The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not user-serviceable. If power  
does not come on, contact your Integra/Onkyo authorized service station.  
3. Care  
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the  
cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a  
weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and  
wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean  
cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemi-  
cal solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove  
the panel lettering.

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-6.3. 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-6.3. Refer to the diagram above for the following  
connection examples.  
AUDIO IN/OUT  
Note:  
The DTR-6.3 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 seven 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-6.3, there are one coaxial digital input,  
two optical digital inputs, one coaxial digital output, and one optical  
digital output. To the digital inputs, connect CD players, LD players,  
DVD players, or other digital source component. To the digital  
outputs, 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 IN audio jacks of the DTR-6.3 and connect the  
input jacks (REC) of the device to the TAPE OUT audio jacks of the  
DTR-6.3. Make sure that you properly connect the left channels to  
the L jacks and the right channels to the R jacks.  
If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL  
INPUT COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL jack of  
the DTR-6.3 depending on the type of connector on the device.  
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.  
When using an optical input or output jack, always use an optical  
fiber cable.  
With the initial settings of the DTR-6.3, nothing is allocated as  
the digital input source for TAPE (----).  
1. Connecting a compact disc player (CD)  
If you connect the digital audio output, be sure to make the appropriate  
changes at Input SetupDigital Input(see page 53).  
If the device has a digital input, connect it to the DIGITAL OUTPUT  
(OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack of the DTR-6.3 for digital recording  
of the signal from the digital input of the DTR-6.3.  
Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the compact  
disc player to the CD audio jacks of the DTR-6.3. 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 COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT  
OPTICAL jack of the DTR-6.3 depending on the type of connector  
on the compact disc player.  
Note:  
The output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack of the DTR-6.3 is only  
the digital signal input to the DIGITAL INPUT jack.  
With the initial settings of the DTR-6.3, the CD input source is  
set for digital input at the OPTICAL 1 jack (OPT 1).  
If the digital connection is made to a different jack, this must be  
changed at Input SetupDigital Input(see page 53).

: Signal flow  
The flow of the video signals is as follows:  
Connecting your video components  
The signal that comes in from a VIDEO IN jack is sent to both the  
VIDEO OUT and S VIDEO OUT jacks. The signal that comes in  
from a S VIDEO IN jack is sent to both the S VIDEO OUT and  
VIDEO OUT jacks. It is not necessary to make both video and S  
video connections.  
Below is an example of how you can connect your video components  
to the DTR-6.3. Refer to the diagram above for the following  
connection examples.  
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT  
Notes:  
For DVD players or other devices that have component video  
connectors, the DTR-6.3 has two banks of component video input  
connectors (Y, PB, PR) for direct component video input. The DTR-  
6.3 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.  
• If your video output device (e.g., television or projector) is  
connected only to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO jack,  
MONITOR OUT S VIDEO jack, or both, and the video signal  
from the source component is input through the component  
video connectors, no picture will appear. Video sources input  
from the component video connectors can only be output from  
the component video connectors.  
• For more information about the DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT  
jacks, see page 16.  
• The signal that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT is  
only sent 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 IN/OUT  
These are the video inputs and outputs. On the rear panel, there are  
four 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.  
• 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).  
• The Video 4 inputs are located on the front panel.

Using an RCA video cable, connect the video output jack (composite)  
of the DVD player to the DVD VIDEO IN jack of the DTR-6.3. Or if  
the DVD 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 the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 1  
or 2 jacks on the DTR-6.3.  
With the initial settings of the DTR-6.3, the DVD input source is  
set for the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 1 jacks.  
If you connect the DVD player to the COMPONENT VIDEO  
INPUT 2 jacks, this must be changed at Input Setup→  
Component Video(see page 53).  
Using an RCA audio connection cable, connect the audio output  
jacks of the DVD player to the DVD FRONT L/R jacks of the DTR-  
6.3. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L  
jack and the right channel to the R jack.  
If the device has a 5.1-channel output, connect the DVD FRONT L/  
R, SURR L/R, CENTER, and SUBWOOFER (5.1-channel input)  
jacks of the DTR-6.3 to the 5.1-channel output jacks of the DVD  
player. Make sure that you properly connect the left channels to the  
L jacks and the right channels to the R jacks.  
If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL  
INPUT COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL jack of  
the DTR-6.3 depending on the type of connector on the DVD player.  
With the initial settings of the DTR-6.3, the DVD input source is  
set for digital input at the COAXIAL jack (COAX).  
If the digital connection is made at a different jack, this must be  
changed at Input SetupDigital Input(see page 53).  
Note:  
If the DVD player has both 5.1-channel audio outputs and 2-channel

Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers  
(DTR-6.3 only)  
The DTR-6.3 allows you to listen to two separate input sources at the  
same time. This allows you to, for example, place speakers in two  
When using the ZONE 2 PRE OUT terminals  
different rooms so that two or more people can enjoy two different  
kinds of music at the same time. The room where the DTR-6.3 is  
actually located is referred to as the main room while the separate  
room is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2). In addition, the IR  
IN terminal of the DTR-6.3 allows you to control the DTR-6.3 from  
the remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even though the  
remote zone is physically separated. The diagram below shows how  
to make the proper connections for the remote zone.  
If you are using a 5.1-channel speaker system in the main room, you  
can connect the amplifier for the remote zone (Zone 2) to the open  
ZONE 2 PRE OUT terminals and connect the remote zone speakers.

to the DTR-5.3. Refer to the diagram above for the following  
connection examples.  
Using RCA audio cables, connect the output jacks (PLAY) of the  
device to the TAPE IN audio jacks of the DTR-5.3 and connect the  
input jacks (REC) of the device to the TAPE OUT audio jacks of the  
DTR-5.3. Make sure that you properly connect the left channels to  
the L jacks and the right channels to the R jacks.  
If the device has a digital output, connect it to either the DIGITAL  
INPUT COAXIAL jack or the DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL jack of  
the DTR-5.3 depending on the type of connector on the device.  
AUDIO IN/OUT  
These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are six audio  
inputs and two audio outputs on the rear panel. The audio inputs and  
outputs require RCA-type connectors.  
DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT  
With the initial settings of the DTR-5.3, nothing is allocated as  
the digital input source for TAPE (----).

If the device has a digital input, connect it to the DIGITAL OUTPUT  
OPTICAL jack of the DTR-5.3 for digital recording of the signal  
from the digital input of the DTR-5.3.  
Since an analog connection must be made when using REC  
OUT, make sure that the connection to the input source is not  
digital only, but analog as well.  
Note:  
The output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack of the DTR-5.3 is only  
the digital signal input to the DIGITAL INPUT jack.  
When using an optical input or output jack, always use an optical  
fiber cable.  
1. Connecting a compact disc player (CD)  
Using an RCA audio cable, connect the output jacks of the compact

The flow of the video signals is as follows:  
Connecting your video components  
The signal that comes in from a VIDEO IN jack is sent to both the  
VIDEO OUT and S VIDEO OUT jacks. The signal that comes in  
from a S VIDEO IN jack is sent to both the S VIDEO OUT and  
VIDEO OUT jacks. It is not necessary to make both video and S  
video connections.  
Below is an example of how you can connect your video components  
to the DTR-5.3. Refer to the diagram above for the following  
connection examples.  
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT  
Notes:  
For DVD players or other devices that have component video  
connectors, the DTR-5.3 has two banks of component video input  
connectors (Y, PB, PR) for direct component video input. The DTR-  
5.3 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.  
If your video output device (e.g., television or projector) is  
connected only to the MONITOR OUT VIDEO jack,  
MONITOR OUT S VIDEO jack, or both, and the video signal  
from the source component is input through the component  
video connectors, no picture will appear. Video sources input  
from the component video connectors can only be output from  
the component video connectors.  
For more information about the DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT  
jacks, see page 24.  
The signal that comes in from COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT is  
only sent 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 IN/OUT  
These are the video inputs and outputs. On the rear panel, there are  
four video inputs and one video output 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.  
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).  
The Video 4 inputs are located on the front panel.

Connections (DTR-6.3/5.3)  
A-BUS LINE IN (DTR-5.3 only): The A-BUS Line In terminal is  
an audio input terminal that allows you to output to the A-BUS  
keypad the audio signal from a component other than the source  
components connected to the DTR-5.3. To this terminal, connect  
either a CD player or other source component, or the line-out  
terminal of another amplifier.  
By using the Zone2 button on the remote controller of the DTR-5.3,  
you can change which audio signal is output to the A-BUS keypad:  
either the signal selected by the input selectors on the DTR-5.3, or  
the audio signal input at the A-BUS Line In terminal.  
AC OUTLETS  
The DTR-6.3/5.3 is equipped with AC mains outlets for connecting  
the power cords from other devices so that their power is supplied  
through the DTR-6.3/5.3. By doing this, you can leave the connected  
device turned on and have the Standby/On button on the DTR-6.3/  
5.3 turn on and off the device together with the DTR-6.3/5.3.  
The shape, number, and total capacity of the AC outlets may  
differ depending on the area of purchase.  
Caution:  
Make sure that the total capacity of the components connected to the  
DTR-6.3/5.3 does not exceed the capacity that is printed on the rear  
panel (e.g., TOTAL 120W).  
12V TRIGGER OUT  
DTR-6.3/5.3: 12V TRIGGER OUT A/B  
These terminals are provided so that you can use the operation of the  
DTR-6.3/5.3 control the operation of another externally connected  
device. Connect the component to this 1/8-inch mini-jack terminal  
and when the set input source is selected, the device will turn on. Set  
the 12V TRIGGER terminal using the Setup menu: Input setup Æ  
12V trigger (see page 42).  
DTR-6.3 only: 12V TRIGGER OUT ZONE2  
When the DTR-6.3 is in the ZONE 2 mode, this terminal outputs at  
12 V/100 mA.  
AC OUTLETS  
AC 120V 60Hz SWITCHED  
TOTAL 120W 1A MAX.  
AC INLET  
Plug the supplied power cord into this AC INLET and then into the  
power outlet on the wall.  
Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the  
DTR-6.3/5.3. The power cord supplied is designed for use with  
the DTR-6.3/5.3 and should not be used with any other device.  
RS 232  
The RS 232 port is to be used in conjunction with an external  
controller to control the operation of the DTR-6.3/5.3 by using an  
external device.  
Never have the power cord disconnected from the DTR-6.3/5.3  
while the other end is plugged into the wall outlet. Doing so may  
cause an electric shock. Always connect by plugging into the  
wall outlet last and disconnect by unplugging from the wall  
outlet first.  
A-BUS  
A-BUS is a simple, efficient, elegant audio distribution system. The  
wiring installation time is significantly reduced as only a single  
CAT-5 wire is run to each location. A-BUS is easy to use, reliable,  
affordable, and most of all, far better sounding than conventional  
autoformer based volume controls.  
AC INLET  
ZONE A/B/C/D: Use a CAT-5 (eight conductor twisted) cable to  
connect directly from the receivers A-BUS RJ45 Hub to an A-BUS  
keypad. A-BUS outputs enable connection up to four A-BUS  
keypads.  
Power cord  
(supplied)  
Warning:  
DO NOT connect A-BUS outputs to any computer or network  
connections (i.e. ethernet). It will cause damage to the computer or  
network components as 24-volt power runs on this same cable to  
power the amplifier stages of the amplifier module.  
To an AC wall  
outlet  
IR control: Another feature of the A-BUS system is the ability to  
control source equipment in another room where the A-BUS module  
is installed. If you wish to control another source from the receiver at  
the A-BUS keypad by remote control, connect A-BUS or another  
brands' IR emitter on the receiver's 40 k terminal. Then place the  
emitter on the remote receiver on the front panel.  
Typically, the emitter will work when you connect with a 40 K  
connector. If it does not work, try a 56 K connector.  
DC INPUT: Connect A-BUS power supply. Do not use any other  
AC Adapter on this connector as it may cause severe damage to the  
receiver.

Connecting a subwoofer  
After determining the layout of your speaker system, it is now  
necessary to connect the speakers correctly to your DTR-6.3/5.3.  
Use the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to connect a subwoofer with  
a built-in power amplifier. If your subwoofer does not have a built-in  
amplifier, connect an amplifier to the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack  
and the subwoofer to the amplifier.  
Caution:  
Connect only speakers with an impedance between 6 and 16 to  
the DTR-6.3/5.3. Connecting speakers with an impedance lower  
than 6 may damage the amplifier.  
Notes:  
Connecting to the SPEAKERS B terminals  
(DTR-5.3 only)  
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.  
If you require an additional set of front speakers (left and right), such  
as for use in another room, connect them to the FRONT SPEAKERS  
B inputs.  
Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker  
terminal. Doing so may damage the DTR-6.3/5.3.  
When you listen to surround audio or select Multichannel, be  
sure to turn on SPEAKERS A.  
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.

Before you plug in the DTR-6.3/5.3, confirm that all connections  
have been made properly.  
Turning on the power from the remote controller  
Before you can use the remote controller, you must perform step 1  
above and place the DTR-6.3/5.3 in the standby state.  
Turning on the power may cause a momentary power surge,  
which might interfere with other electrical equipment on the  
same circuit, such as computers. If this happens, use a wall outlet  
on a different circuit.  
1. Press the RCVR Mode button.  
The RCVR Mode button lights green.  
Turning on the power  
2. Press the ON button to turn on the  
DTR-6.3/5.3 (take it out of the  
standby state).  
1. Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet.  
The Standby indicator will light up.  
To return the DTR-6.3/5.3 to the standby  
state, press the Standby button.  
2. Press the Standby/On button to turn on the DTR-6.3/  
5.3.  
Memory preservation  
The display will light up and the Standby indicator will turn off.  
If you press the Standby/On button again, the receiver returns to  
standby state.  
The DTR-6.3/5.3 does not require memory preservation batteries.  
A built-in memory backup system preserves the contents of  
memory (e.g., speaker settings and surround settings) during  
power failures and even when the unit is unplugged. The unit  
must be plugged in order to change the back-up system.  
The length of time that the memory will be preserved will vary  
depending on the ambient climate. On the average, memory  
contents are protected over a period of a few weeks after the last  
time the unit has been unplugged. This period may be shorter  
when the unit is exposed to a highly humid climate.

Connecting antennas  
To use the tuner of the DTR-6.3/5.3, it is necessary to prepare the  
supplied FM and AM antennas.  
Connecting the included antennas  
Adjustment and placement of the FM and AM antennas for  
better reception must be done while listening to a station  
broadcast.  
Connecting the FM indoor antenna:  
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-6.3/5.3, televisions, speaker cables, and  
power cords.  
If the reception is not very clear with the attached AM indoor  
antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.  
Assemble the loop antenna as shown in the illustration.  
Refer to Connecting the AM loop antennabelow for details on  
how to connect the loop antenna.

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

Listening Modes  
The DTR-6.3/5.3s surround sound enables you to enjoy the  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
presence of a movie theater or concert hall in your room.  
Opposed to Dolby Pro Logic, which had four channels (front, left,  
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.  
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. The Music mode  
uses the surround channels to provide a natural soundfield that  
cannot be provided with normal stereo output.  
The configuration of the speakers is very important for the surround  
sound. Refer to Connecting speakerson page 30.  
Before using a listening mode, make sure the Speaker Config,  
Speaker Distance, and Level Calibration parameters have been set  
(see pages 36 to 39) . Once the parameters have been set, it is not  
necessary to set them again. See page 51 for information regarding  
how to select the listening mode.  
Dolby D (Dolby Digital)  
The Dolby D mode is used to play Dolby Digital sources.  
Dolby Digital is digital data with AC-3 compression and a maximum  
of 5.1-channel* surround sound. This source signal comes from  
DVDs and LDs that have the  
mark and therefore recorded for  
This mode can be used with VHS and DVD videos with the  
mark and certain television programs. The Music mode  
5.1-channel output. This source also comes from digital satellite  
broadcasts that support Dolby Digital.  
can be used with music compact discs and other stereo sources.  
* 5.1-channel Digital Format  
The 5.1-channel digital surround format has a variety of versions  
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.  
DTS 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.  
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.  
Dolby Digital EX  
When using surround back speakers, the Dolby Digital source is  
played back using the Matrix 6.1-channel decoder.  
DTS  
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.  
The DTS mode is used to play DTS sources.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Pure Audio (DTR-6.3 only)  
Same as the direct mode except that the pure audio mode also turns  
off the display window, 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.  
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1  
Note that if you connect a device to the COMPONENT VIDEO  
INPUT jacks of the DTR-6.3, the relay switch activates and signals  
are output to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks. Therefore,  
the display on the monitor connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO  
OUTPUT jacks will not disappear.  
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.  
Stereo  
This mode has all the input sound output from the left and right front  
speakers. The subwoofer is also used for playback.

Listening Modes  
Orchestra  
This mode is appropriate for classical and opera music. The center  
channel is cut and the surround channels are emphasized to widen  
the stereo image. It will simulate the natural reverberation that is  
created in large halls.  
Unplugged  
This mode is suitable for acoustical instrumental sounds, vocals, and  
jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it will simulate  
the acoustics that you would experience in front of the stage.  
Studio-Mix  
This mode is for rock and popular music. The lively sounds are  
enhanced for a powerful acoustic image that simulates the feeling of  
being in a club or rock concert.  
TV Logic  
This mode gives realistic acoustics to TV programs that are aired  
from TV studios. It enhances the entire surround sound and clarity of  
the conversation.  
All Ch Stereo  
This mode is designed for playing background music. The front,  
surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that  
encompasses the entire area.

Input Setup  
a. Digital Input  
Notes on DTS:  
This setting tells the DTR-6.3/5.3 which input source button on the  
front panel is connected with which digital input jack on the rear  
panel.  
If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when the PCMsetting  
is selected on the DTR-6.3/5.3, the DTS encoded signal will not  
be decoded and noise will be output. This noise could damage  
the amplifier and speakers. Therefore, be sure to select Allor  
DTSand use the digital input jacks (OPT or COAX) to  
connect the DTS source.  
For example, if the input source selected at the front panel is CD and  
the compact disc player is connected to DIGITAL INPUT  
OPTICAL 2, then select OPT2here. If the input source selected is  
not connected to a digital input, then select ----.”  
If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when Allis selected,  
you may hear a noise for a short while until the DTS decoder  
recognizes the DTS-encoded signal and starts operating. This is  
not a malfunction.  
OPT1, 2: Select if the input source is connected to either of the  
DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL 1 or 2 jack.  
COAX: Select if the input source is connected to the DIGITAL  
INPUT COAXIAL jack.  
If you press the pause or skip button on the player while playing  
a DTS source, a short noise may be heard. This is not a  
malfunction. In such cases, try playing the source in the DTS”  
selected.  
– – – –: Select if the input source is not from a digital input jack.  
The default settings are given below.

The DTS indicator on the DTR-6.3/5.3 lights while a DTS  
source is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal  
transmission stops, the DTR-6.3/5.3 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.

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-6.3/5.3 digitally. This is because the digital  
signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling  
frequency, or frequency response) and the DTR-6.3/5.3 cannot  
recognize the signal as DTS data. Therefore you may hear noise  
when you play a DTS source while processing the signal.

Notes:  
This item will not appear if the selected input source button is  
Tuner.  
Since VIDEO 4 is fixed to the optical digital terminal on the  
front panel, this item will not appear if VIDEO 4 is selected.  
The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, and TAPE  
OUT output analog audio signals. Do not record from CDs or  
LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-  
encoded signal will be recorded as noise.

This setting allows you to adjust for the volume differences between  
your various input source components.  
This menu allows you to make the required settings to turn on the  
output from the 12V TRIGGER terminal to control another  
component or device with the DTR-6.3/5.3 for each input source.  
When switching input sources, you may find that the output level for  
different components or input sources connected to the DTR-6.3/5.3  
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-6.3/5.3 adjusts the volume accordingly and the  
volume stays the same. If the volume is quieter than that of other  
sources, increase it with the cursor button, and if it is louder than  
that of other sources, decrease it with the cursor button.  
On: Select to activate the device connected to the 12V TRIGGER A  
terminal when the input source is selected.  
Off: Select when no device is connected to the 12V TRIGGER A  
terminal or you do not want the connected device to activate.  
j. Trigger B  
On: Select to activate the device connected to the 12V TRIGGER B  
terminal when the input source is selected.  
Off: Select when no device is connected to the 12V TRIGGER B  
terminal or you do not want the connected device to activate.  
The Intelli Volume can be adjusted between 12 and +12 decibels.  
f. Analog/PCM Source  
This sets the listening mode for analog or PCM sources.  
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.

If “No” is selected for the “Subwoofer” setting in the “Speaker  
Config” menu, this setting will not appear.  
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.

Center Image  
Pro Logic II Music Center Width (Center Width)  
DTS Neo:6 derives a center channel from two-channel PCM and  
analog sources.  
In Pro Logic II decoding, center signals are output from the center  
speaker. When the center speaker is not used, the decoder will divide  
the center signal equally to both the front left and right speakers to  
create a “phantom” center sound image.  
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.  
The Pro Logic II Music Center Width mode allows you to adjust  
from where the center sound image is heard. Using this, you can  
have the soundfield be heard from the center speaker only, from the  
front left and right speakers only (as a phantom center sound image),  
or from all three speakers (center, front left and right) in various  
level combinations. For home use, applying some width to the center  
signal will improve the level balance for the center and main  
speakers, and effect the width of the center sound image, or “weight”  
of the sound. Many sound recordings processed for stereo playback  
will be reproduced better by proper control of this setting. The  
recommended setting for Pro Logic II Music mode is “3.” This  
allows you to easily distinguish the Pro Logic II Music mode from  
the Pro Logic II Movie mode whose setting is automatically set to  
“0.”  
Center Image is the factor controlling the amount of subtraction. It  
varies between 0 and 5 in steps of 1 and the default value is 3.  
When Center Image=5, the factor is zero and nothing is subtracted  
from the left and right channels. When Center Image=0, the center  
channel is subtracted from the left and right channels at half level  
(–6 dB) for each channel. The signal level sent to the center channel  
output is not affected by Center Image.  
This control should be set based on room layout and personal  
preferences. A setting of 5 allows the left and right channels to pass  
through unaltered from the stereo mix. A setting of 0 gives more  
center channel dominance, which is particularly desirable if listeners  
are located well off-center. At any setting, the center speaker anchors  
the image.  
Center Width is only enabled when the listening mode is Dolby Pro  
Logic II Music.  
Front Effect (DTR-6.3 only)  
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 “Low” 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.  
Center Image is only enabled when the listening mode is DTS Neo:6  
Music.  
Pro Logic II Music Panorama (Panorama)  
Use this setting to extend the front stereo image to include the  
surround speakers for an exciting wraparound effect with side wall  
imaging.  
Front Effect is only enabled when the listening mode is Orchestra,  
Unplugged, Studio Mix, or TV Logic.  
On: Select to turn on the PL II Music Panorama mode.  
Off: Select to turn off the PL II Music Panorama mode.  
Surround Effect (DTR-6.3 only)  
Panorama is only enabled when the listening mode is Dolby Pro  
Logic II Music.  
You can choose from “Low,” “Middle,” or “High.”  
This adjusts the reflected and residual noises from the surround left  
and right speakers and surround back speaker.  
Surround Effect is only enabled when the listening mode is  
Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio Mix, or TV Logic.  
Pro Logic II Music Dimension (Dimension)  
Use this setting to gradually adjust the soundfield forward or  
backward. The setting of “3” is the normal position. Change the  
setting to “2” or lower to move the sound space forward setting to  
“4” or higher to move the sound space backward.  
If the stereo recording has excessive broadness or too strong  
surroundness, move the sound space forward to get the appropriate  
sound balance. In contrast, if the stereo recording is somewhat felt  
like monaural or has narrowness, move the sound space backward to  
get more surroundness.  
Dimension is only enabled when the listening mode is Dolby Pro  
Logic II Music.

Entering a pre-programming code  
The remote controller has three learning functions. One is entering  
Learning a pre-programming code  
the pre-programmed code for a remote controller of another  
manufacturer. Another is the normal learning function that enables  
the remote controller to learn the codes directly from other remote  
controllers (see page 69). And the last is a macro learning function  
that enables you to program a series of operations into the remote  
controller so that the operations can all be performed at once by  
pressing one button (see page 72).  
By entering a pre-programming code, you can have the RC-481M  
remote controller operate a component made by another  
manufacturer. The buttons that are used for operation are given on  
the next page.  
1. Find the 3-digit number listed for the manufacturer  
name of the component that you want to operate in the  
table on the next page.  
2. Turn on the component that you want to operate (i.e.  
DVD, satellite tuner, or television).  
Send/Learn  
indicator  
3. While holding down the Mode button on the RC-481M  
that you want to program, press the Display button,  
and then release both buttons.  
Buttons that  
can be pre-  
programmed  
The Send/Learn indicator lights when the Mode button is  
pressed and turns off when the Display button is pressed. When  
the indicator turns off, release both buttons. The Send/Learn  
indicator lights again.  
VOL  
4. Within 30 seconds, enter the 3-digit code number.  
The Send/Learn indicator slowly flashes twice. If the Send/  
Learn indicator quickly flashes three times, then either a  
mistaken 3-digit code was entered or an incorrect operation was  
performed. If this occurs, return to step 3.  
5. Press the button that you programmed and check if  
the system operates correctly.  
If the component does not operate properly, return to step 3  
and repeat the steps above.  
If it still does not operate properly, program the command  
directly from the other remote controller normally (see page  
69).

controller at the remote control sensor on the DTR-6.3/5.3. You do  
not need to enter this code because it is factory preset. However, if  
the code has been changed to 601 or 613, then you will need to  
change it back to 600.

Mode button you want the commands to be linked. In general, you  
will select the Mode button that corresponds to the component you  
are programming. For example, if you are programming the  
functions from a remote controller for a compact disc player, you  
would choose the CD Mode button. Then, by pressing the CD Mode  
button, the buttons on the RC-481M remote controller will change to  
the commands you program here to operate the compact disc player.  
After programming which Mode button to use, you will then transfer  
the separate commands from the other remote controller over to the  
RC-481M remote controller one at a time. Each command is then  
programmed to a different button on the RC-481M remote  
controller. Any button is programmable for this step except for the  
six Mode buttons (RCVR, CD, DVD, MD, TV, and VCR), the two  
Macro buttons (Macro 1 and 2), and the Light button.

Even after the commands have been memorized, keep your old  
remote controller in a safe place. If for some reason the commands  
are lost (e.g., when the batteries run down), it will be necessary to  
memorize them once again.  
1. Place the remote controller and the remote controller  
for the other device facing each other at a distance of 2  
to 6 inches (5 to 15 cm) apart.  
2. While pressing and holding down the desired Mode  
button on the remote controller, press the Enter  
button and then release both buttons.

Programming the commands of remote controllers for other devices into the remote  
controller  
4. Press and hold down the button (that corresponds to  
the command you are programming) on the remote  
controller of the other device until the Send/Learn  
indicator on the remote controller flashes twice.  
After flashing twice, the Send/Learn indicator will light again.  
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to transfer all the commands you  
desire from the other remote controller and program  
them to buttons on the remote controller under the  
same Mode.  
Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to program commands to a different  
Mode (e.g., when programming from a different remote  
controller).  
6. Press the Mode button that you pressed in step 2 to  
complete the programming.  
7. Operate the newly programmed buttons to make sure  
the learning function was performed properly.  
Notes:  
The remote controller codes for Integra/Onkyo compact disc  
players, cassette tape decks, DVD players, and mini disc  
recorder have already been programmed into buttons on the  
remote controller. You may, however, use these buttons to  
program the codes for other remote controllers. If you wish to  
restore the Integra/Onkyo preset codes after you program new  
codes, you must first erase the new codes (see page 73).  
The remote controller has 318 memory slots (6 modes × 53  
buttons). Some remote controllers may have more commands  
that can be remembered by the remote controller. In such cases,  
it will be necessary for you to determine which commands are  
more important than others.  
If the Send/Learn indicator quickly flashes three times and turns  
off, then the remote controller has exited the programming mode  
because either you have made a mistake during programming or  
a time-out has occurred because no button has been pressed.  
Resume from Step 2.  
If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the remote  
controller, the Send/Learn indicator flashes six times quickly,  
and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Try  
programming under a different Mode button.  
When you want to program a command to a button to which you  
have already programmed a command, simply follow the same  
procedure given and the previous programming for that button  
will be overwritten.  
The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its commands,  
as do most other remote controllers. Though most remote  
controller codes can be memorized by the remote controller, be  
aware that some remote controllers use systems that are quite  
different from the remote controller and therefore may not be  
able to be programmed.  
Some remote controllers have a single button that performs  
multiple functions (for example, the function may change each  
time the button is pressed). If this is the case, each function must  
be programmed to a separate button on the remote controller.  
Once you have transferred the commands from the other remote  
controller, refer to the instruction manual that came with that  
product for instructions on how to operate that product.  
Make sure both the remote controller and the other remote  
controller have new batteries. If either of them has batteries that  
are low, you may not be able to program the commands of the  
other remote controller properly into the remote controller.  
See page 73 for how to erase the memorized commands from all  
buttons.

Using the macro function  
Programming the macro  
What is the macro function?  
A macro function enables you to program a series of button  
operations (up to 16) on the remote controller into a single button.  
The series of operations are then called a macro. For example, to  
play a compact disc player connected to the DTR-6.3/5.3 normally,  
you must perform the following steps:  
With the macro function, you can program a series of button  
operations as a macro into the Macro button so the macro can be  
executed with just one touch. Note that for the macro function, only  
one macro can be programmed. For example, to program the macro  
described above on this page for the Macro button, perform the steps  
given below.  
1. Press the RCVR Mode button.  
2. Press the On button.  
1. Press and hold down any one of the six Mode buttons,  
press the Macro 1 (or 2) button, and then release both  
buttons.  
3. Press the CD (Input Selector) button.  
4. Press the CD Mode button.  
5. Press the playback ( ) button.  
When you press the Mode button, it lights green and the Send/  
Learn indicator lights. When you press the Macro 1 (or 2) button,  
the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the  
indicator flashes briefly and then lights again.  
2. Press the operation buttons you wish to program in  
order (in this case, press RCVR Mode On CD  
(Input Selector) CD Mode playback ( ) button).  
By using the macro function, you can perform the above five  
operations by only pressing one button.  
When you press each button, the Send/Learn indicator turns off.  
When you release the button, the indicator lights.  
3. Press the Macro 1 (or 2) button to complete the

because either you have made a mistake during programming or  
a time-out has occurred because no button has been pressed.  
Resume from Step 1.

Executing the macro  
(Input Selector)  
Perform the procedure below to execute the macro that you have  
programmed into the remote controller. After programming the  
macro, you should always run it at least once to make sure that it has  
been programmed properly.  
Point the remote controller at the DTR-6.3/5.3 and press  
the Macro 1 (or 2) button.  
It may take a while for the macro to finish transmitting, so be sure to  
continue pointing the remote controller at the device until the Send/  
Learn indicator turns off.  
Tips:  
If you erase or change the command of a button programmed in  
the macro, that operation of that button will no longer work in  
the macro. In this case, it will be necessary for you to reprogram  
the macro in order to avoid incorrect operation.  
The codes programmed into the macro will be transmitted at an  
interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some devices may not be able  
to complete one operation in 0.5 seconds and may miss the next  
code. In this case, after pressing one operation button, you can  
press the same Mode button again before pressing the next  
operation button to add another 0.5 seconds between the two  
operations.

out has occurred because no button has been pressed. Resume  
from Step 1.  
If you press a button other than Macro 1 (or 2) button in Step 2,  
then you will in effect be overwriting the previous macro with a
