7. Water and Moisture – Do not use the appliance near water –for

example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

8. Accessories – Do not place the appliance on an unstable cart,

stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

9. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The appliance should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided.

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.

Connecting your video components

Below is an example of how you can connect your video components to the DTR-8.3. Refer to the diagram above for the following connection examples.

COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT

For DVD players or other devices that have component video connectors, the DTR-8.3 has two banks of component video input connectors (Y, P

8.3 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 detail.

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 VIDEO and S VIDEO INPUT are output to VIDEO, S VIDEO and COMPONENT VIDEO. However, 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.

Connecting speakers

Before connecting the speakers, it is very important to place them properly for the optimum sound space for your listening pleasure. Be sure to refer to the instruction manuals that came with the speakers during placement and connection. Furthermore, be aware that for surround playback, the configuration and placement of your speakers are both very important. For THX surround EX playback, we recommend that you use a THX speaker system that is certified by THX 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 Dolby Digital EX, 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 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 each speaker to the listener and a line straight back from the

8 9

listener are less than 30 degrees.

Subwoofer

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

Corner

1/3 room length

Minimum speaker configuration for surround sound playback

• Front right and left speakers

• Surround right and left speakers

The sound recorded for the center speaker and the subwoofer will be properly distributed to the front right and left speakers for optimized surround playback.

Speaker placement

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings. Here, only typical example of speaker placement and recommendations are shown. In order to create the optimum conditions for the best sound quality, be sure to place all the speakers so that the greatest difference between the distances of each speaker to the listening position is less than 20 feet (6 meters).

Important points regarding speaker placement

Front left and right speakers and center speaker

• Place these three speakers 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 loudspeakers at an equal distance 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.

For optimizing the subwoofer placement, we recommend you to:

• Play a movie or music source containing good quality base sound,

• Take some experimenting while changing subwoofer’s position

in the room, and

• Try different positioning until you get the most out of the base sound while fixing the listening point.

Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers

The DTR-8.3 allows you to watch and listen to two separate input sources at the same time. This allows you to, for example, place speakers and a television in two different rooms so that two or more people can enjoy two different movies at the same time. The room where the DTR-8.3 is actually located is referred to as the main room while the separate room is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2). In addition, the IR IN/OUT terminal of the DTR-8.3 allows you to control the DTR-8.3 from the remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even though the remote zone is physically separated. The diagram below shows how to make the proper connections for the remote zone.

When using the ZONE 2 OUT terminals

When you have connected all the speakers for 7.1-channel audio in the main room, connect the speakers as shown below. The ZONE 2 OUT terminal is a constant output. Connect to the LINE input of the amplifier (CD, tape, etc.). Adjust the volume with the amplifier connected to the ZONE 2 OUT terminal.

1. Connect the DTR-8.3 to the amplifier for the remote zone.

2. Connect the remote zone speaker cables to the speaker terminals on the amplifier.

3. Connect the DTR-8.3 to the monitor for the remote zone.

Note: The SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT and SURR BACK/ZONE

2 SPEAKER terminals

In order to have 7.1-channel playback in the main room, you must set the Surr Back/Zone 2 setting to “Surr Back.” When set to “Surr Back,” the surround back signals are output from the SURR BACK/ ZONE 2 PRE OUT and SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER terminals. Connect the surround back speakers to the SURR BACK/ ZONE 2 SPEAKER terminals or to the speakers terminals of the power amplifier connected to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT terminals. When you are not using the surround back speakers in the main room and using the internal amplifier to power the speakers for the remote zone (Zone 2), set the Surr Back/Zone 2 setting to “Zone 2.” When set to “Zone 2,” the Zone 2 signals are output from the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT and SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER terminals. Connect the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER terminals or to the speakers terminals of the power amplifier connected to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT terminals. At this time, the main room is switched to 5.1 channel playback mode, and therefore you cannot select the THX Surround EX or DTS-ES, which requires the sound back.

Calibrating the speaker levels

(1) When this sub-menu is entered, the DTR-8.3 will emit a pink

noise from the front left speaker. At this time, the volume of the pink noise will automatically increase to a predetermined reference level (0dB). Remember the volume level of this noise and then press the

cursor button. (Note that this can be adjusted in 1-decibel increments.) The DTR-8.3 will now emit the pink noise from the center speaker.

(2) Using the

and cursor buttons, adjust the volume level of the noise from the center speaker so that it is at the same level as that was emitted from the front left speaker. You can jog back and forth between the speakers to help you compare the volume levels.

(3) Press the

cursor button again. The DTR-8.3 will now emit the

pink noise from the front right speaker.

(4) Repeat steps (2) and (3) above for the front right and other

speakers until all speakers are adjusted to the same volume level.

Notes:

• Speakers that you selected “No” or “None” for in the Speaker Config Sub-menu will not appear.

• To accurately set the output levels, it is recommended to use a handheld sound pressure level (SPL) meter. Set the meter to Cweighting and slow averaging. A Radio Shack

SPL meter or equivalent is recommended. Using the internal channel noise generators, set each channel so that you read a 75 decibel sound pressure level.

1. Press the Test button.

You will hear a pink noise will be emitted from the front left speaker.

(1) Remember the volume level of this noise and then press the CH

Sel button. The DTR-8.3 will now emit the pink noise from the center speaker.

(2) Using the +/– buttons, adjust the volume level of the noise from

the center speaker so that it is at the same level as that that was emitted from the front left speaker.

(3) Press the CH Sel button again. The DTR-8.3 will now emit the

pink noise from the front right speaker. Use the +/– buttons to adjust the volume of the noise from the

front left speaker so that it is the same level as that that was emitted from the center speaker. The pink noise level can be adjusted in 1-decibel increments.

(4) Use the CH Sel button to select other speakers and adjust the

volumes until all speakers are adjusted to the same level.

This menu allows you to make the various settings concerning the signals input from the various input sources that you use with the DTR-8.3. The settings made in this menu are valid for the input source that is currently selected with the input source buttons at the front panel and, therefore, these settings are made separately for each input source. Each input source may have a great number of settings that are difficult to keep track of, so we recommend making a chart to record what you have set and for which component to prevent confusion later.

To perform this setting, you must first select a digital input source at the front panel and then set the name of the digital input jack it is connected to with this setting.

For example, if the input source selected at the front panel is CD and the compact disc player is connected to DIGITAL INPUT OPT 1, then select “OPT1” here. If the input source selected is not connected to a digital input, then select “----.”

OPT1-4: Select if the input source is connected to any of the DIGITAL INPUT OPT jacks 1 through 4.

Input Setup

b. Digital Format

Sets the digital signal type to which priority is given during signal detection at the selected digital terminal. The default setting is “All.” If “----” is selected for this input source at the Digital Input setting, then this setting will not appear. Although you can use this default setting as is, you may change it as desired depending on the input signal format or if you know that you will always be listening to a certain input signal format from a particular input source.

All: Select for automatic detection of the input signal format. The input signal format (Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM or Analog) used by the selected input source is detected automatically to execute the required decoding process.

DTS: Select for DTS signal processing. The decoding process is executed only when DTS signals are input.

PCM: Select for PCM signal processing. The decoding process is executed only when PCM signals are input.

Notes:

• If “All” is selected and a compact disc or LD is fast-forwarded during playback, decoded PCM signals may produce a skipping sound. In such cases, change the setting to “PCM.”

• If a DTS signal is not input when “DTS” is selected, the DTR-

8.3 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-8.3, 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 in the “DTS” selected.

• The DTS indicator on the DTR-8.3 lights while a DTS source is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal transmission stops, the DTR-8.3 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-8.3 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the DTR-8.3 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.

2-2. Multichannel Setup Sub-menu (When NET AUDIO is not selected as the input source)

When any input source other than NET AUDIO is selected, this submenu appears and allows you to set the multichannel input setting. The setting in this sub-menu is normally set to “No,” and only needs to be changed to “Yes” if a DVD player, MPEG decoder, or other component that has a multi channel port is connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port for 5.1-channel, 6.1-channel, or 7.1channel audio. For example, if a DVD player is connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port, then select DVD at the front panel as the input source, bring up this sub-menu, and select “Yes” for the Multichannel setting. You can only select Multichannel with the AUDIO SELECTOR button when “Yes” is selected here.

Input source signals

a. Analog/PCM

Analog sources consist of LP records, FM and AM broadcasts, cassette tapes, and the such. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is one form of digital audio signals and is recorded directly onto compact discs and DVDs without compression.

b. PCM fs=96k

Digital PCM sources recorded with a sampling rate of 96 kHz.

c. Dolby D (Dolby Digital)

Dolby Digital is compressed digital data with a maximum of 5.1channel surround sound. This source signal comes from DVDs and LDs that have the output.

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. This data is automatically used by the Dolby Digital decoder to adjust the output volume of the source material without affecting the volume of your amplifier. Therefore, even if source material volume changes, you will not have to adjust the volume on your amplifier.

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 of movies separately 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

Same as the direct mode except that the pure audio mode also turns off the display window and on screen display, turns off the power supply to the video circuitry, and minimizes the sources of noise. The result is high-fidelity music playback true to the original source.

Note for Australian model:

In the Pure Audio mode, if any component video signal is presented on the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT2 jack, it will be output to the COMPONENT OUTPUT jack.

Direct

This mode delivers pure sound with minimum sound quality adjustment and filtration. The sound recorded for the right and left front channels is output to the right and left front speakers only and not output to the subwoofer.

Stereo

This mode has all input sound is output from the left and right front speakers. The subwoofer is also used for playback.

d. DTS

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.

e. D.F. 2 ch (Digital Format 2 channel)

2-channel digital signals (not including PCM) such as Dolby Digital. DVDs or LDs recorded with 2-channel sound may be this type of input signal.

Monaural digital signals (not including PCM) such as Dolby Digital. DVDs or LDs recorded with monaural sound may be this type of input signal.

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

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 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.

Input Setup

Dolby D (Dolby Digital)

This mode is used for playing Dolby Digital sources.

• Dolby Digital EX

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

• Dolby EX

Select to achieve the same effects as Dolby Digital EX encoded sources with non-Dolby Digital sources.

DTS-ES 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 are 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 source.

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1

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

DTS-ES Matrix 6.1

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

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

This mode is for playing back sources recorded in the THX format. For the utmost in fidelity when playing back THX sources, it is also recommended to use a THX-certified speaker system.

• THX Cinema

This is the conventional 5.1-channel THX format. This mode should be used only when playing back sources that were mixed for playback in large movie theater environments.

• THX Surround EX

“THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX” is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and 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-8.3 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 centerchannel sound processed with the appropriate reverberation. This allows you to enjoy monaural sound with the atmosphere of a movie theater.

Enhanced 7

This mode reproduces a natural surround environment by using seven speaker channels. The sound effects moving smoothly toward the surround back. This mode is good for music and TV sports programs.

Orchestra

This mode is appropriate for classical and opera music. The center channel is cut and the surround channels are emphasized to widen the stereo image. It will simulate the natural reverberation that is created in large halls.

Unplugged

This mode is suitable for acoustical instrumental sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it will simulate the acoustics that you would experience in front of the stage.

Studio-Mix

This mode is for rock and popular music. The lively sounds are enhanced for a powerful acoustic image that simulates the feeling of being in a club or rock concert.

TV Logic

This mode gives realistic acoustics to TV programs that are aired from TV studios. It enhances the entire surround sound and clarity of the conversation.

All Ch Stereo

This mode is designed for playing background music. The front, surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that encompasses the entire area.

Setting Values Initial value

a. Re-EQ On, Off Off b. Upsampling On, Off Off c. Subwoofer On, Off On

(Analog/PCM)

d. Late Night Off, Low, High Off

a. Re-EQ

Re-EQ (re-equalization) takes the edginess or “brightness” out of your home cinema sound to compensate for the fact that sound mixed for theaters may sound too bright when played back through speakers in the home environment. This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”

You can use the Re-EQ button on the remote controller for setting “On” or “Off.”

b. Upsampling

Upsampling processes the input digital signal, or the digital signal converted from an analog input source, and converts its digital sampling frequency to twice its current frequency for an even further detailed sound reproduction. This can be set to either “On” or “Off.” When “On” is selected, the UPSAMPLING indicator lights.

3-4. Delay Sub-menu

This sub-menu gives you various ways to adjust the timing of the audio output from the speakers to give certain soundfield effects or to adjust for unwanted asynchronous video and audio tracks. This sub-menu does not appear if “Direct” is selected as the listening mode.

Setting Values Initial value

a. A/V Sync 0.0 ms to 74.0 ms 0.0 ms Relative Delay b. Center –4.0 ms to +6.0 ms 0.0 ms c. Surr L/R –4.0 ms to +6.0 ms 0.0 ms d. Surr Back –4.0 ms to +6.0 ms 0.0 ms

a. A/V Sync

If a digital signal processor is connected, there may be times when the audio and video from a DVD or LD player is not output in perfect sync. The result is where the sound and picture do not match and the sound is heard too early. In such a case, use this setting to properly synchronize the audio and video. This setting can be set between 0 and 74.0 ms in 0.5-ms increments. Under normal circumstances, this can left at 0 ms. If set between 24.5 and 74.0 ms, upsampling is fixed to 24.0 ms. Note that a change in the setting will not be displayed. This setting will not appear if the selected input source is set for the multichannel port.

Upsampling indicator

c. Subwoofer

When “Yes” is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Config Sub-menu, set this to “Off” if you do not want to have sound output from the subwoofer when listening to Analog/PCM sources. If “No” is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Config Sub-menu, this setting will not appear.

d. Late Night

The audio for movies made for the cinema have a large dynamic range; thus, the difference between loud noises and soft noises is great. To hear the quieter sounds such as background noises or human conversations, the movie must be played back at larger volumes. When this setting is set to “High” or “Low,” the dynamic range of the sound is narrowed down to allow you to easily hear minute sounds at low volumes. This function is especially useful if you wish to play a movie at low volumes during the nighttime. This can be set to either “Off” or “Low,” or “High.”

Notes:

• The Late Night function is effective only on Dolby Digital encoded software.

• The depth of the Late Night effect is determined by Dolby Digital software. With some sources, it may produce little or no effect.

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 Onkyo’s unique Enhanced Spatial Positioning Algorithm. This adjustment provides 10 milliseconds of delay for the speakers, which is equivalent to moving the speaker 10 feet (3 meters) away. This adjustment is set up to provide –4.0 or +6.0 milliseconds (–4 or +6 feet/–1.2 or +1.8 meters) of adjustment to the listener’s position. Once the coarse adjustments (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 will not appear 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.”

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.

3-6. Mono Sub-menu

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

Setting Values Initial value

a. Academy Filter On, Off Off b. Input Channel Auto L+R, Left, Right Auto L+R

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 highfrequency loss was typically due to a combination of optical slit loss, electrical filters, loudspeaker response, and screen loss. Some films have been transferred to video without such a high-frequency rolloff, and thus sound overly bright and hissy. The DTR-8.3 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.

3-7. Theater-Dimensional Sub-menu

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 Sub-menu 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.

b. Surr Mode (D.F. 2ch)

Changes the surround mode for when 2-channel digital signals are input.

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 change the Dolby Digital EX mode settings easily using the remote controller. While playing a Dolby Digital source, after selecting Dolby D for listening mode, 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 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1. If the DTS source has no DTS-ES flag, the mode is changed to DTS 5.1 when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag (ID signal for DTS-ES).

On: Select to have the listening mode change automatically to DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag, and to DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 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.

Pro Logic II Movie

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. 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 too strong surroundness, move the sound space forward to get the appropriate sound balance. In contrast, if the stereo recording is somewhat felt 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. For home use, applying some width to the center signal will improve the level balance for the center and main speakers, and 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 two-channel PCM and analog sources. In cinema mode, for Lt/Rt film soundtracks, sounds steered to the center are subtracted from the left and right channels. In 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.

Setting Values Initial value

a. Front Effect Off, On On b. Reverb Level Low, Mid, High Mid c. Reverb Time Short, Mid, Long Mid

a. Front Effect

Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation. When you play these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP, creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses frame or presence. In this case, set this setting to “Off” so that no reverberation from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from the three front channels. With this setting, the sound source is played as it is without any further reverberation.

b. Reverb Level

This setting allows you to adjust the depth of acoustic reverberation to match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room, and such other factors. Select from the three settings “Low,” “Mid,” and “High.”

c. Reverb Time

a. Volume Display

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

Absolute: This displays the volume with a minimum of 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 decibels, and the maximum value is +18 decibels.

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 for which the DTR-8.3 will be set to every time that the power is turned on. This prevents the DTR-8.3 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-8.3 turned on with its current volume setting, set this to “Last.”

DTR-8.3

How to Enjoy Net Audio

Features

The DTR-8.3 is a network audio client that is connected via a LAN to an Audio Network 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-8.3 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 Audio Network Server distributes music files through LAN to the DTR-8.3.

The DTR-8.3 plays distributed music data whenever you need.

In the connection between the Audio Network Server and the DTR-8.3, 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 Audio Network 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: MP3 (Approximately 1 MB for 1 minute)

WAVE (Approximately 10 MB for 1 minute)

System Requirements

Requirements for listening to both Internet radio stations and music files saved on the music server

■ Modem (a device that provides Internet connections via leased lines;

e.g., a cable modem, xDSL modem, terminal adapter)

* To have access to Internet, you typically need to make a contract

with an Internet service provider (ISP). Modem requirements differ from ISP to ISP; for detailed information, consult with your ISP or PC retailer.

■ Router (gateway) (a device that enables multiple PCs or devices to

connect to the Internet simultaneously)

An IP address can be obtained automatically by using the router’s DHCP function.

* Some routers have built-in modem functionality. Router

requirements differ from ISP to ISP; for detailed information, consult with your ISP or PC retailer.

■ Ethernet CAT-5 cable

■ 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 6).

• The DTR-8.3 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-8.3 must also be configured the same way. For more information, see “5-2. Proxy Setup Sub-menu” (see page 7).

• The DTR-8.3 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 “5-1.IP Address Sub-menu” (see page 7).

Network Setup Menu

Before you can use the DTR-8.3 to play music contained in the music library on the Audio Network Server and listen to Internet radio, you must correctly configure the DTR-8.3’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-8.3, make sure that you are already using a router that provides Internet access and that the DTR-8.3 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 documentation of your router.
