If one of the messages shown below appears
If you try to perform an operation that is not possible, “Not
available” appears followed by one of the messages shown below
to explain the reason.
Enjoying the multichannel input
Before you can use a component with multichannel output, you
must first select “Yes” for the Multichannel setting in the OSD
menu for that input source: Input Setup
→
Audio Setup (see page
34). Also, select “Multichannel” using the Audio Selector button
on the front panel.
1. Press the input source button for the
component with multichannel output
connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT on
the rear of the DTR-7.1.
2. Turn on the connected component and start
playing the desired media.
3. If necessary, press the CH SEL button on the
remote controller to select an individual
speaker. Then press the LEVEL + or – button
to adjust the output level as desired.
Adjust the speaker output levels so that you can hear the same
sound level from each speaker at the listening position. For the
front right, front left, center, surround right, surround left,
surround back right and surround back left speakers, the
output levels can be adjusted between –12 to +12 decibels. The
subwoofer can be adjusted between –15 and +12 decibels.
4. Adjust the volume with the Master Volume dial
or the VOL
buttons on the remote
controller.
Using the many features of the DTR-7.1
Outputting from different input source:
You can have the DTR-7.1 output the audio of one input
source through the speakers while the video of another input
source is output to the monitor (see page 36).
Assigning names to input sources:
You can enter a name for each input source so that when the
source is selected the name of that source is displayed in the
front display of the DTR-7.1 (see page 55).
Temporarily changing the speaker output levels:
To change the individual speaker volumes temporarily, use the
remote controller and follow the procedure given below. Note
that the calibration settings will return to the original settings
when the DTR-7.1 is put in standby.
1. Press the CH SEL button and select the desired speaker.
2. Press the LEVEL + or – button to adjust the volume level.
Using the sleep time:
To set the sleep timer, press the SLEEP button on the remote
controller and then set the time that you want the DTR-7.1 to
enter the standby state (see page 57).
Temporarily turning off the sound:
To turn off the sound momentarily, such as when interrupted
by a phone call, press the MUTING button on the remote
controller (see page 57).
Adjusting the bass and treble:
You can adjust the bass and treble levels at the Tone Control
sub-menu of the OSD menu: Input Setup
→
Tone Control (see
page 40). You can also press the BASS/TREBLE button on the
front to display either “BASS” or “TREBLE” in the front
display (the display will change each time the button is
pressed) and turn the SSC dial to adjust the volume. This
function only affects the front left and right speakers, the
center speaker, and the subwoofer.
Adjusting the brightness of the front display:
