Enjoying Home Theater

The DTR-6.4/5.4 has many excellent features to recreate 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-6.4, Integra recommends you to use the THX-certified THX speaker system for THX Surround EX playback.

When playing DVD software, you can enjoy sound effects provided by DTS, Dolby Digital or THX (DTR-6.4 only) depending on recording formats. In addition, you can enjoy Integra’s proprietary DSP surround playback for TV or satellite broadcast.

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)

(For DTR-6.4 only)

When you have seven speakers and use a power amplifier connected to the PRE OUT terminals on the DTR-6.4, the speakers 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, subwoofer can be used to produce powerful and heavy bass sound. (0.1-channel playback)

Center speaker

Complements the sound effect from front left and right speakers to enrich and clear the sound image and movement. In movies, actor's speech mainly comes out from the center speaker.

Place the center speaker as close as possible to the TV or monitor, pointing toward listener’s ears. Also keep the center speaker’s height as same level as possible to front left and right speakers.

Subwoofer

Outputs only bass sound to enhance and complement bass sound effect. Place the subwoofer at either front corner of the room or at 1/3 position from either front corner of the room.

Front left and right speakers

Output overall sound. They play most important role for home theater system, creating basic sound image and field.

Place the front speakers in front of the listener so that they point to listener’s ears in listening position for music and movies. Ideal speaker placement is that they are located symmetrically.

Surround back speaker

Enhance the sound space representation with surround channel signal, recreating sound movement effect and sound field in the back of the listener more real.

For DTR-6.4 users:

When you use two surround back speakers, you need to connect external stereo amplifier to the PRE OUT terminals on the DTR-6.4.

Surround left and right speakers

Enhance the live presence. They represent the three-dimensional sound movement with sound effects. Place the surround speakers at the side of the listener or at the diagonal position from the listener. Ideal speaker placement is that they are located symmetrically.

For optimum surround playback, you need to set the distance between the listener and speakers so that the time the sound from speakers reach the listener is constant. Also you need to set the speaker volume level individually for balancing the volume level between speakers. (See pages 52 and 53.)
