Integra DTR-10.5 User Manual

Listening modes on the DTR-10.5 enable you to enjoy 
movie theater or concert hall quality sounds in your 
room. The DTR-10.5 provides the following listening 
modes. Before playing a source in optimal sound, be 
sure to complete the Speaker/Output Setup (See pages 
88 - 91). 

 

This mode allows you to enjoy pure sounds straight from 
an original source. Every channel of the audio input 
source will be output “as is” to respective channels. 

 

In addition to the Direct mode, playback of music more 
faithful to the original sounds is enabled because the 
display window is turned off to minimize noise sources 
(the power supply to the video circuitry is also turned 
off, so nothing is displayed on the screen). 

 

Sounds are output from the right and left front speakers, 
and the subwoofer. 

 

This mode is suitable for playing old movies recorded 
in monaural sound, or for playing the right and left 
channels separately on bilingual sources. This mode 
also allows you to listen to multiplexed soundtracks on 
DVDs and other sources. 

 

This mode enables 5.1-channel playback of music and 
movies recorded in 2 channels. You can select the Movie 
mode, best designed for playing movies, the Music 
mode, best designed for listening to music, and the 
Game mode, best suited for enjoying games. 

 

This mode can be used with VHS and DVD videos 
with the 

 mark, and certain television 

programs.

 

This mode can be used with stereo music CDs and 
DVD recordings of live concerts. 

 

This mode can be used with game discs. 

 

This mode reproduces in 5.1-7.1 channels music CDs 
and movies recorded in 2 channels. Together with 
clearer sounds, you will hear more natural and smoother 
surround effects than ever before. In addition to CDs 
and movies, game sources are played with a dramatic 
spatial presentation and with sound localization. 
And this mode enables 7.1 channel playback of music 
and movies recorded in 5.1 channels. You can select the 
PLIIx Movie and PLIIx Music mode.

 

This is the best mode for viewing movies. 

 

This is the best mode for playing music. 

 

This is the best mode for enjoying games, providing 
the best sense of signal movement. 

 

This is a surround mode that will make you feel as if 
you are sitting in a seat inside a theater or concert hall. 
This mode can be used with DVDs and LDs with the 

 mark.

 

The dynamic surround sound effects specific to 5.1 
channel speakers are reproduced through 2 speakers. 
When combined with “Dolby Pro Logic II”/“DTS 
NEO:6,” this mode provides 5.1 channel surround 
music recorded in 2 channels on CD or MP3 through 
only 2 speakers. This mode can also be applied to a sys-
tem equipped with more than 2 speakers. 
If you are able to use only 2 speakers in a separate room 
(Zone 2 or Zone 3) or main room B, this mode will let 
you experience truly powerful sounds of a movie, CD or 
game through the virtual surround effects. When you 
use this mode with three or more speakers, the speakers 
used for output will depend on the input source and 
decoding mode.

 

This mode enables 6.1 channel playback of music or 
movies recorded in 5.1 channels. Adding a surround 
channel to the backside of 5.1 channel speakers to make 
them 6.1 channel speakers will enhance space expres-
sions that should give you a real feel of moving sounds 
such as 360-degree rotation or overhead flying. Since 
sounds on the surround back channel are divided into 
the surround left and right channels, this mode also 
enables conventional 5.1 channel playback. When play-
ing DVDs and LDs recorded in 5.1 channels with the 

 mark, Dolby Digital EX mode turns on, and when 

playing other sources, Dolby EX turns on.

 

Sound data that would be of tremendous size if com-
pletely divided into 5.1 channels are compressed into 
digital data with a status as close as possible to the orig-
inal sounds. Playing in this mode requires a DVD player 
able to output DTS. This mode can be used with CDs, 

DVDs and LDs with the 

 mark. 

 

This is a listening mode available with DTS 96/24. This 
mode allows you to enjoy delicate sounds. 

 

This is a 6.1 channel surround system based on DTS 
with a surround back channel added. Since all 6.1 chan-
nels including the added surround back channel are 
recorded as completely independent digital data, a 3-D 
feeling and a sense of moving sounds are reproduced 
more clearly. This mode can be used with CDs, DVDs, 

and LDs with the 

 mark.
