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.

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-8.2. The DTR-8.2 has two component video input connectors to obtain the color information (Y, PB, 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.

YPB PR RCA type

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 receiver’s 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 receiver's 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.

If the monitor or projector is equipped with an S video output terminal, connect it to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO terminal with an S video cable. If it does not have an S video output terminal, connect its video output terminal to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO terminal using an RCA-type video connection cable. You do not need to connect to both the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO and MONITOR OUT VIDEO terminals. If the device has component video inputs, connect them to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.

Note:

Note that the Setup menu will only be displayed on the monitor connected to MONITOR OUT and not those connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.

If the video connection is made at COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 1, this must be changed at the Setup menu: Input Setup → Video Setup → Component Video (see page 38).

Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the audio output terminal on the satellite tuner or television to the same VIDEO 3 (or 4) IN audio jacks on the DTR-8.2. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

If the device has a digital output jack as well, be sure to also connect it to either a DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) or DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) jack on the DTR-8.2 depending on the device.

10. Connecting video camera, etc. (VIDEO 5)

If the device is equipped with an S video output terminal, connect it to the S VIDEO 5 IN terminal with an S video cable. If it does not have an S video output terminal, connect its video output terminal to the VIDEO 5 IN terminal using an RCA-type video connection cable. You do not need to connect to both the S VIDEO 5 IN and VIDEO 5 IN terminals. The VIDEO 5 digital input is fixed to the OPTICAL input on the front panel.

S Video output

With the initial settings of the DTR-8.2, the VIDEO 3 input source is set for digital input at the OPTICAL 3 jack, and the VIDEO 4 input source is set for digital input at the OPTICAL 4 jack.

If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be changed at the Setup menu: Input Setup → Digital Setup (see page 36).

9. Connecting a television monitor or projector (MONITOR OUT)

The DTR-8.2 is equipped with a simple Y/C separate circuit and simple Y/C mixed circuit. Since both the signal 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.

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 right and left speakers

Required for enjoying THX Surround EX, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, or DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 audio.

• Subwoofer

Produces powerful and heavy bass.

Surround back speakers

• Place these speakers behind the listener so that the angle between each speaker and the listener is approximately 30 degrees.

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

Subwoofer

A subwoofer is recommended for the highest bass effect.

Layout with dipolar speakers

Layout with monopolar speakers

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 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 listener’s ears when at the listening position.

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

NO!

• 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.

• Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the DTR-8.2.

• Connect either your surround back speakers or the speakers you will be using in the remote zone (Zone 2) to the SURR BACK SPEAKERS/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals (see page 24).

Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers

Outline

The DTR-8.2 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-8.2 is located is the main zone. In addition, the IR IN/OUT allows you to control the DTR-

8.2 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 SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals

If you are using a 5.1-channel speaker system in the main room, you can connect the speakers for the remote zone (Zone 2) to the open SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals. With this connection, select “Activated” for the Speaker Setup → Powered Zone 2 setting in the Setup menu (See page 32).

Operating components not reached by the remote controller signals (IR IN/OUT)

The following equipment (sold separately) is essential for operation:

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

• Multiroom A/V distribution and control systems from Niles and Xantech® to name a few

If the remote controller signal does not reach the DTR-8.2 remote sensor

If the DTR-8.2 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 for the infrared rays from the controller to reach.

With this connection, select “Main” for the Hardware Setup → IR IN Setup → Position setting in the Setup menu (see page 31).

Connecting antennas

To use the tuner of DTR-8.2, 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-8.2, 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.
