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

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.

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try using a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.

FM 75

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).

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.

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.

Facilities and Connections

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).

nect the power cord at this time.

Note:

Any components connected via will also be turned on when the remote controller’s On button is pressed.

Memory backup

The DTR-7.4 uses a battery-less memory backup system in order to retain radio presets and other settings when it is unplugged or in the case of a power failure. Although no batteries are required, the DTR-7.4 must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the backup system. Once it has been charged, the DTR-7.4 will retain the settings for several weeks, although this depends on the environment and time will be shorter in humid climates.

Setup Menu

When making the various settings required to conﬁgure your DTR-7.4 for optimum performance, you can either use the OSD Menu that appears on your television monitor or you can use the display on the front of the DTR-7.4. The OSD Menu is a settings menu that is displayed on your TV monitor. For your reference when performing the setting procedures, this manual shows both the OSD Menu displayed on your television monitor and the display on the front of the DTR-7.4.

The Setup Menu consists of the Basic Menu that is divided up into 4 menus, the Hardware Setup Menu, the Speaker Setup Menu, the Input Setup Menu, and the Audio Adjust Menu, and the Advanced Menu that contains the menus of the Basic Menu, the Preference Menu, and the Network Setup Menu. These menus are then divided up into various submenus, and these contain settings for you to optimize your home theater as you wish.

The display shown below is an example. The actual contents of your display may differ depending on the model of your region and the selected input source.
