto: When the source has an EX ﬂag (ID signal for Surround EX), the playback is automatically changed to Dolby Digital EX. If the source has no EX ﬂag, the playback is changed to Dolby Digital.

On: The playback is set to Dolby Digital EX. Off: The playback is set to normal Dolby Digital.

If your surround channel is monaural or you do not have a surround channel, then the playback will be normal Dolby Digital regardless of the above setting.

You can easily change the Dolby Digital EX mode settings using the remote controller. While playing a Dolby Digital source, after displaying the current listening mode with a press of the Surround button, each press of the Surround button on the remote controller cyclically changes the Dolby Digital EX mode in the order of “Auto,” “On,” and “Off.”

d. DTS-ES

This setting selects the DTS-ES mode.

Auto: Select to have the listening mode change automatically to DTS-ES Discrete or DTS-ES Matrix when the DTS source has the DTS-ES ﬂag (ID signal for DTS-ES). If the DTS source has no DTS-ES ﬂag, the mode is changed to DTS 5.1. On: Select to have the listening mode change automatically to DTS-ES Discrete or DTS-ES Matrix when the DTS source has the DTS-ES ﬂag, and to DTS + Neo:6 when the DTS source has no DTS-ES ﬂag. Off: Select to not use DTS-ES listening modes even when the DTS source has the DTS-ES ﬂag. With this setting, the DTS sources are always played in DTS

5.1 mode. You can also easily change the DTS-ES mode settings using the remote controller. While playing a DTS source, after displaying the current listening mode with a press of the Surround button, each press of the Surround button on the remote controller cyclically changes the DTSES mode in the order of “Auto,” “On,” and “Off.”

e. Pro Logic II Music Panorama

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

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

f. Pro Logic II Music Dimension

Use this setting to gradually adjust the soundﬁeld forward or backward. It varies between 0 and 6 in steps of 1 and the default value is 3.

The setting of “3” is the normal position. Change the setting to “2” or lower to move the sound space forward and setting to “4” or higher to move the sound space backward.

If the stereo recording has excessive broadness or a too strong surroundness, move the sound space forward to get the appropriate sound balance. In contrast, if the ste-

reo recording feels somewhat like monaural or has narrowness, move the sound space backward to get more surroundness.

g. Pro Logic II Music Center Width

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

The Pro Logic II Music Center Width mode allows you to adjust from where the center sound image is heard. Using this, you can have the soundﬁeld be heard from the center speaker only, from the front left and right speakers only (as a phantom center sound image), or from all three speakers (center, front left and right) in various level combinations. The soundﬁeld varies between 0 and 7 in steps of 1 and the default value is 3.

For home use, applying some width to the center signal will improve the level balance for the center and main speakers, and will effect the width of the center sound image, or “weight” of the sound. Many sound recordings processed for stereo playback will be reproduced better by proper control of this setting. The recommended setting for Pro Logic II Music mode is “3.” This allows you to easily distinguish the Pro Logic II Music mode from the Pro Logic II Movie mode whose setting is automatically set to “0.”

h. Center Image

DTS Neo:6 derives a center channel from 2 channel PCM and analog sources.

In the cinema mode, for Lt/Rt ﬁlm soundtracks, sounds steered to the center are subtracted from the left and right channels.

In the music mode, the intent in the front channels is less one of steering and more one of stabilizing the front image by augmenting it with a center channel, while preserving the original perspective of the stereo mix. Therefore, the derived center is never fully subtracted from the left and right channels.

Center Image is the factor controlling the amount of subtraction. It varies between 0 and 5 in steps of 1 and the default value is 3.

When Center Image=5, the factor is zero and nothing is subtracted from the left and right channels. When Center Image=0, the center channel is subtracted from the left and right channels at half level (–6 dB) for each channel.

The signal level sent to the center channel output is not affected by Center Image.

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

Center Image is only enabled when the listening mode is DTS Neo:6 Music.

a. Volume Display

You can choose from two ways of displaying the volume setting on the screen.

Absolute: This displays the volume with a minimum of 0 for no sound and a maximum of 100. As a reference, the volume setting of Ref (82) is equivalent to 0 decibels 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 82 of the absolute display method. With this display method, the minimum value is –∞, the next highest is –81, and the maximum value is +18.

b. Muting Level

This sets the attenuation level during playback when the MUTING button is pressed on the remote controller. This can be set to –∞, or between –50 and –10 decibels in 10 decibel increments.

c. Maximum Volume

This setting allows you to set the maximum volume that can be output with the Master Volume dial. Setting a maximum volume allows you to prevent components from being damaged by excessively loud volumes. For the absolute volume display method, this can be set between 50 and 99. For the relative volume display method, this can be set between –32 and +17 decibels. To not set a maximum volume, select “Off.”

d. Power On Volume

This sets a designated volume to which the DTR-7.4 will be set every time that the power is turned on. This prevents the DTR-7.4 from suddenly outputting very loud sounds if it is turned on while it is set to an extremely high volume. For the absolute volume display method, this can be set between 0 and 100. For the relative volume display method, this can be set to –∞, or between –81 and +18 decibels. To have the DTR-7.4 turned on with its current volume setting, set this to “Last.”

Enjoying Music in the Remote Zone

The section explains how to turn on, select an input source, and adjust the volume for Zone 2.

Note:

To control Zone 2 with the remote controller, you must first press its Zone 2 button, and then press the next button within five seconds (i.e., while the DTR-7.4’s Standby indicator is flashing).

Zone 2

Point the remote controller at the DTR-7.4 and press the Zone 2

button followed by the On button.

This activates Zone 2 and, if connected to the DTR-7.4’s 12V TRIGGER OUT, turns on the Zone 2 amp.

To do this on the DTR-7.4, press the Zone 2 button.

To select the Zone 2 input source with the remote controller, press the Zone 2 button and then roll the scroll wheel.

The name of the selected Zone 2 source appears on the display.

To do this on the DTR-7.4, press the Zone 2 button, and then press an input source button within eight seconds.

If you select AM or FM, you can use the remote controller’s CH/Disc +/– button to select the presets.

To set the main room and Zone 2 sources simultaneously, press the Zone 2 button repeatedly until “Z2 Sel: SOURCE” appears on the display.

Now use the scroll wheel or input source buttons to select the source.

Zone 2

To adjust the Zone 2 volume with the remote controller, press the

To do this on the DTR-7.4, use the

Level

cursor buttons.

If your Zone 2 receiver/integrated amp is connected to the DTR-7.4’s AUDIO ZONE 2 OUT L/R outputs, use the volume control on the receiver/integrated amp.

Zone 2

To turn off Zone 2 with the remote controller, press the Zone 2 button followed by the Standby button.

Standby

To do this from the DTR-7.4, press the Zone 2 button, and then press the Off button within eight seconds.

Notes:

• If the Sleep function has been set, any Zone 2 component will turn off along with the DTR-7.4 when the speciﬁed sleep time expires. To use the Sleep function with Zone 2 only, set the Sleep function and then set the DTR-7.4 to Standby.

• Only analog input sources are output by the PRE OUT SURR BACK/ZONE 2 outputs and the SURR BACK/ ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals. Digital input sources are not output. If no sound is heard when an input source is selected, check if it’s connected to analog inputs.

• Since the Zone 2 function and the REC OUT outputs use the same circuitry, if the Rec Out button is pressed, Zone 2 will be turned off.

• When the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 outputs (SPEAKERS/PRE OUT) are set to Zone 2 (page 67), listening modes that need surround back speakers (i.e., Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, and THX Surround EX) are not available.

• While Zone 2 is active, functions will not work.

• While Zone 2 is active, the Pure Audio listening mode cannot be selected for the main room.

• You can’t select different radio bands for Zone 2 and the main room. For example, if you select FM for the main room, then FM will also be selected for Zone 2.

Page 69

Operating Components not Reached by the Remote Controller Signals (IR IN/OUT)

In order to use the remote controller to control the DTR-7.4 from a remote location, you will need to prepare a multi-room kit (sold separately) such as one of those given below:

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

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

and Xantech

RF Receivers also can be used with the remote controller to control the DTR-7.4 from a remote location. To use RF Receivers, set the Transmission Signal Format setting to “RF.” (See page 70 for details.)

If Remote Controller Signal Does not Reach the DTR-7.4 Remote Sensor

If the DTR-7.4 is located inside a cabinet or other enclosure where the infrared rays from the remote controller cannot enter, then operation with the remote controller will not be possible. In such a case, it will be necessary to install a remote sensor at a location outside of the cabinet that the infrared rays from the controller can reach.

With this connection, select “Main” for the Hardware Setup → Remote Setup → Position in the Setup Menu (See page 31).

Using the Remote Controller with Radio Frequency

Changing the Remote Controller’s Transmission Signal Format (IR/RF)

You can set the remote controller’s transmission signal format to either infrared (IR) or radio frequency (RF). The default setting is IR. This is useful when, for example, the DTR-7.4 is installed in a rack or is not in line of sight of the remote controller as it allows you to use a commercially available RF receiver to pick up commands from the remote controller, which are then fed to the DTR-7.4 via its IR IN socket. For this to work, you must assign the same ID and channel to the remote controller and RF receiver.

Custom

Press and hold the Custom button for more than three seconds.

The remote controller enters Custom mode.

Roll the scroll wheel to select “SETUP,” and then press the scroll wheel.

Roll the scroll wheel to select the same channel as the RF receiver, and then press the scroll wheel.

Channels 0 to 3 can be selected. If the ID and channel have been set successfully, “OK” appears on the display.

Roll the scroll wheel to select “IR/ RF,” and then press the scroll wheel.

Roll the scroll wheel to select “IR” or “RF,” and then press the scroll wheel.

When you select “IR.”

If you select “RF,” roll the scroll wheel to select the same ID as the RF receiver, and then press the scroll wheel.

IDs 0 to 9 and A to F can be selected.

Enjoying Net Audio

Features

The DTR-7.4 is a network audio client that is connected via a LAN to the Network Audio Server with Net-Tune System Protocol and allows you to enjoy music ﬁles saved on the server, as well as Internet radio, from anywhere in your home.

Internet radio features

The DTR-7.4 provides enhanced support for Internet radio and allows you to:

• Listen to both WMA and MP3 audio streamed from Internet radio stations

• Select stations by genre, location, or language

• Preset up to 30 Internet radio stations

Net-Tune Features

The Network Audio Server distributes music ﬁles through LAN to the DTR-7.4. The DTR-7.4 plays distributed music data whenever you need. In the connection between the Network Audio Server and the DTR-7.4, the standard TCP/IP network protocol and the Integra/Onkyo’s proprietary NTSP protocol is used for music distribution through LAN. The NTSP protocol handles not only data for music itself but also additional music information including the name of tracks and artists, enabling high usability. The Network Audio Server supports WAVE (PCM) and MP3 formats. The WAVE format has high sound quality (equivalent to CD) with no compression. The MP3 format is widely used through Internet environment and has near-CD quality with compression.

Hint: File Format:

For details on the Network Audio Server or the Net-Tune related products, go to the URL below. http://www.integrahometheater.com/

■

Minimum Internet Connection Requirements:

• Broadband Internet Connection

• DHCP (Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol)

based network (requires a DHCP-enabled router)

• 100Base-TX switch built-in broadband router

(recommended)

Notes:

• To enjoy music on Internet Radio, it is assumed that you provide a broadband Internet connection on which you can successfully run a web browser. If you have any problem in connecting to the Internet, consult with your ISP.

• If your ISP contract assumes manual conﬁguration of network settings, you need to manually conﬁgure your network settings as described in “Network Setup Menu” (see page 76).

• The DTR-7.4 does not support network settings for PPPoE connections; if your ISP contract requires PPPoE, therefore, you must have a gateway/router with PPPoE support.

• You may have to set up a proxy server to listen to Internet radio, depending on the ISP you choose. If your PC is conﬁgured to use a proxy server for Internet access, the DTR-7.4 must also be conﬁgured the same way. For more information, see “Proxy Setup Sub-menu” (see page 77).

• The DTR-7.4 is designed to take advantage of the DHCP and AutoIP functionality, thereby automatically conﬁguring the network settings. If you opt not to use the DHCP and AutoIP functionality, you should manually conﬁgure the network settings. For more information, see “IP Address Sub-menu” (see page 77).

Network Setup Menu

Before you can use the DTR-7.4 to play music contained in the music library on the Network Audio Server and listen to Internet radio, you must correctly conﬁgure the DTR-7.4’s network settings so that it can connect to your LAN and the Internet. It is strongly recommended to use a broadband connection (via an xDSL or CATV leased line) and a router. If you are connected to the Internet via a narrowband dialup connection, you may not be able to enjoy Internet radio as you expect or at all. Before setting up the DTR-7.4, make sure that you are already using a router that provides Internet access and that the DTR-7.4 is correctly connected with your router or hub via a LAN cable. For more information on Internet connectivity, consult with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or refer to the

router documentation.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol) and AutoIP are mechanisms for network conﬁguration,

which assign IP addresses automatically to network devices such as the DTR-7.4, PC, and broadband router. DNS (Domain Name System) is a mechanism which translates domain names into IP addresses or vice versa. Domain names such as www.onkyo.co.jp are used for Web browsing, and IP addresses such as 210.199.170.69 are used for actual network data transfer.

Operating Onkyo Products Using the Remote Controller

The RC-550M remote controller is a useful tool that can not only operate the DTR-7.4, but also all the other components of your home theater as well. To operate any component, ﬁrst press the Mode button on the remote controller that corresponds to the component that you wish to control. Then simply press the desired operation button and the component will operate accordingly. To operate a digital satellite tuner, cable, VCR, or television with the remote controller, ﬁrst program the signal to the button. There are two methods. One method is selecting the name of a different brand from the table, entering the setting number listed, and calling up the pre-programming code (See page 89). The other method is sending the commands from the other brand’s remote control directly into this remote controller (See page 94).

Operating Onkyo Products Using the

Connection

Connecting your -compatible Onkyo CD player, MD recorder, DVD player, or cassette recorder to the

DTR-7.4 via allows you to control your system with the DTR-7.4’s remote controller by pointing it at the DTR-7.4. This allows you to control components that are out of sight, for example, in a cabinet. Since you don’t have to enter any special codes, or do any programming,

allows you to control these components quickly and

easily. See page 26 for connection information.

Note:

To use the function, you must make an connection and an analog RCA/phono connection between the AV component and your DTR-7.4, even if they are connected digitally.

Using the Remote Controller with Other Components

You can use the DTR-7.4’s remote controller (RC550M) to control your other AV components, including those made by other manufacturers. To do this you can:

• Enter a remote control code for the component that you want to control (e.g., DVD, TV, VCR).

• Learn commands directly from the other component’s remote controller (see page 94).

• Use the Macro function to learn a sequence of actions (see page 95).

• You can also edit the remote controller modes (see page 97).

Entering a Remote Control Code

By entering the appropriate remote control code for each of your components, you can control each component by selecting the relevant remote controller mode: DVD, TV, VCR, CBL (cable), or SAT (satellite).

Custom

Look up the appropriate remote control code for the component.

See “Remote Control Codes” on page 90-91.

Press and hold down the Custom button for more than three seconds.

The remote controller enters Custom mode.

Use the number buttons to enter the 4-digit remote control code.

If the code is accepted, the following appears on the display for a while, and then the normal display reappears.

If the code is not accepted, after the message “RETRY” has been displayed, the code entry display reappears, and you should try entering the code again. To cancel this procedure at any point, press the Custom button.

Select the remote controller mode, point the remote controller at the component, and check its operation.

The remote controller buttons that can be used in DVD mode are shown on page 84. Those that can be used with the TV, VCR, CBL, and SAT modes are listed on pages 92 and 93.

Roll the scroll wheel to select “PRGRM,” and then press the scroll wheel.

Roll the scroll wheel to select the the remote controller mode you want to use with the component, and then press the scroll wheel.

Using the Remote Controller with Other Components —Continued

Learning Commands from Another Remote Controller

You can teach the DTR-7.4’s remote controller new commands simply by transmitting commands from another remote controller one at time. For example, by transmitting the Play and Stop commands from your CD player’s remote controller, the DTR-7.4’s remote controller can be taught to transmit those commands

when its Play and Stop buttons are pressed in CD mode. This is convenient when you want to add commands to

buttons after entering a remote control code (page 89).

Custom

Press and hold the Custom button for more than three seconds.

The remote controller enters Custom mode.

Roll the scroll wheel to select “LEARN,” and then press the scroll wheel.

Roll the scroll wheel to select the the remote controller mode you want to teach a new command, and then press the scroll wheel.

The following remote controller modes can be selected: DVD, TV, VCR, CBL, or SAT.

On the DTR-7.4’s remote controller, press the button you want to teach the new command.

If you press a button that cannot be taught a new command, the message “RETRY” appears and you should press another button.

Notes:

• The following buttons cannot be taught new commands: LIGHT, Customs, Macro, Mode, Input, Zone 2, and the scroll wheel button.

• The DTR-7.4’s remote controller can learn a total of 150 commands. However, the commands of some remote controllers may use a lot of memory, in which case, this total will be reduced.

• If the message “FULL” appears, the remote controller cannot learn any more commands because its memory is full.

• By default, the DTR-7.4’s remote controller knows the commands for controlling an Onkyo CD player, cassette deck, DVD player, and MD player (e.g., Play, Stop, Pause, etc., buttons). You can teach these buttons new commands, although the defaults will be restored if the remote controller is reset.

• To teach a new command to a button that has already been taught a command, simply repeat this procedure.

• Like most remote controllers, the DTR-7.4’s remote controller uses infrared. Commands from remote controllers that don’t use infrared cannot be learnt.

• When the remote controller’s batteries expire, all learnt commands will be lost and will have to learnt all over again, so don’t discard your other remote controllers.

Point the remote controllers at each other, about 2 to 6 inches (5– 15 cm) apart, and then, on the other remote controller, press the button whose command you want to learn.

When the command has been learnt successfully, “OK” appears on the display. You may need to press the button several times.

If the command is not learnt successfully, after the message “FAIL” has been displayed, the mode select display reappears (step 3), and you should try again.

To teach the DTR-7.4’s remote controller more new commands, repeat steps 3 through 5.

Press the Custom button when you’ve ﬁnished.
