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

Front panel facilities
Front panel
Phones jack
This is a standard stereo jack for connecting stereo headphones.
The audio for the front right and left speakers are sent to the
headphone speakers. When the headphones are plugged in, the
listening mode automatically changes to stereo and output to the
speakers is stopped.
Power switch
After plugging in the power cord into the rear panel and wall
outlet, pressing this button connects the DTR-7.1 to the AC mains
and turns it on.
• Before turning on the power, make sure all cables are properly
connected.
Audio Selector button
• Turning on the DTR-7.1 may cause a momentary power surge
that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the
same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the DTR-7.1 into a
different electrical circuit.
This button is used to select the type of audio input signal. Each
time pressed, the setting cycles from “AUTO” ¡ “Multichannel”
¡ “Analog” and back.
AUTO (automatic detection): With this setting, the DTR-7.1
automatically detects whether the input signal is digital or
analog. When a digital signal is not input, then the analog
signal is played.
Standby indicator
Lights when the DTR-7.1 is in the standby state and flashes when
a signal is received from the remote controller.
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 the
Audio Setup sub-menu is set to “Yes” (see page 35).
Standby/On button
Analog: Select this setting to play back the input from a source
component connected to an AUDIO IN jack. With this setting,
even if a digital signal is input from the same component, only
the analog signal will be output.
Pressing this button while the main power is turned on the Standby
indicator lights up and the front display turns off. Pressing it again
returns it to the standby state. This state turns off the display,
disables control functions.
Input Source Buttons (DVD, Video 1–4,
Tape, FM, AM, Phono, and CD)
These buttons are used to select the input source for the main zone.
To select the input source for the remote zone (Zone 2) or
recording out (Rec Out), first press the Zone 2 or Rec Out button,
and then the desired input source button.
Zone 2 indicator
Lights when a signal is output to the remote zone (Zone 2). When
the Zone 2 indicator is off, then either output to the remote zone is
turned off or Rec Out is selected.
Rec Out/Zone 2 buttons
These buttons allow you to use the DTR-7.1 to output to a remote
zone (Zone 2) or to another component for recording purposes
(Rec Out). Press the Rec Out button to output the audio and video
signals to a recording component for recording purposes. Press the
Zone 2 button to enjoy the output from the DTR-7.1 in a different
room, which is referred to as a remote zone (Zone 2).
Video 4/Video Cam Input
These inputs are for connecting video cameras and other such
equipment.
Dimmer button
Press to set the brightness of the front display. There are 3 settings
available: normal, dark, and very dark.
When either button is pressed, the currently selected input source
for recording or outputting to the remote zone is displayed in the
front panel display. If “SOURCE” is displayed, then the same
input source as that selected for the main zone will be output.
• The dimmer control for the front display can also be performed
at the remote controller.
To select an input source, press the desired button (Rec Out or
Zone 2) and then press one of the input source button within 3
seconds. That source will be output for recording or viewing in the
remote zone. To turn off either the Rec Out or Zone 2 output, when
“SOURCE” is displayed, press the button again. “OFF” appears in
the front display.
Front display
FM Mute/Mode button
If you are listening to an FM radio station in stereo and the sound
cuts out or there is a great deal of noise, switch from STEREO to
MONO. Each time this button is pressed, the AUTO indication
flashes and the stereo mode changes from AUTO to MONO and
vice versa. This button also turns on and off the FM MUTE.
Notes:
• 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 to Zone 2, and vice versa.
• When not using Rec Out or Zone 2, turn off the signal. If
turned on and the connected component is not turned on, the
electric signal will still be sent through the circuitry and the
excess load may cause deterioration of the audio signal.
Tuning Up/Down button
Use these buttons to change the tuner frequency. The tuner frequency
is displayed in the front display and it can be changed in 50 kHz
increments for FM and 10 kHz (or 9 kHz) increments for AM.
Master Volume dial
When FM is selected, you can hold down one of the tuning buttons
and then release it to activate the auto-search feature. It will search
for a station in the direction of the button you pressed and stop
when it tunes into one.
The Master Volume dial is used to control the volume for the main
zone. The volume for the remote zone (Zone 2) is independent.

ANTENNA
These jacks are for connecting the FM indoor antenna and AM
loop antenna that are supplied with the DTR-7.1.
Optical digital input terminal
An optical digital input terminal is
equipped with a protection cap. When
connecting, remove this cap. When not
using, put the cap back on the terminal.
IR IN MAIN/IR IN ZONE 2
If the DTR-7.1 is located inside a rack or cabinet that will not
allow infrared beams to reach the IR sensor, you will need to
connect a remote sensor to IR IN MAIN input to be able to use the
remote controller. Then install the remote sensor in an unblocked
location where you can easily point the remote controller.
GND
To use the remote controller in the remote zone (Zone 2), which
may be far separated from the DTR-7.1, connect a multiroom
system kit to the IR IN MAIN/IR IN ZONE 2 input.
Use this GND terminal for connecting the ground (or earth) wire if
a turntable is connected. Refer to “Connecting a turntable” on page
18.
To be able to use the remote controller through either the IR
IN MAIN or IR IN ZONE 2 inputs, you must connect one of
the following (sold separately):
z (RI)
By connecting the z connector as shown in the diagram below,
you can use the RC-418M remote controller to operate Integra/
Onkyo cassette tape decks and compact disc players that also have
Integra/Onkyo’s z connectors. Simply connect a remote control
cable from this connector to the z connector of the cassette tape
deck or compact disc player. An z remote control cable with a
3.5-mm (1/8-inch) miniature two-conductor plug comes with
every cassette tape deck and compact disc player that has an z
connector.
• Onkyo’s Multi-Room System kits (IR Remote Controller
Extension System), or
• Multiroom A/V distribution and control systems from Niles®
and Xantech® to name a few
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT
If your DVD player or other device has component video
connectors, be sure to connect them to these component video
connectors on the DTR-7.1. The DTR-7.1 has two component
video input connectors to obtain the color information (Y, PB, PR)
directly from the recorded DVD signal or other video component
and one component video output connector to output it directly
into the matrix decoder of the display device. By sending the pure
DVD component video signal directly, the DVD signal forgoes the
extra processing that normally would degrade the image. The
result is vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike
colors and crisp detail.
• For remote control operation, the audio connection cables
must also be connected.
• The RC-418M remote controller does not support turntables.
• If the connected component has two z connectors, you can
use either one to connect to the DTR-7.1. The other one can be
used to daisy chain with another component.
• For Integra DVD or MD players, you can control them by
simply pointing the RC-418M controller directly at the
component.

• To prevent damage to
circuitry, never short-
circuit the positive (+) and
negative (–) speaker wire.
NO!
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.
• Be sure to connect the positive and negative cables for the
speakers properly. If they are mixed up, the left and right
signals will be reversed and the audio will sound unnatural.
• Connect speakers with an impedance between 6 and 16 .
Connecting speakers with an impedance less that 6 may
damage the DTR-7.1.

Connecting antennas
To the use the tuner of DTR-7.1, it is necessary to prepare the
supplied FM and AM 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.
• Adjustment and placement of the FM and AM antennas for
better reception must be done while listening to a station
broadcast.
• If better reception cannot be obtained, then placement of an
outside antenna is recommended.
If the reception is not very clear with the attached FM indoor
antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.
Assembling the AM loop antenna
Connecting the AM loop antenna:
Assemble the loop antenna as shown in the illustration.
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-7.1, televisions, speaker cables,
and power cords.
• Refer to the next page for details on connecting the AM loop
antenna.
When reception is not satisfactory with the attached AM loop
antenna alone, connection of an outdoor antenna is recommended.
FM antenna
Insert into the hole.
Connecting the AM antenna cable
1. Press down the lever.
Strip away the insulation
from the end of the cable,
then fully insert the
stripped end of the cable.
2. Insert the wire into the hole.
3. Release the lever.

Connecting antennas
Connecting an FM outdoor antenna
Directional linkage
Please make sure that you follow the considerations:
Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR)
reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with
each other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna,
use a directional linkage type splitter.
• Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy
roads, etc.).
• It is dangerous to put the antenna close to power lines. Keep it
well away from power lines, transformers, etc.
• To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding
is necessary. Follow item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on
page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.

HOME THEATER CONTROLLER
RC-418M
Power
To wall outlet
Turning the power on from the remote controller:
Connecting the power
Before you can use the remote controller, you must perform steps
1 and 2 above and place the DTR-7.1 in the standby state.
• The DTR-7.1 is shipped with the main power (Power) switch
ON
in the on position (
). When the power cord is plugged in
for the first time, the DTR-7.1 will automatically enter the
standby state and the Standby indicator will light (same
condition after step 2 below).
1. Press the AUDIO MODE button.
• Before you plug in the DTR-7.1, confirm that all connections
have been made properly.
2. Press the ON button to turn on the DTR-7.1
(take it out of the standby state).
• Turning on the power may cause a momentary power surge,
which might interfere with other electrical equipment on the
same circuit, such as computers. If this happens, use a wall
outlet on a different circuit.
• To return the DTR-7.1 to the standby state, press the
STNBY button.
Memory preservation
1. Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet.
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.
2. Press the Power switch to set the DTR-7.1 to
standby state.
The Standby indicator will light up.
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.
3. Press the Standby/On button to turn on the
DTR-7.1. The display will light up and the
Standby indicator will turn off.
If you press the Standby/On button again, the receiver returns
to Standby mode.

(3) Press the cursor button again. The DTR-7.1 will now emit
the pink noise from the front right speaker.
1-3. Level Calibration sub-menu
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.
(4) Repeat steps (2) and (3) above for the front right and other
speakers until all speakers are adjusted to the same volume
level.
Notes:
• Speakers that you selected “No” or “None” for in the Speaker
Config sub-menu will not appear.
Note:
• To accurately set the output levels, it is recommended to use a
handheld sound pressure level (SPL) meter. Set the meter to C-
weighting and slow averaging. A Radio Shack® SPL meter or
equivalent is recommended. Using the internal channel noise
generators, set each channel so that you read a 75 decibel
sound pressure level.
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 the CH SEL, LEVEL+, and LEVEL–
buttons on the RC-418M remote controller. See page 57.

component to prevent confusion later.
The settings made in this sub-menu are valid for the input source
that is currently selected with the input source buttons at the front
panel and, therefore, these settings are made separately for each
digital input source. This sub-menu will not appear if the selected

Input Setup
a. Digital Input
Notes on DTS:
This setting tells the DTR-7.1 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.
• If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the “PCM”
setting is selected on the DTR-7.1, 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 “All” or “DTS” and use the digital input jacks
(OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source.
For example, if the input source selected at the front panel is CD
and the compact disc player is connected to DIGITAL INPUT
(OPTICAL) 1, then select “OPT1” here. If the input source
selected is not connected to a digital input, then select “----.”
• If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when “All” is
selected, you may hear a noise for a short while until the DTS
decoder recognizes the DTS-encoded signal and starts
operating. This is not a malfunction.
OPT1: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) 1.
OPT2: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) 2.
COAX1: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) 1.
COAX2: Select if connected to DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) 2.
– – – –: Select if the input source is not from a digital input jack.
• 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-7.1 lights while a DTS source
is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal
transmission stops, the DTR-7.1 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.
Note:
Do not assign a digital input to more than one input source. If you
are making a digital connection that requires you to change the
default settings, be sure to always first cancel the current digital
input setting and then assign the new setting.
b. Digital Format
• 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-7.1 digitally. This is because the digital
signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling
frequency, or frequency response) and the DTR-7.1 cannot
recognize the signal as DTS data. Therefore you may hear
noise when you play a DTS source while processing the signal.
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).
• The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, TAPE
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.
All: Select for automatic detection of the input signal format. The
input signal format (Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM or Analog)
used by the selected input source is detected automatically to
execute the required decoding process.
• If a compact disc or LD encoded in the DTS format is played
back with “PCM” selected, only noise will be produced.
Always select “All” or “DTS” when playing back DTS-
encoded sources.
DTS: Select for DTS signal processing. The decoding process is
executed only when DTS signals are input.
PCM: Select for PCM signal processing. The decoding process is
executed only when PCM signals are input.
c. Multichannel
Note:
This sub-menu will not appear if AM or FM 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 5.1-channel,
6.1-channel, 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. You can only select
Multichannel with the AUDIO SELECTOR button when “Yes” is
selected here.
If “All” is selected and a compact disc or LD is fast-forwarded
during playback, decoded PCM signals may produce a skipping
sound. In such cases, change the setting to “PCM.”
Note:
When playing a device that is actually connected to the MULTI
CHANNEL INPUT terminal, select Multichannel with the
AUDIO SELECTOR button.

Input Setup
• Pro Logic/3 Stereo (Dolby Pro Logoc/3 Stereo)
Listening Modes
This mode is for playing back sources encoded using the
Dolby Pro Logic format. Select this listening mode when you
play a VHS, VHS hi-fi, LD, or DVD video that has the
mark.
Stereo
This mode has all input sound is output from the left and right front
speakers.
This surround format 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.
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.
If no surround speakers are connected, then the surround
sound is divided and output from the front left and right
channels (3 stereo).
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.
THX
This mode is for playing back sources using THX.
This mode will work well with 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and
DTS sources and Dolby encoded sources.
Surround modes
For excellent fidelity when playing back THX sounds, it is
recommended to use a THX-certified speaker system.
With this mode, decoding is performed automatically to match the
input signal. This original mode adds no sound processing to the
input signal.
• 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.
• DOLBY DIGITAL Surround,
DTS (Digital Theater System) Surround
This 5.1-channel digital surround format enables you to
individually record and play five full-range (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.
• 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.
Dolby D (Dolby Digital)
This mode is for listening to sources encoded in the Dolby
Digital format.
Dialog normalization (Dialog Norm)
Dialog normalization is a feature of Dolby Digital. With this
function, for example, if “Dialog Norm: +4” is displayed while
playing back a Dolby Digital source, it means that that source
material was recorded 4 decibels higher than normal. Thus, by
lowering the volume by 4 decibels, it can be played back at the
same standard level for other sources. However, since most
source materials have been recorded at the same standard
level, you will rarely need to adjust the volume.
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
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.
DTS
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.
This mode is for playing back DTS sources.

Input Setup
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, even if you only
have front left and right speakers, you can still 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.

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.

Listening Mode Setup
Dolby D THX Surround EX
Description listening mode parameters
This setting allows you to set whether or not Dolby Digital sources
will be played back using THX Surround EX when a surround
back speaker is connected.
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.
Auto: Automatically outputs signals with EX-identifying
signals using THX Surround EX.
On: Outputs using THX Surround EX regardless of whether or
not the signal contains EX identifiers.
Re-EQ
Depending on the listening mode, you can either turn Re-EQ on or
off.
Off: Does not output using THX Surround EX regardless of
whether or not the signal contains EX identifiers (Dolby D is
used).
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.
However, if the surround channel is monaural or nonexistent, the
playback is made using normal THX regardless of the above
setting. For THX Surround EX playback, Dolby D THX Surround
EX is displayed for the listening mode.
On: Select to turn on the re-equalization filter.
Off: Select to turn off the re-equalization filter.
DTS THX Surround EX
This setting allows you to set whether or not DTS sources will be
played back using the THX Surround EX when a surround back
speaker is connected.
Surround Speakers
This setting allows you to decide which speakers to output to when
surround back speakers are connected and you are playing back a
5.1-channel source.
On: Outputs using THX Surround EX regardless of whether or
not the signal contains ES identifiers.
Surround L/R: This outputs the sound to the surround left and
right speakers as normal and outputs nothing to the surround
back speaker.
Off: Does not output using THX Surround EX regardless of
whether or not the signal contains ES identifiers (DTS is used).
However, if the surround channel is monaural or nonexistent, the
playback is made using normal DTS regardless of the above
setting. For THX Surround EX playback, DTS THX Surround EX
is displayed for the listening mode.
Surround Back: This outputs the sound to the surround back
speakers and outputs nothing to the surround left and right
speakers. This setting can only be selected when two surround
back speakers are connected to the DTR-7.1.
Sur L/R+Back: This outputs the sound to both the surround left
and right speakers and the surround back speaker.
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.
Dolby D 6.1
This setting allows you to set whether or not Dolby Digital sources
will be played back using the matrix 6.1-channel output when a
surround back speaker is connected.
Auto: Automatically outputs signals with EX-identifying
signals using 6.1-channel Dolby Digital.
On: Outputs using 6.1-channel Dolby Digital regardless of
whether or not the signal contains EX identifiers.
Off: Does not output using 6.1-channel Dolby Digital
regardless of whether or not the signal contains EX identifiers
(Dolby D is used).
Effect Level
This parameter allows you to adjust the strength of sound effects to
match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room,
and such other factors. This can be set to “Low,” “Mid-low,”
“Middle,” “Mid-high,” or “High.”
However, if the surround channel is monaural or nonexistent, the
playback is made using normal Dolby Digital regardless of the
above setting. For Dolby Digital 6.1-channel playback, Dolby D 6.1
is displayed for the listening mode.
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.”
DTS-ES
This setting allows you to set whether or not DTS sources will be
played back using the matrix 6.1-channel (DTS-ES) output when a
surround back speaker is connected.
Auto: Automatically outputs signals with ES-identifying
signals using DTS-ES playback.
On: Outputs using DTS-ES playback regardless of whether or
not the signal contains ES identifiers.
Off: Does not output using DTS-ES playback regardless of
whether or not the signal contains ES identifiers (DTS is used).
However, if the surround channel is monaural or nonexistent, the
playback is made using normal DTS regardless of the above setting.
For DTS-ES playback, DTS-ES is displayed for the listening mode.

Listening angle
Front Expander
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.
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.
Front right speaker
Front left speaker
Virtual Surr Level
This parameter adjusts the virtual surround level. This can be set
from –3 to +3 decibels.
Listening angle
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.
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).

a. Volume Display
You can choose from two ways of displaying the volume setting
on screen.
Activated: Select when speakers are connected to the ZONE2
SPEAKERS terminals. During playback in the remote zone
(Zone 2), the listening mode for the main zone becomes either
Stereo or Direct.
Absolute: This displays the volume with a minimum of min (0)
for no sound and a maximum of max (80). As a reference, the
volume setting of Ref (62) is used as the 0 -decibel for the
relative display method.
Not Activated: Select when you are connecting an amplifier to the
ZONE 2 OUT terminals and connecting speakers to that
amplifier.
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 62 for the absolute display
method. With this display method, the minimum value is – ,
the next highest is –61, and the maximum value is +18.
b. Maximum Volume
This setting allows you to set the maximum volume that can be
output with the Master Volume Dial To Prevent Components
From Being Damaged By Excessively loud volumes. For the
absolute volume display method, this can be set between 30 and
79. For the relative volume display method, this can be set
between –32 and +17 decibels.
c. Power On Volume
This sets a designated volume setting for the DTR-7.1 to be set
every time that the power is turned on. This prevents the DTR-7.1
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 min and max. For the
relative volume display method, this can be set between – and
+18 decibels. If you do not mind having the DTR-7.1 turned on
with its current volume setting, set this to “Last.”

Listening to FM/AM Radio Stations
Tuning into a radio station
One of the features of the DTR-7.1 that is most frequently used is
its ability to play FM and AM broadcast radio stations. The DTR-
7.1 provides a number of listening modes perfect for listening to
the radio and getting the most out of your audio system. Also, by
presetting radio stations that you listen to frequently, you can
1. Press either the AM or FM input source button.
2. Using the Tuning Up and Down buttons on the
front panel, tune into the station you desire.
When you tune into a radio station, TUNED indicator appears
in the display. If you tune into an FM station in stereo, then
“FM STEREO” appears. If the signal is weak, it may be
impossible to tune into the station in stereo. In such a case,
press the FM Mute/Mode button on the front panel. The
AUTO indication disappears and the radio station is output in
the monaural mode. To return to stereo, press the FM Mute/
Mode button again. “AUTO” appears. Some inter-station
noise may be heard, but the sound will not cut in and out as it
would if stereo was selected.

Input source buttons
Of course the DTR-7.1 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.
Notes:
• If you change the input source during recording, you will
record the signals from the newly selected input source.
• You cannot record the surround effects.
• Digital signals input to the DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) and
DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) inputs will be output to the
DIGITAL OUTPUT (OPTICAL) output.
• Digital input signals are only output to the digital outputs and
analog input signals are only output from the analog outputs.
There is no conversion from digital to analog or vice versa.
When connecting CD players and other digital components, do
not connect only the digital terminals, but the analog ones as
well.
To record the input source signal you are
currently watching or listening to
This method outputs to the audio and video outputs the currently
selected input source signal. This method allows you to a signal
while you are actually listening to or watching it.

outputs use the same circuit and therefore can be used at the
same time.
6. Start recording on the video cassette recorder
and start playing at the CD player and video
camera as desired.
• You cannot record the surround effects.
• Digital signals input to the DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) and
DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) inputs will be output to the
DIGITAL OUTPUT (OPTICAL) outputs.
Notes:
• There are some restrictions on recording digital signals. When
making digital recordings, consult the instruction manual that
came with your digital recording equipment (e.g., MD
recorder or DAT deck) to know what restrictions are imposed.
• If you change the input source during recording, you will

Programming the commands of remote controllers for
other devices into the remote controller
The remote controller has two learning functions. One is a normal
learning function that enables the remote controller to learn the
Programming procedure
codes from other remote controllers. The other is a macro learning
When programming the commands of another remote controller to
function that enables you to program of series of operations into
the RC-418M remote controller, you must first decide under which
the remote controller so that they can all be performed at once by
MODE button you want the commands to be linked. In general,
you will select the MODE button that corresponds to the
pressing one button.
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
S
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.

Programming the commands of remote controllers for other devices into
the remote controller
Notes:
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.
• The remote controller codes for Onkyo 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 Onkyo preset codes after you program new codes, you
must first erase the new codes (see page 63).
After flashing twice, the SEND/LEARN indicator will light
again and “LEARN” appears in the display.
• 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.
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.
• 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.
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.
• 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.
7. Operate the newly programmed buttons to
make sure the learning function was
performed properly.
• 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.
See page 67 for how to erase the memorized commands from all
buttons.

Using a Macro function
What is a Macro function?
Programming 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-
7.1 normally, you must perform the following steps:
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 the AUDIO/TAPE MODE button.
2. Press the ON button.
3. Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button.
4. Press the CD MODE button.
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.
5. Press the playback button.
When you press the CD MODE 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.
By using the macro function, you can perform the above five
operations by only pressing two buttons.
2. Press the operation buttons you wish to
program in order (in this case, press AUDIO/
TAPE MODE → ON → CD (INPUT SELECTOR)
→ CD MODE → playback button).

• 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.
Tip:
• 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.
Running a Macro function
• 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.
Perform the procedure below to run a macro function that you
have programmed into the remote controller. After programming a
macro, you should always run it at least once to make sure that it
has been programmed properly.
1. Point the remote controller at the DTR-7.1 and
press the CD MODE button.
2. Press the MODE MACRO, and verify that the
devices operate properly.
It may take a while for the macro to finish transmitting, so be
sure to continue pointing the remote controller at the device
until the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off.
