Before Using the DTR-8.4
Installing the Batteries
To open the battery compartment, press
1
the small hollow and slide off the cover.
Insert the three supplied batteries (AA/R6)
2
in accordance with the polarity diagram
inside the battery compartment.
Put the cover onto the remote controller
3
and slide it shut.
Notes:
• The batteries should last for about six months,
although this will vary with usage.
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try
replacing the 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 damage from
leakage or corrosion.
• Expired batteries should be removed as soon as possi-
ble to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.
Using the Remote Controller
To use the remote controller, point it at the DTR-8.4’s
remote control sensor, as shown below.
Remote control sensor
DTR-8.4
Standby indicator
30˚
Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the
DTR-8.4 is subjected to bright light, such as direct
sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this
in mind when installing.
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in
the same room, or the DTR-8.4 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-8.4 is installed in a rack behind colored glass
doors. Keep this in mind when installing.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obstacle between it and the DTR-8.4’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-8.4 is installed in a rack or is not in line of sight
of the remote controller.

About Home Theater
Enjoying Home Theater
With the DTR-8.4’s superb functionality you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your own
home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.
For best results with DVDs that feature THX Surround EX, use a THX-certified THX speaker system.
With DVDs you can enjoy DTS, Dolby Digital, and THX soundtracks. With TV and satellite broadcasts you can enjoy
Integra’s own DSP surround listening modes.
Front left and right speakers
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a
solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so
as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front left
and right speakers, making sound
movements distinct and providing a
full sound image. In movies it’s used
mainly for dialog.
Position it close to your TV (preferably
on top) facing forward at about ear
level, or at the same height as the
front left and right speakers.
Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds
of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects)
channel. Position it in a corner or onethird of the way along the front wall.
Surround left and right speakers
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly
behind, about 3 feet (100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be
equidistant from the listener.
Surround back speakers
These speakers further
enhance the realism of surround sound and improve
sound localization behind the
listener. Position them behind
the listener about 3 feet
(100 cm) above ear level.
Speaker Configuration
For the best surround-sound experience, you should connect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid bass
sound.
To get the best from your surround-sound system, you need to specify the distance between the listener and each individual speaker so that the sound from each speaker arrives at the listener’s ears at the same time (see page 43). In
addition, you need to calibrate the level of each speaker individually to achieve the correct balance (see page 44.)

Positioning Your Speakers
This section explains how to position your speakers. The
picture on page 21 shows the general speaker positions.
Front Left & Right Speakers
The front left and right speakers should be positioned
facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant
from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
Center Speaker
The center speaker should be positioned close to your
TV (preferably on top) facing forward at about ear level,
or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.
Surround Left & Right Speakers
The surround left and right speakers should be positioned at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind,
about 3 feet (100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they
should be equidistant from the listener.
Surround Back Left & Right Speakers
The surround back left and right speakers are necessary
to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, THX Surround EX, DTS-ES
Matrix, and DTS-ES Discrete.
Position them behind the listener about 3 feet (100 cm)
above ear level.
They should be equidistant
from the listener, creating a
triangle. Make sure that the
angle at the apex of the triangle is about 60 degrees. This
is recommended by THX.
Subwoofer

The volume and quality of the bass output from your
subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your
listening room, and your listening position. In general,
the best bass sound can be obtained by putting the subwoofer in a front corner or one-third of the way along the
front wall.

experiment by placing your subwoofer at various positions within your room and choose the one that provides
the most satisfying results at your listening position.
Using Dipole Speakers
You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and
right and surround back left and right speakers. Dipole
speakers output the same sound in two directions.
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them
to indicate how they should be positioned. The surround
left and right dipolar speakers should be positioned so that
their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the surround left and right dipolar speakers should be positioned
so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

The supplied speaker labels are also color-coded and you
should attach them to the positive (+) side of each
speaker cable in accordance with the above table. All you
need to do then is to match the color of each label to the
corresponding speaker terminal.

Connecting Your Speakers
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
•Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals to only positive
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way
around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound
unnatural.
• Only connect speakers with an impedance of between
4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any one speaker is
between 4 and 6 ohms, be sure to select the 4 ohms
setting on the DTR-8.4 (see page 40).
• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the
positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the
DTR-8.4.
• Don’t connect more than one
cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the
DTR-8.4.
• If you want to connect a single speaker instead of a
pair, don’t connect it to the left and right terminals.
The following illustration shows which speaker should
be connected to each pair of terminals.

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 antenna should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
•For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated
well away from power lines and other high-voltage
equipment.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
Using the 75/300-ohm Antenna Adapter
(Australian model only)
The 75/300-ohm antenna adapter can be used to connect
an FM antenna using either 75-ohm coaxial cable or

Connecting Your TV or Projector
The DTR-8.4 offers several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format you choose will depend on the formats supported by
your AV components. Use the following section as a
guide.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the DTR-8.4 using
the following video connection formats: composite
video, S-Video, or component video, the latter offering
the best picture quality.
The following diagram shows that composite video input
signals are output by composite video and S-Video outputs, and that S-Video input signals are output by
S-Video and composite video outputs.
If you connect a video source to a component video
input, you’ll need to connect your TV or projector to the
component video output. Normally, component video
input #1 or #2 feeds the component video output. However, you can configure the DTR-8.4 to output composite
video and S-Video input signals as component video (see
“Component Video Setup” on page 47).

Initially, the COAX 1 digital input is assigned to the
DVD input source. If you connect your DVD player to a
different digital input, you’ll need to reassign the DVD
input source (see page 45).
Using Analog Connections
Even if your DVD player is connected digitally (coaxial
or optical), to use , or to record audio from your
DVD player, you’ll need to make analog connections as
well.
Use an analog audio cable (RCA/phono) to connect the
DTR-8.4’s AUDIO DVD IN L/R inputs to the analog
audio outputs on your DVD player, as shown.
If your DVD player has left, right, and multichannel outputs, be sure to use the left and right outputs.
