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

Before Using the DTR-7.4
Installing the Batteries
Using the Remote Controller
To use the remote controller, point it at the DTR-7.4’s
remote control sensor, as shown below. The DTR-7.4’s
Standby indicator flashes while a signal is being
received from the remote controller.
To open the battery compartment, press
the small hollow and slide off the cover.

Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the
DTR-7.4 is subjected to bright light, such as direct
sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this
in mind when installing the DTR-7.4.
Put the cover onto the remote controller
and slide it shut.
3
• If another remote controller of the same type is used
in the same room, or the DTR-7.4 is installed close to
equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote control-
ler may not work reliably.
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote
controller, because the buttons may be pressed inad-
vertently, thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the
DTR-7.4 is installed in a rack behind colored glass
doors. Keep this in mind when installing the
DTR-7.4.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an
obstacle between it and the DTR-7.4’s remote control
sensor.
Notes:
• The supplied batteries should last for about six
months, although this will vary with usage.
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try
replacing both batteries.
• Don’t mix new and old batteries, or different types of
batteries.
• 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 exam-
ple, the DTR-7.4 is installed in a rack or is not in line
of sight of the remote controller.
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a
long time, remove the batteries to prevent possible
leakage and corrosion.
• Dead batteries should be removed as soon as possible
to prevent possible leakage and corrosion.

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.
•
•
•
•
Outdoor antennas should be located away from possible
noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
For safety reasons, outdoor antennas should be situated well
away from power lines and other high-voltage equipment.
Outdoor antennas must be grounded in accordance with local
regulations to prevent electric shock hazards.

Make sure the shielding is not touching the cen-
tral conductor.
Refit the adapter’s cover, and then plug
the adapter into the 75 Ω socket.

Using the 75/300 ohm Antenna Adapter
(Australian model only)
Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
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.
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circum-
stances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown.
Connecting 300 ohm Flat Cable
Using a screwdriver, loosen

About HomeTheater
Enjoying Home Theater
The DTR-7.4 has many excellent features to recreate a clear three-dimensional sound image and lively sound movement.
This enables you to easily enjoy rich sound effects just like you were in a theater or concert hall at home.
For the DTR-7.4, We recommend you to use the THX-certified THX speaker system for THX Surround EX playback.
When playing a DVD, you can enjoy sound effects provided by DTS, Dolby Digital or THX, depending on recording
formats. In addition, you can enjoy Integra’s proprietary DSP surround playback for TV or digital satellite broadcasts.
How to use speakers
When you have two speakers, they are used for front left and right speakers (2 channel playback).
When you have three speakers, they are used for front left, front right and center speakers (3 channel surround
playback).
When you have four speakers, they are used for front left, front right, surround left, and surround right speakers (4
channel surround playback).
When you have five speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right
speakers (5 channel surround playback).
When you have six speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right and
surround back speakers (6 channel surround playback).
When you have seven speakers, they are used for front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right,
surround back left, and surround back right speakers (7 channel surround playback).
No matter how many speakers you use, a subwoofer can be used to produce powerful and heavy bass sound (0.1
channel playback).
Front left and right speakers
Output overall sound. They play the most important role in a home theater system, by creating basic sound
images and fields.
Place the front speakers in front of the listener so that they point to the listener’s ears in the listening position
for music and movies. Ideal speaker placement is so that they are located symmetrically.
Center speaker
Complements the sound effects from
front left and right speakers to enrich
and clear the sound image and move-
ment. In movies, an actor's speech
comes mainly from the center
speaker.
Place the center speaker as close as
possible to the TV or monitor, point-
ing it towards the listener’s ears.
Also, keep the center speaker’s
height at the same level as the front
left and right speakers.
Surround back speakers
Enhance the sound space repre-
sentation with surround channel
signals. Recreating sound
movement effects and sound
fields behind the listener gives a
more realistic experience.
Subwoofer
Outputs only bass sounds to
enhance and complement bass
sound effects. Place the sub-
woofer either at the front corner
of the room or at a position 1/3
from either front corner of the
room.
Surround left and right speakers
Enhance the sensation of being at a live performance by giving three-dimensional
sound movement to the sound effects. Place the surround speakers at the side of
the listener or at a position diagonally from the listener. Ideally, speakers should
be placed symmetrically.
• For optimum surround playback, set the distance between the listener and the speakers so that the time it takes the
sound to reach the listener is constant.Also, you need to set each speaker volume level individually in order to balance
the volume level between speakers (See pages 32 and 35).

Speaker Placement
Before connecting the speakers, it is very important to
place them properly to create the optimum sound space
for your listening pleasure. During placement and
connection, be sure to refer to the manuals and
instructions that came with the speakers. Furthermore,
be aware that for surround playback, the configuration
and placement of your speakers are both very important.
Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of
your room and the wall coverings. Here, only typical
examples of speaker placement and recommendations
are shown.
In order to create the optimum conditions for the best
sound quality, be sure to place all the speakers so that the
greatest difference between the distances of each
speaker to the listening position is less than 20 feet (6
meters).
Surround back speakers
• Place these speakers so that
their height is 3 feet (1 meter)
higher than that of the listener’s
ears.
10
• When using surround back left
and right speakers, place them
behind the listener so that the
angles between the lines from
each speaker to the listener and
a line straight back from the
listener are about 30 degrees.

When bass sound is reproduced, its volume and quality
greatly depend on subwoofer placement. Those
characteristics also depend on the shape of your listening
room as well as your listening point. Generally, good
bass sound is obtained when the subwoofer is placed in
the corner of the room or at a point 1/3 the length of the
room.

Most dipoles are marked with an arrow to indicate how
they should be oriented in the room. For correct
acoustical phasing in the room, dipolar surround
speakers should be placed so that their arrows point
forward toward the screen; and dipolar surround back
speakers should be placed so that their arrows point
toward each other.
Corner

To optimize the subwoofer placement, we
recommend:
• Playing a movie or music source containing good
quality bass sound,
• Experimenting while changing subwoofer’s position
in the room, and
• Repositioning the subwoofer until you obtain the most
out of the bass sound while fixing the listening point.

Connecting Speakers
After determining the layout of your speaker system, it
is now necessary to connect the speakers correctly to
your DTR-7.4.
• Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one
speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the DTR-7.4.
• Connect either your surround back speakers or the
speakers you will be using in the remote zone (Zone
2) to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS
terminals (See page 66).
You can also use banana plugs/connectors.
Caution:
Connect only speakers with an impedance between 4 and
16 Ω to the DTR-7.4. If the impedance of even one
speaker is between 4 and 6 Ω, be sure to set the speaker
impedance setting accordingly (See page 30).
Using the Speaker Cable Labels
The positive speaker terminals on the DTR-7.4 are color
coded for easy identification. Attach the supplied
speaker labels to the speaker cables, and then match the
colors on the speaker cables to the corresponding
terminals.
Notes:
• 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.

• To prevent damage to circuitry,
never short-circuit the positive (+)
and negative (–) speaker wire.
• 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.
The speaker channels are colored as follows:
Front left speaker (+): White

AV Cables and Connectors
• Always refer to the instructions that came with the
component that you are connecting.
• Do not plug in the power cord until all connections
have been properly made.
• Insert all plugs and connectors securely. Improper
connections can result in noise, poor performance,
or damage to the equipment.
Improper connection
• For input jacks, red connectors (marked R) are
used for the right channel, white connectors
(marked L) are used for the left channel, and
yellow connectors (marked V) are used for video
connection.
• The optical digital jacks are all of shutter-type
construction. Connect an optical cable by first
making sure the cable is oriented correctly and
then inserting it into the jack by pushing the
shutter lid inwards.

Connecting to Audio/Video Equipment
Here is an explanation of typical ways to connect various
components to the DTR-7.4. There are many ways that
any one component can be connected, and it is up to you
to decide which method best fits your situation. The
directions given here are only one option and should
only be thought of as such. It is best to fully understand
the nature of each connector and terminal as well as
those of your components and their features to ascertain
which method of connection is best.
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT
For DVD players or other devices that have component
video connectors, the DTR-7.4 has two banks of
component video input connectors (Y, PB, PR) for direct
component video input. The DTR-7.4 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 details.
VIDEO IN/OUT
These are the video inputs and outputs. On the rear
panel, there are five video inputs and two video outputs
and each one includes both composite video and S video
configurations.
Connect VCRs, VTRs, LD players, DVD players, and
other video components to the video inputs. Connect
VCRs, VTRs, and other recording components to the
video outputs to make video recordings.
• 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 5 inputs are located on the front panel.
The flow of the video signals is as follows:
recorders, CD recorders, DAT decks, or other similar
components.
• 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.
Connecting a Television Monitor or
Projector (MONITOR OUT)
The DTR-7.4 is equipped with a simple Y/C separate
circuit and simple Y/C mixed circuit. Since both the
signals from the S VIDEO and VIDEO inputs are output
to the MONITOR OUT S VIDEO output, if the
television or projector is equipped with an S video input,
it is unnecessary to connect the video connectors. If it is
equipped with only a video input, connect it to the
MONITOR OUT VIDEO output.
Using an RCA video connection cable, connect the
video input jack (composite) of the device to the MON-
ITOR OUT VIDEO jack of the DTR-7.4. Or if the
device has an S video input jack, connect it to the
MONITOR OUT S VIDEO jack of the DTR-7.4 using
an S video connection cable. Or if the device has com-
ponent video inputs, connect them to the bank of COM-
PONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on the DTR-7.4.
When you use the connections described above, video
signals that come in from S VIDEO and VIDEO IN are
output to the TV, projector, etc.

Press the On button to turn on the
DTR-7.4.
To set the DTR-7.4 to Standby, press the

Plug the supplied power cord into this AC INLET.
• Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied
with the DTR-7.4. The power cord supplied is
designed for use with the DTR-7.4 and should not be
used with any other device.
• Never have the power cord disconnected from the
DTR-7.4 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 dis-
connect by unplugging from the wall outlet first.
Memory backup
The DTR-7.4 uses a battery-less memory backup sys-
tem in order to retain radio presets and other settings
when it is unplugged or in the case of a power failure.
Although no batteries are required, the DTR-7.4 must
be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the
backup system.
Once it has been charged, the DTR-7.4 will retain the
settings for several weeks, although this depends on the
environment and time will be shorter in humid climates.

Setup Menu
When making the various settings required to configure your DTR-7.4 for optimum performance, you can either use the
OSD Menu that appears on your television monitor or you can use the display on the front of the DTR-7.4. The OSD
Menu is a settings menu that is displayed on your TV monitor. For your reference when performing the setting proce-
dures, this manual shows both the OSD Menu displayed on your television monitor and the display on the front of the
DTR-7.4.
The Setup Menu consists of the Basic Menu that is divided up into 4 menus, the Hardware Setup Menu, the Speaker
Setup Menu, the Input Setup Menu, and the Audio Adjust Menu, and the Advanced Menu that contains the menus of
the Basic Menu, the Preference Menu, and the Network Setup Menu. These menus are then divided up into various sub-
menus, and these contain settings for you to optimize your home theater as you wish.
The display shown below is an example. The actual contents of your display may differ depending on the model of your
region and the selected input source.

signals are output from the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE
OUT and SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER terminals.
Connect the surround back speakers to the SURR
BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER terminals or to the speakers
terminals of the power amplifier connected to the SURR
BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT terminals.
This section explains how to change the DTR-7.4’s
remote control ID.You may need to change this if the
DTR-7.4’s remote controller interferes with other
Integra/Onkyo components located in the same room.
Note:
If you change the DTR-7.4’s remote control ID, be
sure to select the same ID on the remote controller
(See the next section). The default ID for both the
DTR-7.4 and remote controller is 1.
When you are not using the surround back speakers in the
main room and are using the internal amplifier to power the
speakers for the remote zone (Zone 2), set the Surr Back/
Zone 2 setting to are “Zone 2.” When set to “Zone 2,” the
Zone 2 signals are output from the SURR BACK/ZONE 2
PRE OUT and SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER
terminals. Connect the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers to
the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER terminals or to the
speaker terminals of the power amplifier connected to the
SURR BACK/ZONE 2 PRE OUT terminals.

playback mode, and therefore you cannot select the THX
Surround EX, Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES, which
requires the surround back speakers.

output even though “Auto” is selected with the Audio
Selector button.

Notes on DTS:
• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when the
“PCM” setting is selected on the DTR-7.4, 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 “All” or “DTS”
and use the digital input jacks (OPTICAL or COAX-
IAL) to connect the DTS source.
• If you play a DTS-formatted CD or LD when “All” is
selected, you may hear a noise for a short while until
the DTS decoder recognizes the DTS-encoded signal
and starts operating. This is not a malfunction.
• 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 with the “DTS” selected.
• The DTS indicator on the DTR-7.4 lights while a
DTS source is played. When playback finishes and
the DTS signal transmission stops, the DTR-7.4
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 play-
back of the source on the player for about three sec-
onds 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-7.4 digitally. This
is because the digital signal has been processed (such
as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency
response) and the DTR-7.4 cannot recognize the sig-
nal as DTS data. Therefore you may hear noise when
you play a DTS source while processing the signal.
• The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT,
TAPE OUT, and ZONE 2 OUT output analog audio
signals. Do not record from CDs or LDs that support
DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded
signal will be recorded as noise.

a. Digital Input
This setting tells the DTR-7.4 which input source button
on the front panel is connected with which digital input
jack on the rear panel.
For example, if the input source selected at the front
panel is CD and the compact disc player is connected to
DIGITAL IN OPT 1, then select “OPT1” here. If the
input source selected is not connected to a digital input,
then select “----.”
OPT1-3: Select if the input source is connected to
any of the DIGITAL IN OPT jacks 1 through 3.
COAX1-3: Select if the input source is connected to
any of the DIGITAL IN COAX jacks 1 through 3.
----: Select if the input source is not from a digital
input jack.
b. Digital Format
Sets the digital signal to type given priority during sig-
nal detection at the selected digital terminal.
The default setting is “All.” If “----” is selected for this
input source at the Digital Input setting, then this setting
cannot be selected. Although you can use this default
setting as is, you may change it as desired depending on
the input signal format or if you know that you will
always be listening to a certain input signal format from
a particular input source.
All: The digital signal suitable for the input signal
will be preceded for playback. When there is no dig-
ital signal input, analog signal will be played.
DTS: Select this if you play DTS-formatted CD in
“All” mode and hear noise during fast-forward or
rewind operation. Non-DTS sound input will not be
output.
PCM: Select this if you hear sound gap between
PCM tracks such as ones on CD in “All” mode. Non-
PCM sound input will not be output.
Notes:
• When you play DTS-formatted CD or LD, be sure to
select “All” or “DTS.” If you select “PCM,” noise will
be heard.

Dialogue Normalization (Dialog Norm) is a feature of
Dolby Digital. When playing back software that has
been encoded in Dolby Digital, sometimes you may see
a brief message in the front panel display that reads Dia-
log Norm xdB (“x” being a numeric value). Dialogue
Normalization serves to let you know if the source
material has been recorded at a higher or lower level
than usual. For example, if you see the message “Dialog
Norm: +4” in the front panel display, to keep the overall
output level constant just turn down the volume control
by 4 dB. In other words, the source material that you
are listening to has been recorded 4 dB louder than
usual. If you do not see a message, then no adjustment
of the volume control is necessary.

Audio SEL
Note:
This procedure can also be performed by
using the DTR-7.4’s input source buttons
and Audio Selector button.
Auto (automatic detection): With this setting, the
DTR-7.4 automatically detects whether the input signal
is digital or analog. When a digital signal is not input,
then the analog signal is played. This setting only
appears if a digital input is selected for the Digital Input
setting at Setup Menu → Input Setup Menu → Digital
Setup Sub-menu (See pages 36-37).
Multich (Multichannel): Select this setting to play back
the input from the component connected to the MULTI
CH INPUT port. This setting only appears if “Yes” is
selected for the Multichannel setting at Setup Menu →
Input Setup Menu → Multichannel Setup Sub-menu
(See pages 38).
Analog: Select this setting to play back the input from a
source component connected to analog audio input
jacks. With this setting, even if a digital signal is input
from the same component, only the analog signal will be
output.
Adjusting the bass and treble
You can adjust the bass and treble levels at the Setup
Menu →AudioAdjust Menu → Tone Control Sub-menu
(See page 54). The treble level affects the front left and
right speakers and the center speaker. The bass level
affects the front left and right speakers, the center
speaker, and the subwoofer. For multichannel sources,
these dials will not work if the tone control is set to
“Direct” or “Pure Audio.”

Using the Listening Modes
The DTR-7.4’s surround sound enables you to enjoy
movie theater or concert hall quality sound in your
home.
The configuration of the speakers is very important for
the surround sound effect. Refer to “About Home
Theater” on page 16.
Before selecting a listening mode, be sure to complete
the Speaker Setup (See page 32). Once the parameters
have been set, it is not necessary to set them again. See
pages 44-45 for information regarding how to select the
listening mode.
Dolby Pro Logic II
As opposed to Dolby Pro Logic, which had four chan-
nels (front left/right, center, and surround) recorded into
two channels with matrix processing and then played
back in four channels, Dolby Pro Logic II uses a feed-
back logic circuit to have 5.1 channel surround audio
(Dolby Surround, etc.) matrix-encoded into two chan-
nels 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 fre-
quency range, now provide complete stereo output over
the full frequency range. The result is movie viewing
with a realistic feel of movement. This mode can be used
withVHS and DVD videos with the
Listening Modes
Mono
This mode is for playing old movies where the sound is
recorded in monaural or for playing the left and right
channels separately for movies that contain different lan-
guage signals. This mode also allows you to listen to the
multiplexed soundtracks on DVDs and other media that
have them.
mark and certain television programs.
The Music Mode uses the surround channels to provide
a natural soundfield that cannot be provided with normal
stereo output. This mode can be used with music com-
pact discs and other stereo sources.
Pure Audio
The 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 (resulting in a
blacked-out screen), and minimizes the sources of noise.
The result is high-fidelity music playback true to the
original source.
Dolby D (Dolby Digital)
This mode is used for playing Dolby Digital sources.
Dolby Digital is compressed digital data with a maxi-
mum of 5.1 channel surround sound. This source signal
Direct
comes from DVDs and LDs that have the
and therefore are recorded for 5.1 channel output.
• Dolby Digital EX
mark
This mode delivers pure sound with minimal sound qual-
ity 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.
Enabled when playing back sources with surround tracks
that were encoded using the Surround EX technology.
Stereo
DTS Neo:6
All input sound is output from the left and right front
speakers.
The subwoofer is also used for playback.
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 have 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 listen-
ing to music.
The Cinema Mode is good for movies. The reproduced
surround sound provide the same realistic feel of move-
ment as 6.1 channel sources. This mode can be used with
VHS and television programs with stereo sound.
The Music Mode uses the surround channels to provide
a natural sound space that cannot be provided with nor-
mal stereo output. This mode can be used with music
CDs and other stereo sources.
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)
For the best enjoyment of your home theater, it is recom-
mended that you have front left and right speakers, a cen-
ter speaker, and surround left and right speakers.
However, if you only have front left and right speakers,
you can enjoy multichannel audio by using this mode.
This mode controls the characteristics of the sound that
reaches each ear to reproduce a multi-speaker setup. To
receive the full effect, there is an optimum listening posi-
tion (sweet spot). Refer to the explanation of the listen-
ing angle. In addition, if the reflective sound components
are large, it may be difficult to achieve the desired result,
so be sure to set up your system and listening position to
minimize reflective sound.
DTS
This mode is used for playing 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.

Using the Listening Modes—Continued
• DTS-ES Discrete
When released to the home consumer market, mov-
ies that were created using the Dolby Digital Sur-
round EX technology, may have a note to that effect
on the packaging. A list of movies created using this
technology can be found on the Dolby web site at
http://www.dolby.com.
The DTR-7.4 can play the 5.1 channel sources in
THX surround EX mode, even if the source is not
encoded in Dolby Digital Surround EX format. In
this case, the sound actually output from the sur-
round back channels depends on the source and may
not fit your tastes.
With the addition of the surround back channel, this
new format has all 6.1 channels recorded indepen-
dently for a completely discrete digital format. Since
all channels are recorded independently, high-fidel-
ity surround playback with an increased feeling of a
separated sound space is achieved.
• DTS-ES Matrix
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.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) modes
• DTS 96/24
Mono Movie
Automatically changes to this mode when playing
back sources with surround tracks that were encoded
using the DTS 96/24 technology.
This mode is suitable for playing back monaural record-
ing such as old movie soundtracks. The center channel
delivers the unprocessed original sound, whereas the
other channels deliver the center-channel sound pro-
cessed with the appropriate reverberation. This allows
you to enjoy monaural sound with the atmosphere of a
movie theater.
THX
THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies
established by the world-renowned film production com-
pany, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas’
personal desire to make your experience of the film
soundtrack, in both movie theaters and in your home the-
ater, as faithful as possible to what the director intended.
Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theaters
called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back
in movie theaters with similar equipment and conditions.
This same soundtrack is then transferred directly onto
LD, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for play-
back in a small home theater environment.
THX engineers developed patented technologies to
translate accurately the sound from the movie theater
environment into the home, correcting the tonal and spa-
tial errors that occur. On this product, when the THX
indicator is on, THX features are automatically added in
Cinema Modes (e.g. THX Cinema, THX Surround EX).
• THX Cinema
Enhance
This mode reproduces a natural surround environment
by using seven speaker channels. The sound effects
move smoothly toward the surround back. This mode is
good for music and TV sports programs.
Orchestra
This mode is appropriate for classical and opera music.
The center channel is cut and the surround channels are
emphasized to widen the stereo image. It will simulate
the natural reverberation that is created in large halls.
Unplugged
This mode is suitable for acoustical instrumental sounds,
vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo
image, it will simulate the acoustics that you would
experience in front of the stage.
Studio-Mix
This is the conventional 5.1 channel THX format.
This mode should be used only when playing back
sources that were mixed for playback in large movie
theater environments.
This mode is for rock and popular music. The lively
sounds are enhanced for a powerful acoustic image that
simulates the feeling of being at a club or rock concert.
TV Logic
• THX Surround EX
This mode gives realistic acoustics to TV programs that
are aired from TV studios. It enhances the entire sur-
round sound and clarity of the conversation.
“THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX”
is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the
THX division of THX Ltd.
All Ch Stereo
In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been
encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technol-
ogy are able to reproduce an extra channel which has
been added during the mixing of the program. This
channel, called Surround Back, places sounds
behind the listener in addition to the currently avail-
able front left, front center, front right, surround
right, surround left, and subwoofer channels.
This additional channel provides the opportunity for
more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings
more depth, spacious ambience, and sound localiza-
tion than ever before.
This mode is designed for playing background music.
The front, surround, and surround back channels create
a stereo image that encompasses the entire area.

Quit:[SETUP]
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 higher volumes. When this setting is set
to “High” or “Low,” the dynamic range of the sound is nar-
rowed down to allow you to hear easily minute sounds at
low volumes. This function is especially useful if you wish
to play a movie at a low volume during the nighttime.
This can be set to either “Off” or “Low,” or “High.”
On the remote controller, press the scroll wheel, and then
press the L Night button repeatedly.
However, when the DTR-7.4 enters the standby state,
this setting returns to the default setting (“Off”).
Notes:
• The Late Night function is effective only on Dolby
Digital encoded software.
a. Re-EQ
Re-EQ (re-equalization) takes the edginess or “brightness”
out of your home cinema sound to compensate for the fact
that sound mixed for theaters may sound too bright when
played back through speakers in the home environment.
This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”
On the remote controller, press the scroll wheel, and then
press the Re-EQ button.
b. Upsampling
Upsampling processes the input digital signal, or the dig-
ital signal converted from an analog input source, and
converts its digital sampling frequency to twice its cur-
rent frequency for an even further detailed sound repro-
duction. This can be set to either “On” or “Off.” When
“On” is selected, the Upsampling indicator lights.
• The depth of the Late Night effect is determined by
Dolby Digital software. With some sources, it may
produce little or no effect.

a. A/V Sync
If a digital signal processor is connected, there may be
times when the audio and video from a DVD or LD
player is not output in perfect sync. The result is where
the sound and picture do not match and the sound is
heard too early. In such a case, use this setting to prop-
erly synchronize the audio and video. This setting can be
set between 0 and 74.0 ms in 0.5 ms increments. Under
normal circumstances, this can left at 0 ms. If the delay
time is set between 24.5 and 74.0 ms, and upsampling is
used, the delay will be fixed at 24.0 ms. Note that a
change in the setting will not be displayed.

3-6.Mono Setup
b. Center, c. Surr L/R, d. Surr Back
Besides level and delay adjustments, this setting provides
the ability to change or adjust the relative speaker position
to fine tune the soundfield for the listener. This is accom-
plished using Integra’s unique Enhanced Spatial Position-
ing Algorithm. This adjustment provides 10 milliseconds
of delay for the speakers, which is equivalent to moving
the speaker 10 feet (3 meters) away. This adjustment is set
up to provide –4.0 or +6.0 milliseconds (–4 or +6 feet/–1.2
or +1.8 meters) of adjustment to the listener’s position.
Once the coarse adjustments (i.e., speaker level and distance
adjustments) are made, the system is set up to provide a typ-
ical or broad surround environment. By adjusting the relative
position of the speakers, we are able to alter the soundfield to
be more spread out (deeper) or focused (shallower).

a. Academy Filter
Older monaural film mixes relied on high-frequency
rolloff in presentation to sound properly balanced, so
that excessive hiss from the grain structure of the film
would not be heard. The high-frequency loss was typi-
cally due to a combination of optical slit loss, electrical
filters, loudspeaker response, and screen loss. Some
films have been transferred to video without such a high-
frequency rolloff, and thus sound overly bright and hissy.
The DTR-7.4 includes this “Academy Filter,” which is
based on contemporary playback practices for such films
over wide-range systems.
Note:
Surr Back cannot be selected if the Surr Back/Zone 2

b. Center
In the Theater-Dimensional mode, if the speaker system
has a center speaker, the center channel signal can be
output from the center speaker. For instance, in systems
where the front left and right speakers are small, use of
the center speaker may provide a better sound space and
reduce the load on the front speaker. (For the proper
soundfield, it is important that the speaker levels and
speaker distances among the front right, front left, and
center speakers are matched. In order to ensure this,
make sure that the settings in the Speaker Distance Sub-
menu and Level Calibration sub-menu are set correctly.)
On: Select to have the center channel signal output
to the center speaker.
You can also easily change the Surr Mode settings using
the remote controller. While playing the analog or PCM
source, press the Surround button on the remote control-
ler. Each press of the button cyclically changes the lis-
tening modes in the order of “PLII Movie,” “PLII
Music,” “Neo:6 Cinema,” and “Neo:6 Music.”
b. Surr Mode (D.F.2ch)
Changes the surround mode for when 2 channel digital
signals are input.

PLII Music: Select when you want to enable the
Dolby Pro Logic ll Music listening mode.
Neo:6 Cinema: Select when you want to enable the
DTS Neo:6 Cinema listening mode.
c. Front Expander
The front expander function spreads out the stereo image
in front of the listener. The created stereo image is as if
the front speakers have been farther apart for the feeling
of a wide sound space. This is especially useful for nar-
row listening angles of 20 degrees or less.
On: Select to turn on the front expander function to
simulate a wider sound space.
Neo:6 Music: Select when you want to enable the
DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode.
You can also easily change the Surr Mode settings using
the remote controller. When you play 2ch digital source
other than PCM (ex., the source in Dolby Digital for-
mat), each press of the Surround button on the remote
controller cyclically changes the listening modes in the
order of “PLII Movie,” “PLII Music,” “Neo:6 Cinema,”
and “Neo:6 Music.”
Off: Select to turn off the front expander function for
a normal sound space.
d. Virtual Surr Level
This setting adjusts the level of the virtual surround sig-
nal. This can be set from –3 to +3 decibels. Lowering this
setting can improve the sound when the definition is
unclear or when the sound feels unnatural.

If you have surround back speakers connected, use this
setting to select whether or not you will use Dolby EX
playback.
g. Pro Logic II Music Center Width
Auto: When the source has an EX flag (ID signal for
Surround EX), the playback is automatically
changed to Dolby Digital EX. If the source has no
EX flag, the playback is changed to Dolby Digital.
On: The playback is set to Dolby Digital EX.
Off: The playback is set to normal Dolby Digital.
If your surround channel is monaural or you do not have
a surround channel, then the playback will be normal
Dolby Digital regardless of the above setting.
You can easily change the Dolby Digital EX mode settings
using the remote controller. While playing a Dolby Digital
source, after displaying the current listening mode with a
press of the Surround button, each press of the Surround
button on the remote controller cyclically changes the
Dolby Digital EX mode in the order of “Auto,” “On,” and
“Off.”
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.
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. The soundfield varies
between 0 and 7 in steps of 1 and the default value is 3.
For home use, applying some width to the center signal
will improve the level balance for the center and main
speakers, and will 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 set-
ting 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 automati-
cally set to “0.”
d. DTS-ES
This setting selects the DTS-ES mode.
Auto: Select to have the listening mode change auto-
matically to DTS-ES Discrete or DTS-ES Matrix
when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag (ID sig-
nal for DTS-ES). If the DTS source has no DTS-ES
flag, the mode is changed to DTS 5.1.
On: Select to have the listening mode change automati-
cally to DTS-ES Discrete or DTS-ES Matrix when the
DTS source has the DTS-ES flag, and to DTS + Neo:6
when the DTS source has no DTS-ES flag.
Off: Select to not use DTS-ES listening modes even
when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag. With this
setting, the DTS sources are always played in DTS
5.1 mode.
h. Center Image
DTS Neo:6 derives a center channel from 2 channel
PCM and analog sources.
In the cinema mode, for Lt/Rt film soundtracks, sounds
steered to the center are subtracted from the left and right
channels.
In the 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 pre-
serving the original perspective of the stereo mix. There-
fore, the derived center is never fully subtracted from the
left and right channels.
You can also easily change the DTS-ES mode settings
using the remote controller. While playing a DTS source,
after displaying the current listening mode with a press
of the Surround button, each press of the Surround but-
ton on the remote controller cyclically changes the DTS-
ES mode in the order of “Auto,” “On,” and “Off.”
Center Image is the factor controlling the amount of sub-
traction. It varies between 0 and 5 in steps of 1 and the
default value is 3.
e. Pro Logic II Music Panorama
Use this setting to extend the front stereo image to
include the surround speakers for an exciting wrap-
around effect with side wall imaging.
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.
On: Select to turn on the PL II Music Panorama mode.
Off: Select to turn off the PL II Music Panorama mode.
f. Pro Logic II Music Dimension
Use this setting to gradually adjust the soundfield for-
ward or backward. It varies between 0 and 6 in steps of
1 and the default value is 3.
The setting of “3” is the normal position. Change the set-
ting to “2” or lower to move the sound space forward and
setting to “4” or higher to move the sound space backward.
If the stereo recording has excessive broadness or a too
strong surroundness, move the sound space forward to
get the appropriate sound balance. In contrast, if the ste-
This control should be set based on room layout and per-
sonal preferences. A setting of 5 allows the left and right
channels to pass through unaltered from the stereo mix.
A setting of 0 gives more center channel dominance,
which is particularly desirable if listeners are located
well off-center. At any setting, the center speaker
anchors the image.
Center Image is only enabled when the listening mode is
DTS Neo:6 Music.

Note:
To control Zone 2 with the remote controller, you must
first press its Zone 2 button, and then press the next but-
ton within five seconds (i.e., while the DTR-7.4’s
Standby indicator is flashing).
Notes:
• If the Sleep function has been set, any Zone 2 compo-
nent will turn off along with the DTR-7.4 when the
specified sleep time expires. To use the Sleep function
with Zone 2 only, set the Sleep function and then set
the DTR-7.4 to Standby.
• Only analog input sources are output by the PRE OUT
SURR BACK/ZONE 2 outputs and the SURR BACK/
ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals. Digital input sources
are not output. If no sound is heard when an input
source is selected, check if it’s connected to analog
inputs.
• Since the Zone 2 function and the REC OUT outputs
use the same circuitry, if the Rec Out button is pressed,
Zone 2 will be turned off.
• When the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 outputs (SPEAK-
ERS/PRE OUT) are set to Zone 2 (page 67), listening
modes that need surround back speakers (i.e., Dolby
Digital EX, DTS-ES, and THX Surround EX) are not
available.

Operating Components not Reached by the Remote
Controller Signals (IR IN/OUT)
In order to use the remote controller to control the
DTR-7.4 from a remote location, you will need to pre-
pare a multi-room kit (sold separately) such as one of
those given below:
• Onkyo’s Multi-Room System kits (IR Remote
Controller Extension System)
Make the connection as shown below. Do not plug in any
equipment to the power outlet until all the connections
are complete.

RF Receivers also can be used with the remote controller
to control the DTR-7.4 from a remote location. To use
RF Receivers, set the Transmission Signal Format set-
ting to “RF.” (See page 70 for details.)

If Remote Controller Signal Does not
Reach the DTR-7.4 Remote Sensor
If Remote Controller Signal Does not
Reach Other Components
If the DTR-7.4 is located inside a cabinet or other enclosure
where the infrared rays from the remote controller cannot
enter, then operation with the remote controller will not be
possible. In such a case, it will be necessary to install a
remote sensor at a location outside of the cabinet that the
infrared rays from the controller can reach.
With this connection, select “Main” for the
Hardware Setup → Remote Setup → Position in the
Setup Menu (See page 31).
In this situation, you will need to use a commercially
available IR emitter. Connect the mini plug of the IR
emitter to the IR OUT terminal on the DTR-7.4 and then
place the IR emitter on the remote sensor of the
component or facing it. When the IR emitter is
connected, only the signal input to the IR IN terminal is
output to the IR OUT terminal. The signal input from the
remote sensor on the front of the DTR-7.4 will not be
output to the IR OUT terminal.

Changing the Remote Controller’s
Transmission Signal Format (IR/RF)
Roll the scroll wheel to select the
same channel as the RF receiver,
and then press the scroll wheel.
Channels 0 to 3 can be selected.
If the ID and channel have been set suc-
cessfully, “OK” appears on the display.

You can set the remote controller’s transmission signal
format to either infrared (IR) or radio frequency (RF).
The default setting is IR.
This is useful when, for example, the DTR-7.4 is
installed in a rack or is not in line of sight of the remote
controller as it allows you to use a commercially avail-
able RF receiver to pick up commands from the remote
controller, which are then fed to the DTR-7.4 via its IR
IN socket. For this to work, you must assign the same
ID and channel to the remote controller and RF receiver.
Press and hold the Custom button

detailed information, consult with your ISP or PC
retailer.
Internet radio features
The DTR-7.4 provides enhanced support for Internet
radio and allows you to:
• Listen to both WMA and MP3 audio streamed from
Internet radio stations
• Select stations by genre, location, or language
• Preset up to 30 Internet radio stations
Net-Tune Features
The Network Audio Server distributes music files
through LAN to the DTR-7.4.
The DTR-7.4 plays distributed music data whenever
you need.
In the connection between the Network Audio Server
and the DTR-7.4, the standard TCP/IP network protocol
and the Integra/Onkyo’s proprietary NTSP protocol is
used for music distribution through LAN. The NTSP
protocol handles not only data for music itself but also
additional music information including the name of
tracks and artists, enabling high usability.
I Ethernet CAT-5 cable
I Minimum Internet Connection Requirements:
•
•
Broadband Internet Connection
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
based network (requires a DHCP-enabled router)
100Base-TX switch built-in broadband router
(recommended)
•
Notes:
• To enjoy music on Internet Radio, it is assumed that
you provide a broadband Internet connection on
which you can successfully run a web browser. If you
have any problem in connecting to the Internet, con-
sult with your ISP.
The Network Audio Server supports WAVE (PCM) and
MP3 formats. The WAVE format has high sound quality
(equivalent to CD) with no compression. The MP3 for-
mat is widely used through Internet environment and
has near-CD quality with compression.
• If your ISP contract assumes manual configuration of
network settings, you need to manually configure
your network settings as described in “Network Setup
Menu” (see page 76).
Hint:
File Format: MP3 (Approximately 1 MB for 1 minute)
WAVE (PCM) (Approximately 10 MB
for 1 minute)
• The DTR-7.4 does not support network settings for
PPPoE connections; if your ISP contract requires
PPPoE, therefore, you must have a gateway/router
with PPPoE support.
For details on the Network Audio Server or the
Net-Tune related products, go to the URL below.
http://www.integrahometheater.com/
• You may have to set up a proxy server to listen to
Internet radio, depending on the ISP you choose. If
your PC is configured to use a proxy server for Inter-
net access, the DTR-7.4 must also be configured the
same way. For more information, see “Proxy Setup
Sub-menu” (see page 77).
• The DTR-7.4 is designed to take advantage of the
DHCP and AutoIP functionality, thereby automati-
cally configuring the network settings. If you opt not
to use the DHCP and AutoIP functionality, you
should manually configure the network settings. For
more information, see “IP Address Sub-menu” (see
page 77).

Hint:
Connecting the DTR-7.4 toYour
Ethernet Network
Connecting more than one DTR-7.4 unit to a router
enables several users to listen to Internet radio at differ-
ent stations or different music pieces contained in the
same library on the Network Audio Server.
Plug one end of an Ethernet CAT-5 cable into the port
on the backside of the DTR-7.4 and the other end into
the gateway.

Before you can use the DTR-7.4 to play music contained
in the music library on the Network Audio Server and
listen to Internet radio, you must correctly configure the
DTR-7.4’s network settings so that it can connect to
your LAN and the Internet.
It is strongly recommended to use a broadband connec-
tion (via an xDSL or CATV leased line) and a router. If
you are connected to the Internet via a narrowband dial-
up connection, you may not be able to enjoy Internet
radio as you expect or at all.
buttons to set the desired value.
When you’ve completed the settings on
any menu, press the Return button to
return to the “5. Network Setup” menu,
use the and cursor buttons to select
“Save Settings,” and then press Enter.
Don’t turn off the DTR-7.4 while the settings are
being saved (about 2 seconds), otherwise they’ll
be lost.
6
Before setting up the DTR-7.4, make sure that you are
already using a router that provides Internet access and
that the DTR-7.4 is correctly connected with your router
or hub via a LAN cable.
Press the Setup button to exit the Setup
menu.
7
For more information on Internet connectivity, consult
with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or refer to the
router documentation.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and
AutoIP are mechanisms for network configuration,
which assign IP addresses automatically to network
devices such as the DTR-7.4, PC, and broadband router.
DNS (Domain Name System) is a mechanism which
translates domain names into IP addresses or vice versa.
Domain names such as www.onkyo.co.jp are used for
Web browsing, and IP addresses such as 210.199.170.69
are used for actual network data transfer.

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 suc-
cessfully, “OK” appears on the display.
You may need to press the button several
times.

You can teach the DTR-7.4’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-7.4’s remote
controller can be taught to transmit those commands
when its Play
mode.
and Stop
buttons are pressed in CD
This is convenient when you want to add commands to
buttons after entering a remote control code (page 89).
If the command is not learnt success-
fully, after the message “FAIL” has been
displayed, the mode select display reap-
pears (step 3), and you should try again.
Press and hold the Custom button
for more than three seconds.
The remote controller enters Custom
mode.

To teach the DTR-7.4’s remote
controller more new commands,
repeat steps 3 through 5.
Press the Custom button when you’ve
finished.

mands: LIGHT, Customs, Macro, Mode, Input, Zone

• The DTR-7.4’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 control-
ler cannot learn any more commands because its
memory is full.

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.
• By default, the DTR-7.4’s remote controller knows
the commands for controlling an 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.
• To teach a new command to a button that has already
been taught a command, simply repeat this proce-
dure.
On the DTR-7.4’s remote con-
troller, press the button you want
to teach the new command.
4
• Like most remote controllers, the DTR-7.4’s remote
controller uses infrared. Commands from remote
controllers that don’t use infrared cannot be learnt.
• 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
controllers.
If you press a button that cannot be
taught a new command, the message
“RETRY” appears and you should press
another button.
