Using Listening Mode
Listening Modes
The DTR-5.1’s surround sound enables you to enjoy the
presence of a movie theater or concert hall in your
room.
Before using a listening mode, make sure the Speaker
Setup parameters have been set (refer to page 14).
Once the parameters have been set, it is not necessary
to set them again.
The configuration of the speakers are very important for
the surround sound. Refer to “connecting speakers” on
page 10.
DOLBY DIGITAL Surround,
DTS (Digital Theater System) Surround
This 5.1-channel digital surround format enables you to
individually record and play five full-range (20Hz–20kHz)
channels (left and right front, center, two surround
channels) plus an LFE channel (Low Frequency Effect)
for the low-range effect sound. It will create a realistic
sound that could be heard in the theaters and concert
halls.
DOLBY DIGITAL: Select this option when you play a DVD
video that has a mark.
DTS: Select this option when you play a DVD player,
laser disc, or CD that has a mark.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC
This surround format consists of four channels (left and
right front, center, and monaural surround channels)
and emphasizes the center channel. This format is very
effective for panning music, conversation, and three-
dimensional sound movement output from three front
channels. It also simulates the atmosphere and sur-
round effects of the sound reflected from the side and
rear walls of the theater. Select this option when you
play a VHS, VHS Hi-Fi, laser disc, or DVD video that has a
mark.
Integra’s listening modes
The DTR-5.1 offers the following special Integra listening
modes for the sources other than Dolby Digital and DTS
sounds.
ORCHESTRA: This mode is suitable for classics and
opera music. The center channel is cut and the sur-
round channels are emphasized to widen the stereo
image. It will simulate a natural reverberation that
can be created in a large hall.
UNPLUGGED: This mode is suitable for acoustic instru-
mental sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasiz-
ing the front stereo image, it will simulate the
acoustics in front of the stage.
STUDIO-MIX: This mode is suitable for rock and popu-
lar music. Lively sounds with a powerful acoustic
image will make you feel as if you are in a club.
TV LOGIC: This mode offers a realistic acoustics of a
TV program being aired in the TV studio. It enhances
the entire surround sound and clarity of conversation.
5CH STEREO: This mode is useful for background
music. The front and surround channels will create a
stereo image.

round mode. All input sound is output from the front
speakers.

Notes on DTS
1. If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the
“ANALOG” setting is selected on the DTR-5.1, 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 select “DIGITAL”
and use the digital input jacks (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) to
connect the DTS source. (Refer to “Assigning the digi-
tal input/Selecting the input signal format” on page
18.)
2. If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the
“DIGITAL” setting is selected, you may hear a noise for
a short while until the DTS decoder recognizes the DTS
encoded signal and starts operating. This is not a mal-
function.
3. If you press the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player
while playing a DTS source, a short noise may be
heard. This is not a malfunction.
4. The DTS indicator on the DTR-5.1 lights up while it plays
the DTS source. When playback concludes and the
DTS signal transmission stops, the DTR-5.1 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 switches from the
DTS signal to the PCM signal immediately, the PCM sig-
nal may not be played. In this case, stop the playback
of the source on the player for about three seconds,
then resume playback.
5. Some CD players and LD players may be unable to
play DTS sources correctly even if you connect the
player to the DTR-5.1 digitally. This is because the digi-
tal signal has been processed (such as the output
level, sampling frequency, frequency response, etc.),
and the DTR-5.1 cannot recognize the signal as DTS
data. Therefore, you may hear noise when you play a
DTS source while processing the signal.
6. The Rec Out jacks of the DTR-5.1 output analog audio.
Do not record CDs or LDs that support DTS using these
jacks. Otherwise, you will record a DTS encoded signal
as noise.
