(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Important Safeguards
1. Read Instructions – All the safety and operating instructions
should be read before the appliance is operated.
2. Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions
should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings – All warnings on the appliance and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
5. Cleaning – Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet before
cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.
6. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by
the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture – Do not use the appliance near water –for
example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry
tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.
8. Accessories – Do not place the appliance on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the
appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance.
Any mounting of the appliance should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions,
PORTABLE CART WARNING
and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.
9. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, S3125A
and uneven surfaces may cause
the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided
for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance
and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not
be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked
by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. The appliance should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided. There should be free space of at least 20 cm (8 in.)
and an opening behind the appliance.
11. Power Sources – The appliance should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult
your appliance dealer or local power company.
12. Grounding or Polarization – The appliance may be equipped
with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.

13. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention
to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the appliance.
14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810
of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antennadischarge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.
15. Lightning – For added protection for the appliance during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to
the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.
16. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines
or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme
care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or
circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
17. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,
or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk
of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind
into the appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.
19. Servicing – Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
20. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the appliance form the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
appliance,
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,
D. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the appliance to its normal operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way,
and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.

21. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified
by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
22. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to the
appliance, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the appliance is in proper operation condition.
23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The appliance should be mounted
to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
24. Heat – The appliance should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Connections
Here is explanation of how to connect the main components to the
DTR-6.2 in the standard manner. There are many ways that any one
component can be connected, and it is up to you to decide which
method best fits your situation. The directions given here are only
one option and should only be thought of as such. It is best to fully
understand the nature of each connector and terminal as well as each
of your components and their features to ascertain which method of
connection is best.
• Be sure to always refer to the instructions that came with the
component that you are connecting.
• Do not plug in the power cord until all connections have been
made.
• For input jacks, red connectors (marked R) are used for the
right channel, white connectors (marked L) are used for the
left channel, and yellow connectors (marked V) are used for
video connection.
• Do not bind audio/video connection cables with power cords
and speaker cables. Doing so may adversely affect the
picture and sound quality.
• When using the digital inputs, make sure to also connect the
analog connections whenever possible.

• Insert all plugs and connectors securely. Improper
connections can result in noise, poor performance, or
damage to the equipment.
Improper connection

Positioning speakers
Speaker placement plays an important role in the reproduction of
Surround sound. The placement of the speakers varies depending on
the size of the room and the wall coverings used in the room. The
illustration shows an example of a layout for standard speaker
placement. Refer to this example when you position the speakers in
order to experience the best of Surround sound.
Standard speaker placement
For ideal Surround effects, all speakers should be installed. If a
center speaker or subwoofer is not connected, the sound from the
unused channel is properly distributed to the connected speakers in
order to produce the best Surround sound possible.
Front: The left, right, and center speakers should face the seated
listener and be placed at ear level. The center speaker produces a
richer sound image by enhancing the perception of the sound’s
source and movement.
Surround: Place the left and right Surround speakers 3 feet (1
meter) above the listener’s ear level and facing toward the sides of
the room, making sure that the listener is within the speakers’ dispersion angle. These speakers produce the feel of a moving sound
while creating the sensation of being in the middle of the action.

Subwoofer: Install a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier for
powerful bass sounds. The placement of the subwoofer does not
affect the final quality of the sound image too much, so you can
install it with the room layout in mind.
Refer to the speaker’s instruction manual for more details.

The DTR-6.2 requires speakers with an impedance of 4 Ω or
greater. Connecting speakers with an impedance of less than 4 Ω
may damage the DTR-6.2.
2. Set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch according to
the impedance of the speakers being connected.
If all speakers have an impedance of 6 Ω or greater, slide the
IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch to the left (6 OHMS MIN./
SPEAKER). If one or more speakers have an impedance of less
than 6 Ω, slide the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch to the
right (4 OHMS MIN./SPEAKER).

• The DTR-6.2 is shipped with the main power (Power) switch in
the on position ( ON). When the power cord is plugged in for
the first time, the DTR-6.2 will automatically enter the standby
state and the Standby indicator will light (same condition after
step 2 below).
• Before you plug in the DTR-6.2, confirm that all connections
have been made properly.
• Turning on the power may cause a momentary power surge,
which might interfere with other electrical equipment on the
same circuit, such as computers. If this happens, use a wall outlet
on a different circuit.

To change the display of the input source from TAPE to
MD:
If you connected an MD recorder to the TAPE jack on the DTR-6.2,
you can have “MD” appear when the TAPE source button is pressed.
By changing the display, if an Integra/Onkyo MD recorder zconnected, the z system functions will become enabled.
Changing the display:
Press and hold down the TAPE source button until the display
changes from TAPE to MD (approx. 3 seconds).

Memory preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A builtin memory power backup system preserves the contents of the
memory during power failures and even when the POWER
switch is set to off. The POWER switch must be set to on in order
to charge the backup system.
The memory preservation period after the unit has been turned off
varies depending on climate and placement of the unit. On the
average, memory contents are protected over a period of a few
weeks after the last time the unit has been turned off. This period
is shorter when the unit is exposed to a highly humid climate.

2. Press the ON button to turn on the
DTR-6.2 (take it out of the standby
state).
To return the DTR-6.2 to the standby state,
press the STDBY button.

Connecting antennas
To use the tuner of DTR-6.2, it is necessary to prepare the supplied
FM and AM antennas.
• Adjustment and placement of the FM and AM antennas for
better reception must be done while listening to a station
broadcast.
• If better reception cannot be obtained, then placement of an
outside antenna is recommended.

Assembling the AM loop antenna
Assemble the loop antenna as shown in the illustration.
• Refer to “Connecting the AM loop antenna” below for details on
connecting the loop antenna.

Connecting the included antennas
Connecting the FM indoor antenna:
The FM indoor antenna is for indoor use only. During use, extend the
antenna and move it in various directions until the clearest signal is
received. Fix it with push pins or similar implements in the position
that will cause the least amount of distortion.
If the reception is not very clear with the attached FM indoor
antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.
Connecting the AM loop antenna:
The AM loop antenna is for indoor use only. Set it in the direction
and position where you receive the clearest sound. Put it as far away
as possible from the DTR-6.2, televisions, speaker cables, and power
cords.
When reception is not satisfactory with the attached AM loop
antenna alone, connection of an outdoor antenna is recommended.

broadcast signals.

Connecting antennas
Connecting an FM outdoor antenna
Please make sure that you follow the considerations:
• Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy
roads, etc.).
• It is dangerous to put the antenna close to power lines. Keep it
well away from power lines, transformers, etc.
• To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is
necessary. Follow item 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on
page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.

Directional linkage
Do not use the same antenna for both FM and TV (or VCR)
reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with
each other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna, use
a directional linkage type splitter.

Using listening mode
The DTR-6.2’s surround sound enables you to enjoy the presence of
a movie theater or concert hall in your room.
The configuration of the speakers are very important for the
surround sound. Refer to “Connecting speakers” on page 17.
Before using a listening mode, make sure the Speaker Setup
parameters have been set (refer to page 24-26). Once the parameters
have been set, it is not necessary to set them again.

Listening modes
Stereo
This mode has all input sounds output from the left and right front
speakers.
Direct
This mode delivers pure sound with minimum sound quality
adjustment and filtration. The sound recorded for the right and left
front channels is output to the right and left front speakers only and
not output to the subwoofer.
Surround modes
With this mode, decoding is performed automatically to match the
input signal. This original mode adds no sound processing to the
input signal.
• Dolby D (Dolby Digital)
Digital data with AC-3 compression and a maximum of 5.1channel* surround sound. This source signal comes from DVDs
and LDs that have the
mark and therefore recorded for
5.1-channel output. This source also comes from digital satellite
broadcasts that support dolby Digital.
• DTS
DTS (Digital Theater System) is compressed digital data with a
maximum 5.1-channel* surround output that allows for an
extremely high-quality sound. This source signal requires a
DVD player that supports DTS output and comes from compact
discs, DVDs, and LDs that have the
mark.
Notes on DTS:
• If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the “Analog”
setting is selected on the DTR-6.2, the DTS encoded signal
will not be decoded and noise will be output. This noise could
damage the amplifier and speakers. Therefore, be sure to
selected “Auto” and use the digital input jacks (OPTICAL or
COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source.
• The DTS indicator on the DTR-6.2 lights while a DTS source
is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal
transmission stops, the DTR-6.2 remains in DTS mode and
the DTS indicator remains lit. This prevents noise when you
operate the pause or skip button on the player. Therefore, if
the source is immediately switched from DTS to PCM, the
PCM signal may not be played. In this case, stop the playback
of the source on the player for about three seconds and then
resume playback.
• If you press the pause or skip button on the player while
playing a DTS source, on rare occasions a short noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
• You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from
certain CD players and LD players even if you connect the
player to the DTR-6.2 digitally. This is because the digital
signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling
frequency, or frequency response) and the DTR-6.2 cannot
recognize the signal as DTS data. Therefore you may hear
noise when you play a DTS source while processing the
signal.

• The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT, VIDEO 2 OUT, TAPE
OUT, output analog audio signals. Do not record from CDs or
LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the
DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as noise.
* The 5.1-channel digital surround format has a variety of versions
including Dolby Digital and DTS. The 5.1- channel digital
surround format enables you to individually record and play five
full-range (20 Hz to 20 kHz) channels (left and right front,
center, and two surround channels) plus an LFE channel (Low
Frequency Effect) for the low-range effect sound. It will create a
realistic sound that can be heard in the theaters and concert halls.
• DOLBY PRO LOGIC II Surround
This mode is a new generation 5-channel surround system that
provides performance between the 4-channel (left front, right
front, center, and monaural surround) Pro Logic Surround and
the 5.1-channel Dolby Digital Surround. This mode can be set to
the Movie mode designed for playing movies and the Music
mode designed for listening to music. In the Movie mode, the
surround channels, which used to provide monaural output over
only a narrow frequency range, now provide complete stereo
output over the full frequency range. The result is movie viewing
with a realistic feel of movement. The Music mode uses the
surround channels to provide a natural sound space that cannot
be provided with normal stereo output.
This mode can be used with VHS and DVD videos with the
mark and certain television programs. The
Music mode can be used with music compact discs and other
stereo sources.
You can press the SURR button on the remote controller to
switch between MOVIE and MUSIC. The initial setting is
MOVIE. This setting can be made for each input source.
If no surround speakers are connected, then the surround sound
is divided and output from the front left and right channels (3
stereo).
Orchestra
This mode is appropriate for classical and opera music. The center
channel is cut and the surround channels are emphasized to widen
the stereo image. It will simulate the natural reverberation that is
created in large halls.
TV Logic
This mode gives realistic acoustics to TV programs that are aired
from TV studios. It enhances the entire surround sound and clarity of
the conversation.
Unplugged
This mode is suitable for acoustical instrumental sounds, vocals, and
jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it will simulate
the acoustics that you would experience in front of the stage.
Studio-Mix
This mode is for rock and popular music. The lively sounds are
enhanced for a powerful acoustic image that simulates the feeling of
being in a club or rock concert.
All Ch Stereo
This mode is designed for playing background music. The front,
surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that
encompasses the entire area.

Here you will enter the distance from each speaker to your normal
listening position. This is important for the timing of the acoustics to
create the proper sound space that the DTR-6.2 and today’s sound
systems are able to produce.
Note:
Speakers that you selected “No” or “None” for in the Speaker Config
sub-menu will not appear.
a. Unit
feet: Select if you will enter the distances in feet.
meters: Select if you will enter the distances in meters.
b. Front L/R
Set the distance from the front left and right speakers to your normal
listening position between 1 and 30 feet in 1-feet intervals (0.3 to 9
meters in 0.3-meter intervals).
Position the front left and right speakers so that they are the same
distance from the listener. If they are not, you may lose the center
position for stereo sound.
c. Center
Set the distance from the center speaker to your normal listening
position between 1 and 30 feet in 1-feet intervals (0.3 to 9 meters in
0.3-meter intervals).
d. Surround L/R
Set the distance from the surround left and right speakers to your
normal listening position between 1 and 30 feet in 1-feet intervals
(0.3 to 9 meters in 0.3-meter intervals).

Here you will set the volume for each speaker so that they are all
heard by the listener at the same level. This is especially important
for speaker layouts where the left and right speakers are at
different distances or in asymmetrical positions due to room
designs and configurations. These settings and the distance
settings performed above are vital to create the proper acoustics
required for the optimum sound space and dynamics.
Notes:
• The speaker level settings here are not effective for multichannel input sources. To adjust the speaker levels for multichannel input sources, you will need to use the CH SEL,
LEVEL , and LEVEL buttons on the RC-441M remote
controller. See pages 30, 31.
• This setting cannot be made when Zone 2 is turned on, so be
sure to put Zone 2 in the standby mode.
Calibrating the speaker levels
(1) When this sub-menu is entered, the DTR-6.2 will emit a pink
noise from the front left speaker. At this time, the Master
volume automatically increases to the reference level (0dB).
Remember the level of this noise and then press the cursor
button. (Note that this can be adjusted to any level between –
12 and 12 decibels in 1-decibel intervals.) The DTR-6.2 will
now emit the pink noise from the center speaker.
(2) Using the and cursor buttons, adjust the volume level of
the noise from the center speaker so that it is the same level as
the front left speaker. You can jog back and forth between the
speakers to help you compare the volume levels.
(3) Press the cursor button again. The DTR-6.2 will now emit
the pink noise from the front right speaker.
(4) Repeat steps (2) and (3) above for the front right and other
speakers until all speakers are adjusted to the same volume
level.
Note:
• Speakers that you selected “No” or “None” for in the Speaker

With the DTR-6.2, you can set a different listening mode for each
different signal type that comes from each input source and also set
the parameters for the listening mode itself. For example, if your
DVD player also plays compact discs and the DVD video signal is
DTS and the compact disc signal is PCM, then you can set a
different listening mode for each.
This is especially convenient if you frequently play the same types
of movies or music.
See the next page for information regarding the relationship
between input sources and listening modes.
Input source signals
a. Analog/PCM Source
Set a listening mode for the input signal from analog sources and
PCM sources.
Note:
For PCM sources recorded at a sampling rate of 96 kHz or greater,
only the Stereo or Direct listening modes can be selected.
However, the set listening mode is stored in memory.
b. Digital Format
Set a listening mode for the input signal from Dolby Digital and
DTS sources.
• The DTR-6.2 will automatically switch to the listening mode
set for the current input signal. For example, even when using
the same DVD player, if a CD is played, the listening mode
automatically becomes “Stereo,” and if a DVD is played
(Dolby Digital 3/2.1), the listening mode automatically
becomes Dolby D.

a. IntelliVolume
When switching input sources, you may find that the output level for
different components or input sources connected to the DTR-6.2 is
different even though the main volume setting is the same. Under
normal circumstances, you would then have to change the volume
setting each time you change the input source. This IntelliVolume
sub-menu allows you to preset a volume level for each input source
separately so that when you do switch from one input source to
another, the DTR-6.2 adjusts the volume accordingly so that the
resulting volume stays the same. To set the IntelliVolume, simply
select an input source at the front panel, and if that source is quieter
than other sources, increase its decibel level with the
cursor
button, or if it is louder than other sources, decrease its decibel level
with the cursor button.
The IntelliVolume can be adjusted between –12 and +12 decibels.

This sub-menu allows you to make the required settings to turn on
the output from the 12V TRIGGER terminal to control another
component or device with the DTR-6.2 for each input source.
a. 12V Trigger A
On: Select to activate the device connected to the 12V TRIGGER A
terminal when the input source is selected.
Off: Select when no device is connected to the 12V TRIGGER A
terminal or you do not want the connected device to activate.
b. 12V Trigger B

This sub-menu allows you to make various settings concerning the
volume control of the DTR-6.2.

Quit:|SETUP|

Subwoofer
Set this to “Off” if you are not using a subwoofer (even if one is
connected). If “No” is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the
Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear.
Front Effect
You can choose from “Low,” “Middle,” or “High.”
Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation. When you play
these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP,
creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses frame or
presence. In this case, set this setting to “Low.” No reverberation
from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from the three front
channels, so the sound source is be played as it is without any further
reverberation.

a. Maximum Volume
This setting allows you to set the maximum volume that can be
output with the Master Volume dial to prevent components from
being damaged by excessively loud volumes. The maximum volume
can be set between 30 and 79.
b. Power On Volume
This sets a designated volume setting for the DTR-6.2 to be set every
time that the power is turned on. This prevents the DTR-6.2 from
being turned on while it is set to an extremely high volume and
suddenly output very loud sounds. The power on volume can be set
between min and max. If you do not mind having the DTR-6.2
turned on with its current volume setting, set this to “Last.”

Surround Effect
You can choose from “Low,” “Middle,” or “High.”
This adjusts the reflected and residual noises from the surround left
and right speakers.

4-5. Powered Zone 2 Setup sub-menu

a. Late Night
Sets “High,” “Low,” or “Off” for the late night function.
Cinema sound has a vast dynamic range; therefore, to hear the
quieter sounds such as human conversations, they must be played
back at larger volumes. When this parameter is set to “High” or
“Low,” the dynamic range of the sound is narrowed down to allow
you to easily hear minute sounds at low volumes. This function is
especially useful if you wish to play a movie at low volumes during
the nighttime.
Notes:
• The depth of the Late Night effect is determined by Dolby
Digital software. Some sounds may produce no or little effect.
• The Late Night function is effective only on Dolby Digital
encoded software.

Activated: Select when speakers are connected to the ZONE2
SPEAKERS terminals. During playback in the remote zone (Zone
2), the listening mode for the main zone becomes either Stereo or
Direct.
Not Activated: Select when you are connecting an amplifier to the
ZONE 2 OUT terminals and connecting speakers to that amplifier.

Tip:
When using Zone 2, even if you put the DTR-6.2 in the standby state,
it will not affect Zone 2 and the volume in Zone 2 can still be
adjusted. Moreover, components that have their power supply
connect to the AC OUTLET connector on the DTR-6.2 will not be
turned off.

Selecting an input source:
After pressing the ZONE 2 button, press an input source button
within 5 seconds.
If tuner is selected with the TUN button, the CH +/- button becomes
enabled.

Adjusting the volume:
After pressing the ZONE 2 button, adjust the volume using the
LEVEL / buttons within 5 seconds.

Notes:
• If you wish to use the remote controller from a separate room or other
location where the signals will not reach the DTR-6.2, you will need to
purchase a commercially available remote control sensor and emitter
(see page 20).
• After you press the ZONE 2 button on the remote controller, the
Standby indicator on the DTR-6.2 flashes for five seconds. During this
time, you will not be able to perform operations in the main zone using
the remote controller.
• If the source for the main zone is selected as the source for the remote
zone and the source for the main zone is changed, then the source for the
remote zone will change as well.
• In the remote zone, you can only play the source in the 2-channel mode.
You cannot play the source in the remote zone in the surround mode.
• When you are listening to a source in the remote zone (Zone 2), you can
only play sources in the Stereo or Direct modes in the main zone.
Therefore, when sources playing from the multichannel input in the
main zone, audio from the left and right surround speakers will not be
output.
• The Rec Out and Zone 2 buttons use the same circuit and therefore
cannot be used at same times. If the Rec Out button is pressed in the
main room while someone is using the system in the remote zone, the
Zone 2 function will be deactivated and the source will turn off in the
remote zone.
• The Zone 2 terminal is an analog output. Digital signals are not output.
If no sound is heard from the selected input source, check if the
component is connected to the analog inputs.

No preset codes are programmed into the SAT, CABLE, VCR, and
TV MODE buttons. You can use these buttons to program the
remote controller signals of other devices.
There are two methods. One method is selecting the name of a
different brand from the table, entering the setting number listed, and
calling up the pre-programming code (see page 50). The other
method is learning the commands from the other brand’s remote
control directly into this remote controller (see page 54).
When in the SAT, CABLE and VCR mode, you may use the
following buttons:
VOL : Adjusts the volume at the DTR-6.2
MUTING: Activates the muting function at the DTR-6.2

Learning a pre-programming code
The remote controller has three learning functions. One is entering
the signal number for a remote controller of another brand that is preprogrammed. Another is a normal learning function that enables the
remote controller to learn the codes from other remote controllers.
And the last is a macro learning function that enables you to program
a series of operations into the remote controller so that the operations
can all be performed at once by pressing one button.

can be preprogrammed

Learning a pre-programming code
By learning a pre-programming code, you can make the RC-441M
remote controller able to operate a product from another brand. The
buttons that are used for operation are given on the next page.
1. Find the 3-digit number for the brand name of the
component that you want to operate in the table on
the next page.
2. Turn on the component that you want to operate (i.e.
DVD, satellite tuner, or television).
3. While holding down the MODE button on the RC441M that you want to program, press the DISPLAY
button, and then release both buttons.
The SEND/LEARN indicator lights when the MODE button is
pressed and turns off when the DISPLAY button is pressed. Wait
until the indicator turns off before releasing both buttons. Then
the SEND/LEARN indicator lights again.
4. Within 30 seconds, enter the 3-digit code number.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly. If the SEND/
LEARN indicator quickly flashes three times, then either a
mistaken 3-digit code was entered or an incorrect operation was
performed. If this occurs, return to step 3.
5. Press the button that you programmed and check if
the system operates correctly.

Caution
With some brand’s components, some buttons may not work
correctly. In this case, program the command separately.

• If the component does not operate properly, return to step 3
and repeat the steps above.
• If it still does not operate properly, then program the
commands one by one to the buttons on the RC-441M remote
controller.
When entering the code of Integra/Onkyo DVD players:
There are three SETTING numbers. Choose the SETTING number
according to how you will be using the DVD player.
No. 601/613: These codes are for operating the Integra/Onkyo DVD
player by pointing the remote controller directly at it, either because
it does not have an z terminal, or it does but you are not using an
z cable and connecting it. First enter 601 and if it does not operate
properly, enter 613.
No. 600: This code is for Integra/Onkyo DVD players that have an
z terminal that you are connecting to the DTR-6.2 with an z
cable. You will then operate the DVD player by pointing the remote
controller at the remote control sensor on the DTR-6.2. You do not
need to enter this code because it is factory preset. However, if the
code has been changed to 601 or 613, then you will need to change it
back to 600.

Note:
If more than one code is given in the table,
try the code one by one until you reach the

Programming procedure
When programming the commands of another remote controller to
the RC-441M remote controller, you must first decide under which
MODE button you want the commands to be linked. In general, you
will select the MODE button that corresponds to the component you
are programming. For example, if you are programming the
functions from a remote controller for a compact disc player, you
would choose the CD MODE button. Then, by pressing the CD
MODE button, the buttons on the RC-441M remote controller will
change to the commands you program here to operate the compact
disc player.
After programming which MODE button to use, you will then
transfer the separate commands from the other remote controller
over to the RC-441M remote controller one at a time. Each
command is then programmed to a different button on the RC-441M
remote controller. Any button is programmable for this step except
for the eight MODE buttons (RCVR, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE,
VCR, and TV), the two MACRO buttons (DIRECT and MODE),
and the LIGHT button.
Even after the commands have been memorized, keep your old
remote controller in a safe place. If for some reason the commands
are lost (e.g., when the batteries run down), it will be necessary to
memorize them once again.
1. Place the remote controller and the remote controller
for the other device facing each other at a distance of
5 to 15 cm (2 to 6 inches) apart.

2. While pressing and holding down the desired MODE
button on the remote controller, press the ENTER
button and then release both buttons.
When you press and hold down the MODE button, the SEND/
LEARN indicator lights. When you press the ENTER button, the
lamp turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp lights
again.
3. Press and release the button on the remote controller
to which you want to transfer the next command.
You may select any button but the eleven ones indicated in the
figure below. When you press the button, the SEND/LEARN
indicator turns off. When you release the button, the indicator
lights again.
If you press the wrong button by mistake, press that same button
again. The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice, and the
remote controller exits the programming mode.

4. Press and hold down the button (that corresponds to
the command you are programming) on the remote
controller of the other device until the SEND/LEARN
lamp on the remote controller flashes twice.
After flashing twice, the SEND/LEARN indicator will light
again.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to transfer all the commands
you desire from the other remote controller and
program them to buttons on the remote controller
under the same MODE.
Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to program commands to a different
MODE (e.g., when programming from a different remote
controller).
6. Press the MODE button that you pressed in step 2 to
complete the programming.
7. Operate the newly programmed buttons to make sure
the learning function was performed properly.

Notes:
• The remote controller codes for Integra/Onkyo compact disc
players, cassette tape decks, DVD players, and mini disc
recorder have already been programmed into buttons on the
remote controller. You may, however, use these buttons to
program the codes for other remote controllers. If you wish to
restore the Integra/Onkyo preset codes after you program new
codes, you must first erase the new codes (see page 56).
• The remote controller has 408 memory slots (8 modes × 51
buttons). Some remote controllers may have more commands
that can be remembered by the remote controller. In such cases,
it will be necessary for you to determine which commands are
more important than others.
• If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the
programming, or if you perform an invalid operation during
programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times
quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode.
Resume from Step 2.
• If a failure occurs during programming, the SEND/LEARN
indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller
exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 3.
• If a failure occurs five times in row during programming, the
remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from
Step 3.
• If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the remote
controller, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six times
quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode.
Try programming under a different MODE button.
• When you want to program a command to a button to which you
have already programmed a command, simply follow the same
procedure given and programming for that button will be
overwritten.
• The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its commands,
as do most other remote controllers. Though most remote
controller codes can be memorized by the remote controller, be
aware that some remote controllers use a system that is quite
different from the remote controller and therefore may not be
able to be programmed.
• Some remote controllers have a single button that performs
multiple functions (for example, the function may change each
time the button is pressed). If this is the case, each function must
be programmed to a separate button on the remote controller.
• Once you have transferred the commands from the other remote
controller, refer to the instruction manual that came with that
product for instructions on how to operate that product.
• Make sure both the remote controller and the other remote
controller have new batteries. If either of them has batteries that
are low, you may not be able to program the commands of the
other remote controller properly into the remote controller.
See page 56 for how to erase the memorized commands from all
buttons.

Using a Macro function
What is a Macro function?

Programming a Macro function

A Macro function enables you to program a series of button
operations (up to 16) on the remote controller into a single button.
For example, to play a compact disc player connected to the DTR6.2 normally, you must perform the following steps:
1. Press the RCVR MODE button.
2. Press the ON button.
3. Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button.
4. Press the CD MODE button.
5. Press the playback (

) button.

By using the macro function, you can perform the above five
operations by only pressing two buttons.

MODE MACRO
CD MODE

RCVR MODE

You can program a different macro into the MODE MACRO button
for each of the eight MODE buttons. The macro is then executed by
pressing the appropriate MODE button and then pressing the MODE
MACRO button. For example, to program the macro described
above into the CD MODE button, perform the steps given below.
1. Press and hold down the desired MODE button (in
this case, the CD MODE button), press the MODE
MACRO button, and then release both buttons.
When you press the CD MODE button, the SEND/LEARN
indicator lights and the CD MODE button lights green. When
you press the MODE MACRO button, the indicator turns off.
When you release the buttons, the indicator flashes and lights
again.
2. Press the operation buttons you wish to program in
order (in this case, press RCVR MODE → ON → CD
(INPUT SELECTOR) → CD MODE → playback ( )
button).
When you press each button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns
off. When you release the button, the indicator lights.
3. Press the MODE MACRO button to complete the
programming.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly.
4. Run the macro to check to see if the macro has been
properly programmed.

Tips:
• If you erase or change the command of a button programmed in
a macro, that operation of that button will no longer work in the
macro. In this case, it will be necessary for you to reprogram the
macro in order to avoid incorrect operation.
• The codes programmed into a macro will be transmitted at an
interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some devices may not be able
to complete one operation in 0.5 seconds and may miss the next
code. In this case, after pressing one operation button, you can
press the same MODE button again before pressing the next
operation button to add another 0.5 seconds between the two
operations.

Notes:
• You may program up to 16 button operations into each macro
function. If you try to program a 17th operation, it will be
ignored, and programming is stopped.
• If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the
programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times
quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode.
Resume from Step 1.
• If you perform an invalid operation during programming, the
SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the
remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from
Step 1.

Running a Macro function
Perform the procedure below to run a macro function that you have
programmed into the remote controller. After programming a macro,
you should always run it at least once to make sure that it has been
programmed properly.
1. Point the remote controller at the DTR-6.2 and press
the CD MODE button.
2. Press the MODE MACRO, and verify that the devices
operate properly.
It may take a while for the macro to finish transmitting, so be
sure to continue pointing the remote controller at the device until
the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off.

Tips:
• If you erase or change the command of a button programmed in
the direct macro, that operation of that button will no longer
work in the macro. In this case, it will be necessary for you to
reprogram the direct macro in order to avoid incorrect operation.
• The codes programmed into a direct macro will be transmitted at
an interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some devices may not be
able to complete one operation in 0.5 seconds and may miss the
next code. In this case, after pressing one operation button, you
can press the same MODE button again before pressing the next
operation button to add another 0.5 seconds between the two
operations.

4. Check to see if the macro has been properly
programmed.
Notes:
• You may program up to 16 button operations into the direct
macro function. If you try to program a 17th operation, it will be
ignored, and programming is stopped.
• If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the
programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times
quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode.
Resume from Step 1.
• If you perform an invalid operation during programming, the
SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the
remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from
Step 1.

Running a Direct Macro function
Perform the procedure below to run a direct macro function that you
have programmed into the remote controller. After programming a
direct macro, you should always run it at least once to make sure that
it has been programmed properly.
1. Point the remote controller at the DTR-6.2 and press
the DIRECT MACRO button.
It may take a while for the macro to finish transmitting, so be
sure to continue pointing the remote controller at the device until
the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off.
