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.

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.
Surround left and right speakers
• Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter
higher than that of the listener’s 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 listener’s 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.

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.

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:

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 a subwoofer
Use the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack to connect a
subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier. If your
subwoofer does not have a built-in amplifier, connect
an amplifier to the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack and the
subwoofer to the amplifier. The output to PRE OUT
SUBWOOFER 1 and PRE OUT SUBWOOFER 2 is the same.

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.
The explanations here assume you are using the
buttons on the DTR-9.1 when entering the OSD menu.
However, you can use the buttons on the remote
controller as well.
The buttons on the remote controller correspond to
those on the DTR-9.1 as shown below.

Here you will set the volume for each speaker so that
they are all heard by the listener at the same level. This
is especially important for speaker layouts where the
left and right speakers are at different distances or in
asymmetrical positions due to room designs and
configurations. These settings and the distance settings
performed above are vital to create the proper
acoustics required for the optimum sound space and
dynamics.
Note:
The speaker level settings here are not effective for
multi-channel input sources. To adjust the speaker levels for multi-channel input sources, you will need to use

This setting tells the DTR-9.1 which input source button
on the front panel is connected with which digital input
jack on the rear panel. To perform this setting, you must
first select a digital input source at the front panel and
then set the name of the digital input jack it is connected to here.
For example, if the input source selected at the front
panel is CD and the compact disc player is connected
to OPTICAL IN 1, then select “OPT1” here. If the input
source selected is not connected to a digital input,
then select “----.”

b. Digital Format
The default setting is “Auto.” 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).
34
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 the
“PCM” 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 the
“Auto” 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.
35
Input Setup
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.
Last valid: When you change to an input source set to
“Last valid,” the video of the input source that you
changed from is continued. For example, if the selected input source is VIDEO 1, and you then
change to CD (set to “Last valid”), then the audio
from the CD input is played while the video from
VIDEO 1 continues.
b. Component
If a component is connected to the one of the COMPONENT VIDEO inputs (1, 2, or 3), then that input must
be set here. This setting will not appear if AM, FM,
PHONO, CD, TAPE1, or TAPE2 is selected as the input
source.
The default settings are given below.

a. Video
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.
36
Input Setup
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.”

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.
ALDOLBY DIGIT
e. DTS
DTS (Digital Theater System) is compressed digital
data with a maximum 5.1-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 compact discs, DVDs, and
LDs that have the
f. MPEG
Digital data with a maximum of 5.1-channel surround audio with MPEG compression. This source signal comes from DVDs that have the

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 Integra’s unique
Enhanced Spatial Positioning Algorithm. This
adjustment provides 10 milliseconds of delay for the
speakers, which is equivalent to moving the speaker 10
feet away. This adjustment is set up to provide -4 or +6
milliseconds (-4 or +6 feet) of adjustment to the
listener’s 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.

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 speakerFront 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.”

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.”

Though the DTR-9.1 is often used to listen to the radio, it
does not show you its true ability until it is used to play
music or watch videos, LDs, DVDs, and the like. The DTR-
9.1 has the latest in state-of-the-art features to play
back today’s acoustic technologies with the utmost in
fidelity and power. From a two-speaker system to a
seven-speaker system, you are assured a sound space
that you can always enjoy.
Selecting an input source
Before you can listen to any input media, you must first
select the input source at the DTR-9.1. This tell it which

Of course the DTR-9.1 can also be used to record an
input source media. This allows you to make copies of
the music or videos you like, copy them from one type
of media to another, or even record what is being
broadcast on television or radio. Be aware that the Rec
Out and Zone 2 buttons use the same circuit so that you
cannot make recording and output to the remote zone
(Zone 2) at the same time.

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.

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.

Using a Macro function
What is a Macro function?
A Macro function enables you to program a series of
button operations (up to 16) on the remote controller
into a single button. For example, to play a compact
disc player connected to the DTR-9.1 normally, you
must perform the following steps:
1. Press the AUDIO/TAPE MODE button.
2. Press the POWER ON button.
3. Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button.
4. Press the CD MODE button.
5. Press the playback button.
By using the macro function, you can perform the
above five operations by only pressing two buttons.

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.

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 LogicⅡdecoder
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 Ⅱ
: 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.

Input Setup
2-1. Digital Setup sub-menu
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 Setup
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
mark.
f. MPEG Multi
Digital data with a maximum of 5.1-channel surround
audio with MPEG compression. This source signal comes
from DVDs that have the
mark.
g. D.F. 2 ch (Digital Format 2 channel)
2 channel digital signal (except for PCM) such as Dolby
Digital. DVD or LD in which the 2 channel sound are
recorded may be this type of input signal.
h. D.F. Mono (Digital Format Monaural)
Monaural digital signal (except for PCM) such as Dolby
Digital. DVD or LD in which the monaural sound are
recorded may be this type of input signal.

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.
Upgraded-8
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 LogicⅡ
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 LogicⅡuse 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 LogicⅡ, you can choose the Movie mode for
playing movies and the Music mode for playing music.
• Pro LogicⅡMovie
In this mode, conventional narrow band monaural
surround channel is played as stereo with a realistic
feel of movement.
• Pro LogicⅡMusic
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.
mark or certain TV
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.

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 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 PLⅡMovie (Pro LogicⅡMovie), PLⅡ
Music (Pro LogicⅡMusic), 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 LogicⅡor DTS Neo:6, each press of the SURROUND
button on the remote controller cyclically changes the
Surround mode in the order of PLⅡ Movie, PLⅡMusic, 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 PLⅡMovie and PLⅡ
Music. You cannot select Neo:6 Cinema and Neo:6
Music.
Pro LogicⅡMusic Panorama
Use this listening mode to expand sound space in front of
a listener to both side of the listener.
On: Turns on the PLⅡMusic Panorama mode.Off: Turns off the PLⅡMusic Panorama mode.
Pro LogicⅡMusic 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 LogicⅡMusic Center Width
In Pro LogicⅡdecoding, 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 LogicⅡMusic 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 LogicⅡ
Music mode is “3.” This allows you to easily distinguish the
Pro LogicⅡMusic mode from the Pro LogicⅡMovie 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.

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

These settings can be changed easily using the remote
controller (unless THX Surround EX setting is Auto and the
playback source has an EX or ES flag). With THX mode set
for the listening mode, press the THX button on the remote
controller to cycle the mode from Ultra2 Cinema →
MusicMode → Surround EX (for DTS sources: DTS-ES Mtrx
6.1+THX) → Cinema → and back.
Decoder (Analog/PCM)
Select the decoding mode before the THX processing.
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 speakerFront 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.

a. A/V Sync
If the video signal is progressive-processed using projector
or other devices, the sound and picture may not match
and the sound is heard too early. In such a case, use this
setting to properly synchronize the audio and video. This
setting can be set between 0 and 120 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.
Note:
When you use the listening mode of DTS 96/24, A/V Sync
and Relative Delay will not be activated.
Selecting audio input signal using the AUDIO
button on the remote controller (new function)
Press the AUDIO button on the remote controller to
change the audio mode. Each time the button is
pressed, the mode changes from “AUTO” →
“Multichannel” → “Analog” and back to “AUTO.” The
“AUTO” audio mode is recommended for normal
circumstances.
AUTO (automatic detection): With this setting, this unit
automatically detects whether the input signal is digital or
analog. When a digital signal is not input, then the analog
signal is played. This setting is effective when the input
source is assigned to Digital Input in Audio Setup.
Multichannel: Select this setting to play back the input
from the component connected to the MULTI CHANNEL
INPUT port. This setting is effective when the Multichannel
setting in “2-2. Multichannel Setup” is set to “Yes.”
SN 29343353
Analog: Select this setting to play back the input from a
source component connected to an analog audio input
jacks. With this setting, even if a digital signal is input from
the same component, only the analog signal will be
output.
