Before Using the DTR-8.4
Installing the Batteries
Using the Remote Controller
To use the remote controller, point it at the DTR-8.4’s
remote control sensor, as shown below.
To open the battery compartment, press
the small hollow and slide off the cover.
1
Remote control sensor
DTR-8.4
Standby indicator
30˚
30˚
Insert the three supplied batteries (AA/R6)
2
in accordance with the polarity diagram
inside the battery compartment.
Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the
DTR-8.4 is subjected to bright light, such as direct
sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this
in mind when installing.
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in
the same room, or the DTR-8.4 is installed close to
equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote control-
ler may not work reliably.
Put the cover onto the remote controller
and slide it shut.
3
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote con-
troller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvert-
ently, thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the
DTR-8.4 is installed in a rack behind colored glass
doors. Keep this in mind when installing.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obsta-
cle between it and the DTR-8.4’s remote control sen-
sor.
Notes:
• The batteries should last for about six months,
although this will vary with usage.
• You can set the transmission signal format to infrared
(IR), or radio frequency (RF) for use with the optional
RF Receiver. This is useful when, for example, the
DTR-8.4 is installed in a rack or is not in line of sight
of the remote controller.
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try
replacing the batteries.
• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of
batteries.
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long
time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from
leakage or corrosion.
• Expired batteries should be removed as soon as possi-
ble to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

About Home Theater
Enjoying Home Theater
With the DTR-8.4’s superb functionality you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your own
home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.
For best results with DVDs that feature THX Surround EX, use a THX-certified THX speaker system.
With DVDs you can enjoy DTS, Dolby Digital, and THX soundtracks. With TV and satellite broadcasts you can enjoy
Integra’s own DSP surround listening modes.
Front left and right speakers
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a
solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the lis-
tener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so
as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
Surround back speakers
These speakers further
Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front left
and right speakers, making sound
movements distinct and providing a
full sound image. In movies it’s used
mainly for dialog.
Position it close to yourTV (preferably
on top) facing forward at about ear
level, or at the same height as the
front left and right speakers.
enhance the realism of sur-
round sound and improve
sound localization behind the
listener. Position them behind
the listener about 3 feet
(100 cm) above ear level.
Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds
of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects)
channel. Position it in a corner or one-
third of the way along the front wall.
Surround left and right speakers
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add real-
istic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly
behind, about 3 feet (100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be
equidistant from the listener.
Speaker Configuration
For the best surround-sound experience, you should connect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.
The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid bass
sound.
To get the best from your surround-sound system, you need to specify the distance between the listener and each indi-
vidual speaker so that the sound from each speaker arrives at the listener’s ears at the same time (see page 43). In
addition, you need to calibrate the level of each speaker individually to achieve the correct balance (see page 44.)

experiment by placing your subwoofer at various posi-
tions within your room and choose the one that provides
the most satisfying results at your listening position.
PositioningYour Speakers
This section explains how to position your speakers. The
picture on page 21 shows the general speaker positions.
Using Dipole Speakers
Front Left & Right Speakers
You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and
right and surround back left and right speakers. Dipole
speakers output the same sound in two directions.
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them
to indicate how they should be positioned. The surround
left and right dipolar speakers should be positioned so that
their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the sur-
round left and right dipolar speakers should be positioned
so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.
The front left and right speakers should be positioned
facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant
from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a trian-
gle, with the listener at the apex.
Center Speaker
The center speaker should be positioned close to your
TV (preferably on top) facing forward at about ear level,
or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.

speaker terminals are all black.)
Subwoofer
The volume and quality of the bass output from your
subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your
listening room, and your listening position. In general,
the best bass sound can be obtained by putting the sub-
woofer in a front corner or one-third of the way along the
front wall.

Connecting the DTR-8.4—Continued
ConnectingYour Speakers
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals to only positive
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only nega-
tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way
around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound
unnatural.
The following illustration shows which speaker should
be connected to each pair of terminals.

• Only connect speakers with an impedance of between
4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any one speaker is
between 4 and 6 ohms, be sure to select the 4 ohms
setting on the DTR-8.4 (see page 40).
• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-
door FM antenna instead (see page 25).
Connecting Antenna
This chapter explains how to connect the supplied indoor
FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect
commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.
The DTR-8.4 won’t pick up any radio signals without
any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna
to use the tuner.

Notes:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an
attic or loft.
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well
away for tall buildings, preferably with a clear line of
sight to your local FM transmitter.
2
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possi-
ble noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated
well away from power lines and other high-voltage
equipment.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock haz-
ards.
Make sure the shielding is not touching the central
conductor.
Refit the adapter’s cover, and then plug
the adapter into the 75 Ω socket.
5
■ Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If cir-
cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as
shown.
■ Using the 75/300-ohm Antenna Adapter
(Australian model only)
The 75/300-ohm antenna adapter can be used to connect
an FM antenna using either 75-ohm coaxial cable or
300-ohm twin-core flat cable.

RCA/phono AV Connection Color Coding
Before Making Any Connections
RCA/phono AV connections are usually color coded:
red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-
channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”).
Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and
outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to
connect composite video inputs and outputs.
• Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed
all audio and video connections.
Optical Digital Inputs
The DTR-8.4’s optical digital inputs have shutter-type
covers that open when an optical plug is inserted, and
close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.

Connecting the DTR-8.4—Continued
■ Using Multichannel Connections
Connecting a VCR for Playback
If your player supports multichannel audio formats such
as DVD-Audio, and it has multichannel analog audio
outputs, you can enjoy DVD-Audio playback.
Use a multichannel analog audio cable (RCA/phono) to
connect the DTR-8.4’s MULTI CH INPUT FRONT L/R,
SUB, CENTER, SURR L/R, and SURR BACK L/R to
the 5.1 or 7.1 analog outputs on your DVD player, as
shown. Alternatively, use several analog audio cables
(RCA/phono).
You can play a video from a VCR via the DTR-8.4.
Video Connections
• Use an S-Video cable to connect the DTR-8.4’s
S VIDEO VIDEO 1 IN to the S-Video output on your
VCR, as shown.
OR
• Use a composite video cable to connect the DTR-8.4’s
VIDEO VIDEO 1 IN to a composite video output on
your VCR, as shown.
An S-Video connection provides better picture quality
than a composite video connection.

Notes:
• The DTR-8.4 must be turned On for recording.
Recording is not possible while it’s in Standby mode.
• If you want to record directly from your TV or play-
back VCR to your recording VCR without going
through the DTR-8.4, connect your TV/VCR’s audio
and video outputs directly to your recording VCR’s
AV inputs. See the manuals supplied with your TV and
VCR for details.
• Video signals connected to composite video inputs
can only be recorded via composite video outputs. If
your TV and video playback components are con-
nected via composite video, you must connect your
recordingVCR via composite video as well. Similarly,
video signals connected to S-Video inputs can only be
recorded via S-Video outputs. If your TV and video
playback components are connected via S-Video, you
must connect your recording VCR via S-Video as
well.

Initially, the DIGITAL IN OPT 1 input is assigned to the
CD input source. If you connect your CD player to a dif-
ferent digital input, you’ll need to assign that input to the
CD input source (see page 45).
You can connect a DAT, CD, or MD recorder instead of
a cassette recorder.
■ Analog Connections
Use an analog audio cable (RCA/phono) to connect the
DTR-8.4’sAUDIO TAPE IN L/R inputs to the recorder’s
outputs, and use another analog audio cable (RCA/
phono) to connect the DTR-8.4’s AUDIO TAPE OUT L/
R outputs to the recorder’s inputs, as shown.
■ Using Analog Connections
Even if your CD player is connected digitally (coaxial or
optical), to use
, or to record audio from your CD
player, you’ll need to make analog audio connections as
well.
Use an analog audio cable (RCA/phono) to connect the
DTR-8.4’sAUDIO CD IN L/R inputs to the analog audio
outputs on your CD player, as shown.

Connecting the DTR-8.4—Continued
■ Using Coaxial or Optical Connections
(playback only)
• Use a coaxial digital audio cable to connect the
DTR-8.4’s DIGITAL IN COAX 2, or 3 to the coaxial
output on your recorder, as shown.
OR
Note:
Don’t connect the recorder’s digital output to the
DTR-8.4 when the recorder’s digital input is connected
to one of the DTR-8.4’s digital outputs. Doing so may
create a signal loop and cause a malfunction.
• Use an optical digital audio cable to connect the
DTR-8.4’s DIGITAL IN OPT 2 to the optical output
on your recorder, as shown.
Connecting a Turntable
The DTR-8.4’s phono inputs are for use with moving
magnet (MM) type cartridges.

■ Digital Recording
Notes:
If your recorder has a digital input, by connecting it to
one of the DTR-8.4’s DIGITAL OUTs you can record
digitally. Since the DTR-8.4 does not convert analog
input signals to digital and vice versa, only input signals
connected to a DIGITAL IN can be recorded digitally.
• If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the
GND screw on the DTR-8.4. With some turntables,
connecting the ground wire may cause hum, in which
case it should be disconnected.
• If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type car-
tridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC
phono preamp. Connect the phono preamp to your
turntable, and then connect the phono preamp to the
DTR-8.4’s AUDIO PHONO IN L/R inputs.

Connecting a Power Amp
Connecting
Components
If you want to use the DTR-8.4 as a preamp and connect
an external power amp, for example, a multichannel
power amp that’s more powerful than the DTR-8.4’s
built-in power amp, you can connect it to the PRE OUT
outputs. In this case, you should connect all speakers and
the subwoofer to the external power amp.
With
(Remote Interactive) you can control your
-compatible Integra/Onkyo CD player, DVD player,
and so on with the DTR-8.4’s remote controller, and use
the following special
functions:
• To use , you must make an RCA/phono analog
audio connection between the DTR-8.4 and the
other AV components, even if they are connected
digitally.
If you have a powered subwoofer, connect it to the
DTR-8.4’s PRE OUT SUB output.

Components
Connecting the Power Cord
Notes:
• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your
speakers and AV components.
The DTR-8.4 has AC outlet(s) on its rear panel that can
be used to connect the power cords of AV components
that you intend to use with the DTR-8.4. These compo-
nents can then be left turned on so that they turn on and
off as and when the DTR-8.4 is turned on and set to
Standby.
• Turning on the DTR-8.4 may cause a momentary
power surge that might interfere with other electrical
equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem,
plug the DTR-8.4 into a different branch circuit.
• Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied
with the DTR-8.4. The supplied power cord is
designed exclusively for use with the DTR-8.4 and
should not be used with any other equipment.
• Never disconnect the power cord from the DTR-8.4
while the other end is still plugged into a wall outlet.
Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always discon-
nect the power cord from the wall outlet first, and then
the DTR-8.4.

Dolby Pro Logic II Music
Use this mode to add 5.1 surround to stereo sources such
as music CDs and DVDs.
Listening Modes
About the Listening Modes
Dolby Digital
With its built-in surround-sound decoders and DSP pro-
grams, the DTR-8.4 can transform your home listening
room into a movie theater or concert hall.
With this format you can experience the
same superb sound that you get at a movie
theater or concert hall. Use this mode with DVDs that
bear the Dolby Digital logo.
To get the most from surround sound, it’s important that
you install and configure your speakers correctly. See
“Connecting Your Speakers” on page 23 and “Speaker
Settings” on page 40 for information.
Dolby Digital EX
With an added surround-back channel,
this 6.1 channel format offers a heightened
sense of space, for added realism with moving sounds,
such as those that rotate 360 degrees or pass overhead.
Dolby Digital EX material can also be played on conven-
tional 5.1 channel systems, in which case the surround-
back channel audio is divided between the surround left
and right channels. Use this mode with DVDs that have
a 5.1-channel soundtrack and bear the Dolby Digital
logo.
The DTR-8.4’s surround indicators show which speak-
ers are active in each listening mode.

DTS
Direct
This digital surround format offers a sur-
round sound experience with exceptional
fidelity. It uses compressed digital audio
data, with six completely separate channels
(5.1), and the ability to handle large amounts of audio
data while remaining faithful to the original. DTS pro-
vides very high-quality sound. You’ll need a DTS com-
patible DVD player in order to enjoy DTS material. Use
this mode with DVDs, LDs, or CDs that bear the DTS
logo.
The selected input source is output by the front left and
right speakers only, with minimal processing for a pure
sound.
Pure Audio
As an extension of Direct mode, this mode turns off the
display, turns off the power to the video circuitry, and
minimizes any other possible noise sources, providing a
high fidelity sound that’s true to the original. (Since the
power to the video circuitry is turned off, no video sig-
nals will be output.)
DTS-ES Discrete
Stereo
This is DTS with an added surround back
channel for 6.1 surround sound. Use it with
program material recorded in DTS 6.1 format. With the
additional surround back channel, this format offers 6.1
fully independent digital channels, providing a realistic
sense of movement and space. Use it with program mate-
rial recorded in DTS 6.1, such as CDs, DVDs, or LDs
that bear the DTS-ES logo.
The selected input source is processed as a stereo signal
and output by the front left and right speakers and the
subwoofer.
Mono
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono
soundtrack or to select multilingual soundtracks
recorded in the left and right channel of some movies. It
can also be used when playing a DVD or other source
with multiplexed audio, such as a karaoke DVD.
DTS-ES Matrix
This is DTS with an added surround back
channel for 6.1 surround sound. Use it to
provide 6.1 channel surround playback
with program material recorded in DTS 5.1
format. Since DTS 5.1 program material
contains surround back channel informa-
tion, all channels can be reconstructed for 6.1 surround
playback. Use this mode with CDs, DVDs, or LDs that
bear the DTS-ES or DTS logo.
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)
or
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround
sound even with only two or three speakers. This works
by controlling how sounds reach the listener’s left and
right ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too
much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode
in an environment with little or no natural reverb.
Dolby Pro Logic II Movie
Use this mode with DVDs and vid-
eos that bear the Dolby Surround
logo or TV programs that feature Dolby Surround. You
can also use this mode with stereo movies or TV pro-
grams and the DTR-8.4 will create a 5.1 surround mix
from the 2-channel stereo.

DSP Modes
DTS Neo:6
This mode provides 6.1 channel playback from 2-chan-
nel sources. It offers six full-bandwidth channels with
excellent separation. There are two modes of operation:
Cinema mode, which is suited to movies, and Music
mode, which is for listening to music.
Orchestra
or
Suitable for classical or operatic music. The center
speaker is turned off and the surround channels are
emphasized in order to widen the stereo image. In addi-
tion, it simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.
Cinema mode simulates the realistic sense of movement
that you get with 6.1-channel surround sound sources.
Use this mode with videos, DVDs, and TV programs that
feature stereo sound.
Unplugged
Suitable for acoustic instrument sounds, vocals, and jazz
music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simu-
lates the stage-front experience.
Music mode uses the surround channels to simulate a
natural sound field that cannot be produced with conven-
tional stereo. Use this mode with stereo source material
such as music CDs.
Studio-Mix
Suitable for rock and pop music. Listening to music in
this mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful
acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.
THX Cinema
or
THX Ltd, founded by George Lucas, develops quality
assurance programs for ensuring that movies are repro-
duced in movie theaters and home theaters just as the
director intended. THX technology is used to eliminate
spatial errors that can occur when a movie soundtrack is
adapted for use in smaller home theaters, ensuring faith-
ful reproduction.
TV Logic
Adds realistic acoustics to TV programs produced in a
TV studio. In addition, it adds surround effects to the
entire sound and adds clarity to voices.
Enhance
This mode is ideal for enjoying music programs or TV
sports programs. It provides a natural surround sound
with movement in the surround back speakers, creating
a sound with a live feeling to it.
This mode is ideal for watching a movie with a
soundtrack recorded and edited especially for playback
in the spaciousness of a typical movie theater.
Mono Movie
THX Surround EX
This mode is suitable for use with old movies and other
mono sound sources. The center speaker outputs the
sound as it is, while reverb is applied to the sound output
by the other speakers, giving presence to even mono
material.
This format was jointly developed by Dolby Laborato-
ries and THX Ltd. especially for home theater use. It’s
based on Dolby Digital EX technology. It adds an extra
surround channel to the existing front left, front right,
center, surround left, surround right, and LFE (sub-
woofer) channels, making a total of 7.1 channels. (For
best results with DVDs that feature THX Surround EX,
use a THX-certified THX speaker system.)
All Ch Stereo
Ideal for background music. The front, surround, and
surround back channels create a stereo image that fills
the entire listening area.

■ a. A/V Sync
When using progressive scanning, you may find that the
picture and sound are out of sync. With the A/V Sync
function you can delay the audio in 0.5 ms steps from 0
to 74.0 ms to get the picture and audio back in sync. The
default setting is 0 ms.
3-1.Tone Control
■ a. Bass
You can adjust the bass for the front left, right, and center
speakers and subwoofer in 2 dB steps from –12 to
+12 dB. The default setting is 0 dB. The bass cannot be
adjusted while the Direct, Pure Audio, or THX listening
mode is selected.
Note:
• If a delay time between 24.5 ms and 74 ms is set, and
then the Upsampling function is turned on, the delay
time will be fixed at 24.0 ms, however, the value
shown on the display will not change.
• This function cannot be used with the multichannel
input.
■ b.Treble
You can adjust the treble for the front left, right, and center
speakers in 2 dB steps from –12 to +12 dB. The default
setting is 0 dB. The treble cannot be adjusted while the
Direct, Pure Audio, or THX listening mode is selected.
■ b. Relative Delay
With Integra/Onkyo’s unique Enhanced Spatial Posi-
tioning Algorithm you can fine-tune the sound field by
delaying the signals to all speakers in 0.5 ms steps from
–4.0 ms to +6.0 ms (default is 0 ms). This 10 ms range
equates to a physical speaker movement of 10 feet (3 m).
Before adjusting this setting, specify the distance
between the listening position and each individual
speaker (see page 43), and adjust the level of each
speaker individually (see page 44).
By increasing the distance between the speakers (i.e.,
increasing the delay time), the sound field can be broad-
ened, and by reducing the distance (i.e., reducing the
delay time), the sound field can be narrowed.
3-2. Surround Speakers
■ a. Surround Speakers
If you are using surround back speakers, you can choose
which surround speakers to use when playing 5.1 mate-
rial. This setting can be used with the following listening
modes: DTS, DTS96/24, Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro
Logic II, THX Cinema (PL II), Mono Movie, Orchestra,
Unplugged, Studio-Mix, and TV Logic.
Surround L/R: Use only the surround left and right
speakers.
Surround Back: Use only the surround back left and
right speakers.
The procedure for changing these settings is provided
on page 68.
Surr L/R+back: Use the surround left and right and
surround back left and right speakers.

3-5. LFE Level
3-7.Theater-Dimensional
These settings are used with the Theater-Dimensional
listening mode.
■ a. Dolby Digital
With this setting you can adjust the level of the LFE
(Low Frequency Effects) channel for Dolby Digital
sources in 1 dB steps from –10 dB to 0 dB (default is
0 dB).
If you find that the low-frequency effects are too loud
when playing Dolby Digital sources, lower this setting as
necessary.
■ a. Listening Angle
With this setting you can specify the angle of the front
left and right speakers relative to the listening position.
Processing for the Theater-Dimensional listening mode
is based on this setting. Ideally, the front left and right
speakers should be equidistant from the listening posi-
tion and at an angle close to one of the two available set-
tings.
■ b. DTS
With this setting you can adjust the level of the LFE
(Low Frequency Effects) channel for DTS sources in
1 dB steps from –10 dB to 0 dB (default is 0 dB).
If you find that the low-frequency effects are too loud
when playing DTS sources, lower this setting as neces-
sary.
Front left speaker
Front right speaker
20/40˚
3-6. Mono
20º: Select if listening angle is 20 degrees.
40º: Select if listening angle is 40 degrees (default).
■ a. Academy Filter
Early movies had a mono soundtrack that suffered from
audible hiss and a poor high-frequency response due to
the quality of the film. To improve matters, the high-fre-
quencies were boosted before being recorded onto film,
and then attenuated to their original levels during play-
back in the movie theater. Some old movies have been
transferred to newer distribution media without the high-
frequencies being attenuated, creating a harsh sound
with pronounced hiss. With theAcademy Filter function,
which is based on the playback techniques used in those
days, you can attenuate the high-frequencies to their
original levels and enjoy the movie as it was intended to
be heard.
■ b. Center
With this setting you can specify whether or not you’re
using a center speaker. If you are, the center channel
sound will be output by the center speaker when using
the Theater-Dimensional listening mode. This reduces
the workload of the front left and right speakers, and cre-
ates a more articulate sound space. In this case, the set-
tings for the distance between the listening position and
each individual speaker (see page 43), and the level of
each speaker (see page 44) are important, so be sure to
set them.
On: Select if using a center speaker.
Off: Select if not using a center speaker (default).
On: Academy Filter on.
Off: Academy Filter off (default).
■ c. Front Expander
With the Front Expander function you can broaden the
width the front stereo image. This can be useful with nar-
row listening angles of 20 degrees or less.
On: Front Expander function on.
■ b. Input Channel
With this setting you can specify how 2-channel sources
are handled in the Mono listening mode.
AUTO L+R: The front left and right speakers output
the same mix of the left and right channels
(default).
Off: Front Expander function off (default).
■ d. Virtual Surr Level
With this setting you can adjust the level of the virtual
surround sound from –3 dB to +3 dB (default is 0 dB). If
the clarity is poor, or the effect sounds unnatural, you
may be able to improve it by lowering this setting.
Left: The front left and right speakers output the
sound recorded in the left channel. Use
this option with material that has different
languages recorded in the left and right
channels.
Right: The front left and right speakers output the
sound recorded in the right channel. Use
this option with material that has different
languages recorded in the left and right
channels.
■ e. Dialog Enhance
With this function you can improve the clarity of the cen-
ter channel, which usually contains dialog.
On: Dialog Enhance function on.
Off: Dialog Enhance function off (default).

When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is
attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the
sound is located centrally. This setting works well when
the listening position is considerably off center. When
set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu-
ated, maintaining the original stereo sound balance.
3-8. Surround
These settings are for the surround sound modes.
■ a. Surr Mode (Analog/PCM)
This setting determines the default surround format to be
used with analog and PCM input signals. The available
options are: Pro Logic II Movie (default), Pro Logic II
Music, Neo:6 Cinema, and Neo:6 Music.
3-9.THX
■ b. Surr Mode (D.F. 2ch)
These settings are for the THX modes.
This setting determines the default surround format that
will be used with 2-channel digital signals other than
PCM. The available options are: Pro Logic II Movie
(default), Pro Logic II Music, Neo:6 Cinema, and Neo:6
Music.
■ a. Re-EQ (THX)
This setting determines the default on/off setting for the
Re-EQ function, which is explained on page 62. This
setting is used only when a THX listening mode is
selected.
■ c. Dolby D EX (Dolby D)
■ b. Decoder (2ch)
This is the same as “Dolby Digital/Dolby Digital EX” on
page 60. It can be set even while a listening mode other
than Dolby is selected.
This setting determines whether THX Cinema should be
applied to the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie or Neo:6 Cin-
ema listening mode when THX is used with a 2-channel
input signal.
■ d. DTS-ES
This is the same as “DTS/DTS-ES Discrete/DTS-ES
Matrix” on page 60. It can be set even while a listening
mode other than DTS is selected.
PL II Movie: Apply to Dolby Pro Logic II Movie.
Neo:6 Cinema: Apply to Neo:6 Cinema.
■ c.THX Surr EX (Dolby D)
■ e. Pro Logic II Music Panorama
With this function you can broaden the width of the front
stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music
listening mode.
This is the same as see “THX Surround EX (Dolby Dig-
ital)” on page 60. It can be set even while a listening
mode other than Dolby is selected.

on page 60. It can be set even while a listening mode
other than DTS is selected.
■ f. Pro Logic II Music Dimension
With this setting you can move the sound field forward
or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music
listening mode. The default setting is 3. Lower settings
move the sound field forward. Higher settings move it
backward.
3-10. Mono Movie, 3-11. Enhance,
3-12. Orchestra, 3-13. Unplugged,
3-14. Studio-Mix, 3-15.TV Logic
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much
surround sound, move the sound field forward to
improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image
feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround
sound, move it backward.
These settings are for the DSP listening modes.
■ a. Front Effect
With this setting you can turn off the reverb for the front
speakers. This is useful when playing live material that
already contains live reverberation and the reverb added
by the DSP listening mode simply blurs the original
sound. When the Front Effect is turned off, no reverb is
added to the front left, right, and center speakers and the
original reverberation can be heard as it is.
On: Front Effect on (default).
■ g. Pro Logic II Music Center Width
With this setting you can adjust the width of the sound
from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic
II Music listening mode.
If you’re using a center speaker, with Dolby Pro Logic II,
the center channel sound is output by only the center
speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center
channel sound will be distributed to the front left and
right speakers to create a phantom center). This setting
controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing
you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound. It
can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default is 3).

Long.
The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel
surround sound from 2-channel (stereo) material. With
this setting you can specify by how much the front left
and right channel output is attenuated in order to create
the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default
is 3).
The procedure for changing these settings is provided
on page 68.

DTR-8.4_En.book Page 75 Thursday,October 16, 2003 11:09 AM
Net-Tune
About Net-Tune
Network Requirements
The DTR-8.4 can be used as a Net-Tune client on a stan-
dard Ethernet network, allowing you to play music
(MP3, WAV) stored on your network audio server
through the DTR-8.4. If your network is connected to the
Internet, you can also tune into Internet radio stations.
■ Ethernet Network
The DTR-8.4’s Ethernet port supports 10Base-T. For
best results, a 100Base-T switched Ethernet network is
recommended.Although it’s theoretically possible to use
a wireless network, due to unpredictable performance, it
may not provide satisfactory results, so a wired network
is recommended.
Internet Radio
With Internet radio you can:
■ Ethernet Router
• Listen to stations that use MP3 format streaming.
• Select stations by genre, location, or language.
• Preset up to 30 Internet radio stations.
A router manages the network, routing data and supply-
ing IP addresses.Your router must support the following:
• NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows sev-
eral networked computers to access the Internet simul-
taneously via a single Internet connection. The
DTR-8.4 needs Internet access for Internet radio.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
DHCP supplies IP address information to network
devices, allowing them to configure themselves auto-
matically.
Net-Tune
For audio delivery over Ethernet, Onkyo developed
NTSP (Net-Tune System Protocol). Since it’s based on
the industry standard TCP/IP protocol, it’s efficient and
very responsive.
• A router with a 100Base-TX switch built-in is recom-
mended.
The network audio server supports the MP3 and WAV
formats.
Some routers have a modem built-in, and some ISPs
require you to use specific routers. Please consult your
ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.
• WAV: high-quality, uncompressed, linear PCM.
• MP3: high-quality, compressed, small file size.
For more information about Net-Tune, see the following
Integra Web sites.
■ CAT5 Ethernet cable
Use a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type).
• http://www.integrahometheater.com/
■ Internet Access (for Internet radio)
To use Internet radio, your Ethernet network must have
Internet access. A narrowband Internet connection (e.g.,
56K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory results,
so a broadband connection is strongly recommended
(e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please consult
your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

DTR-8.4_En.book Page 76 Thursday,October 16, 2003 11:09 AM
Net-Tune—Continued
Notes:
• To use Internet radio with the DTR-8.4, your broad-
band Internet connection needs to be up and running
and able to access the Web. Please consult your ISP if
you have any problems with your Internet connection.
• The DTR-8.4 does not support PPPoE settings, so if
you have a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must
use a PPPoE-compatible router.
• Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a
proxy server to use Internet radio. If your PC is con-
figured to use a proxy server, use the same settings
(see page 82).
• The DTR-8.4 uses DHCP and AutoIP to configure its
network settings automatically. If you want to config-
ure these settings manually, see page 82.
NetworkingYour DTR-8.4
To connect the DTR-8.4 to your Ethernet network, plug one end of a CAT5 Ethernet cable into the ETHERNET (Net-
Tune) port, and plug the other end into a LAN port on your router or switch.
The following diagram shows how you can connect the DTR-8.4 to your Ethernet network. Here it’s connected to a LAN
port on the router, which has a 4-port 100Base-TX switch built-in.
You can connect any number of DTR-8.4s to the network, and the network audio server can serve up to three clients
simultaneously, so you can enjoy Net-Tune in three separate rooms simultaneously. The following diagram shows a Net-
Tune network with two DTR-8.4s.

Using the 12V Trigger
Using a Multiroom Kit with a Cabinet
While Zone 2 is active on the DTR-8.4, the ZONE 2 12V
TRIGGER OUT outputs 12 volts (100 milliamperes
max). By connecting this to the 12-volt trigger input on,
say, a power amp in Zone 2, the power amp will turn on
and off automatically when Zone 2 is turned on and off
on the DTR-8.4.
In the following diagram, an IR receiver picks up the
infrared signals from the remote controller and feeds
them to the DTR-8.4 in the cabinet via the connecting
block.

Using the Remote Controller with Other Components—Continued
Learning Commands from Another
Remote Controller
Point the remote controllers at
each other, about 2 to 6 inches
(5–15 cm) apart, and then, on the
other remote controller,press the
button whose command you
want to learn.
When the command has been learnt
successfully, “OK” appears on the dis-
play. You may need to press the button
several times.
5
You can teach the DTR-8.4’s remote controller new
commands simply by transmitting commands from
another remote controller one at time. For example, by
transmitting the Play and Stop commands from your CD
player’s remote controller, the DTR-8.4’s remote con-
troller can be taught to transmit those commands when
its Play [ ] and Stop [ ] buttons are pressed in CD
mode.
This is convenient when you want to add commands to
buttons after entering a remote control code (page 88).
Press and hold the [Custom] but-
1
If the command is not learnt success-
fully, after the message “FAIL” has
been displayed, the mode select display
reappears (step 3), and you should try
again.
ton for more than three seconds.
The remote controller enters Custom
mode.
Roll the scroll wheel to select
“LEARN,” and then press the
scroll wheel.
2
To teach the DTR-8.4’s remote
controller more new commands,
repeat steps 3 through 5.
Press the [Custom] button when you’ve
finished.
6
Notes:
• The following buttons cannot be taught new com-
mands: [Light], [Custom], [Macro], [Mode], [Input],
[Zone 2], and the scroll wheel button.
Roll the scroll wheel to select the
3
the remote controller mode you
want to teach a new command,
and then press the scroll wheel.
The following remote controller modes
can be selected: DVD, TV, VCR, CBL,
or SAT.
• The DTR-8.4’s remote controller can learn a total of
150 commands. However, the commands of some
remote controllers may use a lot of memory, in which
case, this total will be reduced.
• If the message “FULL” appears, the remote controller
cannot learn any more commands because its memory
is full.
• By default, the DTR-8.4’s remote controller knows the
commands for controlling an Integra/Onkyo CD
player, cassette deck, DVD player, and MD player
(e.g., Play, Stop, Pause, etc., buttons). You can teach
these buttons new commands, although the defaults
will be restored if the remote controller is reset.
On the DTR-8.4’s remote control-
ler, press the button you want to
teach the new command.
4
• To teach a new command to a button that has already
been taught a command, simply repeat this procedure.
• Like most remote controllers, the DTR-8.4’s remote
controller uses infrared. Commands from remote con-
trollers that don’t use infrared cannot be learnt.
If you press a button that cannot be
taught a new command, the message
“RETRY” appears and you should
press another button.
• When the remote controller’s batteries expire, all
learnt commands will be lost and will have to learnt all
over again, so don’t discard your other remote control-
lers.

may produce a short audible noise. This is not a mal-
function.
Video
There’s no picture?
• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed
in all the way (page 26).
• Make sure that each video component is properly con-
nected.
• If your video component is connected to a component
video input, your TV must be connected to the compo-
nent video output, unless the ComponentVideo setting
is set to VIDEO (page 47).
• Depending on the input signal, some listening modes
cannot be selected (page 58).

back speakers are connected, or Zone 2 is being used.
Can’t get 6.1 or 7.1 playback?
• If no surround back speakers are connected, or Zone 2
is being used, 6.1 and 7.1 playback is not possible.
The volume cannot be set above 99?
• When the levels of all speakers have been calibrated
(page 44), the maximum volume setting may change.
The onscreen menus (OSD) don’t appear, or
they appear in an odd position?
• Make sure that the video settings are correct
(page 46).
Noise can be heard?
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power
cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the
audio performance, so don’t do it.
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try
repositioning your cables.
• Check the Display Position and OSD Position settings
(page 73).
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which
the DTR-8.4 is connected is selected.
The Late Night function doesn’t work?
• Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital
(page 62).
Tuner
Reception is noisy, FM stereo reception is
noisy, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t
appear?
The multichannel input doesn’t work?
• Check the MULTI CH INPUT connections (page 29).
• Make sure that the multichannel input is assigned to
the correct input source (page 63).
• Relocate your antenna.
• Move the DTR-8.4 away from your TV or computer.
• Try using the AUTO FM mode (page 54).
• When listening to anAM station, operating the remote
controller may cause noise.
• Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.
• Concrete walls weaken radio signals.
• If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor
antenna.
• Set the audio input signal format to Multich (page 53).
About DTS signals
• When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit-
stream stops, the DTR-8.4 remains in DTS listening
mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to pre-
vent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or
fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your
player from DTS to PCM, because the DTR-8.4 does
not switch formats immediately, you may not hear any
sound, in which case you should stop your player for
about three seconds, and then resume playback.
• With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to
playback DTS material properly even though your
player is connected to a digital input on the DTR-8.4.
This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been
processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or fre-
quency response changed) and the DTR-8.4 doesn’t
recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases,
you may hear noise.
Remote Controller
The remote controller doesn’t work?
• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the cor-
rect polarity (page 8).
• Install new batteries. Don’t mix different types of bat-
teries or old and new batteries (page 8).
• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far
away from the DTR-8.4, and that there’s no obstruc-
tion between the remote controller and the DTR-8.4’s
remote control sensor (page 8).
• When playing DTS program material, using the pause,
fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player

• For full details on using the DTR-8.4, refer to the main instruction manual.
Enjoying Home Theater
Front left and right speakers
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a
solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the lis-
tener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so
as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

level, or at the same height as the
front left and right speakers.
Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds
of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects)
channel. Position it in a corner or one-
third of the way along the front wall.
Surround left and right speakers
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add real-
istic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly
behind, about 3 feet (100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be
equidistant from the listener.

DTR-8.4/7.4 Net-Tune Quick Start Guide
• This guide explains how to get started quickly with Net-Tune.
• The DTR-8.4/7.4 can be used as a Net-Tune client on a standard Ethernet network, allowing you to play the music (MP3,
WAV) stored on your network audio server through the DTR-8.4/7.4. If your network is connected to the Internet, you can
also tune into Internet radio stations.
• For full details on using Net-Tune, refer to the DTR-8.4/7.4’s instruction manual.
Networking the DTR-8.4/7.4
• For best results, a 100Base-TX. switched Ethernet net-
work is recommended. Although it’s theoretically possi-
ble to use a wireless network, due to unpredictable
performance, it may not provide satisfactory results, so a
wired network is recommended.

• The DTR-8.4/7.4 uses DHCP to configure its network
settings automatically. Make sure that your router’s
DHCP server is enabled. With most routers, the DHCP
server is enabled by default.
• Some routers have a modem built-in, and some ISPs
require you to use specific routers. Please consult your
ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.

• To use Internet radio, your broadband Internet connec-
tion needs to be up and running and able to access the
Web. A narrowband Internet connection (e.g., 56K
modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory results, so a
broadband connection is recommended (e.g., cable
modem, xDSL modem, etc).
