Before Using the DTR-8.4

Installing the Batteries

To open the battery compartment, press

the small hollow and slide off the cover.

Insert the three 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 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.

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. The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.

Number of speakers: 234567

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.)

DTR-8.4En.book Page 22 Thursday, October 16, 2003 11:09 AM

Connecting the DTR-8.4

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

Surround back left speaker

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.

1/3 room length

60˚

Surround back right speaker

Corner

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.

DTR-8.4En.book Page 23 Thursday, October 16, 2003 11:09 AM

Connecting the DTR-8.4 —Continued

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 300-ohm twin-core ﬂat cable.

Move the small wire inside the adapter

from position A to position B, as shown.

Make sure the shielding is not touching the central conductor.

Reﬁt the adapter’s cover, and then plug

the adapter into the 75 Ω socket.

Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter

It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown.

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).

Caution:

• Make sure that the total capacity of the components that you connect to the AC OUTLETS does not exceed the stated capacity (e.g., TOTAL 120 W).

Note:

• Integra/Onkyo components with sockets should be connected to regular wall outlets.

• The number of AC OUTLETS, connector type, and total capacity will depend on the country in which you purchased the DTR-8.4.

Connecting the Power Cord

Notes:

• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.

•Turning on the DTR-8.4 may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the DTR-8.4 into a different branch circuit.

• Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the DTR-8.4. The supplied power cord is designed exclusively for use with the DTR-8.4 and should not be used with any other equipment.

•Never disconnect the power cord from the DTR-8.4 while the other end is still plugged into a wall outlet. Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet ﬁrst, and then the DTR-8.4.

Connect the supplied power cord to the DTR-8.4’s AC INLET.

Speaker Level Calibration

This section explains how to adjust the level of each speaker individually using the built-in test tone so that the volume of each speaker is the same at the listening position.

Notes:

• The speakers cannot be calibrated while the output of the DTR-8.4 is muted, while a pair of headphones is connected, or when using the multichannel inputs.

• Since the DTR-8.4 supports THX, the test tone is output at the standard level of 0 dB (absolute volume setting 82). If you normally listen at volume settings below this, be careful because the test tone will be much louder.

With its built-in surround-sound decoders and DSP programs, the DTR-8.4 can transform your home listening room into a movie theater or concert hall.

To get the most from surround sound, it’s important that you install and conﬁgure your speakers correctly. See “Connecting Your Speakers” on page 23 and “Speaker Settings” on page 40 for information.

The DTR-8.4’s surround indicators show which speakers are active in each listening mode.

Front left Center Front right

Subwoofer

Surround

back left

Surround

Direct

The selected input source is output by the front left and right speakers only, with minimal processing for a pure sound.

Pure Audio

As an extension of Direct mode, this mode turns off the display, turns off the power to the video circuitry, and minimizes any other possible noise sources, providing a high ﬁdelity sound that’s true to the original. (Since the power to the video circuitry is turned off, no video signals will be output.)

Stereo

The selected input source is processed as a stereo signal and output by the front left and right speakers and the subwoofer.

Mono

Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono soundtrack or to select multilingual soundtracks recorded in the left and right channel of some movies. It can also be used when playing a DVD or other source with multiplexed audio, such as a karaoke DVD.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional) or

With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround sound even with only two or three speakers. This works by controlling how sounds reach the listener’s left and right ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode in an environment with little or no natural reverb.

Dolby Pro Logic II Movie

Use this mode with DVDs and videos that bear the Dolby Surround logo or TV programs that feature Dolby Surround. You can also use this mode with stereo movies or TV programs and the DTR-8.4 will create a 5.1 surround mix from the 2-channel stereo.

Dolby Pro Logic II Music

Use this mode to add 5.1 surround to stereo sources such as music CDs and DVDs.

Dolby Digital

With this format you can experience the same superb sound that you get at a movie theater or concert hall. Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo.

Dolby Digital EX

With an added surround-back channel, this 6.1 channel format offers a heightened sense of space, for added realism with moving sounds, such as those that rotate 360 degrees or pass overhead. Dolby Digital EX material can also be played on conventional 5.1 channel systems, in which case the surroundback channel audio is divided between the surround left and right channels. Use this mode with DVDs that have a 5.1-channel soundtrack and bear the Dolby Digital logo.

DTS

This digital surround format offers a surround sound experience with exceptional ﬁdelity. It uses compressed digital audio data, with six completely separate channels (5.1), and the ability to handle large amounts of audio data while remaining faithful to the original. DTS provides very high-quality sound. You’ll need a DTS compatible DVD player in order to enjoy DTS material. Use this mode with DVDs, LDs, or CDs that bear the DTS logo.

DTS-ES Discrete

This is DTS with an added surround back channel for 6.1 surround sound. Use it with program material recorded in DTS 6.1 format. With the additional surround back channel, this format offers 6.1 fully independent digital channels, providing a realistic sense of movement and space. Use it with program material recorded in DTS 6.1, such as CDs, DVDs, or LDs that bear the DTS-ES logo.

DTS-ES Matrix

This is DTS with an added surround back channel for 6.1 surround sound. Use it to provide 6.1 channel surround playback with program material recorded in DTS 5.1 format. Since DTS 5.1 program material contains surround back channel information, all channels can be reconstructed for 6.1 surround playback. Use this mode with CDs, DVDs, or LDs that bear the DTS-ES or DTS logo.

DTS Neo:6

This mode provides 6.1 channel playback from 2-channel sources. It offers six full-bandwidth channels with excellent separation. There are two modes of operation: Cinema mode, which is suited to movies, and Music mode, which is for listening to music.

Cinema mode simulates the realistic sense of movement that you get with 6.1-channel surround sound sources. Use this mode with videos, DVDs, and TV programs that feature stereo sound.

Music mode uses the surround channels to simulate a natural sound ﬁeld that cannot be produced with conventional stereo. Use this mode with stereo source material such as music CDs.

THX Cinema or

THX Ltd, founded by George Lucas, develops quality assurance programs for ensuring that movies are reproduced in movie theaters and home theaters just as the director intended. THX technology is used to eliminate spatial errors that can occur when a movie soundtrack is adapted for use in smaller home theaters, ensuring faithful reproduction.

This mode is ideal for watching a movie with a soundtrack recorded and edited especially for playback in the spaciousness of a typical movie theater.

THX Surround EX

This format was jointly developed by Dolby Laboratories and THX Ltd. especially for home theater use. It’s based on Dolby Digital EX technology. It adds an extra surround channel to the existing front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right, and LFE (subwoofer) channels, making a total of 7.1 channels. (For best results with DVDs that feature THX Surround EX, use a THX-certiﬁed THX speaker system.)

DSP Modes

Orchestra or

Suitable for classical or operatic music. The center speaker is turned off and the surround channels are emphasized in order to widen the stereo image. In addition, it simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

Unplugged

Suitable for acoustic instrument sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simulates the stage-front experience.

Studio-Mix

Suitable for rock and pop music. Listening to music in this mode creates a lively sound ﬁeld with a powerful acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.

TV Logic

Adds realistic acoustics to TV programs produced in a TV studio. In addition, it adds surround effects to the entire sound and adds clarity to voices.

Enhance

This mode is ideal for enjoying music programs or TV sports programs. It provides a natural surround sound with movement in the surround back speakers, creating a sound with a live feeling to it.

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for use with old movies and other mono sound sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is, while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other speakers, giving presence to even mono material.

All Ch Stereo

Ideal for background music. The front, surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that ﬁlls the entire listening area.

Off: Double Bass function off.

d. Late Night

This is the same as the Late Night function explained on page 62. It can be used only when the listening mode is Dolby Digital.

3-4. Delay

a. A/V Sync

When using progressive scanning, you may ﬁnd that the picture and sound are out of sync. With the A/V Sync function you can delay the audio in 0.5 ms steps from 0 to 74.0 ms to get the picture and audio back in sync. The default setting is 0 ms.

Note:

• If a delay time between 24.5 ms and 74 ms is set, and then the Upsampling function is turned on, the delay time will be ﬁxed at 24.0 ms, however, the value shown on the display will not change.

• This function cannot be used with the multichannel input.

b. Relative Delay

With Integra/Onkyo’s unique Enhanced Spatial Positioning Algorithm you can ﬁne-tune the sound ﬁeld by delaying the signals to all speakers in 0.5 ms steps from –4.0 ms to +6.0 ms (default is 0 ms). This 10 ms range equates to a physical speaker movement of 10 feet (3 m).

Before adjusting this setting, specify the distance between the listening position and each individual speaker (see page 43), and adjust the level of each speaker individually (see page 44).

By increasing the distance between the speakers (i.e., increasing the delay time), the sound ﬁeld can be broadened, and by reducing the distance (i.e., reducing the delay time), the sound ﬁeld can be narrowed.

The procedure for changing these settings is provided on page 68.

3-5. LFE Level

a. Dolby Digital

With this setting you can adjust the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel for Dolby Digital sources in 1 dB steps from –10 dB to 0 dB (default is 0 dB).

If you ﬁnd that the low-frequency effects are too loud when playing Dolby Digital sources, lower this setting as necessary.

b. DTS

With this setting you can adjust the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel for DTS sources in 1 dB steps from –10 dB to 0 dB (default is 0 dB).

If you ﬁnd that the low-frequency effects are too loud when playing DTS sources, lower this setting as necessary.

3-6. Mono

a. Academy Filter

Early movies had a mono soundtrack that suffered from audible hiss and a poor high-frequency response due to the quality of the ﬁlm. To improve matters, the high-frequencies were boosted before being recorded onto ﬁlm, and then attenuated to their original levels during playback in the movie theater. Some old movies have been transferred to newer distribution media without the highfrequencies being attenuated, creating a harsh sound with pronounced hiss. With the Academy Filter function, which is based on the playback techniques used in those days, you can attenuate the high-frequencies to their original levels and enjoy the movie as it was intended to be heard.

On: Academy Filter on.

Off: Academy Filter off (default).

b. Input Channel

With this setting you can specify how 2-channel sources are handled in the Mono listening mode.

AUTO L+R: The front left and right speakers output

the same mix of the left and right channels (default).

Left: The front left and right speakers output the

sound recorded in the left channel. Use this option with material that has different languages recorded in the left and right channels.

Right: The front left and right speakers output the

sound recorded in the right channel. Use this option with material that has different languages recorded in the left and right channels.

3-7. Theater-Dimensional

These settings are used with the Theater-Dimensional listening mode.

a. Listening Angle

With this setting you can specify the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Processing for the Theater-Dimensional listening mode is based on this setting. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings.

Front left speaker

20º: Select if listening angle is 20 degrees. 40º: Select if listening angle is 40 degrees (default).

b. Center

With this setting you can specify whether or not you’re using a center speaker. If you are, the center channel sound will be output by the center speaker when using the Theater-Dimensional listening mode. This reduces the workload of the front left and right speakers, and creates a more articulate sound space. In this case, the settings for the distance between the listening position and each individual speaker (see page 43), and the level of each speaker (see page 44) are important, so be sure to set them.

On: Select if using a center speaker.

Off: Select if not using a center speaker (default).

c. Front Expander

With the Front Expander function you can broaden the width the front stereo image. This can be useful with narrow listening angles of 20 degrees or less.

On: Front Expander function on.

Off: Front Expander function off (default).

d. Virtual Surr Level

With this setting you can adjust the level of the virtual surround sound from –3 dB to +3 dB (default is 0 dB). If the clarity is poor, or the effect sounds unnatural, you may be able to improve it by lowering this setting.

e. Dialog Enhance

With this function you can improve the clarity of the center channel, which usually contains dialog.

On: Dialog Enhance function on.

Off: Dialog Enhance function off (default).

Front right speaker

3-8. Surround

These settings are for the surround sound modes.

a. Surr Mode (Analog/PCM)

This setting determines the default surround format to be used with analog and PCM input signals. The available options are: Pro Logic II Movie (default), Pro Logic II Music, Neo:6 Cinema, and Neo:6 Music.

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

This setting determines the default surround format that will be used with 2-channel digital signals other than PCM. The available options are: Pro Logic II Movie (default), Pro Logic II Music, Neo:6 Cinema, and Neo:6 Music.

c. Dolby D EX (Dolby D)

This is the same as “Dolby Digital/Dolby Digital EX” on page 60. It can be set even while a listening mode other than Dolby is selected.

d. DTS-ES

This is the same as “DTS/DTS-ES Discrete/DTS-ES Matrix” on page 60. It can be set even while a listening mode other than DTS is selected.

e. Pro Logic II Music Panorama

With this function you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music listening mode.

On: Panorama function on.

Off: Panorama function off (default).

f. Pro Logic II Music Dimension

With this setting you can move the sound ﬁeld forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music listening mode. The default setting is 3. Lower settings move the sound ﬁeld forward. Higher settings move it backward.

If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much surround sound, move the sound ﬁeld forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround sound, move it backward.

g. Pro Logic II Music Center Width

With this setting you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music listening mode.

If you’re using a center speaker, with Dolby Pro Logic II, the center channel sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a phantom center). This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default is 3).

h. Neo:6 Music Center Image

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel surround sound from 2-channel (stereo) material. With this setting you can specify by how much the front left and right channel output is attenuated in order to create the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default is 3).

When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the sound is located centrally. This setting works well when the listening position is considerably off center. When set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenuated, maintaining the original stereo sound balance.

3-9. THX

These settings are for the THX modes.

a. Re-EQ (THX)

This setting determines the default on/off setting for the Re-EQ function, which is explained on page 62. This setting is used only when a THX listening mode is selected.

b. Decoder (2ch)

This setting determines whether THX Cinema should be applied to the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie or Neo:6 Cinema listening mode when THX is used with a 2-channel input signal.

PL II Movie: Apply to Dolby Pro Logic II Movie.

Neo:6 Cinema: Apply to Neo:6 Cinema.

c. THX Surr EX (Dolby D)

This is the same as see “THX Surround EX (Dolby Digital)” on page 60. It can be set even while a listening mode other than Dolby is selected.

d. DTS-ES

This is the same as see “THX Cinema (DTS/DTS-ES)” on page 60. It can be set even while a listening mode other than DTS is selected.

3-10. Mono Movie, 3-11. Enhance, 3-12. Orchestra, 3-13. Unplugged, 3-14. Studio-Mix, 3-15. TV Logic

These settings are for the DSP listening modes.

a. Front Effect

With this setting you can turn off the reverb for the front speakers. This is useful when playing live material that already contains live reverberation and the reverb added by the DSP listening mode simply blurs the original sound. When the Front Effect is turned off, no reverb is added to the front left, right, and center speakers and the original reverberation can be heard as it is.

On: Front Effect on (default).

Off: Front Effect off.

b. Reverb Level

With this setting you can adjust the amount of reverb to suit your listening environment, source material, and so on. The available settings are: Low, Middle (default), and High.

c. Reverb Time

With this setting you can adjust the reverb time to suit your listening environment, source material, and so on. The available settings are: Short, Middle (default), and Long.

The procedure for changing these settings is provided on page 68.

Net-Tune

About Net-Tune

The DTR-8.4 can be used as a Net-Tune client on a standard Ethernet network, allowing you to play music (MP3, WAV) stored on your network audio server through the DTR-8.4. If your network is connected to the Internet, you can also tune into Internet radio stations.

Internet Radio

With Internet radio you can:

• Listen to stations that use MP3 format streaming.

• Select stations by genre, location, or language.

• Preset up to 30 Internet radio stations.

Net-Tune

For audio delivery over Ethernet, Onkyo developed NTSP (Net-Tune System Protocol). Since it’s based on the industry standard TCP/IP protocol, it’s efﬁcient and very responsive.

The network audio server supports the MP3 and WAV formats.

• WAV: high-quality, uncompressed, linear PCM.

• MP3: high-quality, compressed, small ﬁle size. For more information about Net-Tune, see the following

Integra Web sites.

• http://www.integrahometheater.com/

■

Network Requirements

Ethernet Network

The DTR-8.4’s Ethernet port supports 10Base-T. For best results, a 100Base-T switched Ethernet network is recommended. Although it’s theoretically possible to use a wireless network, due to unpredictable performance, it may not provide satisfactory results, so a wired network is recommended.

Ethernet Router

A router manages the network, routing data and supplying IP addresses. Your router must support the following:

•NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows several networked computers to access the Internet simultaneously via a single Internet connection. The DTR-8.4 needs Internet access for Internet radio.

• DHCP (Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol). DHCP supplies IP address information to network devices, allowing them to conﬁgure themselves automatically.

•A router with a 100Base-TX switch built-in is recommended.

Some routers have a modem built-in, and some ISPs require you to use speciﬁc routers. Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

CAT5 Ethernet cable

Use a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type).

Internet Access (for Internet radio)

To use Internet radio, your Ethernet network must have Internet access. A narrowband Internet connection (e.g., 56K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory results, so a broadband connection is strongly recommended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

DTR-8.4En.book Page 76 Thursday, October 16, 2003 11:09 AM

Net-Tune —Continued

Notes:

•To use Internet radio with the DTR-8.4, your broadband Internet connection needs to be up and running and able to access the Web. Please consult your ISP if you have any problems with your Internet connection.

• The DTR-8.4 uses DHCP and AutoIP to conﬁgure its network settings automatically. If you want to conﬁgure these settings manually, see page 82.

Networking Your DTR-8.4

To connect the DTR-8.4 to your Ethernet network, plug one end of a CAT5 Ethernet cable into the ETHERNET (NetTune) port, and plug the other end into a LAN port on your router or switch.

The following diagram shows how you can connect the DTR-8.4 to your Ethernet network. Here it’s connected to a LAN port on the router, which has a 4-port 100Base-TX switch built-in.

You can connect any number of DTR-8.4s to the network, and the network audio server can serve up to three clients simultaneously, so you can enjoy Net-Tune in three separate rooms simultaneously. The following diagram shows a NetTune network with two DTR-8.4s.

• The DTR-8.4 does not support PPPoE settings, so if you have a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use a PPPoE-compatible router.

• Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a proxy server to use Internet radio. If your PC is conﬁgured to use a proxy server, use the same settings (see page 82).

Network Settings

This section explains how to manually conﬁgure the DTR-8.4’s network settings.

If your router’s DHCP server is enabled, by default the DTR-8.4 is set use DHCP to conﬁgure itself automatically (i.e., the DHCP/AUTO IP setting is On), so you don’t need to change any of the settings on the “5. Network Setup” menu. If your router’s DHCP server is disabled, for example, you’re using static IP addresses, you’ll need to conﬁgure these settings yourself. A knowledge of Ethernet networking is essential.

What’s DHCP/AutoIP?

DHCP (Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol) and Auto IP (Automatic IP Addressing) are services used by routers, computers, the DTR-8.4, and other devices to automatically conﬁgure themselves on the network.

What’s DNS?

The DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses. For example, when you enter a domain name such as www.integrahometheater.com in your Web browser, before accessing the site, your browser uses DNS to translate this into an IP address, in this case 63.148.251.142.

Learning Commands from Another Remote Controller

You can teach the DTR-8.4’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-8.4’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 88).

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-8.4’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], [Custom], [Macro], [Mode], [Input], [Zone 2], and the scroll wheel button.

• The DTR-8.4’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-8.4’s remote controller knows the commands for controlling an Integra/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-8.4’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-8.4’s remote controller more new commands, repeat steps 3 through 5.

Press the [Custom] button when you’ve ﬁnished.

Using the Remote Controller with Other Components —Continued

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-8.4 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-8.4 via its IR IN socket. For this to work, you must assign the same ID and channel to the remote controller and RF receiver.

Troubleshooting —Continued

There’s no sound with a certain signal format?

• Check the input signal format setting. Depending on the playback source, you can select Auto, Multich, Analog, DTS, or PCM (page 53).

• Check the digital audio output setting on the connected device. On some games consoles, such as those that support DVD, the default setting is off.

•With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio output format from a menu.

• Depending on the input signal, some listening modes cannot be selected (page 58).

Can’t select the DTS-ES Discrete/Matrix or THX Surround EX listening modes?

• These modes cannot be selected when no surround back speakers are connected, or Zone 2 is being used.

Can’t get 6.1 or 7.1 playback?

• If no surround back speakers are connected, or Zone 2 is being used, 6.1 and 7.1 playback is not possible.

The volume cannot be set above 99?

• When the levels of all speakers have been calibrated (page 44), the maximum volume setting may change.

Noise can be heard?

• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the audio performance, so don’t do it.

• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try repositioning your cables.

The Late Night function doesn’t work?

• Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital (page 62).

The multichannel input doesn’t work?

• Check the MULTI CH INPUT connections (page 29).

• Make sure that the multichannel input is assigned to the correct input source (page 63).

• Set the audio input signal format to Multich (page 53).

About DTS signals

• When DTS program material ends and the DTS bitstream stops, the DTR-8.4 remains in DTS listening mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your player from DTS to PCM, because the DTR-8.4 does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear any sound, in which case you should stop your player for about three seconds, and then resume playback.

•With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to playback DTS material properly even though your player is connected to a digital input on the DTR-8.4. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the DTR-8.4 doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.

• When playing DTS program material, using the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player

may produce a short audible noise. This is not a malfunction.

Video

There’s no picture?

• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 26).

• Make sure that each video component is properly connected.

• If your video component is connected to a component video input, your TV must be connected to the component video output, unless the Component Video setting is set to VIDEO (page 47).

• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the DTR-8.4 is connected is selected.

• While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the video circuits are turned off and the DTR-8.4 outputs no video signals.

The onscreen menus (OSD) don’t appear, or they appear in an odd position?

• Make sure that the video settings are correct (page 46).

• Check the Display Position and OSD Position settings (page 73).

• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the DTR-8.4 is connected is selected.

Tuner

Reception is noisy, FM stereo reception is noisy, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t appear?

• Relocate your antenna.

•Move the DTR-8.4 away from your TV or computer.

•Try using the AUTO FM mode (page 54).

• When listening to an AM station, operating the remote controller may cause noise.

•Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.

• Concrete walls weaken radio signals.

• If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna.

Remote Controller

The remote controller doesn’t work?

• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the correct polarity (page 8).

• Install new batteries. Don’t mix different types of batteries or old and new batteries (page 8).

• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far away from the DTR-8.4, and that there’s no obstruction between the remote controller and the DTR-8.4’s remote control sensor (page 8).
