*When the input signal is digital audio

The program format is displayed. For example, the display “Dolby D: 3/2.1” shows that the format is Dolby Digital with 5.1 discrete channels consisting of three front channels (front left, front right, and center), two surround channels (surround left and surround right), and the low frequency effect (LFE) channel.

When the front channel number is 2, they are the front left and front right; when it is 1, it is monaural. When the surround channel number is 1, it is monaural; when it is 0, there is no surround channel. When no LFE number is given, there is no LFE channel. Also, if there is no program format for the input signal, nothing will be displayed.

When the input signal is linear PCM

The sampling frequency is displayed. For example, the display “PCM fs: 44.1k” shows that the signal is PCM and that the sampling frequency is 44.1 kHz.

Adjusting the bass and treble

You can adjust the bass and treble levels at the Setup Menu → Audio Adjust Menu → Tone Control Sub-menu (see page 56). The treble level affects the front left and right speakers and center speaker. The Bass level affects the front left and right speakers, center speaker, and subwoofer. This function will not work if the listening mode is set to “Direct” or “Pure Audio.”

Listening with headphones

To listen with headphones, plug a pair of headphones with a standard stereo plug into the PHONES jack on the DTR-8.3 front panel.

When you connect headphones, no sound will be heard from the speakers.

When the headphones are unplugged, the DTR-8.3 returns to its original listening mode. When using the headphones, you can only use the Direct, Stereo, and Mono listening modes. (Available modes can vary depending on the current input source.)

If you have selected MULTI CH INPUT, you will only hear the sound only output to the front right and left channels.

The headphone volume level can be adjusted at the Setup Menu (see page 63).

Note:

The signal to the remote zone (Zone 2) will not be affected by whether or not headphones are connected.
