Miscellaneous Connections

Connections for remote control

The terminal on the DTR-6.4/5.4 is for connecting other

Integra/Onkyo components equipped with the same terminal. When a component is connected to the terminal, it can be operated by the remote controller supplied with the DTR-6.4/5.4. In addition,

when you connect a component to the terminal, you can also perform the system operations given below.

Power on/ready function

When the DTR-6.4/5.4 is in the standby state, if an -connected component is turned on, the DTR-6.4/5.4 also turns on and the input source selected at the DTR-6.4/5.4 automatically switches to that component.

Be aware that this function will not work if the power cord for the -connected component is connected to the AC OUTLET on the

DTR-6.4/5.4, or if the DTR-6.4/5.4 has already been turned on.

Direct change function

When the play button is pressed at an -connected component, the input source selected at the DTR-6.4/5.4 automatically changes to that component.

Power off function

When the DTR-6.4/5.4 is placed in the standby state, all - connected components are also automatically put into the standby state.

Also, if you press the On button on the DTR-6.4/5.4 remote controller while the DTR-6.4/5.4 is turned on, all -connected components (DVD players, CD players, MD recorders, tuners, etc.) are also turned on.

Dimmer function

The Dimmer function (display brightness adjustment) of the DTR- 6.4/5.4 can be used to synchronize the display brightness on the

connected device using the connection.

Caution:

If an MD recorder is connected to the TAPE jack on the DTR-6.4/ 5.4, switch the Input Selector from TAPE to MD (see page 35).

connector

Ex: Integra/Onkyo

CD player

connector

Ex: Onkyo cassette tape deck

To connect components using the terminal, simply connect a

remote control cable from this terminal to the terminal of

the other component. An remote control cable with a 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) miniature two-conductor plug comes with every cassette tape deck, compact disc player, MD recorder, and DVD player that

has an terminal.

•When performing operations with -connected components

using the system, do not use the remote zone (Zone 2) .

•For remote control operation, the audio connection cables must also be connected.

•If a component has two terminals, you can use either one to connect to the DTR-6.4/5.4. The other one can be used to daisy chain with another component.

•With Integra/Onkyo DVD players, you can enter the pre- program code so that you can operate the DVD player directly

with the remote controller without connecting the terminals (see pages 66 and 67).

RS232

The RS232 port is to be used in conjunction with an external controller to control the operation of the DTR-6.4/5.4 by using an external device.

A-BUS

A-BUS is a simple, efficient, elegant audio distribution system. The wiring installation time is significantly reduced as only a single CAT-5 wire is run to each location. A-BUS is easy to use, reliable, affordable, and most of all, far better sounding than conventional autoformer based volume controls.

ZONE 2 OUT: Use a CAT-5 (eight conductor twisted) cable to connect directly from the receiver’s A-BUS RJ45 Hub to an A-BUS keypad.

Warning:

DO NOT connect A-BUS outputs to any computer or network connections (i.e. ethernet). It will cause damage to the computer or network components as 24-volt power runs on this same cable to power the amplifier stages of the amplifier module.

IR OUT: Another feature of the A-BUS system is the ability to control source equipment in another room where the A-BUS module is installed. If you wish to control another source from the receiver at the A-BUS keypad by remote control, connect A-BUS or another brands' IR emitter on the receiver's 40 k terminal. Then place the emitter on the remote receiver on the front panel.

Typically, the emitter will work when you connect with a 40 K connector. If it does not work, try a 56 K connector.

DC IN: Connect A-BUS power supply. Do not use any other AC Adapter on this connector as it may cause severe damage to the receiver.

12V TRIGGER OUT

12V TRIGGER OUT A/B

These terminals are provided so that you can use the operation of the DTR-6.4/5.4 control the operation of another externally connected device. Connect the component to this 1/8-inch mini-jack terminal and when the set input source is selected, the device will turn on. Set the 12V TRIGGER terminal using the Setup menu: Input setup → 12V trigger (see page 34).

12V TRIGGER OUT ZONE 2

When the DTR-6.4/5.4 is in the ZONE 2 mode, this terminal outputs at 12 V/100 mA.
