For detailed information, see the pages in parentheses.

A COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1, 2, 3 (28, 30, 32)
These component video inputs can be used to connect AV components with component video outputs,
such as DVD players.

B AM ANTENNA (24)
These push terminals are for connecting an AM
antenna.

C COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (27)
This component video output can be used to connect a TV or projector with a component video
input.

D FM ANTENNA (24)
This jack is for connecting an FM antenna.

E RS232 (38)
This port is for connecting the AV receiver to home
automation equipment and external controllers.

F 12V TRIGGER OUT A/B/C (73, 78)
These jacks can be connected to the 12-volt trigger
inputs on other components. These trigger outputs
can each be assigned to an input so that when that
input is selected, a 12-volt trigger signal is output.

G IR IN/OUT (78)
These jacks are for connecting the remote sensors
included with multiroom kits (sold separately).

H A-BUS

ZONE 2 OUT: Use CAT-5 (eight conductor
twisted) cable to connect directly from the
receiver’s A-BUS RI45 Hub to an A-BUS keypad.
Warning:
DO NOT connect A-BUS output 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’s 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.

I MONITOR OUT (27)
The S-Video or composite video jack should be
connected to a video input on your TV or projector.

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 auto former based volume controls.

Put the cover onto the remote controller
and slide it shut.

Notes:
• The batteries should last for about six months,
although this will vary with usage.
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try
replacing the batteries.
• Don’t mix new and old batteries or different types of
batteries.
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long
time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from
leakage or corrosion.
• Expired batteries should be removed as soon as possible to prevent damage from leakage or corrosion.

Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV
receiver is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in
mind when installing.
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in
the same room, or the AV receiver is installed close to
equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote controller may not work reliably.
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote controller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvertently, thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the AV
receiver is installed in a rack behind colored glass
doors. Keep this in mind when installing.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obstacle between it and the AV receiver’s remote control
sensor.

About Home Theater
Enjoying Home Theater
Thanks to the AV receiver’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your
own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. With DVDs you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital. With
analog and digital TV you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx or Onkyo’s own DSP surround listening modes.
With the DTR-6.5 you can enjoy DVDs that feature THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).

Front left and right speakers
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid
anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about
ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle,
with the listener at the apex.

Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front left
and right speakers, making sound
movements distinct and providing a
full sound image. In movies it’s used
mainly for dialog.
Position it close to your TV (preferably
on top) facing forward at about ear
level, or at the same height as the
front left and right speakers.

Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of
the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel.
The volume and quality of the bass output
from your subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening room, and
your listening position. In general, a good
bass sound can be obtained by installing the
subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third
the width of the wall, as shown.
Tip: To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some
music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofer at various positions
within the room, and choose the one that
provides the most satisfying results.

Surround left and right
speakers
These speakers are used for
precise sound positioning and
to add realistic ambience.
Position them at the sides of
the listener, or slightly behind,
about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm)
above ear level. Ideally they
should be equidistant from the
listener.

Surround back left and right speakers
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES
Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, and THX Surround EX (DTR-6.5 only). They
enhance the realism of surround sound and improve sound localization
behind the listener. Position them behind the listener about 2–3 feet (60–
100 cm) above ear level.
For the DTR-6.5, THX recommends that
they be placed equidistant from the listener,
creating a triangle, and that the angle at the
apex of the triangle is about 60 degrees.
Make sure that the listening position is within
60˚
the range of the speakers.

AV Connection Color Coding

About AV Connections

RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red,
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect rightchannel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”).
Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and
outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to
connect composite video inputs and outputs.

• Before making any AV connections, read the manuals
supplied with your other AV components.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed
and double-checked all AV connections.

Optical Digital Jacks
The AV receiver’s optical digital jacks have shutter-type
covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and
close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.

Right (red)

Analog audio

Left (white)
(Yellow)

Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical
plug straight when inserting and removing.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid
bass.
To get the best from your surround-sound system, you
need to set the speaker settings by using the supplied
setup microphone (see page 39).

Using Dipole Speakers
You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and
right and surround back left and right speakers. Dipole
speakers output the same sound in two directions.
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them
to indicate how they should be positioned. The surround
left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that
their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the surround left and right dipolar speakers should be positioned
so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.

Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• American model only: Only connect speakers with
an impedance of 6 ohms or higher. If you use speakers
with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high
volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in
protection circuit may be activated.
• Other models: You can connect speakers with an
impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected speakers is 4 ohms or
more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure to set the Minimum Speaker Impedance to “4 ohms” (see page 44).
If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use
the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of
time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before
making any connections.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals to only positive
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way
around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound
unnatural.
• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the
positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the AV
receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one
cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the
AV receiver.
• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Strip about 5/8" (15 mm)
of insulation from the
ends of the speaker
cables, and twist the bare
wires tightly, as shown.

Unscrew the terminal.

Fully insert the bare
wires.

Screw the terminal tight.

5/8" (15 mm)

The following illustration shows which speaker should
be connected to each pair of terminals.
If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect
it to the left (L) SURROUND BACK SPEAKERS terminals.

Connecting Antenna
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor
FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect
commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.
The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without
any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna
to use the tuner.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 25).

Connecting the AM Loop Antenna
The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use
only.

Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting
the tabs into the base, as shown.

Connect both wires of the AM loop
antenna to the AM push terminals, as
shown.
(The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so
they can be connected either way around).
Make sure that the wires are attached securely and
that the push terminals are gripping the bare
wires, not the insulation.

into the jack.

■ Other Models
Push

Insert wire

Release

Insert the plug fully
into the jack.

Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll
need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust
the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.

Use thumbtacks or something similar to
fix the FM antenna into position.

Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll
need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust
the position of the AM antenna to achieve the best
possible reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from
your AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power
cords.
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied
indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 25).

Thumbtacks, etc.

Caution: Be careful that you don’t injure yourself
when using thumbtacks.

Notes:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an
attic or loft.
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line
of sight to your local FM transmitter.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated
well away from power lines and other high-voltage
equipment.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside
horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained
indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note
that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

■ Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as
shown.

Which Connections Should I Use?
The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format
you choose will depend on the formats supported by your other components. Use the following sections as a guide.
For video components, you must make two connections—one for audio, one for video.

Video Connection Formats

Audio Connection Formats

Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by
using any one of the following video connection formats:
composite video, S-Video, or component video, the
latter offering the best picture quality.
A video signal connected to a V or S IN jack will be converted—composite video to S-Video or S-Video to composite video—but only for the MONITOR OUT jacks,
not the VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2 OUT V and S jacks.
Note: The DTR-6.5/5.5 can be set to upconvert composite video and S-Video input signals and output them
from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (see page 43).

Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by
using any of the following audio connection formats:
analog, optical, coaxial, or multichannel.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that
the AV receiver doesn’t convert between them. For
example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or
COAXIAL input are not output by the analog TAPE
OUT.

If your recorder has a digital input, by connecting it to
the AV receiver’s optical DIGITAL OUT jack, you can
record digitally. (With the DTR-6.5, you can use its
coaxial DIGITAL OUT jack.) However, because the AV
receiver doesn’t convert analog input signals to digital
and vice versa, only input signals connected to a DIGITAL IN jack can be recorded in this way.

About the Onscreen Setup Menus
The AV receiver is configured using onscreen setup menus, which are displayed on the TV that’s connected to either of
the MONITOR OUT jacks. Because they appear on your TV, they’re large and clear, making setup a breeze.
Settings are divided into two groups: Basic Setup and Advanced Setup.
When you’ve configured the settings on the Basic Setup menu correctly, you’ll be ready to enjoy movies and music. The
Advanced Setup menu contains more detailed settings for an even better sound and increased enjoyment.

This setting is set automatically by the Automatic

Here you can adjust the level of each speaker with the

same at the listening position.
Notes:
• The speakers cannot be calibrated while the output of
the AV receiver is muted, while a pair of headphones
is connected, or when using the multichannel input.
• Because the DTR-6.5 supports THX, the test tone is
output at the standard level of 0 dB (absolute volume setting 82). If you normally listen at volume
settings below this, be careful because the test tone
will be much louder.

About the Listening Modes

Dolby Pro Logic II Music

With its built-in surround-sound decoders and DSP programs, the AV receiver can transform your home listening room into a movie theater or concert hall.
If you connect two surround back speakers (i.e., left and
right), both will be used for 6.1-channel surround playback.

Use this mode to add 5.1 surround to stereo sources such
as music CDs and DVDs.

The AV receiver’s surround indicators show which
speakers are active in each listening mode.

Center

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

If you’ve connected surround back speakers to the AV
receiver, Dolby Pro Logic IIx allows you to enjoy 7.1channel playback from 2-channel or 5.1-channel music
or movies. Dolby Pro Logic IIx provides a well defined,
natural multichannel surround-sound experience, putting the listener in a seamless envelope of sound. The
added drama and natural sound enhance the listening
experience with CDs, movies, and games.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx has three modes of operation:
Movie mode for movies, Music mode for listening to
music, and Game mode for use with games consoles
with 2-channel stereo outputs.
Dolby Digital

Direct

The selected input source is output by the front left and
right speakers only, with minimal processing for a pure
sound.

With this format you can experience the
same superb sound that you get at a movie
theater or concert hall. Use this mode with DVDs that
bear the Dolby Digital logo.

Pure Audio

Dolby Digital EX

As an extension of Direct mode, this mode turns off the
display, turns off the power to the video circuitry, and
minimizes any other possible noise sources, providing a
high fidelity sound that’s true to the original. (Since the
power to the video circuitry is turned off, no video signals are output while this mode is selected.)
Stereo

The selected input source is processed as a stereo signal
and output by the front left and right speakers and the
subwoofer.
Mono

Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono
soundtrack, or to select multilingual soundtracks
recorded in the left and right channels of some movies.
It can also be used when playing a DVD or other source
with multiplexed audio, such as a karaoke DVD.
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)

With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround
sound even with only two or three speakers. This works
by controlling how sounds reach the listener’s left and
right ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too
much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode
in an environment with little or no natural reverb.

With an added surround-back channel,
this 6.1 channel format offers a heightened
sense of space, for added realism with moving sounds,
such as those that rotate 360 degrees or pass overhead.
Dolby Digital EX material can also be played on conventional 5.1 channel systems, in which case the surroundback channel audio is split between the surround left and
right channels. Use this mode with DVDs that have a
5.1-channel soundtrack and bear the Dolby Digital logo.
DTS

This digital surround format offers a surround sound experience with exceptional
fidelity. It uses compressed digital audio
data, with six discrete channels (5.1), and the
ability to handle large amounts of audio data while
remaining faithful to the original. DTS provides very
high-quality sound. You’ll need a DTS compatible DVD
player in order to enjoy DTS material. Use this mode
with DVDs, LDs, or CDs that bear the DTS logo.
DTS 96/24

This mode provides higher audio quality.
Use it with CDs, DVDs, and LDs that bear
the DTS 96/24 logo.

Dolby Pro Logic II Movie

DTS-ES Discrete

Use this mode with DVDs and videos that bear the Dolby Surround
logo or TV programs that feature Dolby Surround. You
can also use this mode with stereo movies or TV programs and the AV receiver will create a 5.1 surround mix
from the 2-channel stereo.

This is DTS with an added surround back
channel for 6.1 surround sound. Use it with
program material recorded in DTS 6.1 format. With the
additional surround back channel, this format offers 6.1
fully independent digital channels, providing a realistic
sense of movement and space. Use it with program material recorded in DTS 6.1, such as CDs, DVDs, or LDs
that bear the DTS-ES logo.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

DTS-ES Matrix

This is DTS with an added surround back
channel for 6.1 surround sound. Use it to
provide 6.1 channel surround playback
with program material recorded in DTS 5.1
format. Since DTS 5.1 program material
contains surround back channel information, all channels can be reconstructed for 6.1-channel
playback. Use this mode with CDs, DVDs, or LDs that
bear the DTS-ES or DTS logo.
Neo:6

This mode provides 6.1-channel playback from 2-channel sources. It offers six full-bandwidth channels with
excellent separation. There are two modes of operation:
Cinema mode for movies, and Music mode for listening
to music.
Cinema mode simulates the realistic sense of movement
that you get with 6.1-channel surround sound sources.
Use this mode with videos, DVDs, and TV programs that
feature stereo sound.
Music mode uses the surround channels to simulate a
natural sound field that cannot be produced with conventional stereo. Use this mode with stereo material such as
music CDs.
THX Cinema (DTR-6.5 only)

Orchestra

Suitable for classical or operatic music. The center
speaker is turned off and the surround channels are
emphasized in order to widen the stereo image. In addition, it simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.
Unplugged

Suitable for acoustic instrument sounds, vocals, and jazz
music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simulates the stage-front experience.
Studio-Mix

Suitable for rock and pop music. Listening to music in
this mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful
acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.
TV Logic

Adds realistic acoustics to TV programs produced in a
TV studio. In addition, it adds surround effects to the
entire sound and adds clarity to voices.

This mode is ideal for enjoying music programs or TV
sports programs. It provides a natural surround sound
with movement in the surround back speakers, creating
a sound with a live feeling to it.

THX Ltd, founded by George Lucas, develops quality
assurance programs for ensuring that movies are reproduced in movie theaters and home theaters just as the
director intended. THX technology is used to eliminate
spatial errors that can occur when a movie soundtrack is
adapted for use in smaller home theaters, ensuring faithful reproduction.
This mode is ideal for watching a movie with a
soundtrack recorded and edited especially for playback
in the spaciousness of a typical movie theater.

Ideal for background music. The front, surround, and
surround back channels create a stereo image that fills
the entire listening area.

THX Surround EX (DTR-6.5 only)

Full Mono

This format was jointly developed by Dolby Laboratories and THX Ltd. especially for home theater use. It’s
based on Dolby Digital EX technology. It adds an extra
surround channel to the existing front left, front right,
center, surround left, surround right, and LFE (subwoofer) channels, making a total of 6.1 channels. (For
best results with DVDs that feature THX Surround EX,
use a THX-certified THX speaker system.)

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for use with old movies and other
mono sound sources. The center speaker outputs the
sound as it is, while reverb is applied to the sound output
by the other speakers, giving presence to even mono
material.
All Ch Stereo

In this mode, all speakers output mono audio, so the
music sounds the same regardless of where you are.

4-1. Mono
■ a. Output Channel
This setting determines which speakers are used to output mono audio when the Mono listening mode is used.
L/R: Mono audio is output from the front left and
right speakers (default).
Center: Mono audio is output from the center speaker.
■ b. Academy (DTR-6.5 only)
Early movies had a mono soundtrack that suffered from
audible hiss and a poor high-frequency response due to
the quality of the film. To improve matters, the high-frequencies were boosted before being recorded onto film,
and then attenuated to their original levels during playback in the movie theater. Some old movies have been
transferred to newer distribution media without the high
frequencies being attenuated, creating a harsh sound
with pronounced hiss. With the Academy Filter, which is
based on the playback techniques used in those days, you
can attenuate those high-frequencies to their original levels and enjoy the movie as it was intended to be heard.
On: Academy Filter on.
Off: Academy Filter off (default).

4-2. PLIIx/Neo:6
If no surround back speakers are connected, this item
will be “PLII/Neo:6” instead of “PLIIx/Neo:6.”
■ a. Panorama
With this function, you can broaden the width of the
front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Music listening mode.
On: Panorama function on.
Off: Panorama function off (default).
■ b. Dimension
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward
or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music
listening mode. The default setting is 3. Higher settings
move the sound field forward. Lower settings move it
backward.
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much
surround sound, move the sound field forward to
improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image
feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround
sound, move it backward.

of the center channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to
7 (default is 3).
■ d. Center Image
The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel
surround sound from 2-channel (stereo) sources. With
this setting, you can specify by how much the front left
and right channel output is attenuated in order to create
the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default
is 3).
When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is
attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the
sound is located centrally. This setting works well when
the listening position is considerably off center. When
set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenuated, maintaining the original stereo balance.

4-3. Enhance, 4-4. Orchestra, 4-5.
Unplugged, 4-6. Studio-Mix, 4-7. TV Logic
& 4-8. Mono Movie
These settings apply to the Onkyo original DSP listening
modes.
■ a. Front Effect
With this setting, you can turn off the reverb for the front
speakers. This is useful when playing live material that
already contains live reverberation and the reverb added
by the DSP listening mode simply blurs the original
sound. When the Front Effect is turned off, no reverb is
added to the front left, right, and center speakers and the
original reverberation can be heard as it is.
On: Front Effect on (default).
Off: Front Effect off.
■ b. Reverb Level
With this setting, you can adjust the amount of reverb to
suit your listening environment, source material, and so
on. The available settings are: Low, Middle (default),
and High.
■ c. Reverb Time
With this setting, you can adjust the reverb time to suit
your listening environment, source material, and so on.
The available settings are: Short, Middle (default), and
Long.

■ c. Center Width
With this function, you can adjust the width of the sound
from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic
IIx Music listening mode. If you’re using a center
speaker, with Dolby Pro Logic IIx, the center channel
sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you’re not
using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be
distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a
phantom center). This setting controls the front left,
right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight

4-9. Theater-Dimensional
These settings apply to the Theater-Dimensional listening mode.
■ a. Listening Angle
With this setting, you can specify the angle of the front
left and right speakers relative to the listening position.
Processing for the Theater-Dimensional listening mode
is based on this setting. Ideally, the front left and right
speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings.

Assigning Listening Modes to Input
Sources
You can assign a default listening mode to each input
source that will be selected automatically when you

20/40˚

20º: Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.
40º: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees

■ b. Center
With this setting, you can specify whether or not you’re
using a center speaker. If you are, the center channel
sound will be output by the center speaker when using
the Theater-Dimensional listening mode. This reduces
the workload of the front left and right speakers, and creates a more articulate sound space. In this case, the settings for the distance between the listening position and
each speaker, and the level of each speaker are important, but making these settings is a breeze with the Automatic Speaker Setup function (see page 39).
On: Select if using a center speaker.
Off: Select if not using a center speaker (default).
■ c. Front Expand
With the Front Expander function, you can broaden the
width of the front stereo image. This can be useful with
narrow listening angles of 20 degrees or less.
On: Front Expander function on.
Off: Front Expander function off (default).
■ d. Dialog Enhance
With this function, you can improve the clarity of the
center channel, which usually contains dialog.
On: Dialog Enhance function on.
Off: Dialog Enhance function off (default).
■ e. Virtual Surr Level
With this setting, you can adjust the level of virtual surround sound from –3 dB to +3 dB (default is 0 dB). If the
clarity is poor, or the effect sounds unnatural, you may
be able to improve it by lowering this setting.

you select PCM, only noise will be heard.

component to be turned on, you can avoid the “thump”
noise that’s sometimes heard when a source component
is turned on.
The delay determines how long after the input source is
changed on the AV receiver the trigger signal is output,
and can be set to 0 sec, 1 sec, 2 sec, or 3 sec. When set to
0 sec, the trigger signal is output as soon as the input
source is changed.

Using the 12V Trigger

Using the Remote Control in Zone 2

When the AV receiver’s 12 V TRIGGER OUT A/B/C
jack is connected to the 12 V TRIGGER IN jack on a
connected component, the AV receiver can be configured
so that the component is turned on automatically when
Zone 2 is used. See page 73 for details.

Adjusting the Bass & Treble for Zone2
You can adjust the bass and treble for Zone2.

To use the remote controller to control the AV receiver
from Zone 2, you’ll need one of the following commercially available multiroom remote control kits:
• Multiroom Kits such as those made by Niles and Xantech.
These kits can also be used when the AV receiver is not
in line of sight of the remote controller, for example,
when it’s installed inside a cabinet.

Using a Multiroom Kit with Zone 2

In the following diagram, an IR receiver picks up the
infrared signals from the remote controller in Zone 2 and
feeds them to the AV receiver in the main room via the
connecting block.

Learning Commands from Another
Remote Controller

The AV receiver’s remote controller can learn the commands of other remote controllers simply by pointing
them at each other. For example, by transmitting the Play
command from your CD player’s remote controller, the
remote controller can learn it and then transmit the same
command when its Play [ ] button is pressed in CD
mode.
This is convenient when you want to add commands to
buttons after entering a remote control code (page 80).

Point the remote controllers at
each other, about 2 to 6 inches
(5–15 cm) apart, and then, on the
other remote controller, press the
button whose command you
want to learn.

While holding down the Remote
Mode button that you want to
learn the command, press the
[On] button.

On the AV receiver’s remote controller, press the button you want
to learn the new command.

Notes:
• The following buttons cannot be taught new commands: Remote Mode, Macro [1], [2], [3], TV [
],
TV [Input], TV CH [+]/[–], TV VOL [ ]/[ ].
• The AV receiver’s remote controller can learn up to
approximately 150 commands. However, the commands of some remote controllers may use a lot of
memory, in which case, this will be reduced.
• By default, the AV receiver’s remote controller knows
the commands for controlling an Integra CD player,
cassette deck, DVD player, and MD player (e.g., Play,
Stop, Pause, etc., buttons). These buttons can learn
new commands, although the defaults will be restored
if the remote controller is reset.
• To learn a new command for a button that has already
learned one, simply repeat this procedure.
• Like most remote controllers, the AV receiver’s
remote controller uses infrared. Commands from
remote controllers that don’t use infrared cannot be
learnt.
• When the remote controller’s batteries expire, all
learned commands will be lost and will have to be
learned all over again, so don’t discard your other
remote controllers.

DTR-6.5,5.5_En.book Page 89 Wednesday, July 28, 2004 9:07 AM

Controlling Other Components—Continued
Using Macros
With the Macro function, you can program the remote
controller’s Macro buttons to perform a sequence of
actions with just one button press. For example, normally you need to perform the following actions to play
a CD:
1. Press the Remote Mode [Receiver] button to
select Receiver mode.
2. Press the [On] button to turn on the AV receiver.
3. Press the [CD] Input Selector button to select the
CD input source.
4. Press the Remote Mode [CD] button to select the
CD remote controller mode.
5. Press the Play [ ] button to start playback on the
CD player.
With the Macro function, you can program one of the
Macro buttons to perform all five actions in one go.

Making Macros
There are three Macro buttons, and each button can be
programmed with a different macro in each remote controller mode. Each macro can perform up to eight
actions.

On the remote controller, press
the buttons whose actions you
want to program into the macro
in the order you want them performed.
For example, to program the previous
CD example into a macro, press the following buttons: Remote Mode
[Receiver], [On], Input Selector [CD],
Remote Mode [CD], Play [ ].

When you’ve finished, press the
Macro button again.

Notes:
• If after programming a macro you teach one of the
buttons in that macro a new command, then the macro
will no longer work properly. In this case, you must
program the macro again.

Running Macros
Programmed macros can be run as follows.

Troubleshooting
If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a
solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue
yourself, contact the dealer from whom you purchased
this unit.

Power
Can’t turn on the AV receiver?
• Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into
the wall outlet.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five
seconds or more, then plug it in again.
The AV receiver turns off as soon as it’s turned
on?
• The amp protection circuit has been activated.
Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immediately and contact the dealer from whom you purchased
this unit.

Audio
There’s no sound, or it’s very quiet?
• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed
in all the way (page 21).
• Make sure that the inputs and outputs of all components are connected properly (page 21).
• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is
correct, and that the bare wires are in contact with
metal part of each speaker terminal (page 23)
• Make sure that the input source is properly selected
(page 53).
• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.
• Check the volume. It can be set to MIN, 1 through 99,
or MAX (page 53). The AV receiver is designed for
home theater enjoyment. It has a wide volume range,
allowing precise adjustment.
• If the MUTING indicator is shown on the display,
press the remote controller’s [Muting] button to
unmute the AV receiver (page 54).
• While a pair of headphones is connected to the Phones
jack, no sound is output by the speakers (page 54).
• Check the digital audio output setting on the connected device. On some games consoles, such as those
that support DVD, the default setting is off.
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an
audio output format from a menu.
• For the DTR-5.5, if your turntable doesn’t have a
built-in phono preamp, you must connect one between
it and the AV receiver. If your turntable uses an MC
cartridge, you must connect an MC head amp, or an
MC transformer and phono equalizer.
• For the DTR-6.5, if your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must connect an MC head amp or an MC
transformer (see page 36).

• Make sure that none of the connecting cables are bent,
twisted, or damaged.
• Not all listening modes use all speakers (page 60).
• Specify the speaker distances (page 48) and adjust the
individual speaker levels (page 50).
• Make sure that the speaker setup microphone is not
still connected.
Only the front speakers produce sound?
• When the Stereo listening mode is selected, only the
front speakers and subwoofer produce sound.
• When the Direct or Pure Audio listening mode is
selected, only the front speakers produce sound.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 46).
Only the center speaker produces sound?
• If you use the Pro Logic IIx Movie or Pro Logic IIx
Music listening mode with a mono source, such as an
AM radio station or mono TV program, the sound is
concentrated in the center speaker.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 46).
The surround speakers produce no sound?
• When the Stereo, Direct, or Pure Audio listening mode
is selected, the surround speakers produce no sound
(page 60).
• Depending on the source and current listening mode,
not much sound may be produced by the surround
speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 46).
The center speaker produces no sound?
• When the Mono, Stereo, Direct, Pure Audio, or
Orchestra listening mode is selected, the center
speaker produces no sound (page 61).
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 46).
The surround back speakers produce no
sound?
• The surround back speakers are not used with all listening modes. Select another listening mode
(page 60).
• Not much sound may be produced by the surround
back speakers with some sources.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 46).

DTR-6.5,5.5_En.book Page 91 Wednesday, July 28, 2004 9:07 AM

Troubleshooting—Continued
The subwoofer produces no sound?
• When you play source material that contains no information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces
no sound.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly
(page 46).
There’s no sound with a certain signal format?
• Check the digital audio output setting on the connected device. On some games consoles, such as those
that support DVD, the default setting is off.
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an
audio output format from a menu.
• Depending on the input signal, some listening modes
cannot be selected (page 59).
Can’t select the DTS-ES Discrete/Matrix or THX
Surround EX (DTR-6.5 only) listening modes?
• These modes cannot be selected when no surround
back speakers are connected, or the Zone 2 speakers
are being used.
Can’t get 6.1 playback?
• If no surround back speakers are connected, or the
Zone 2 speakers are being used, 6.1 playback is not
possible.
The volume cannot be set to 99?
• When the levels of all speakers have been calibrated
(page 50), the maximum volume setting may change.
Noise can be heard?
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power
cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the
audio performance, so don’t do it.
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try
repositioning your cables.
The Late Night function doesn’t work?
• Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital
(page 62).
The DVD analog multichannel input doesn’t
work?
• Check the DVD analog multichannel input connections (page 29).
• To select the DVD analog multichannel input, press
the [Multi CH] input selector button.
• Check the audio output settings on your DVD player.

About DTS signals
• When DTS program material ends and the DTS bitstream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listening mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to
prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or
fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your
player from DTS to PCM, because the AV receiver
does not switch formats immediately, you may not
hear any sound, in which case you should stop your
player for about three seconds, and then resume playback.
• With some CD and LD players, you won’t be able to
playback DTS material properly even though your
player is connected to a digital input on the AV
receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream
has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate,
or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver
doesn’t recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such
cases, you may hear noise.
• When playing DTS program material, using the pause,
fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player
may produce a short audible noise. This is not a malfunction.

Video
There’s no picture?
• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed
in all the way (page 21).
• Make sure that each video component is properly connected.
• If your video component is connected to a component
video input, your TV must be connected to the component video output (page 26).
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which
the AV receiver is connected is selected.
• While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the
video circuits are turned off and the AV receiver outputs no video signals.
The onscreen menus don’t appear?
• Make sure that the video settings are correct
(page 43).
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which
the AV receiver is connected is selected.
• Depending on the display device, when the “b. Scan
Mode” setting on the “6-3. OSD Setup” menu is set to
Non-Interlaced, the onscreen setup menus may not
appear. If this happens, use the AV receiver’s display
and change that setting to Interlaced.

Troubleshooting—Continued
Tuner
Reception is noisy, FM stereo reception is
noisy, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t
appear?
• Relocate your antenna.
• Move the AV receiver away from your TV or computer.
• Listen to the station in mono (page 56).
• When listening to an AM station, operating the remote
controller may cause noise.
• Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.
• Concrete walls weaken radio signals.
• If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor
antenna.

Remote Controller
The remote controller doesn’t work?
• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the correct polarity (page 13).
• Install new batteries. Don’t mix different types of batteries, or old and new batteries (page 13).
• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far
away from the AV receiver, and that there’s no
obstruction between the remote controller and the AV
receiver’s remote control sensor (page 13).
• Make sure that the AV receiver is not subjected to
direct sunshine or inverter-type fluorescent lights.
Relocate if necessary.
• If the AV receiver is installed in a rack or cabinet with
colored-glass doors, the remote controller may not
work reliably when the doors are closed.
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote controller mode (page 13).
• When using the remote controller to control other
manufacturers’ AV components, some buttons may
not work as expected.
• Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control
code.
Can’t control other components?
• If it’s an Integra component, make sure that the
cable and analog audio cable are connected properly.
Connecting only an
cable won’t work (page 37).
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct remote controller mode (page 14).
• If you connect an MD recorder or CD recorder to the
TAPE jacks, be sure to set make the necessary setting
(pages 52 and 80).
• When learning commands, make sure that the transmitting ends of both remote controllers are pointing at
each other.

• Are you trying to learn from a remote controller that
cannot be used for learning? Some commands cannot
be learnt, especially those that transmit several
instructions with a single button press.
• The wrong remote control code has been entered.
• The entered remote control code may not be correct. If
more than one code is listed, try each one.
• With some AV components, certain buttons may not
work as expected, and some may not work at all.
• To control Integra components, point the remote controller at the AV receiver.
• To control another manufacturer’s component, point
the remote controller at that component.

Recording
Can’t record?
• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is
selected (e.g., digital or analog).

Zone 2
Zone 2 has turned off?
• Was the Sleep function set? The Sleep function turns
off Zone 2 as well as the AV receiver. To set the Sleep
function for Zone 2 only, see page 77.
There’s no sound?
• Since the Zone 2 function and the REC OUT outputs
use the same circuitry, you cannot use Zone 2 and
record at the same time. When the [Rec Out] button is
pressed, Zone 2 is turned off.
• Only components connected to analog inputs can be
played in Zone 2.

DTR-6.5,5.5_En.book Page 93 Wednesday, July 28, 2004 9:07 AM

Troubleshooting—Continued
Others
The sound changes when I connect my headphones?
• When a pair of headphones is connected, the listening
mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already set to Stereo,
Direct, or Pure Audio. When you disconnect the headphones, the previous listening mode will be resumed.
The speaker volume cannot be set as required?
• When the Automatic Speaker Setup function is used,
or the volume is adjusted on the onscreen setup
menus, the maximum possible volume setting may
change.
The speaker distance cannot be set as
required?
• In some cases, corrected values suitable for home theater use may be set automatically.
The display doesn’t work?
• The display is turned off when the Pure Audio listening mode is selected.
• Actions are not displayed on the TV or projector that’s
connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT.
How do I change the language of a multiplex
source?
• Use the “a. Input Channel” setting on the “3-5. Multiplex” menu to select Main or Sub (page 67).

The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations,
severe interference, noise from an external source, or
static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely
event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it
back in again.
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD
rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by
the unit’s malfunction. Before you record important
data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.
Resetting the AV receiver to its factory defaults
To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it on
and, while holding down the [VIDEO 1] button, press
the [Standby/On] button. “CLEAR” will appear on the
display and the AV receiver will enter Standby mode.
The AV receiver uses a battery-less memory backup
system in order to retain radio presets and other settings when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power failure. Although no batteries are required, the AV receiver
must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the
backup system.
