2. Connecting a turntable (PHONO)

Connecting your audio components

Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the turntable

to the PHONO audio jacks of the DTR-8.3. Make sure that you

properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel

to the R jack.

Below is an example of how you can connect your audio components

to the DTR-8.3. Refer to the diagram above for the following

connection examples.

AUDIO IN/OUT

Note:

The DTR-8.3 is designed for use with moving magnet cartridges. For

proper operation, connect a ground (or earth) wire to the GND

terminal. For some turntables, however, connecting the ground wire

may cause increased noise, and in such a case, a ground wire is not

necessary and should not be connected.

These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are eight audio

inputs and three audio outputs on the rear panel. The audio inputs

and outputs require RCA-type connectors.

DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT

On the rear panel of the DTR-8.3, there are three coaxial digital

inputs, four optical digital inputs, and two optical digital output. To

the digital inputs, connect CD players, LD players, DVD players, or

other digital source component. To the digital output, connect MD

recorders, CD recorders, DAT decks, or other similar components.

3. Connecting a cassette tape deck, MD recorder, DAT deck, or

CD recorder (TAPE)

Using RCA audio cables, connect the output jacks (PLAY) of the

device to the TAPE AUDIO IN jacks of the DTR-8.3 and connect

the input jacks (REC) of the device to the TAPE AUDIO OUT jacks

of the DTR-8.3. Make sure that you properly connect the left

channels to the L jacks and the right channels to the R jacks.

• Since an analog connection must be made when using REC OUT

or ZONE 2, make sure that the connection to the input source is

not digital only, but analog as well.

If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL

INPUT COAX jack or DIGITAL INPUT OPT jack of the DTR-8.3

depending on the type of connector on the device.

• When using an optical input or output jack, always use an optical

fiber cable.

1. Connecting a compact disc player (CD)

With the initial settings of the DTR-8.3, the TAPE input source

is set for digital input at the OPT 2 jack.

If the digital connection is made to a different jack, this must be

changed at Setup Menu → Input Setup → Digital Setup (see page

49).

Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the compact

disc player to the CD AUDIO jacks of the DTR-8.3. Make sure that

you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right

channel to the R jack.

If the compact disc player has a digital output, connect it to either the

DIGITAL INPUT COAX jack or DIGITAL INPUT OPT jack of the

DTR-8.3 depending on the type of connector on the compact disc

player.

Connecting your video components

Signals that comes in from VIDEO and S VIDEO INPUT are output

to VIDEO and S VIDEO. Those signals are not output to

COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT.

Below is an example of how you can connect your video components

to the DTR-8.3. Refer to the diagram above for the following

connection examples.

4. Connecting a DVD player (DVD)

COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT

Using an RCA video cable, connect the video output jack

(composite) of the DVD or LD player to the DVD VIDEO IN jack of

the DTR-8.3. Or if the DVD or LD player has an S video output jack,

connect it to the DVD S VIDEO IN jack with an S video cable. Or if

the device has component video outputs, connect them to one of the

banks of COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks on the DTR-8.3.

For DVD players or other devices that have component video

connectors, the DTR-8.3 has two banks of component video input

connectors (Y, PB, PR) for direct component video input. The DTR-

8.3 also has one bank of component video output connectors for

direct component video output to the matrix decoder of a television,

projector, or other display device. By sending the pure component

video signal directly, the 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.

With the initial settings of the DTR-8.3, the DVD input source is

set for the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 1 jacks.

If you connect the DVD or LD player to the COMPONENT VIDEO

INPUT 2 jacks, this must be changed at Setup Menu → Input Setup

→ Video Setup → Component Video (see page 51).

Using an RCA audio connection cable, connect the audio output

jacks of the DVD or LD player to the DVD AUDIO IN jacks of the

DTR-8.3. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the

L jack and the right channel to the R jack.

VIDEO IN/OUT

These are the video inputs and outputs. On the rear panel, there are

five video inputs and two video outputs and each one includes both

composite video and S video configurations.

Connect VCRs, VTRs, LD players, DVD players, and other video

components to the video inputs. Connect VCRs, VTRs, and other

recording components to the video outputs to make video

recordings.

If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL

INPUT COAX jack or DIGITAL INPUT OPT jack of the DTR-8.3

depending on the type of connector on the DVD player.

• When connecting a VCR or other video component, make sure

you connect its audio and video leads to the same bank (e.g.,

both to VIDEO 3).

With the initial settings of the DTR-8.3, the DVD input source is

set for digital input at the COAX 1 jack.

• The VIDEO 5 inputs are located on the front panel.

If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be

changed at Setup Menu → Input Setup → Digital Setup (see page 49).

The flow of the video signals is as follows:

Signals that comes in from VIDEO and S VIDEO INPUT are output to

VIDEO, S VIDEO and COMPONENT VIDEO. However, signals

that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT are only output to

COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT. When connecting a video player

to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT jacks, be sure to connect your

television to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.

video outputs, connect them to one of the banks of COMPONENT

VIDEO INPUT jacks on the DTR-8.3.

The DTR-8.3 is equipped with a simple Y/C separate circuit and

simple Y/C mixed circuit. Since both the signal from the S VIDEO

and VIDEO inputs are output to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO

output, if the television or projector is equipped with an S video

input, it is unnecessary to connect the video connectors. If it is

equipped with only a video input, connect it to the MONITOR OUT

VIDEO output.

Using an RCA video cable, connect the video input jack (composite)

of the device to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO jack of the DTR-8.3.

Or if the device has an S video input jack, connect it to the

Connecting speakers

Before connecting the speakers, it is very important to place them

properly for the optimum sound space for your listening pleasure.

Be sure to refer to the instruction manuals that came with the

speakers during placement and connection. Furthermore, be aware

that for surround playback, the configuration and placement of your

speakers are both very important.

Surround back speakers

• Place these speakers so that their

height is 3 feet (1 meter) higher than

that of the listener’s ears.

• When using surround back left and

right speakers, place them behind the

listener so that the angles between the

lines from each speaker to the listener

and a line straight back from the

listener are less than 30 degrees.

For THX surround EX playback, we recommend that you use a

THX speaker system that is certified by THX Ltd.

Ideal speaker configuration

Subwoofer

When bass sound is reproduced, its volume and quality greatly

depend on subwoofer placement. Those characteristics also depends

on the shape of your listening room as well as your listening point.

Generally speaking, good bass sound is obtained when the

subwoofer is placed in the corner of the room or at one-third the

length of the room.

• Front right and left speakers

• Center speaker

Produces a rich sound image by serving as a sound source for

the front right and left speakers and enhancing the sonic

movement.

• Surround right and left speakers

Adds three-dimensional sonic movement and produces

environmental sound associated with the background and effect

sound for each scene.

• Surround back right and left speakers

Corner

Required for enjoying Dolby Digital EX, THX Surround EX,

DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, or DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 audio.

• Subwoofer

1/3 room length

Produces powerful and heavy bass.

Minimum speaker configuration for surround

sound playback

For optimizing the subwoofer placement, we recommend you to:

• Play a movie or music source containing good quality base sound,

• Take some experimenting while changing subwoofer’s position

in the room, and

• Front right and left speakers

• Surround right and left speakers

• Try different positioning until you get the most out of the base

sound while fixing the listening point.

The sound recorded for the center speaker and the subwoofer will be

properly distributed to the front right and left speakers for optimized

surround playback.

Layout with dipolar

speakers

Layout with monopolar

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.

In order to create the optimum conditions for the best sound quality,

be sure to place all the speakers so that the greatest difference

between the distances of each speaker to the listening position is

less than 20 feet (6 meters).

Important points regarding speaker placement

Front left and right speakers and center speaker

TV or screen

Surround back right speaker

• Place these three speakers all at the same height.

• Place each speaker so that it is aimed at the location of the

listener’s ears when at the listening position.

Front right speaker

10 Listening position

• Place the right and left loudspeakers at an equal distance either

side of the listening point.

Most dipoles have an arrow on them to indicate their orientation in

which that should be placed. For the correct acoustical phasing in the

room, dipolar surround speakers should be placed so that their

arrows point forward toward the screen and dipolar surround back

speakers should be placed so that their arrows point to each other.

Surround left and right speakers

• Place these speakers so that their height is 3 feet (1 meter)

higher than that of the listener’s ears.

Connecting speakers

Using the speaker labels

After determining the layout of your speaker system, it is now

necessary to connect the speakers correctly to your DTR-8.3.

The positive speaker terminals on the DTR-8.3 are color coded for

easy identification. Attach the supplied speaker labels to the speaker

cables, and then match the colors on the speaker cables to the

corresponding terminals.

Caution:

Connect only speakers with an impedance between 4 and 16 Ω to

the DTR-8.3. If the impedance of even one speaker is between 4

and 6 Ω, be sure to set the speaker impedance setting

accordingly (see page 44).

Speaker cable label

DTR-8.3

Notes:

Speaker

• Even if you are using only one speaker or listening to monaural

(mono) sound, never connect a single speaker in parallel to both

the right and left-channel terminals.

Speaker cable label

SPEAKERS

–

The speaker channels are colored as follows:

Front left speaker (+): White

Front right speaker (+): Red

Center speaker (+): Green

Surround left speaker (+): Blue

Surround right speaker (+): Grey

Surround back/Zone 2 left speaker (+): Brown

Surround back/Zone 2 right speaker (+): Tan

• To prevent damage to circuitry,

never short-circuit the positive (+)

and negative (–) speaker wire.

NO!

• 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.

• Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker

terminal. Doing so may damage the DTR-8.3.

• Connect either your surround back speakers or the speakers you

will be using in the remote zone (Zone 2) to the SURR BACK

Connecting antennas

To use the tuner of DTR-8.3, it is necessary to prepare the supplied

FM and AM antennas.

Connecting the included antennas

Connecting the FM indoor antenna:

• Adjustment and placement of the FM and AM antennas for

better reception must be done while listening to a station

broadcast.

The FM indoor antenna is for indoor use only. During use, extend the

antenna and adjust its orientation until the clearest signal is received.

Fix it with push pins or similar items 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.

• If better reception cannot be obtained, then placement of an

outside antenna is recommended.

Connecting the AM loop antenna:

Assembling 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-8.3, televisions, speaker cables, and power

cords.

Assemble the loop antenna as shown in the illustration.

• Refer to “Connecting the AM loop antenna” below for details on

The program format is displayed. For example, the display

“Dolby D: 3/2.1” shows that the format is Dolby Digital with 5.1

discrete channels consisting of three front channels (front left,

front right, and center), two surround channels (surround left and

surround right), and the low frequency effect (LFE) channel.

When the front channel number is 2, they are the front left and

front right; when it is 1, it is monaural. When the surround

channel number is 1, it is monaural; when it is 0, there is no

surround channel. When no LFE number is given, there is no

LFE channel. Also, if there is no program format for the input

signal, nothing will be displayed.

When you connect headphones, no sound will be heard from the

speakers.

When the headphones are unplugged, the DTR-8.3 returns to its

2. Input Setup Menu

This menu allows you to make the various settings concerning the

signals input from the various input sources that you use with the

DTR-8.3. The settings made in this 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

input source. Each input source may have a great number of settings

that are difficult to keep track of, so we recommend making a chart

to record what you have set and for which component to prevent

confusion later.

This sub-menu concerns the input of digital signals from input

sources and if these settings are incorrectly made, the digital audio

signals may not be properly output, or not heard at all. This sub-

menu will not appear if the selected input source button is AM or

FM. It cannot be accessible if “Yes” is selected in 2-2. Multichannel

connected to with this setting.

For example, if the input source selected at the front panel is CD and

the compact disc player is connected to DIGITAL INPUT OPT 1,

then select “OPT1” here. If the input source selected is not connected

to a digital input, then select “----.”

Although you can use this default setting as is, you may change it as

desired depending on the input signal format or if you know that you

will always be listening to a certain input signal format from a

particular input source.

When any input source other than NET AUDIO is selected, this sub-

menu appears and allows you to set the multichannel input setting.

The setting in this sub-menu 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 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-8.3 lights while a DTS source is

played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal

transmission stops, the DTR-8.3 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.

Notes:

• When playing a device connected to the MULTI CHANNEL

INPUT terminal, be sure to select “Multich” with the AUDIO

SELECTOR button on the front panel.

• You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from

certain CD players and LD players even when you connect the

player to the DTR-8.3 digitally. This is because the digital signal

has been processed (such as the output level, sampling

frequency, or frequency response) and the DTR-8.3 cannot

recognize the signal as DTS data. Therefore you may hear noise

when you play a DTS source while processing the signal.

• Changing this setting to “No” while playing in the Multichannel

setting will switch the audio mode with AUDIO SELECTOR to

“Analog.”

• The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, TAPE

OUT, and ZONE 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.

including Dolby Digital and DTS. The 5.1- channel digital

surround format enables the individual recording and playing of

five full-range (20 Hz to 20 kHz) channels (left and right front,

center, and two surround channels) plus an LFE channel (Low

Frequency Effect) for the low-range effect sound. It will create a

realistic sound that can be heard in the theaters and concert halls.

a. IntelliVolume

When switching input sources, you may find that the output level for

different components or input sources connected to the DTR-8.3 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 Intelli Volume

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-8.3 adjusts the volume accordingly and the

volume stays the same. To set the Intelli Volume, 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.

Input source signals

Listening Modes

a. Analog/PCM

Mono

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.

This mode is for playing old movies where the sound is recorded in

monaural or for playing the left and right channels of movies

separately that contain different language signals. This mode also

allows you to listen to the multiplexed soundtracks on DVDs, and

other media that have them.

b. PCM fs=96k

Digital PCM sources recorded with a sampling rate of 96 kHz.

Pure Audio

Same as the direct mode except that the pure audio mode also turns

off the display window and on screen display, turns off the power

supply to the video circuitry, and minimizes the sources of noise.

The result is high-fidelity music playback true to the original source.

c. Dolby D (Dolby Digital)

Dolby Digital is compressed digital data with a maximum of 5.1-

channel surround sound. This source signal comes from DVDs and

LDs that have the

output.

mark and therefore recorded for 5.1-channel

Note for Australian model:

In the Pure Audio mode, if any component video signal is presented

on the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT2 jack, it will be output to the

COMPONENT OUTPUT jack.

Dialog norm

Dialogue Normalization (Dialog Norm) is a 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 reads Dialog 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. This data is automatically used by the Dolby Digital

decoder to adjust the output volume of the source material

without affecting the volume of your amplifier. Therefore, even

if source material volume changes, you will not have to adjust

the volume on your amplifier.

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.

The subwoofer is also used for playback.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional)

For the best enjoyment of your home theater, it is recommended that

you have 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.

d. DTS

DTS (Digital Theater System) is compressed digital data with a

maximum 5.1-channel surround output (6.1-channel with DTS-ES

Discrete sources) 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.

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.

e. D.F. 2 ch (Digital Format 2 channel)

2-channel digital signals (not including PCM) such as Dolby Digital.

DVDs or LDs recorded with 2-channel sound may be this type of

input signal.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Opposed to Dolby Pro Logic, which had four channels (front left/

right, center, and surround) recorded into two channels with matrix

processing and then played back in four channels, Dolby Pro Logic

II uses a feedback logic circuit to have 5.1-channel surround audio

(Dolby Surround, etc.) matrix-encoded into two channels and then

played back in its original 5.1-channel form.

f. D.F. Mono (Digital Format Monaural)

Monaural digital signals (not including PCM) such as Dolby Digital.

DVDs or LDs recorded with monaural sound may be this type of

input signal.

Dolby Pro Logic II provides a Movie mode designed for playing

movies and a Music mode designed for listening to music. In the

Movie mode, the surround channels, which used to provide

monaural output over only a narrow frequency range, now provide

complete stereo output over the full frequency range. The result is

movie viewing with a realistic feel of movement. This mode can be

used with VHS and DVD videos with the

mark and

certain television programs. The Music mode uses the surround

channels to provide a natural soundfield that cannot be provided

with normal stereo output.

This mode can be used with music compact discs and other stereo

sources.

Dolby D (Dolby Digital)

This mode is used for playing Dolby Digital sources.

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.

• Dolby Digital EX

Enabled when playing back sources with surround tracks that

were encoded using the Surround EX technology.

The DTR-8.3 can play the 5.1-channel sources in THX surround

EX mode, even if the source is not encoded in Dolby Digital

Surround EX format. In this case, the sound actually output from

the surround back channels depends on the source and may not

fit your tastes.

• Dolby EX

Select to achieve the same effects as Dolby Digital EX encoded

sources with non-Dolby Digital sources.

DTS-ES Neo:6

This mode is for 6.1-channel playback of sources such as PCM or

analog sources that have only two channels. The outputs of all six

channels are a wide frequency range with a great separation between

the different channels.

Digital Signal Processing (DSP) modes

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.

This mode can be set to the Cinema mode designed for playing

movies and the Music mode designed for listening to music.

The Cinema mode is good for movies. The reproduced surround

sound provide the same realistic feel of movement as 6.1-channel

sources. This mode can be used with VHS and television programs

with stereo sound.

Enhanced 7

The Music 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 CDs and other stereo sources.

This mode reproduces a natural surround environment by using

seven speaker channels. The sound effects moving smoothly toward

the surround back. This mode is good for music and TV sports

programs.

DTS

This mode is used for playing DTS source.

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.

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 discrete

digital format. Since all channels are recorded independently, high-

fidelity surround playback with the increased feeling of a separated

sound space is achieved.

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.

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.

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.

DTS 96/24

Automatically changes to this mode when playing back sources with

surround tracks that were encoded using the DTS 96/24 technology.

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.

THX

This mode is for playing back sources recorded in the THX format.

For the utmost in fidelity when playing back THX sources, it is also

recommended to use a THX-certified speaker system.

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.

• 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 THX 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.

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.

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

and 74.0 ms in 0.5-ms increments. Under normal circumstances, this

can left at 0 ms. If set between 24.5 and 74.0 ms, upsampling is fixed

to 24.0 ms. Note that a change in the setting will not be displayed.

This setting will not appear if the selected input source is set for the

multichannel port.

This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”

You can use the Re-EQ button on the remote controller for setting

“On” or “Off.”

b. Upsampling

Upsampling processes the input digital signal, or the digital signal

converted from an analog input source, and converts its digital

sampling frequency to twice its current frequency for an even further

detailed sound reproduction. This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”

When “On” is selected, the UPSAMPLING indicator lights.

Relative Delay

b. Center, c. Surr L/R, d. Surr Back

Besides level and delay adjustments, this setting provides the ability

to change or adjust the relative speaker position to fine tune the

soundfield for the listener. This is accomplished using Onkyo’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 (3 meters) away. This

adjustment is set up to provide –4.0 or +6.0 milliseconds (–4 or +6

feet/–1.2 or +1.8 meters) of adjustment to the listener’s position.

Once the coarse adjustments (i.e., 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).

Upsampling indicator

c. Subwoofer

When “Yes” is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker

Config Sub-menu, set this to “Off” if you do not want to have sound

output from the subwoofer when listening to Analog/PCM sources.

If “No” is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Config

Sub-menu, this setting will not appear.

Note:

Surr Back will not appear if the Surr Back/Zone 2 setting in the Surr

Back/Zone 2 Sub-menu of the Hardware Setup Menu is set to “Zone

2.”

d. Late Night

The audio for movies made for the cinema have a large dynamic

range; thus, the difference between loud noises and soft noises is

great. To hear the quieter sounds such as background noises or

human conversations, the movie must be played back at larger

volumes. When this setting is set to “High” or “Low,” the dynamic

range of the sound is narrowed down to allow you to easily hear

minute sounds at low volumes. This function is especially useful if

you wish to play a movie at low volumes during the nighttime.

This can be set to either “Off” or “Low,” or “High.”

Notes:

• The Late Night function is effective only on Dolby Digital

encoded software.

• The depth of the Late Night effect is determined by Dolby

Digital software. With some sources, it may produce little or no

effect.

order to ensure this, make sure that the settings in the Speaker Distance

Sub-menu and Level Calibration sub-menu are set correctly.)

Auto L+R

a. Academy Filter

Older monaural film mixes relied on high-frequency rolloff in

presentation to sound properly balanced, so that excessive hiss from

the grain structure of the film would not be heard. The high-

frequency 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-8.3 includes this “Academy filter,” which is based on

contemporary playback practices for such films over wide-range

systems.

On: Select to have the center channel signal output to the center

speaker.

Off: Select to have the center channel signal output to the front

left and right speakers (Phantom Center).

c. Front Expander

The front expander function spreads out the stereo image in front of

the listener. The created stereo image is as if the front speakers have

been farther apart for the feeling of a wide sound space. This is

especially useful for narrow listening angles of 20 degrees or less.

This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”

b. Input Channel

This allows you to set which input channel to use for monaural

sound.

On: Select to turn on the front expander function to simulate a

wider sound space.

Auto L+R: Select this under normal circumstances. When the

input source is center channel, this center channel is used as the

monaural sound input channel. Otherwise, the left and right

channels are mixed and the mixed signal is used as the monaural

sound input channel.

Off: Select to turn off the front expander function for a normal

sound space.

d. Virtual Surr Level

This setting adjusts the level of the virtual surround signal. This can be

set from –3 to +3 decibels. Lowering this setting can improve the

sound when the definition is unclear or when the sound feels

unnatural.

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 the audio for

different languages. Select the channel with the language you

desire.

e. Dialog Enhance

If the dialog from the center channel is difficult to hear in the

Off: The playback is set to normal Dolby Digital.

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.

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.”

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.

d. DTS-ES

This setting selects the DTS-ES mode.

Auto: Select to have the listening mode change automatically to

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1. If the DTS source

has no DTS-ES flag, the mode is changed to DTS 5.1 when the

DTS source has the DTS-ES flag (ID signal for DTS-ES).

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.

On: Select to have the listening mode change automatically to

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 when the DTS

source has the DTS-ES flag, and to DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 when the

a. Re-EQ (THX)

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.

This can be set to either “On” or “Off”.

You can use the Re-EQ button on the remote controller for setting

“On” or “Off.”

a. 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” so that no

reverberation from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from

the three front channels. With this setting, the sound source is played

as it is without any further reverberation.

b. Decoder (2ch)

This setting allows you to select the decoding mode for THX

processing.

b. Reverb Level

This setting allows you to adjust the depth of acoustic reverberation

to match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room,

and such other factors.

PL II Movie: Select for Dolby Pro Logic II Movie.

Select from the three settings “Low,” “Mid,” and “High.”

c. THX Surround EX (Dolby D)

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.

c. Reverb Time

Adjust the reverb time to match the source being played back and the

acoustics of the room. Select from the three settings “Short,” “Mid,”

and “Long.”

Auto: Select to automatically output sources with EX-

identifying signals using THX Surround EX.

On: Select to output using THX Surround EX regardless of

whether or not the source contains EX identifiers.

Off: Select not to output using THX Surround EX regardless of

whether or not the source contains EX identifiers (Dolby D is

used).

Note:

THX Surround EX (Dolby D) will not appear if the Surr Back/Zone

Auto: Select to have the listening mode change automatically to

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1. If the DTS source

has no DTS-ES flag, the mode is changed to DTS 5.1 when the

DTS source has the DTS-ES flag (ID signal for DTS-ES).

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 0 for no

sound and a maximum of 100. As a reference, the volume setting

of Ref (82) is equivalent to 0 decibels 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 of the absolute display method.

With this display method, the minimum value is –∞, the next

highest is –81 decibels, and the maximum value is +18 decibels.

b. Muting Level

This sets the attenuation level during playback when the MUTING

button is pressed on the remote controller. This can be set to

–∞, or between –50 and –10 decibels in 10-decibel increments.

c. Maximum Volume

This setting allows you to set the maximum volume that can be

output with the MASTER VOLUME dial. Setting a maximum

volume allows you to prevent components from being damaged by

excessively loud volumes. For the absolute volume display method,

this can be set between 50 and 99. For the relative volume display

method, this can be set between –32 and +17 decibels. To not set a

maximum volume, select “Off.”

d. Power On Volume

This sets a designated volume for which the DTR-8.3 will be set to

every time that the power is turned on. This prevents the DTR-8.3

from suddenly outputting very loud sounds if it is turned on while it

is set to an extremely high volume. For the absolute volume display

method, this can be set between 0 and 100. For the relative volume

display method, this can be set to –∞, or between –81 and +18

decibels. To have the DTR-8.3 turned on with its current volume

setting, set this to “Last.”

Using the remote controller with Radio Frequency

(USA & Canadian models only)

Warning:

2. Switch to RF IR mode by using the Mode button

To use the remote controller with radio frequency (RF), you need an

RF Receiver, which is not included in package.

The Device menu appears.

By default, the remote controller uses infrared (IR) signals to operate

devices. This means that you have to point the remote controller’s

sending eye towards the device you are operating. IR signals have an

operating distance of 10 meters (33 feet).

3. Select the device for which you want to change the

RF IR settings.

The RF IR settings appear. The white label on the button

indicates that the selected device is currently operated with IR signals.

You can select to operate devices using radio frequency (RF) signals

instead of IR signals. RF signals have an operating distance of

approximately 20 meters (66 feet) in house and , unlike IR signals, is

able to go through obstacles like furniture or walls. The RF signals

sent out by the remote controller are picked up by the RF Receiver.

The RF Receiver translates the RF signals in IR signals and sends the

IR signals to the appropriate device.

4. Tap RF.

The RF IR settings for the selected device are transferable from

IR to RF.

Therefore, the RF Receiver has to be placed near the device you’re

operating with the RF Receiver’s sending eye pointed to the device.

Your devices will always receive IR signals either directly from the

remote controller or from the RF Receiver.

When you have only one RF Receiver, you can accept the default

settings for the Extender ID and the Channel. Continue with step 5.

When you have several RF Receivers to operate devices, you have to

assign the correct Extender ID to the selected device. Follow the

instructions as described in “Changing the Extender ID”.

Changing the remote controller’s RF IR Settings

Note:

The ID on the RF Receiver has to match the Extender ID on the

remote controller

All devices are set up by default to work with IR signals. To be able

to operate one or more devices with RF signals, you have to change

the remote controller’s RF IR settings for those devices.

1. Make sure the Device tab is active.

you have to choose another channel to operate your devices.

2. Press the + and – action buttons to change the Extender ID.

The remote controller offers 16 Extender ID’s.

Note:

All devices you want to operate with RF signals use the same

channel. If you select another channel for one device, the remote

controller will automatically change the channel for all devices that

work with RF signals.

1. Switch back to RF IR mode.

The Device menu appears.

2. Select a device that is set with RF signals.

The RF IR settings appear.

5. Tap Accept to save the RF IR settings for the

selected device.

Tap Cancel to return without changing the RF IR

settings for the selected device.

3. Tap

The button label turns white indicating that the button is active.

4. Press the + and – action buttons to change the

Channel.

The remote controller offers 4 RF Channels.

6. Repeat instructions 3 to 5 for all devices for which

you want to change the RF IR settings.

7. Tap Close.

The remote controller switches back to Use mode. The remote

controller is configured to operate the devices you have set with

RF signals.

8. Try the devices of which you just changed the RF IR

settings.

Note:

The Channel (CH) on the RF Receiver has to match the Channel

on the remote controller.

There is a possibility that a device does not respond properly when

operated with RF signals. This is mostly due to IR signals that cannot

be properly transmitted as RF signals.

In that case, you have to reconfigure the remote controller to operate

the device with IR signals again.

5. Tap Accept to save the selected Channel for all

devices that work with RF signals.

Tap Cancel to return without changing the Channel.

6. Tap Close.

The remote controller switches back to Use mode. The remote

controller is configured to operate the devices you have set with

DTR-8.3

How to Enjoy Net Audio

Features

System Requirements

The DTR-8.3 is a network audio client that is connected via a LAN to an

Audio Network Server with Net-Tune System Protocol and allows

you to enjoy music files saved on the server, as well as Internet radio,

from anywhere in your home.

Requirements for listening to both Internet radio stations

and music files saved on the music server

I Modem (a device that provides Internet connections via leased lines;

e.g., a cable modem, xDSL modem, terminal adapter)

* To have access to Internet, you typically need to make a contract

with an Internet service provider (ISP). Modem requirements differ

from ISP to ISP; for detailed information, consult with your ISP or

PC retailer.

Internet radio features

The DTR-8.3 provides enhanced support for Internet radio and allows

you to:

I Router (gateway) (a device that enables multiple PCs or devices to

connect to the Internet simultaneously)

•

Listen to both WMA and MP3 audio streamed from Internet radio

stations

An IP address can be obtained automatically by using the router’s

DHCP function.

•

Select stations by genre, location, or language

Preset up to 30 Internet radio stations

* Some routers have built-in modem functionality. Router

requirements differ from ISP to ISP; for detailed information,

consult with your ISP or PC retailer.

I Ethernet CAT-5 cable

Net-Tune Features

I Minimum Internet Connection Requirements:

The Audio Network Server distributes music files through LAN to the

DTR-8.3.

•

Broadband Internet Connection

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) based network

(requires a DHCP-enabled router)

The DTR-8.3 plays distributed music data whenever you need.

In the connection between the Audio Network Server and the DTR-8.3,

the standard TCP/IP network protocol and the Integra/Onkyo’s

proprietary NTSP protocol is used for music distribution through LAN.

The NTSP protocol handles not only data for music itself but also

additional music information including the name of tracks and artists,

enabling high usability.

•

100Base-TX switch built-in broadband router (recommended)

Notes:

•

To enjoy music on Internet Radio, it is assumed that you provide a

broadband Internet connection on which you can successfully run a

web browser. If you have any problem in connecting to the Internet,

consult with your ISP.

The Audio Network Server supports WAVE (PCM) and MP3 formats.

The WAVE format has high sound quality (equivalent to CD) with no

compression. The MP3 format is widely used through Internet

environment and has near-CD quality with compression.

•

If your ISP contract assumes manual configuration of network

settings, you need to manually configure your network settings as

described in “Network Setup Menu” (see page 6).

Hint:

The DTR-8.3 does not support network settings for PPPoE

connections; if your ISP contract requires PPPoE, therefore, you

must have a gateway/router with PPPoE support.

File Format: MP3 (Approximately 1 MB for 1 minute)

WAVE (Approximately 10 MB for 1 minute)

You may have to set up a proxy server to listen to Internet radio,

depending on the ISP you choose. If your PC is configured to use a

proxy server for Internet access, the DTR-8.3 must also be

configured the same way. For more information, see “5-2. Proxy

Setup Sub-menu” (see page 7).

•

The DTR-8.3 is designed to take advantage of the DHCP and AutoIP

functionality, thereby automatically configuring the network

settings. If you opt not to use the DHCP and AutoIP functionality,

you should manually configure the network settings. For more

information, see “5-1.IP Address Sub-menu” (see page 7).
