Integra DTR-7.1 appendix Front panel facilities

Front panel facilities

Front panel

Power switch

After plugging in the power cord into the rear panel and wall outlet, pressing this button connects the DTR-7.1 to the AC mains and turns it on.

•Before turning on the power, make sure all cables are properly connected.

•Turning on the DTR-7.1 may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the DTR-7.1 into a different electrical circuit.

Standby indicator

Lights when the DTR-7.1 is in the standby state and flashes when a signal is received from the remote controller.

Standby/On button

Pressing this button while the main power is turned on the Standby indicator lights up and the front display turns off. Pressing it again returns it to the standby state. This state turns off the display, disables control functions.

Phones jack

This is a standard stereo jack for connecting stereo headphones. The audio for the front right and left speakers are sent to the headphone speakers. When the headphones are plugged in, the listening mode automatically changes to stereo and output to the speakers is stopped.

Audio Selector button

This button is used to select the type of audio input signal. Each time pressed, the setting cycles from “AUTO” → “Multichannel”

→“Analog” and back.

AUTO (automatic detection): With this setting, the DTR-7.1 automatically detects whether the input signal is digital or analog. When a digital signal is not input, then the analog signal is played.

Multichannel: Select this setting to play back the input from the component connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port. This setting is effective when the Multichannel setting in the Audio Setup sub-menu is set to “Yes” (see page 35).

Analog: Select this setting to play back the input from a source component connected to an AUDIO IN jack. With this setting, even if a digital signal is input from the same component, only the analog signal will be output.

Zone 2 indicator

Lights when a signal is output to the remote zone (Zone 2). When the Zone 2 indicator is off, then either output to the remote zone is turned off or Rec Out is selected.

Rec Out/Zone 2 buttons

These buttons allow you to use the DTR-7.1 to output to a remote zone (Zone 2) or to another component for recording purposes (Rec Out). Press the Rec Out button to output the audio and video signals to a recording component for recording purposes. Press the Zone 2 button to enjoy the output from the DTR-7.1 in a different room, which is referred to as a remote zone (Zone 2).

When either button is pressed, the currently selected input source for recording or outputting to the remote zone is displayed in the front panel display. If “SOURCE” is displayed, then the same input source as that selected for the main zone will be output.

To select an input source, press the desired button (Rec Out or Zone 2) and then press one of the input source button within 3 seconds. That source will be output for recording or viewing in the remote zone. To turn off either the Rec Out or Zone 2 output, when “SOURCE” is displayed, press the button again. “OFF” appears in the front display.

Notes:

•The Rec Out and Zone 2 buttons use the same circuit and therefore cannot be used at the same time. When Rec Out is selected, nothing is output to Zone 2, and vice versa.

•When not using Rec Out or Zone 2, turn off the signal. If turned on and the connected component is not turned on, the electric signal will still be sent through the circuitry and the excess load may cause deterioration of the audio signal.

Master Volume dial

The Master Volume dial is used to control the volume for the main zone. The volume for the remote zone (Zone 2) is independent.

Input Source Buttons (DVD, Video 1–4, Tape, FM, AM, Phono, and CD)

These buttons are used to select the input source for the main zone. To select the input source for the remote zone (Zone 2) or recording out (Rec Out), first press the Zone 2 or Rec Out button, and then the desired input source button.

Video 4/Video Cam Input

These inputs are for connecting video cameras and other such equipment.

Dimmer button

Press to set the brightness of the front display. There are 3 settings available: normal, dark, and very dark.

•The dimmer control for the front display can also be performed at the remote controller.

Front display

FM Mute/Mode button

If you are listening to an FM radio station in stereo and the sound cuts out or there is a great deal of noise, switch from STEREO to MONO. Each time this button is pressed, the AUTO indication flashes and the stereo mode changes from AUTO to MONO and vice versa. This button also turns on and off the FM MUTE.

Tuning Up/Down button

Use these buttons to change the tuner frequency. The tuner frequency is displayed in the front display and it can be changed in 50 kHz increments for FM and 10 kHz (or 9 kHz) increments for AM.

When FM is selected, you can hold down one of the tuning buttons and then release it to activate the auto-search feature. It will search for a station in the direction of the button you pressed and stop when it tunes into one.
