only, recording copyrighted material is illegal with-  
out the permission of the copyright holder.  
• Install this unit horizontally. Never use it on its  
side or on a sloping surface, because it may cause  
a malfunction.  
• If you install this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR,  
the picture and sound quality may be affected. If  
this occurs, move this unit away from the TV,  
radio, or VCR.  
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-  
serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact  
your Integra/Onkyo dealer.  
3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all  
over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft  
cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild deter-  
gent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards  
with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thin-  
ners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because  
they may damage the finish or remove the panel let-  
tering.  
8. To Obtain a Clear Picture—This unit is a high-  
tech, precision device. If the lens on the optical  
pickup, or the disc drive mechanism becomes dirty  
or worn, the picture quality may be affected. To  
maintain the best picture quality, we recommend  
regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or  
worn part replacement) every 1,000 hours of use  
depending on the operating environment. Contact  
your Integra/Onkyo dealer for details.

Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the  
voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel  
(e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).  
Moisture may condense on the lens of the optical  
pickup, one of the most important parts inside this  
unit.  
• Moisture condensation can occur in the following  
situations:  
The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit  
from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug  
is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.  
– The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm  
place.  
– A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air  
conditioner is hitting the unit.  
5. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands—Never  
handle this unit or its power cord while your hands  
are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets  
inside this unit, have it checked by your Integra/  
Onkyo dealer.  
– In the summer, when this unit is moved from an  
air conditioned room to a hot and humid place.  
– The unit is used in a humid place.  
• Do not use this unit when there’s the possibility  
of moisture condensation occurring. Doing so  
may damage your discs and certain parts inside  
this unit.  
If condensation does occur, remove all discs and  
leave this unit turned on for two to three hours. By  
this time, the unit will have warmed up and any con-  
densation will have evaporated.  
6. Handling Notes  
• If you need to transport this unit, use the original  
packaging to pack it how it was when you origi-  
nally bought it.  
• Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit  
for a long time, because they may leave marks on  
the case.

after prolonged use. This is normal.  
• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may  
not work properly the next time you turn it on, so  
be sure to use it occasionally.  
10. Region Numbers—The DVD standard uses region  
numbers to control how discs can be played around  
the world, the world being divided into six regions.  
This unit will only play DVD discs that match its  
region number, which can be found on its rear panel  
• When you’ve finished using this unit, remove all

11. About this Manual—This manual explains how to  
use all of this unit’s functions. Although the DVD  
standard offers many special features, not all discs  
use them all, so depending on the disc being played,  
this unit may not respond to certain functions. See  
the disc’s sleeve notes for supported features.  
7. Installing this Unit  
• Install this unit in a well-ventilated location.  
• Ensure that there’s adequate ventilation all  
around this unit, especially if it’s installed in an  
audio rack. If the ventilation is inadequate, the  
unit may overheat, leading to malfunction.  
• Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heat  
sources, because its internal temperature may  
rise, shortening the life of the optical pickup.  
• Avoid damp and dusty places, and places subject  
to vibrations from loudspeakers. Never put the  
unit on top of, or directly above a loudspeaker.

Introduction—Continued  
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface):  
A new connection format that greatly simplifies AV  
connections by carrying uncompressed SD or HD  
digital video and digital audio all in one cable.  
DPC-7.7-related Terminology  
CD-R (compact disc recordable): A type of  
CD that can be recorded only once. Can be used to  
make audio CDs, or MP3/WMA/JPEG discs.  
Interlaced scanning: TV pictures are made by  
scanning the screen in horizontal lines from top to  
bottom. With Interlaced scanning, two scans (fields)  
are used to make each picture (frame). Contrast with  
Progressive scanning.  
CD-RW (compact disc rewritable): A type of  
CD that can be recorded many times. Can be used to  
make audio CDs, MP3/WMA/JPEG discs.  
Chapter: Titles on DVD-Video discs can be subdi-  
vided into chapters.  
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group):  
The compressed file format used to store digital pho-  
tos.  
Component video: A video connection format  
that separates the luminance (Y) and color difference  
signals (PR, PB), providing better picture quality than  
S-Video.  
LFE (low-frequency effects): The surround-  
sound channel used for low-frequency effects.  
Composite video: A video connection format that  
Linear PCM: The uncompressed digital audio for-  
mat used for audio CDs. PCM stands for Pulse Code  
modulation.  
mixes the luminance and color signals together.  
Dolby Digital: The multi-channel digital surround  
sound format used on most DVD-Videos.  
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3): Popular com-  
pressed file format for storing digital music.  
Downmixing: The process of mixing multiple  
audio channels into fewer channels. For example, a  
5.1-channel surround mix can be downmixed into  
two channels for reproduction on stereo systems.  
MPEG1 (Moving Picture Experts Group 1):  
The compressed digital video format used for Video  
CDs.  
Downsampling: The process of reducing the sam-  
MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group 2):  
The compressed digital video format used for  
DVD-Videos, offering better picture quality than  
MPEG1.  
pling rate of digital audio.  
DTS (Digital Theater System): The 5.1-channel  
surround format that uses less compression for faith-  
ful reproduction.  
NTSC: The color TV system used in the United  
States, Japan, Taiwan, and Korea.  
DVD-R (DVD recordable): A type of DVD disc  
that can be recorded only once. Can be used to make  
DVD-Video discs or to store computer data.  
PAL: The color TV system used in most of Europe,  
the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, and China.  
DVD-RW (DVD rewritable): A type of DVD disc  
that can be recorded many times. Can be used to  
make DVD-Video discs or to store computer data.  
Progressive scanning: TV pictures are made by  
scanning the screen in horizontal lines from top to  
bottom. With progressive scanning, each picture  
(frame) is made by scanning the entire screen in one  
go, resulting is a clearer and stabler picture. Contrast  
with Interlaced scanning.  
DVD-Video: The format for storing movies on  
DVD, with interactive menus, multiple language  
soundtracks, subtitles, camera angles, and so on.  
S-Video: A video connection format that separates  
the luminance (Y) and color (C) signals, providing  
better picture quality than composite video.  
Field: In interlaced scanning, a field is a single scan  
of the screen. There are two fields per frame.  
Frame: An individual TV picture is called a frame.  
With the NTSC color system there are 30 frames per  
second.  
Title: Movies on DVD-Video are called titles.  
WMA (Windows Media Audio): A compressed  
file format for storing digital music.  
HD: Abbreviation for high definition, as in  
HDTV(high-definition TV).  
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content  
Protection): The video encryption technology  
developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to  
protect video content and requires a HDCP-compati-  
ble device to display the encrypted video.

Use an optical (or coaxial) digital audio cable to connect  
the DPC-7.7’s COAXIAL (or OPTICAL) DIGITAL  
AUDIO OUTPUT to an optical (or coaxial) input on  
your stereo amp, as shown.  
This section shows how to connect the DPC-7.7 to a AV  
receiver, HDTV, or projector that has an HDMI input  
socket.  
What is HDMI?  
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new  
connection format that can carry uncompressed, stan-  
dard or high definition digital video and up to eight chan-  
nels of digital audio. Until now, several separate video  
and audio cables have been required to connect AV com-  
ponents together. With HDMI, a single cable is all that’s  
necessary to achieve the best picture and audio quality.  
HDMI video is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual  
Interface). To send HDMI video to a DVI input requires  
an HDMI-to-DVI cable. The DPC-7.7 supports HDCP  
(High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), and for an  
HDMI-to-DVI connection to work, the other component  
must also support it. Note that this may not work with  
some DVI components.

the digital audio will be down sampled to 48 kHz, and  
in some cases may not be output by the DPC-7.7’s dig-  
ital audio outputs.  
Dynamic Range Control (Dolby Digital  
only)  
With the Dynamic Range Control function you can  
reduce the dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so  
that you can still hear quiet parts even when listening at  
low volume levels—ideal for watching movies late at  
night when you don’t want to disturb anyone.

Troubleshooting—Continued  
Abnormal Behavior  
The DPC-7.7 contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe  
interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely even that this  
should happen, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in again.  
Alternatively, press and hold the Stop [ ] button until “RESET” appears on the display (about 10 seconds).  
Restoring the Default Settings  
To reset the DPC-7.7 to its factory defaults, turn it on, and when “INTEGRA” has disappeared from the display, while  
holding down the Stop [ ] button, press the [Standby/On] button. “INITIALIZE” appears on the display. When the  
reset is complete, “COMPLETE” is displayed, and the DPC-7.7 enters Standby mode.  
HDMI Status Mode  
If you’re using an HDMI connection and there’s no picture or sound, you can check the status of the HDMI connection  
by pressing and holding down the DPC-7.7’s [Display] button for 10 seconds until a message ID appears on the display.  
Look up the message ID in the following tables and check the HDMI connections and settings on both the DPC-7.7 and  
the connected component.
