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 antenna-discharge 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
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a qualified techni-
cian 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.

AMPLIFIER FEATURES
130 WATTS MINIMUM OF CONTINUOUS RMS POWER
to each of the 7channels into 8 , from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with no more than 0.05%THD (FTC rating)–clean high-current amplifi­cation provides incredible dynamic range for seamless repro­duction of even the most demanding cinema soundtracks, as well as animatedly rich music at any volume level.
7.1-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER
feat in one chassis–the DTR-9.1 provides unparalleled power and clarity to all 7.1-channels for a room-filling sound experience seconds to none.
LUCASFILM THX® ULTRA CERTIFIED
amazing ability to drive 7.1 channels, the DTR-9.1 also boasts the distinction of carrying the exclusive THX Ultra badge of approval–assurance that this receiver passed (and often exceeds) THX's numerous requirements in such areas as frequency response, distortion, power output, and stability.
192kHz/24-BIT D/A CONVERTERS FOR ALL CHANNELS
the first receiver in the industry to utilize these powerful converters for all seven channels–the DTR-9.1's DACs not only boast a dynamic range of 120dB, they also process more information faster and are virtually resistant to clock jitter, to ensure the best performance possible from DVD-Audio and other upcoming formats, while also producing cleaner, clearer sound form DVDs and CDs.
WIDE RANGE AMPLIFIER TECHNOLOGY(WRAT)
WRAT virtually eliminates the adverse effects of counter-electro­motive force by: 1) applying an uncommonly low amount of NFB (negative feed-back), 2) using carefully selected, high-toler­ance, wide range parts in all critical sections, and 3) incorporat­ing innovative circuit topology based upon decades of high­end amplifier-design experience–the final result is a flat response beyond 100kHz, making the DTR-9.1 ideal for such high-resolution formats as DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD, and other upcom­ing digital formats.

THX Ultra
Before any home theatre component can be THX Ultra certified, it must pass a rigorous series of quality and per­formance tests. Only then can a product feature the THX Ultra logo, which is your guarantee that the Home The­atre products you purchase will give you superb perfor­mance for many years to come. THX Ultra requirements define hundreds of parameters, including power ampli­fier performance, and pre-amplifier performance and operation for both digital and analog domains. THX Ultra receivers also features proprietary THX technologies (e.g. THX Mode, see page 38) which accurately translate film soundtracks for home theater playback.

Notes:
Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or differ­ent kinds of batteries.
To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the re­mote controller is not to be used for a long time.
Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid dam­age from corrosion. If the remote controller does not operate smoothly, replace both the batteries at the same time.
The life of the batteries supplied is about six months but this will vary depending on usage.
Using the remote controller
Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor. The STANDBY indicator lights up when the unit receives a signal from the remote controller.
Notes:
Place the unit away from strong light such as direct sunlight or inverted fluorescent light which can pre­vent proper operation of the remote controller.
Using another remote controller of the same type in the same room or using the unit near equipment which uses infrared rays may cause operational in­terference.
Do not put objects on the remote controller. The buttons of the remote controller may be pressed by mistake and drain the batteries.
Make sure the audio rack doors do not have col­ored glass. Placing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote controller operation.
If there is any obstacle between the remote control­ler and the remote control sensor, the remote con­troller will not operate.
Memory preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation bat­teries. A built-in memory power backup system pre­serves the contents of the memory during power failures and even when the POWER switch is set to off. The POWER switch must be set to on in order to charge the backup system. The memory preservation period after the unit has been turned off varies depending on climate and placement of the unit. On the average, memory contents are protected over a period of a few weeks after the last time the unit has been turned off. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a highly humid climate.

When one is selected, the indicator above that button will light in red. To record from the same input source that you are using (that is selected for the main zone), press the Rec Out button twice in succession.
Note:
The Rec Out and Zone 2 buttons use the same circuit and therefore cannot be used at the same time. When Rec Out is selected, nothing is output from Zone 2.
Zone 2
The DTR-9.1 includes a second signal path separate from the main one that can be used for a remote zone (Zone 2) or for making recordings. By connecting an additional amplifier or other video equipment to the Zone 2 outputs, you can output to a separate room an input source that is different from that being used in the main room. This al­lows you to watch one program in one room while some­body else is watching a different program in another. Press the Zone 2 button to enable output to the ZONE 2 outputs. After pressing the Zone 2 button, press one of the input source selector buttons within 8 seconds to select the input source for the remote zone. When one is se­lected, the indicator above that button will light in green.

Before connecting the speakers, place them correctly by consulting the instruction manuals that came with them. For surround playback, the configuration and place­ment of your speakers are very important. For THX surround EX playback, we recommend that you use a THX speaker system that is certified by Lucasfilm Ltd.
Ideal speaker configuration
Front right and left speakers
Center speaker
Produces a rich sound image by serving as a sound source for the front right and left speakers and en­hancing the sonic movement.
Surround right and left speakers
Adds three-dimensional sonic movement and pro­duces environmental sound associated with the background and effect sound for each scene.
Surround back right and left speakers
Required for enjoying THX Surround EX audio.
Subwoofer
Produces powerful and heavy bass.
Minimum speaker configuration for surround sound 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.
Important points regarding speaker placement
Front left and right speakers and center speaker
Place these three speakers at the same height from the floor.
Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the listeners ears when at the listening position.
Surround left and right speakers
Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter higher than that of the listeners ears.
Surround back left and right speakers
These speakers are required for enjoying THX Sur­round EX audio.
Place these speakers behind the listener so that the angle between each speaker and the listener is ap­proximately 30 degrees.
Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter higher than that of the listeners ears.
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 and the surround right and left speakers for optimized surround playback.
Subwoofer
A subwoofer is recommended for the highest bass ef­fect.

Notes:
The DTR-9.1 is designed to produce optimum sound quality when speakers with impedances within the specified ranges are connected. Check the follow­ing information and choose speakers with appropri­ate impedances for the connections.
CAUTION: SPEAKER IMPEDANCE 6 min. per each speaker terminal.
When you are using only one speaker or when you wish to listen to monaural (mono) sound, a single speaker should never be connected in parallel to both the right and left­channel terminals simul­taneously.
To prevent damage to circuitry, never short-cir­cuit the positive (+) and negative (–) speaker wire.

Connecting antennas
Connecting the included antennas
Connecting the FM indoor antenna:
The FM indoor antenna is for indoor use only. During use, extend the antenna and move it in various direc­tions until the clearest signal is received. Fix it with push pins or similar implements in the position that will cause the least amount of distortion. If the reception is not very clear with the attached FM indoor antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is rec­ommended.
Connecting the AM loop antenna:
The AM loop antenna is for indoor use only. Set it in the direction and position where you receive the clearest sound. Put it as far away as possible from the DTR-9.1, televisions, speaker cables, and power cords. When reception is not satisfactory with the attached AM loop antenna alone, connection of an outdoor antenna is recommended.

The On-Screen Display (OSD) menu
The OSD menu is a settings menu that is displayed on your TV monitor and allows you to perform your speaker settings, setup your input sources, set the listening modes, and much more. In most situations, you will only need to set this once during the installation and layout of your home theater, and it rarely needs to be changed later.
The OSD menu consists of a main screen that is divided up into six menus: Speaker Setup, Input Setup, Listening Mode Setup, Preference, Zone2 OSD Setup, and About. These menus are then divided up into various sub-menus, and these contain settings for you to opti­mize your home theater as you wish.

Input Setup
Auto: Select for automatic detection of the input signal
format. The input signal format (Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, PCM or Analog) used by the selected input source is detected automatically to execute the re­quired decoding process. If no digital signal is input, the input signals to the analog input jacks will be played.
AC-3RF: Select if a LD player with an AC-3RF terminal is
connected to the AC-3RF input on the DTR-9.1. AC­3RF can only be selected if VIDEO 4 is selected as the input source.
Digital: Select for automatic detection of a digital input
signal format. The input digital signal format (Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, or PCM) used by the selected digital input source is detected automatically to ex­ecute the necessary decoding process.
DTS: Select for DTS signal processing. The decoding pro-
cess 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.
Analog: Regardless of whether the component is also
digitally connected, the audio signals input from the component through the analog input jacks are played.
Notes:
If Auto or Digital 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 compact disc or LD encoded in the DTS format is played back with PCM selected, only noise will be produced. Always select Auto,” “Digital, or DTS when playing back DTS-encoded sources.
Notes on DTS:
If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when thePCM setting is selected on the DTR-9.1, 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 selected Auto, Digital, or DTS and use the digital input jacks (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source.
If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when theAuto or Digital setting 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-9.1 lights while a DTS source is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal transmission stops, the DTR-9.1 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 if you connect the player to the DTR-9.1 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the DTR-9.1 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 1 OUT, and TAPE 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
This sub-menu will not appear if AM, FM, or PHONO is selected at the front panel for the input source. This setting 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 5.1­channel or 7.1-channel 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. When Yes is selected, the audio from the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT is given preference.

This setting allows you to match the audio from one component with the video from another. Therefore, you can set a video source to be displayed while the audio from another input source is heard. For example, this allows you to play the music from a compact disc, while displaying the picture from a video cassette player or other video source. Since the settings in this sub-menu are also linked to the input source that is cur­rently selected at the front panel, a different setting can be made for each digital input source.

2-4. Listening Mode Preset sub-menu
With the DTR-9.1, you can set a different listening mode for each different signal type that comes from each input source and also set the parameters for the listening mode itself. For example, if your DVD player also plays compact discs and the DVD video signal is DTS and the compact disc signal is PCM, then you can set a different listening mode for each.
This is especially convenient if you frequently play the same types of movies or music. Note that some listening modes cannot be set for some input sources. In addition, if Yes is set for multi channel for the input source selected, then the listening mode cannot be set. Also, if the ---- is set for the Digital Input setting in the Digital Setup sub-menu, then you can only select Analog/PCM.

* The 5.1-channel digital surround format has a vari-
ety of versions including Dolby Digital, DTS, and MPEG. The 5.1- channel digital surround format en­ables you to individually record and play five full­range (20Hz-20kHz) channels (left and right front, center, two surround channels) plus an LFE channel (Low Frequency Effect)for the low-range effect sound. It will create a realistic sound that could be heard in the theaters and concert halls.

Input Setup
Input source signals
a. Analog/PCM
Analog sources consist of LP records, AM and FM 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 > 48 k
Digital PCM sources that are recorded at a sampling rate of greater than 48 kilohertz. This includes compact discs and DVDs that are recorded with high quality au­dio.
c. PCM fs = 192 k
Digital PCM sources that are recorded at a sampling rate of greater than 192 kilohertz. This includes com­pact discs and DVDs that are recorded with extremely high quality audio.
d. Dolby D (Dolby Digital)
Digital data with AC-3 compression and a maximum of
5.1-channel surround sound. This source signal comes from DVDs and LDs that have the
fore recorded for 5.1-channel output. This source also comes from digital satellite broadcasts that support Dolby Digital.
Dial norm
Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is 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 read Dial 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. For example, if you see the message Dial Norm: +4 in the front panel display, to keep the overall output level constant just turn down the volume control by 4dB. In other words, the source material that you are listening to has been recorded 4dB louder than usual. If you do not see a message, then no adjustment of the volume control is necessary.

Listening Modes
Mono
This mode is for listening to the left and right channels separately. This mode also allows you to listen to the multiplexed soundtracks on DVDs, and other media that have them.
Stereo
This mode has all input sound is output from the left and right front speakers.
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.
Dolby D (Dolby Digital)
This mode is for listening to sources encoded with Dolby Digital in their plain format.
DTS
This mode is for listening to music DTS sources in their plain format.
DTS Film
This mode is for listening to cinema DTS sources in their plain format.
MPEG
This mode is for listening to music MPEG sources in their plain format.
MPEG Film
This mode is for listening to cinema MPEG sources in their plain format.
THX (THX Cinema)
Movies that have been encoded in Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, and Dolby Pro Logic can all benefit by activat­ing the THX mode. THX should be activated only when watching movies that were mixed for playback in large movie theater environments. THX need not be acti­vated for music, for movies that were made especially for television, or for shows such as sports programming, talk shows, and the like. This is because they were mixed in a small room environment. For best results, use a THX certified speaker system.
How to enjoy THX Surround EX
When the THX listening mode is selected, you can press the THX button on the remote controller to cycle through the settings “Auto,” “On,” and “Off.” When Auto is selected, if a Surround EX encoded source is input, it is automatically played in the THX Surround EX mode. When On is selected, all sur­round EX encoded sources and THX Surround EX playable sources (i.e., DTS-ES encoded sources) are played in the THX Surround EX mode. If the sound does not feel correct, set this to Off. If On is selected and a source that cannot be played in the THX Surround EX mode, THXCinema appears in the front display. If Off is selected, the listening mode becomes THX Cinema.
h. D.F. Mono
This corresponds to monaural digital format sources. This signal source comes from LDs, DVDs, and other digital sources that are recorded with monaural au­dio.

Input Setup
Note:
THX Surround EX can only be selected if the surround back speakers are connected.
THX Surround EX THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX divi­sion of Lucasfilm 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 <http://www.dolby.com> . Only receiver and controller products bearing the THX Surround EX logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode, faithfully reproduce this new technology in the home. This product may also engage the THX Surround EX mode during the playback of 5.1 channel material that is not Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded. In such case the information delivered to the Surround Back channel will be program dependent and may or may not be very pleasing depending on the particu­lar soundtrack and the tastes of the individual lis­tener.
Action
This mode is designed for movie soundtracks that stress special effect sounds and surround effects. In addition to strengthening the low frequency ranges for the front left, front right, and surround speakers, it also increases the surround levels. Resonance is also cut for a movie­theater feeling and increased enjoyment.
Musical
This mode is designed for watching musicals and movie soundtracks where importance is placed on the music. By slightly increasing the mid to high frequency ranges from the center speaker, the vocals from the screen seem highlighted for added listening pleasure. This mode is optimum for playing software that stresses mu­sic, environmental sounds, and the front image.
Pro Logic/3 Stereo (Dolby Pro Logic/3 Stereo)
This mode is for listening to recordings with Dolby sur­round, which consists of four channels (left, right, cen­ter, and monaural surround) and emphasizes the cen­ter channel. Dolby Pro Logic is very effective for pan­ning music, conversation, and three-dimensional sound movement output from the three front channels. It also simulates the atmosphere and surround effects of the sound reflected from the side and rear walls of the theater. Select this listening mode when you play a VHS, VHS hi-fi, LD, or DVD video that has the mark. If no surround speakers are connected, then the sur­round sound is divided and output from the front left and right channels.(3 Stereo)
Pro Logic THX (Dolby Pro Logic THX)
This mode is the same as the Dolby Pro Logic listening
mode with the THX effects added as well. Select this mode when listening to movies that were encoded us­ing Dolby Pro Logic.
Pro Logic Action (Dolby Pro Logic Action)
When listening to movies using the Dolby Pro Logic, this mode allows you to further enhance the cinematic quality by adding processing that emphasizes the sounds of the action special effects.
Pro Logic Musical (Dolby Pro Logic Musical)
When listening to music using the Dolby Pro Logic, this mode allows you to further enhance the sound quality by adding processing that emphasizes the musical ef­fects.
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 center-channel sound pro­cessed with the appropriate reverberation. This allows you to enjoy monaural sound with the atmosphere of a movie theater.
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)
For the best enjoyment of your home theater, it is rec­ommended that you have at least front left and right speakers, a center speaker, and surround left and right speakers. However, if you do 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.
Enhanced 7
Enhanced 7 intends to reproduce a natural surround environment by using 7-channel speakers. 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.
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.
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.
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.

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 to 30 ms in 0.5-ms increments. Under normal circumstances, this can left at 0 ms. For input sources using the multi channel port, this setting will not appear.
b. Relative Delay
Besides level and delay adjustments, the DTR-9.1 provides the ability to change or adjust the relative speaker position to fine tune the soundfield for the listener. This is accomplished using Integras unique Enhanced Spatial Positioning Algorithm. This adjustment provides 10 milliseconds of delay for the speakers, which is equivalent to moving the speaker 10 feet away. This adjustment is set up to provide -4 or +6 milliseconds (-4 or +6 feet) of adjustment to the listeners position.
Once the coarse adjustments-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).
a. Bass
Press the cursor button to decrease the bass sounds and press the
cursor button to increase the bass sounds. The bass can be adjusted between -12 and +12 decibels in two steps.
b. Treble
Press the
cursor button to decrease the treble sounds and press the cursor button to increase the treble sounds. The treble can be adjusted between -12 and +12 decibels in two steps.

a. IntelliVolume
When switching input sources, you may find that the output level for different components or input sources connected to the DTR-9.1 is different even though the main volume setting is the same. Under normal circum­stances, you would then have to change the volume setting each time you change the input source. This IntelliVolume setting allows you to preset a volume level for each input source separately so that when you do switch from one input source to another, the DTR-9.1 adjusts the volume accordingly so that the resulting vol­ume stays the same. To set the IntelliVolume, simply se­lect an input source at the front panel, and if that source is quieter than other sources, increase its deci­bel level with the
cursor button, or if it is louder than other sources, decrease its decibel level with the cur­sor button.
The intelli volume can be adjusted between -12 and +12 decibels.
b. 12V Trigger
Here you can set the condition of the 12V TRIGGER ter­minals for each input source.
Off:Select to have no output from either terminal A or B. A: Select to have output from terminal A only. B: Select to have output from terminal B only. With ter-

Listening Mode Setup
Description listening mode parameters
Subwoofer
Set this to “Off” if you are not using a subwoofer (even if one is connected). If No is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, then this set­ting will not appear.
Re-EQ/Academy
Depending on the listening mode, you can either turn Re-EQ on or off, or you can select Re-EQ,” “Acad­emy, or Off.
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. Academy: Older monaural film mixes relied on high­frequency 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-9.1 includes this Academy filter, which is based on contemporary playback practices for such films over wide-range systems.
On: Select to turn on the Re-EQ. Off: Select to turn off both the re-equalization and
Academy filters.
Input Channel
This allows you to set which input channel to use for monaural sound.
Auto L+R: Select this under normal circumstances for output from both the left and right speakers. 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 different language. Select the channel with the language you desire.
Output Channel
This allows you to set which output channel to use for monaural sound. If None is selected for the Center Speaker setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear.
L+R: The monaural sound is split between the left and right channels. Center: The monaural sound is output from the front center channel.
Digital Upsampling
Digital upsampling processes the input digital signal and converts its digital sampling frequency to twice the current frequency for an even further detailed sound reproduction. This can be set to either “On” or Off.
Surround Speakers
This setting allows you to decide through which speak­ers to output the sound meant for the surround speak­ers during 5.1-channel output when seven speakers are connected to the DTR-9.1.
Surround L/R: This outputs the sound to the surround left and right speakers as normal and outputs noth­ing to the surround back left and right speakers. Surround Back: This outputs the sound to the sur­round back left and right speakers and outputs nothing to the surround left and right speakers. Sur L/R+Back: This outputs the sound to both the sur­round left and right speakers and the surround back left and right speakers.
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.” No reverberation from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from the three front channels, so the sound source is be played as it is without any further reverberation.
Reflect Lvl
This parameter allows you to adjust the strength of di­rect sound reflections to match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room, and such other factors. This can be set between -5 and +5 decibels in 1-decibel increments.
Reverb Lvl
This parameter allows you to adjust the depth of acous­tic reverberation to match the playback source mate­rial, the acoustics of your room, and such other factors. This can be set between -5 and +5 decibels in 1-decibel increments.
Room Size
This parameter allows you set virtual hall size to simulate for each surround mode. You can choose from
“Large,” “Mid-Large,” “Middle,” “Mid-Small,” or “Small.”
Listening angle
The listening angle is the angle subtended by the front left and right speakers as seen from the listener. 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 20˚ - 40˚

Listening Mode Setup
Center
For systems that have a center speaker, the center channel signal can be output from the center speaker.
Virtual Surr Level
This parameter adjusts the virtual surround level. This can be set from -3 to +3 decibels.
For instance, in systems where the front left and right speakers are small, use of the center speaker may pro­vide a better sound space. (If your system uses a center speaker, be sure to perform the level calibration with the left and right speakers in the Speaker Setup menu beforehand.)
On: The center channel signal is output to the cen­ter speaker.
Dialog Enhance
This parameter allows you to adjust the dialog sound level from the center speaker if it is difficult to hear.
On: Enhances the vocal ranges for the center chan­nel signal. Off: Outputs the center channel signal at the regular level and frequency characteristics.
Off: The center channel signal is output from the front left and right speakers (Phantom Center).
Front Expander
The front expander function spreads out the sound from the front speakers for the feeling of a wide sound space.
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.

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 min (0) for no sound and a maximum of max (100). As a reference, the volume setting of Ref (82) is used as the 0 -decibel 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 for the absolute display method. With this display method, the minimum value is - , the next highest is
-81, and the maximum value is +18.
b. Muting Level
This sets the attenuation level during playback when the Muting button is pressed on the remote controller. This can be set between - , -50 and -10 decibels in 10­decibel increments.
c. Maximum Volume
This sets a maximum limit for the master volume to re­duce the chance of any components becoming dam­aged from accidental increases to the volume. For the absolute volume display method, this can be set be­tween 50 and 90. For the relative volume display method, this can be set between -32 and +17 decibels.
d. Power On Volume
This sets a designated volume setting for the DTR-9.1 to be set every time that the power is turned on. This pre­vents the DTR-9.1 from being turned on while it is set to an extremely high volume and suddenly output very loud sounds. For the absolute volume display method, this can be set between 0 and 99. For the relative vol­ume display method, this can be set between - and +18 decibels. If you do not mind having the DTR-9.1 turned on with its current volume setting, set this to Last Valid.

Note: The relationship between the OSD menu for the main zone and remote zone (Zone 2)
The DTR-9.1 cannot output the OSD menu for both the main and remote zones simultaneously. For example, if an input source with no image is selected at the main zone (only the background color is displayed on the television screen) and the Zone 2 input source is changed, then the display at the main zone changes from the background color to a display with no image and the display at Zone 2 changes to the OSD menu (Immediate Display). This is not a malfunction. To pre­vent this, change the c. Immediate Display setting for the 5-1. OSD Setup sub-menu to OFF.
The default setting for the c. Immediate Display setting of the 5-1. OSD Setup sub-menu is OFF.

Controlling the DTR-9.1 from the remote zone
1. Aiming at the remote sensor, press the POWER ON button on the remote controller.
Note:
Be aware that if you start using the system in the remote zone (Zone 2) while a recording is going on in the main zone, the recording is aborted.
2. Press the appropriate input selector button on the remote controller to select the desired source.
3. Adjust the volume on the power amplifier to the desired level.
Controlling the DTR-9.1 without the remote controller
1. Press the Zone 2 button on the DTR-9.1.
2. Select a source.
After pressing the Zone 2 button, you must press an input source button within 8 seconds. To select the same source as that selected for the main zone, press the Zone 2 button twice in succession. The indi­cator above the selected input source will light green. Adjust the volume in the remote zone as de­sired.
Notes:
If the Zone 2 button was pressed twice so that the same source is being played in the main and re­mote zones, then changing the input source in the main zone also changes the input source for the re­mote zone.

Programming procedure
When programming the commands of another remote controller to the RC-418M remote controller, you must first decide under which MODE button you want the commands to be linked. In general, you will select the MODE button that corresponds to the component you are programming. For example, if you are programming the functions from a remote controller for a compact disc player, you would choose the CD MODE button. Then, by pressing the CD MODE button, the buttons on the RC-418M remote controller will change to the commands you program here to operate the compact disc player.
After programming which MODE button to use, you will then transfer the separate commands from the other remote controller over to the RC-418M remote control­ler one at a time. Each command is then programmed to a different button on the RC-418M remote controller. Any button is programmable for this step except for the eight MODE buttons (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE, VCR, and TV), the two MACRO buttons (DIRECT and MODE), and the LIGHT button. Even after the commands have been memorized, keep your old remote controller in a safe place. If for some reason the commands are lost (e.g., when the batteries run down), it will be necessary to memorize them once again.
1. Place the remote controller and the remote controller for the other device facing each other at a distance of 5 to 15 cm (2 to 6 inches) apart.

Programming the commands of remote controllers for other devices into the remote controller
4. Press and hold down the button (that corresponds to the command you are programming) on the remote controller of the other device until the SEND/LEARN lamp on the remote controller flashes twice and SAVED appears in the display.
After flashing twice, the SEND/LEARN indicator will light again and LEARN appears in the display.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to transfer all the commands you desire from the other remote controller and program them to buttons on the remote controller under the same MODE.
Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to program commands to a different MODE (e.g., when programming from a different remote controller).
6. Press the MODE button that you pressed in step 2 to complete the programming.
7. Operate the newly programmed buttons to make sure the learning function was performed properly.
Notes:
The remote controller codes for Integra compact disc players, cassette tape decks, DVD players, and mini disc recorder have already been programmed into buttons on the remote controller. You may, however, use these buttons to program the codes for other remote controllers. If you wish to restore the Integra preset codes after you program new codes, you must first erase the new codes (see page 63).
The remote controller has 408 memory slots (8 modes x 51 buttons). Some remote controllers may have more commands that can be remembered by the remote controller. In such cases, it will be necessary for you to determine which commands are more important than others.
If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds dur­ing the programming, or if you perform an invalid operation during programming, the SEND/LEARN in­dicator flashes three times quickly, ERROR ap­pears in the display, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 2.
If a failure occurs during programming, the SEND/ LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, NG appears in the display, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 3.
If a failure occurs five times in row during program­ming, ERROR appears in the display, and the re­mote controller exits the programming mode. Re­sume from Step 3.
If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the remote controller, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six times quickly, FULL appears in the dis­play, and the remote controller exits the program­ming mode. Try programming under a different MODE button.
When you want to program a command to a but­ton to which you have already programmed a command, simply follow the same procedure given and programming for that button will be overwrit­ten.
The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its commands, as do most other remote controllers. Though most remote controller codes can be memorized by the remote controller, be aware that some remote controllers use a system that is quite different from the remote controller and therefore may not be able to be programmed.
Some remote controllers have a single button that performs multiple functions (for example, the func­tion may change each time the button is pressed). If this is the case, each function must be programmed to a separate button on the remote controller.
Once you have transferred the commands from the other remote controller, refer to the instruction manual that came with that product for instructions on how to operate that product.
Make sure both the remote controller and the other remote controller have new batteries. If either of them has batteries that are low, you may not be able to program the commands of the other re­mote controller properly into the remote controller.
62
See page 63 for how to erase the memorized commands from all buttons.
Programming the commands of remote controllers for other devices into the remote controller
Erasing the programmed command from one button
You can only erase memorized commands and not preset ones.
1. Press and hold down the desired MODE button for the command, press the ENT button, and then release both buttons.
When you press the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights and that mode appears in the dis­play. When you press the ENT button, the lamp turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp lights again and LEARN appears in the display.
2. Press and release the button for the command you wish to erase.
When you press the button, the SEND/LEARN indica­tor turns off and “RCV” appears in the display. When you release the button, the lamp lights again.
3. Press and release the same button again.
The SEND/LEARN lamp flashes twice slowly and CLEAR appears in the display. The memorized command is erased.
Note:
If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds dur­ing the programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, ERROR appears in the display, and the remote controller exits the pro­gramming mode. Resume from Step 1.

Tips:
If you erase or change the command of a button programmed in a macro, that operation of that but­ton will no longer work in the macro. In this case, it will be necessary for you to reprogram the macro in order to avoid incorrect operation.
The codes programmed into a macro will be trans­mitted at an interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some devices may not be able to complete one opera­tion in 0.5 seconds and may miss the next code. In this case, after pressing one operation button, you can press the same MODE button again before pressing the next operation button to add another
0.5 seconds between the two operations.
Programming a Macro function
You can program a different macro into the MODE MACRO button for each of the eight MODE buttons. The macro is then executed by pressing the appropriate MODE button and then pressing the MODE MACRO button. For example, to program the macro described above into the CD MODE button, perform the steps given below.
1. Press and hold down the desired MODE button (in this case, the CD MODE button), press the MODE MACRO button, and then release both buttons.
When you press the MODE CD button, the SEND/ LEARN indicator lights and CD appears in the dis­play. When you press the MODE MACRO button, the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the indicator flashes and lights again and M 01 appears in the display.
2. Press the operation buttons you wish to program in order (in this case, press AUDIO/ TAPE MODE POWER ON CD (INPUT SELECTOR) CD MODE playback button).
When you press each button, the SEND/LEARN indi­cator turns off and the display changes from M 01 M 02 M 03 etc. When you release the but- ton, the indicator lights.
3. Press the MODE MACRO button to complete the programming.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly and SAVED appears in the display.
4. Run the macro to check to see if the macro has been properly programmed.
Notes:
You may program up to 16 button operations into each macro function. If you try to program a 17th op­eration, it will be ignored, “SAVED” appears in the dis­play, and programming is stopped.
If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds dur­ing the programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, ERROR appears in the display, and the remote controller exits the program­ming mode. Resume from Step 1.
If you perform an invalid operation during program­ming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, ERROR appears in the display, and the re­mote controller exits the programming mode. Re­sume from Step 1.

Features
THX Ultra2
The new THX Ultra2 standard from Lucasfilm ensures the highest sound and picture quality and the most reliable operation. The THX Ultra2 adds the THX Ultra2 Cinema mode and THX MusicMode to the conventional THX Cinema mode to create the optimum sound space for both music and movies.
THX Ultra2 Cinema: When performing 7.1 ch playback of Dolby Digital, DTS, or other 5.1 ch movie sources, THX Ultra2 Cinema analyzes the surround components to create surround back channels for the optimum ambient and directional surround sound. This new THX Ultra2 mode provides a wider sound space to the sides and rear and a heightened feeling of the sound positioning.
THX MusicMode: This is a new mode provided with THX Ultra2 and meant for the playback of music software sources. THX MusicMode converts 5.1 ch multi­channel music sources to 7.1 ch playback with a virtual rear sound from the surround speakers and surround back speakers. The rear sound space is created with the consistency and spaciousness optimum for music playback.
DTS 96/24
The upgraded unit is equipped with the newest audio format DTS 96/24 decoder developed by DTS. It is the world’s first 96-kHz/24-bit-compatible compression audio format standard for 96-kHz/24-bit, 5.1 ch, high­quality multi-channel playback.
DTS-ES Extended Surround Decoder
• DTS-ES Discrete 6.1
This is a new format that all 6.1 ch including added surround back channels are recorded discretely in digital. Because all channels are recorded separately, you can enjoy surround sound with higher separation.
• DTS-ES Matrix 6.1
In this format, sound for added surround back channels is inserted respectively into left and right surround channels with matrix-encoded, and when playing the high precision matrix decoder decodes the inserted sound for surround back channels.
DTS Neo:6
This mode uses a high precision matrix decoder to play 2ch sound as 6.1ch sound. Full-band (frequency response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz) playback is available for all 6 channels and you can feel the channel separation of digital discrete level. In addition, you can choose a playback mode from Cinema (for movies) and Music (for music) depending on the source you want to play.
Dolby* Digital EX
Dolby Digital Surround EX takes a Dolby Digital 5.1 ch movie surround track and adds a third surround channel for output through a speaker placed behind the viewers. Even though it is hard to create the sound space behind those sitting at the ends of rows in movie theaters, by creating this independent surround channel behind the viewer and adding it to the existing left and right surround channels, the heightened feeling of presence essentially draws you into the scene. The information for the added rear channel is encoded into the left and right surround channels of normal 5.1 Dolby Digital surround tracks. Movie theaters equipped with the Dolby Digital Surround EX decoder can extract the information for the third surround channel. When movies shown using Dolby Digital Surround EX are released on DVDs or 5.1 ch digital television broadcasts as well, the information for the third surround channel is encoded within. With the Dolby Digital EX decoder in your home theater, you can extract the third surround channel and experience the movie with the surround back channel for the sound space that the producer of the movie desired. Just as it is at movie theaters, there is no loss of audio quality or data with the normal 5.1 ch Dolby Digital playback.
Dolby* Pro Logicdecoder
This is a surround decoding method which the Dolby Laboratories Inc. suggests. This method uses feedback logic circuits to restore the signal that is matrix­encoded to 2 channel, enabling 5.1 ch playback with maintaining separation as high as Dolby Digital. In this mode, either analog or digital signal can be decoded. There are two modes for Dolby Pro Logic : Movie and Music. The Movie mode is optimized for playing movies. You can play the dubbed speech recorded in Dolby surround and enjoy the videos with 2 ch sound like old movies in 5.1 ch playback full of live presence. The Music mode will provide more sound space and clearer 3D sound image localization.
Since the new playback formats above are added, the former listening modes such as DTS Film, MPEG Film, Action and Musical are organized into new listening modes. After this, some setup parameters are also updated. In addition, the following functions are upgraded.
Crossover Adjustment
The crossover adjustment enables you to adjust the bass range for the subwoofer according to the sizes of your other speakers.
96 kHz/24 bit upsampling for analog sound
Analog sound signals from VCRs and other sources can now be treated as digital signals and processed with 96 kHz upsampling and 24 bit quantization. This enables more accurate sound playback.
Extension of A/V Sync function
You can set the A/V Sync function parameters in the range of 0 to 120 ms.

Speaker configuration and placement/ Connecting speakers
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.
Important points regarding speaker placement
Front left and right speakers and center speaker
• Place these three speakers at the same height from the floor.
• Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the listener’s ears when at the listening position.
• Place the front left and right speakers the same distance from the listening position.
Surround left and right speakers
• Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter (3 feet) higher than that of the listener’s ears.
Surround back left and right speakers
• For maximum effect of the new THX Ultra2 feature, place these two speakers as close together as possible. Dipolar speakers, however, should be placed apart the required amount (below right).
• Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter (3 feet) higher than that of the listener’s ears.
Subwoofer
A subwoofer is recommended for the highest bass effect.

Most dipoles have an arrow on them to indicate their orientation towards the screen. So for the side dipoles, the arrows point forward. For the back dipoles, the arrows should point towards each other to achieve the correct acoustical phasing in the room.

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 becomes that set here. A setting of 0 decibels is recommended for optimum performance; however, if the low frequency range is 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 becomes that set here. A setting of 0 decibels is recommended for optimum performance; however, if the low frequency range is too strong, lower this setting as necessary.
b. Boundary Gain Compensation
Room boundaries (walls) or other characteristics (such as wall construction) may increase the perceived acoustics levels at low frequencies. Depending on the listener's and the subwoofer's position, the listener may experience an excessive bass effect. The purpose of this feature is to compensate for excessive bass resulting from a boundary gain effect.
ON: Boundary Gain Compensation is applied. OFF: Boundary Gain Compensation is not applied.
c. Distance between Surr Back Sp
Measure the distance between your two surround back speakers and then choose the setting that corresponds to your measurement: “0-30 cm (0-12 inch),” “>30-122 cm (>12-48 inch),” or “>122 cm (>48 inch)”. For optimum ASA effect, the surround back speakers should be placed as close together as possible.
c. MPEG Multi
The level can be adjusted to either – or between –10 and 0 decibels in 1-decibel increments. For MPEG input source signals, the LFE level becomes that set here. A setting of 0 decibels is recommended for optimum performance; however, if the low frequency range is too strong, lower this setting as necessary.

b. Digital Format
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 (e.g., if you know that you will always be listening to a certain input signal format from a particular input source).
All: Detects input signal format automatically. The Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG Multi, and PCM signals are automatically detected and decoded appropriately. If there are no digital input signal, the input signal coming into analog input jack will be played.
AC-3RF: Select this option when you play only AC-3RF signal which comes from AC-3RF output jack on a LD player to the AC-3RF input jack on you unit. When using this option, signals from other input jack will not be played. This option can be selected when you select the VIDEO 4 for input source.
DTS: Select this option when you only decode DTS signal. Other format signals will not be played.
PCM: Select this option when you only decode PCM signal. Other format signals will not be played.
Note:
If All is selected and a compact disc or LD is fast­forwarded during playback, decoded PCM signals may produce a skipping sound. In such cases, change the setting to “PCM.”
Notes on DTS:
If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the PCM setting is selected on the this unit, 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 selected All or “DTS and use the digital input jacks (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source.
If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the All setting 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 this unit lights while a DTS source is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal transmission stops, this unit 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 if you connect the player to this unit digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and this unit 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 1 OUT, and TAPE 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.
2-4. Listening Mode Preset sub-menu
With the this unit, you can set a different listening mode for each different signal format that comes from each input source and also set the parameters for the listening mode itself. For example, if your DVD player also plays compact discs and the DVD video signal is DTS and the compact disc signal is PCM, then you can set a different listening mode for each.
This is especially convenient if you frequently play the same types of movies or music. Note that some listening modes cannot be set for some input sources. In addition, if multi channel is set for the input source selected, then the listening mode cannot be set. Also, if the ---- is set for the Digital Input setting in the Digital Setup sub-menu, then you can only select Analog/PCM.

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 > 48 k
Digital PCM sources that are recorded at a sampling rate of greater than 48 kilohertz. This includes DVDs that are recorded with high quality audio.
c. PCM fs = 192 k
Digital PCM sources that are recorded at a sampling rate of 192 kilohertz. This includes DVDs that are recorded with extremely high quality audio.
d. Dolby D (Dolby Digital)
Digital data with AC-3 compression and a maximum of
5.1-channel surround sound. This source signal comes from DVDs and LDs that have the
therefore recorded for 5.1-channel output.
Dial norm
Dialogue Normalization (Dial Norm) is 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 read Dial 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. For example, if you see the message Dial Norm: +4 in the front panel display, to keep the overall output level constant just turn down the volume control by 4 dB. In other words, the source material that you are listening to has been recorded 4 dB louder than usual. If you do not see a message, then no adjustment of the volume control is necessary.
ALDOLBY DIGIT
e. DTS
DTS (Digital Theater System) is compressed digital data with a maximum 6.1-channel surround output 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

Listening Modes
Mono
This mode is for playing old movies whose sound is recorded in monaural or playing left and right channels separately in the movies which contains the different language signals recorded into individual channels. This mode also allows you to listen to the multiplexed soundtracks on DVDs, and other media that have them.
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. Subwoofer also can be used for playback.
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)
For the best enjoyment of your home theater, it is recommended that you have at least 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 D (Dolby Digital)
The Dolby D mode is used to play 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
The DTS mode is used to play DTS sources.
DTS 96/24
Automatically changes to this mode when playing back sources with surround tracks that were encoded using the DTS 96/24 technology.
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 digital format. Since all channels are recorded independently, high-fidelity 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.
MPEG Multi (MPEG Multichannel)
Used for playing MPEG multi channel source.

Input Setup
THX
This mode is for playing back sources using THX. For excellent fidelity when playing back THX sounds, it is 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 the THX division of Lucasfilm 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. In order to enjoy the full effects of the THX Surround EX technology at home, you must be using a receiver or controller with the appropriate certification logo and the receiver must be set to the THX Surround EX mode. This unit can play the 5.1 ch program in THX surround EX mode, even if the program is not encoded in Dolby Digital Surround EX format. For this kind of program, the sound from surround back channels depends on a program and may not fit to your taste.
THX Ultra2 Cinema
When performing 7.1 ch playback of Dolby Digital, DTS, or other 5.1 ch movie sources, the surround components are analyzed and used to create surround back channels for the optimum ambient and directional surround sound. This provides a wider sound space to the sides and rear and a heightened feeling of the sound positioning.
THX MusicMode
This is a new mode provided with THX Ultra2 and meant for the playback of music software sources. 5.1 ch multi-channel music sources are converted to 7.1 ch playback with a virtual rear sound from the surround speakers and surround back speakers. The rear sound space is created with the consistency and spaciousness optimum for music playback.
Pro Logic
Previous Dolby Pro Logic records the 4 channel signals (left and right front, center, monaural surround) into 2 channels using matrix encoding and, in playback, decodes the 2 channel signal into 4 channels. However, Dolby Pro Logicuse the feedback logic circuits to decode matrix-encoded 2 channel signal (e.g. Dolby Surround) more precisely into original channels for 5.1 ch playback. In Pro Logic, you can choose the Movie mode for playing movies and the Music mode for playing music.
Pro LogicMovie
In this mode, conventional narrow band monaural surround channel is played as stereo with a realistic feel of movement.
Pro LogicMusic
In this mode, surround channels will produce natural sound space from 2 channel music. The Movie mode can be used for playing the VHS or DVD video with programs. The Music mode can be used for playing music in stereo from CD and other sources.

DTS Neo:6
This mode is for 6.1 channel playback of 2 channel sources such as PCM or analog sources. All 6 channel outputs are 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.
DTS Neo:6 Cinema
This mode is good for movies. Reproduced surround sound makes realistic feel of movement as 6.1 channel sources. This mode can be used with VHS and television programs with stereo sound.
DTS Neo:6 Music
This 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 compact discs and other stereo sources.
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 center-channel sound processed with the appropriate reverberation. This allows you to enjoy monaural sound with the atmosphere of a movie theater.
Enhanced 7
Enhanced 7 intends to reproduce a natural surround environment by using 7-channel speakers. 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.

Subwoofer
Set this to Off if you are not using a subwoofer (even if one is connected). If No is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear.
Re-EQ/Academy
Depending on the listening mode, you can either turn Re­EQ on or off, or you can select Re-EQ,” “Academy, or Off.
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.
Academy: Older monaural film mixes relied on high­frequency 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. This unit includes this Academy filter, which is based on contemporary playback practices for such films over wide-range systems.
On: Select to turn on the Re-EQ. Off: Select to turn off both the Re-EQ and Academy
filters.
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 only, this channel is used for monaural sound input channel. Otherwise, left and right channels are mixed and the mixed signal is used for 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 different language. Select the channel with the language you desire.
Output Channel
This allows you to set which output channel to use for monaural sound. If None is selected for the Center Speaker setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear.
Auto L+R: The monaural sound is split between the left and right channels.
Center: The monaural sound is output from the front center channel.
Surround Speakers
This setting allows you to decide through which speakers to output the sound meant for the surround speakers during 5.1-channel output when seven speakers are connected to this unit.
Note:
If you have two surround back speakers placed very close together and you select Surround Back or Surr L/ R+Back, then you may not achieve the desired left-right separation of the sound space. In this case, Surround L+R is recommended.
Surround L/R: This outputs the sound to the surround left and right speakers as normal and outputs nothing to the surround back left and right speakers.
Surround Back: This outputs the sound to the surround back left and right speakers and outputs nothing to the surround left and right speakers.
Sur L/R+Back: This outputs the sound to both the surround left and right speakers and the surround back left and right speakers.
Upsampling
Upsampling processes the input digital signal or the converted digital signal from analog input source and converts their digital sampling frequency to twice the current frequency for an even further detailed sound reproduction. This can be set to either On or Off.
Surround Mode
Selects the Surround Mode for analog or PCM source. Available options are PLMovie (Pro LogicMovie), PL Music (Pro LogicMusic), DTS Neo:6 Cinema, and DTS Neo:6 Music. You can change the Surround Mode settings easily using the remote controller. When you set the listening mode to Pro Logicor DTS Neo:6, each press of the SURROUND button on the remote controller cyclically changes the Surround mode in the order of PL Movie, PLMusic, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, and DTS Neo:6 Music.
Surround Mode (2ch)
Selects the Surround Mode for 2 ch digital source (except for PCM). Available options are PLMovie and PL Music. You cannot select Neo:6 Cinema and Neo:6 Music.
Pro LogicMusic Panorama
Use this listening mode to expand sound space in front of a listener to both side of the listener.
On: Turns on the PLMusic Panorama mode. Off: Turns off the PLMusic Panorama mode.
Pro LogicMusic Dimension
Use this listening mode to modify the sound space location forward or backward. The setting of “3” is the normal position and setting to “2” or lower moves the sound space forward and setting to 4 or higher 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.
Pro LogicMusic Center Width
In Pro Logicdecoding, outstanding center signal will be output only from center speaker. When the center speaker is not used, the decoder divide the center signal equally to each front left and right speakers to create phantom center sound image. The Pro LogicMusic Center Width mode allows you to adjust where the center sound image is heard from. Depending on your setting, the center sound image will be heard from center speaker only, front left and right speakers (as phantom center sound image), or all three speakers (center, front left and right) in various level combinations. For home use, applying some width to center signal will improve the level balance for center and main speakers, and effect the width of the center sound image, or mass of the sound. Many of sound recordings processed for stereo playback will be reproduced better by controlling the parameter for this listening mode. The recommended setting for Pro Logic Music mode is 3. This allows you to easily distinguish the Pro LogicMusic mode from the Pro LogicMovie mode whose setting is automatically set to 0.

Listening Mode Setup
Neo:6 Music 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.
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.
Dolby EX (Others)
If you have surround back speakers connected, use this setting to select whether or not you will use Dolby EX playback for MPEG multi-channel sources.
On: For playback of MPEG multi-channel sources with Dolby EX effects added.
Off: For normal playback of MPEG multi-channel sources.
You can change the Dolby EX mode settings easily using the remote controller. While playing a MPEG Multichannel source, after selecting Dolby EX for listening mode, each press of the SURROUND button on the remote controller cyclically changes the Dolby EX mode in the order of On, or Off.
DTS-ES
Selects DTS-ES mode.
Auto: When the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag (ID signal for DTS-ES), the listening mode is automatically changed 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.
On: When the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag, the listening mode is automatically changed to DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1. If the DTS source has no DTS-ES flag, the mode is forced to be DTS-ES Matrix
6.1. Off: Even when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag, the
DTS-ES listening modes are not used. The DTS sources are always played in DTS 5.1 mode.
You can change the DTS-ES mode settings easily using the remote controller. While playing a DTS source, after selecting DTS for listening mode, each press of the SURROUND button on the remote controller cyclically changes the DTS-ES mode in the order of Auto,” “On, and Off.
THX Surround EX
Selects THX Surround EX mode when the input signal is Dolby Digital.
Auto: When the Dolby Digital source has the EX flag (ID signal for Surround EX), the listening mode is automatically changed to THX Surround EX mode. When the Dolby Digital source has no flag, the mode for the THX Mode setting below is used. Also, if a DTS source with a DTS-ES flag (ID signal for DTS-ES) is being played, THX Cinema effects for that DTS-ES playback format will be added.
Manual: Even when the source has the EX flag, the mode for the THX Mode setting below is used.
THX Mode
Selects THX mode.
Ultra2 Cinema: Playback is set to THX Ultra2 Cinema. MusicMode: Playback is set to THX MusicMode. Surround EX or DTS-ES Mtrx6.1+THX: Playback is set to

Listening Mode Setup
Listening angle
The listening angle is the angle subtended by the front left and right speakers as seen from the listener. 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 20˚ - 40˚
Center
For systems that have 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. (If your system uses a center speaker, be sure to perform the level calibration with the left and right speakers in the Speaker Setup menu beforehand.)
On: The center channel signal is output to the center speaker.
Off: The center channel signal is output from the front left and right speakers (Phantom Center).
Reverb Lvl (Level)
This parameter allows you to adjust the depth of acoustic reverberation to match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room, and such other factors. This can be set between –5 and +5 decibels in 1-decibel increments.
Room Size
This parameter allows you set virtual hall size to simulate for each surround mode. You can choose from Large, Mid-Large, Middle, Mid-Small, or Small.
Front Expander
The front expander function spreads out the sound from the front speakers for the feeling of a wide sound space.
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.
Virtual Surr Lvl (Level)
This parameter adjusts the virtual surround level. This can be set from –3 to +3 decibels.
Dialog Enhance
This parameter allows you to adjust the dialog sound level from the center speaker if it is difficult to hear.
On: Enhances the vocal ranges for the center channel signal.
Off: Outputs the center channel signal at the regular level and frequency characteristics.
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. No reverberation from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from the three front channels, so the sound source is be played as it is without any further reverberation.
Reflect Lvl (Level)
This parameter allows you to adjust the strength of direct sound reflections to match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room, and such other factors. This can be set between –5 and +5 decibels in 1-decibel increments.
