Connecting speakers Before connecting the speakers, it is very important to place them properly for the optimum sound space for your listening pleasure. Be sure to refer to the instruction manuals that came with the speakers during placement and connection. Furthermore, be aware that for surround playback, the configuration and placement of your speakers are both very important.
Caution: Connect only speakers with an impedance between 4 and 16 Ω to the DTR-8.3. If the impedance of even one speaker is between 4 and 6 Ω, be sure to set the speaker impedance setting accordingly (see page 44).
Connecting antennas To use the tuner of DTR-8.3, 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.
Connecting antennas Connecting an FM outdoor antenna Make sure to follow the general rules given below: • 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.

Programming Buttons You can program the remote controller commands by transmitting infrared signals from your existing remote controls to the remote controller’s learning eye. To do this, place the remote controller and the device’s remote controller on a flat surface, 6 to 8 inches(15 to 20 cm ) apart.
Programming Buttons Programming device items Note: When you program a command to a device item, this command is automatically assigned to the corresponding button in the Home menu. 1. Make sure the device tab is active. The device tab is active when the name of a device is displayed. 2.
Labeling Buttons and Menu Items The following elements can be labeled: control panel buttons, Device menu items, macros, macro groups and Left/Right buttons. You cannot label Home menu buttons directly. You have to label them by using the Device menu (see below) Labeling a button 1.
Adding and Moving Devices Adding devices If you have a device that is not provided in the Device menu, you can add it to the remote controller. You cannot add devices to the Home menu directly. You have to add them by using the Device menu.
Delete and restore Delete You can delete control panel buttons and functions associated with a direct-access or a Left/Right button. You can also delete Device menu items and Macro menu items. Home menu buttons cannot be deleted directly. You have to delete them via the Device menu.
Recording Macros and Setting Timers A macro enables you to send a sequence of IR commands using one single button. (USA & Canadian models) By setting a time, you can activate a device at the time you prefer. See page 76. Note: To record a macro or to set a timer, there must be at least one macro group or timer group in the Macro menu.
Recording Macros and Setting Timers 3. Use the arrow buttons to move the delay to the right place. 5. Press the Left button to close the macro. A confirmation screen appears, which allows you to save or cancel the macro. 6.
Using the remote controller with Radio Frequency (USA & Canadian models only) Warning: To use the remote controller with radio frequency (RF), you need an RF Receiver, which is not included in package. By default, the remote controller uses infrared (IR) signals to operate devices.
Using the remote controller with Radio Frequency (USA & Canadian model only) Changing the Extender ID 1. Make sure the Extender ID button is active. The button is active when the button label is white. 2. Press the + and – action buttons to change the Extender ID. The remote controller offers 16 Extender ID’s.
Additional information ChadEdit If you want to personalize your remote controller even more, beyond its standard programming features, ChadEdit is the tool for you to use. ChadEdit is the remote controller’s companion software that you can download from http:// www.onkyousa.com www.integrahometheater.com.
Can I program a button to execute more than one command? No, you can not. However, you can create a macro to execute a sequence of commands (see page 73, 75). How do I program source switching? See “Programming device items” on page 71. How can I edit, label or delete buttons on home panels? You can do this via the Device menu items.
