About Home Theater Enjoying Home Theater The DTR-7.4 has many excellent features to recreate a clear three-dimensional sound image and lively sound movement. This enables you to easily enjoy rich sound effects just like you were in a theater or concert hall at home. For the DTR-7.4, We recommend you to use the THX-certified THX speaker system for THX Surround EX playback. When playing a DVD, you can enjoy sound effects provided by DTS, Dolby Digital or THX, depending on recording formats.
Speaker Placement Surround back speakers • Place these speakers so that their height is 3 feet (1 meter) higher than that of the listener’s ears. 10 • When using surround back left and right speakers, place them behind the listener so that the angles between the lines from each speaker to the listener and 8 9 a line straight back from the listener are about 30 degrees.
Connecting Speakers • Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the DTR-7.4. • Connect either your surround back speakers or the speakers you will be using in the remote zone (Zone 2) to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals (See page 66). After determining the layout of your speaker system, it is now necessary to connect the speakers correctly to your DTR-7.4. You can also use banana plugs/connectors.
AV Cables and Connectors Rear optical jack • Insert all plugs and connectors securely. Improper connections can result in noise, poor performance, or damage to the equipment. Improper connection Inserted completely • Do not bind audio/video connection cables with power cords and speaker cables. Doing so may adversely affect the picture and sound quality. Facilities and Connections • Always refer to the instructions that came with the component that you are connecting.
Connecting to Audio/Video Equipment Here is an explanation of typical ways to connect various components to the DTR-7.4. 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 those of your components and their features to ascertain which method of connection is best.
