Cautions regarding the AC OUTLETS connectors
The DTR-5.2 is supplied with AC mains outlets for connecting the power cords from other devices so that their power is supplied through the DTR-5.2. By doing this, you can use the Standby/On button on the DTR-5.2 to turn on and off the connected devices as well.
Caution: Make sure that the total capacity of the other components connected to this unit does not exceed the capacity that is printed on the rear panel. For this model, the capcity is 120 watts.

To connect components using the z terminal, simply connect a remote control cable from this z terminal to the z terminal of the other component. An z remote control cable with a 1/8-inch (3.5mm) miniature two-conductor plug comes with every cassette tape deck, compact disc player, MD recorder, and DVD player that has an z terminal.
· For remote control operation, the audio connection cables must also be connected.
· The RC-441M remote controller does not support turntables.
· If a component has two z terminals, you can use either one to connect to the DTR-5.2. The other one can be used to daisy chain with another component.
· With Integra/Onkyo DVD players, you can enter the preprogram code so that you can operate the DVD player directly with the remote controller without connecting the z terminals (see page 38).

Operating components not reached by the remote controller signals (IR IN/OUT)

The following equipment (sold separately) is essential for operation: · Onkyo’s Multi-Room System kits (IR Remote Controller
Extension System), or · Multiroom A/V distribution and control systems from Niles®
and Xantech® to name a few
· Xantech is a registered trademark of Xantech Corporation. · Niles is a registered trademark of Niles Audio Corporation.
If the remote controller signal does not reach the DTR-5.2 remote sensor
If the DTR-5.2 is located inside a cabinet or other enclosure where the infrared rays from the remote controller cannnot enter, then operation with the remote controller will noe be possible. In such a case, it will be necessary to install a remote sensor at a location outside of the cabinet for the infrared rays from the controller to reach.

If the remote controller signal does not reach other components
In this situation, you will need to use a commercially available IR emitter. Connect the IR emitter to the IR OUT terminal on the DTR5.2 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-5.2 will not be output to the IR OUT terminal.

Connecting speakers

Positioning speakers
Speaker placement plays an important role in the reproduction of Surround sound. The placement of the speakers varies depending on the size of the room and the wall coverings used in the room. The illustration shows an example of a layout for standard speaker placement. Refer to this example when you position the speakers in order to experience the best of Surround sound.
Standard speaker placement
For ideal Surround effects, all speakers should be installed. If a center speaker or subwoofer is not connected, the sound from the unused channel is properly distributed to the connected speakers in order to produce the best Surround sound possible.
Front: The left, right, and center speakers should face the seated listener and be placed at ear level. The center speaker produces a richer sound image by enhancing the perception of the sound’s source and movement.
Surround: Place the left and right Surround speakers 3 feet (1 meter) above the listener’s ear level and facing toward the sides of the room, making sure that the listener is within the speakers’ dispersion angle. These speakers produce the feel of a moving sound while creating the sensation of being in the middle of the action.
Subwoofer: Install a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier for powerful bass sounds. The placement of the subwoofer does not affect the final quality of the sound image too much, so you can install it with the room layout in mind.
Refer to the speaker’s instruction manual for more details.

Connecting the speaker cable 1. Strip away 5/8 inch (15 mm) of wire insulation. 2. Twist wire ends very tight. 3. Unscrew 4. Insert wire 5. Screw

Using listening mode

The DTR-5.2’s surround sound enables you to enjoy the presence of a movie theater or concert hall in your room.
The configuration of the speakers are very important for the surround sound. Refer to “Connecting speakers” on page 16.
Before using a listening mode, make sure the Speaker Setup parameters have been set (refer to page 21) . Once the parameters have been set, it is not necessary to set them again. Refer to page 25 for information regarding how to select the listening mode.
Listening modes
Stereo This mode has all input sounds output from the left and right front speakers.
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.
Surround modes
With this mode, decoding is performed automatically to match the input signal. This original mode adds no sound processing to the input signal.
· Dolby D (Dolby Digital) Digital data with AC-3 compression and a maximum of 5.1channel surround sound. This source signal comes from DVDs and LDs that have the mark and therefore recorded for 5.1channel output. This source also comes from digital satellite broadcasts that support Dolby Digital.
· DTS DTS (Digital Theater System) is compressed digital data with a maximum 5.1-channel
surround output that allows for an extremely high-quality sound. This source signal requires a DVD player that supports DTS output and comes from compact discs, DVDs, and LDs that have the mark.
Notes on DTS:
· If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the “ANALOG” setting is selected on the DTR-5.2, 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 selected “AUTO” and use the digital input jacks (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source.
· The DTS indicator on the DTR-5.2 lights while a DTS source is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal transmission stops, the DTR-5.2 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.
· If you press the pause or skip button on the player while playing a DTS source, on rare occasions a short noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction.
· You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from certain CD players and LD players even if you connect the player to the DTR-5.2 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the DTR-5.2 cannot recognize the signal as DTS data. Therefore you may hear noise when you play a DTS source while processing the
28

signal.
· The outputs for the VIDEO 1 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.

  • 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 you to individually record and play 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.
    · DOLBY PRO LOGIC II Surround This mode is a new generation 5-channel surround system that provides performance between the 4-channel (left front, right front, center, and monaural surround) Pro Logic Surround and the 5.1-channel Dolby Digital Surround. This mode can be set to the Movie mode designed for playing movies and the 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 sound space that cannot be provided with normal stereo output.
    This mode can be used with VHS and DVD videos with the mark and certain television programs. The Music
    mode can be used with music compact discs and other stereo sources.
    You can press the SURR button on the remote controller to switch between MOVIE and MUSIC. The initial setting is MOVIE. This setting can be made for each input source.
    If no surround speakers are connected, then the surround sound is divided and output from the front left and right channels (3 stereo).
    Re-EQ function You can use the Cinema Re-Equalization function when playing back sources in the Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic II Movie modes (see page 9).
    LATE NIGHT When using Dolby Digital, you can use the LATE NIGHT function (see page 32).
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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.

For example, with the default settings, even when using the same DVD player, if a CD is played, the listening mode automatically becomes “STEREO,” and if a DVD is played (Dolby Digital 3/2.1), the listening mode automatically becomes Dolby D.
Analog/PCM Source: Set a listening mode for the input signal from 2-channel analog sources and PCM source (default: STEREO.)
Note: For PCM sources recorded at a sampling rate of 96 kHz or greater, only the Stereo or Direct listening modes can be selected. However, the set listening mode is stored in memory.
Digital format Source: Set a listening mode for the input signal from digital sources (default: SURROUND).

Input Setup

IntelliVolume

When switching input sources, you may find that the output level for different components or input sources connected to the DTR-5.2 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 IntelliVolume 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-5.2 adjusts the volume accordingly so that the resulting volume stays the same.

3. Set the tape deck in recording mode. Start playing the source.
Set the proper recording level using the controls on the tape deck.

Tip: If you want to record the video from one source and the audio from another source together, such as recording the video from a video camera connected to VIDEO 2 and the audio from a CD player connected to CD, in step 2 above, select the source for the video and then select the source for the audio. The remaining procedure is the same as that above.
Notes: · If you change the input source during recording, you will record
the signals from the newly selected input source.
· You cannot record the surround effects.
· You cannot perform digital recording with the DTR-5.2. Also, digital-to- analog signal conversion is not possible, so to record audio signals from digital sources (e.g. CD players), you must not only make the digital connection, but the analog connection as well.
· You cannot record the source connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT connector.

Recording data from a video disc player (or a video camcorder) to VCR

No preset codes are programmed into the SAT, CABLE, VCR, and TV MODE buttons. You can use these buttons to program the remote controller signals of other devices. There are two methods. One method is selecting the name of a different brand from the table, entering the setting number listed, and calling up the pre-programming code (see page 38). The other method is learning the commands from the other brand’s remote control directly into this remote controller (see page 42).
When in the SAT, CABLE and VCR mode, you may use the following buttons: VOL : Adjusts the volume at the DTR-5.2 MUTING: Activates the muting function at the DTR-5.2

Learning a pre-programming code

The remote controller has three learning functions. One is entering the signal number for a remote controller of another brand that is preprogrammed. Another is a normal learning function that enables the remote controller to learn the codes from other remote controllers. 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.

Caution With some brand’s components, some buttons may not work correctly. In this case, program the command separately.

Learning a pre-programming code
By learning a pre-programming code, you can make the RC-441M remote controller able to operate a product from another brand. The buttons that are used for operation are given on the next page.
1. Find the 3-digit number for the brand 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).
3. While holding down the MODE button on the RC441M that you want to program, press the DISPLAY button, and then release both buttons.
The SEND/LEARN indicator lights when the MODE button is pressed and turns off when the DISPLAY button is pressed. Wait until the indicator turns off before releasing both buttons. Then the SEND/LEARN indicator lights again.
4. Within 30 seconds, enter the 3-digit code number.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly. 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, then program the commands one by one to the buttons on the RC-441M remote controller.
When entering the code of Integra/Onkyo DVD players: There are three SETTING numbers. Choose the SETTING number according to how you will be using the DVD player.
No. 601/613: These codes are for operating the Integra/Onkyo DVD player by pointing the remote controller directly at it, either because it does not have an z terminal, or it does but you are not using an z cable and connecting it. First enter 601 and if it does not operate properly, enter 613.
No. 600: This code is for Integra/Onkyo DVD players that have an z terminal that you are connecting to the DTR-5.2 with an z cable. You will then operate the DVD player by pointing the remote controller at the remote control sensor on the DTR-5.2. 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.

Pre-programmong codes
Note: If more than one code is given in the table, try the code one by one until you reach the code for your component (i.e. if the first code does not work, then try the next).

Programming procedure
When programming the commands of another remote controller to the RC-441M remote controller, you must first decide under which 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-441M 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-441M remote controller one at a time. Each command is then programmed to a different button on the RC-441M remote controller. Any button is programmable for this step except for the eight MODE buttons (RCVR, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE, VCR, and TV), the two MACRO buttons (DIRECT and MODE), 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.
When you press and hold down the MODE button, the SEND/ LEARN indicator lights. When you press the ENTER button, the lamp turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp lights again.
3. Press and release the button on the remote controller to which you want to transfer the next command.
You may select any button but the eleven ones indicated in the figure below. When you press the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the button, the indicator lights again. If you press the wrong button by mistake, press that same button again. The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice, and the remote controller exits the programming mode.

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 lamp 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 44). · The remote controller has 408 memory slots (8 modes × 51 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 no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the programming, or if you perform an invalid operation during programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 2.
· If a failure occurs during programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 3.
· If a failure occurs five times in row during programming, the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 3.
· 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 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 a system that is 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 48 for how to erase the memorized commands from all buttons.

Using a Macro function

What is a 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. For example, to play a compact disc player connected to the DTR5.2 normally, you must perform the following steps: 1. Press the RCVR MODE button.
2. Press the ON button.
3. Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button.
4. Press the CD MODE button.
5. Press the playback ( ) button.
By using the macro function, you can perform the above five operations by only pressing two buttons.

Programming a Macro function
You can program a different macro into the MODE MACRO button for each of the eight MODE buttons. The macro is then executed by pressing the appropriate MODE button and then pressing the MODE MACRO button. For example, to program the macro described above into the CD MODE button, perform the steps given below.
1. Press and hold down the desired MODE button (in this case, the CD MODE button), press the MODE MACRO button, and then release both buttons.
When you press the CD MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights and the CD MODE button lights green. When you press the MODE MACRO button, the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the indicator flashes and 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).
When you press each button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the button, the indicator lights.
3. Press the MODE MACRO button to complete the programming.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly.
4. Run the macro to check to see if the macro has been properly programmed.
Notes: · You may program up to 16 button operations into each macro
function. If you try to program a 17th operation, it will be ignored, and programming is stopped. · If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 1. · If you perform an invalid operation during programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 1.

HOME THEATER CONTROLLER RC-441M
Tips: · If you erase or change the command of a button programmed in
a 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 a 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.

Running a Macro function
Perform the procedure below to run a macro function that you have programmed into the remote controller. After programming a macro, you should always run it at least once to make sure that it has been programmed properly.
1. Point the remote controller at the DTR-5.2 and press the CD MODE button.
2. Press the MODE MACRO, and verify that the devices operate properly. 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.
