Integra DTR-10.5 User Manual

 

24

 

The DTR-10.5 has two speaker terminal blocks for speaker system [A] and [B]. This allows you to build two 7.1 ch 
home theater systems, and various speaker placements and connections are also available. For example, some channels 
of either speaker system can be used for another room (Zone 2), or you can select one of two speaker systems for 
playback according to the source.
When you use two speaker systems, you have to associate the speakers with the zone (e.g., Main A, Main B, etc.). 
After making the association, for example, pressing the “MAIN A” button on the remote controller will output the 
source from the speakers configured as “Main A.”
Here are some examples of speaker placement and zone association. These examples can be your reference when you 
build your own home theater system. The illustration on the right represents the actual settings displayed corresponding to 
each example. For details on configuring speaker placement and zone association, see page 88.

 

*In the following illustrations, white speakers denote speaker system [A] and gray ones denote speaker system [B].

When you wish to configure 7.1 ch speaker system in the main room A only, the initial setting can be used without 
any modification.

 1-1.Speaker Config 
    =====================

        Speaker A
  a.Front L/R :Main A
  b.Center    :Main A   
  c.Surr L/R  :Main A  
  d.Surr Back
      :Main A 2ch
  e.Subwoofer :Main A
        Speaker B
  f.Front L/R :Main B
  g.Center    :Main B
  h.Surr L/R  :Main B
  i.Surr Back
      :Main B 2ch
  j.Subwoofer :Main B
    
             

• Set all the zone parameters for speaker system [A] to “Main A.” 
• Set all the zone parameters for speaker system [B] to “Main B.” 
• Pressing the [Main A] or [Main B] button causes the sound to be output from 

the speaker system associated with the zone button. Both speaker systems 
cannot be selected simultaneously.

*If you set all the zone parameters for speaker system [B] to “Main A” and play a single 
source, the same audio signal will be output from both speaker systems [A] and [B].

  g.Center    :Main B
  h.Surr L/R  :Main B
  i.Surr Back
      :Powered Zone 2
  j.Subwoofer :Main B
    
             

• Set all the zone parameters for speaker system [A] to “Main A.” Set the zone parameters for 

speaker system [B] to “Main B” and “Zone 2” accordingly. 

• Both main room A and B cannot be used simultaneously. However, while either of the main 

rooms is used, you can enjoy a different source in Zone 2. 

• Note that when you use Zone 2, the surround back speakers for main room A cannot be used 

since Zone 2 uses the surround back speaker circuit for main room A.
