Important Safety Instructions
1.
Read Instructions
– All the safety and operating instructions
should be read before the appliance is operated.
2.
Retain Instructions
– The safety and operating instructions
should be retained for future reference.
3.
Heed Warnings
– All warnings on the appliance and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4.
Follow Instructions
– All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
5.
Water and Moisture
– Do not use the appliance near water
–for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laun-
dry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the
like.
6.
Cleaning
– Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet before
cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned with a dry cloth or
only as recommended by the manufacturer.
7.
Ventilation
– Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided
for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance
and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not
be blocked or covered. Do not use the appliance on a bed, sofa,
rug, or other such surface. Newspapers, table clothes, curtains,
and other items can inadvertently block ventilation slots. Do
not place the unit near curtains that could obstruct the ventila-
tion. If you install the appliance in a built-in installation, such
as a bookcase or rack, ensure that there is adequate ventilation.
Leave 20 cm (8") of free space at the top and sides and 10 cm
(4") at the rear. The rear edge of the shelf or board above the
appliance should be set 10 cm (4") away from the rear panel or
wall, creating a flue-like gap for warm air to escape.
8.
Heat
– The appliance should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appli-
ances (including amplifier) that produce heat.
9.
Grounding or Polarization
– The appliance may be equipped
with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician
to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety pur-
pose of the polarized or grounding-type plug.
A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your
safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult
an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10.
Power-Cord Protection
– Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention
to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the appliance.
11.
Attachments
– Do not use attachments not recommended by
the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
Accessories
– Do not place the appliance on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the
appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance.
Any mounting of the appliance
should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions, and should use a
mounting accessory recommended
by the manufacturer.
12. An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care to avoid
injury from tip-over.
Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to
overturn.
13.
Lightning
– For added protection for the appliance during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and discon-
nect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to
the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.
14.

– Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous volt-
age or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
Damage Requiring Service
– Unplug the appliance from the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
appliance,
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,
D. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the appliance to its normal operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way,
and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in perfor-
mance – this indicates a need for service.
15.

sound quality may be affected. If this occurs, move this unit
away from the TV, radio, or VCR.
7. Care
Occasionally, you should dust this unit all over with a soft cloth.
For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solu-
tion of mild detergent and water. Dry the unit immediately after-
wards with a clean cloth. Do not use abrasive cloths, thinners,
alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may damage
the finish or remove the panel lettering.
8. Handling Notes
• If you need to transport this unit, use the original packaging to
pack it how it was when you originally bought it.
• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect sprays, near this

sionally.
9. To Obtain a Clear Picture
This unit is a high-tech, precision device. If the lens on the opti-
cal pickup, or the disc drive mechanism becomes dirty or worn,
the picture quality may be affected. To maintain the best picture
quality, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance
(cleaning or worn part replacement) every 1,000 hours of use
depending on the operating environment. Contact your Integra/
Onkyo dealer for details.
10. Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation may damage this unit.
Read the following carefully:
When you take a glass containing a cold drink outside on a sum-
mer’s day, drops of water, called condensation, form on the out-
side of the glass. Similarly, moisture may condense on the lens
of the optical pickup, one of the most important parts inside this
unit.
• Moisture condensation can occur in the following situations:
— The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm place.
— A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air conditioner is
hitting the unit.

Before Using the DPC-7.4
Notes:
• The supplied batteries should last for about six months,
although this will vary with usage.
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try replacing
both batteries.
• Don’t mix new and old batteries, or different types of bat-
teries.
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long
time, remove the batteries to prevent possible leakage and
corrosion.
• Flat batteries should be removed as soon as possible to pre-
vent possible leakage and corrosion.
To use the remote controller, point it at the DPC-7.4’s remote
control sensor, as shown below.
Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the DPC-
7.4 is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight or
inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in mind when
installing the DPC-7.4.
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in the
same room, or the DPC-7.4 is installed close to equipment
that uses infrared rays, the remote controller may not work
reliably.
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote control-
ler, because the buttons may be pressed inadvertently,
thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the DPC-
7.4 is installed in a rack behind colored glass doors. Keep
this in mind when installing the DPC-7.4.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obstacle
between it and the DPC-7.4’s remote control sensor.
Installing the Remote Controller’s
Batteries
1

Connecting the DPC-7.4
This chapter explains how to connect the DPC-7.4 to your
other AV components.
• Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed all
audio and video connections.
Optical Digital Inputs
The DPC-7.4’s optical digital connector
has a dust cap for keeping out dust and dirt
when it’s not in use. Remove the cap before
inserting an optical digital plug. Push the
plug in all the way to make a good connec-
tion. Keep the dust cap in a safe place for
future use.
RCA/phono AV Connection Color Coding
RCA/phono AV connections are usually color coded: red,
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-channel
audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use white
plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and outputs (typi-
cally labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to connect compos-
ite video inputs and outputs.
• Push each plug in all the way to
make a good connection (loose con-
nections can cause noise or malfunc-
tions).
•To prevent interference, keep audio
and video cables away from power
cords and speaker cables.

Connecting the DPC-7.4
—Continued
This section explains how to connect the DPC-7.4 to your TV
or projector.
In this hookup example, the TV handles the audio and video.
If your TV has a Dolby Pro Logic decoder built-in, you’ll be
able to enjoy DVDs and videos that bear the Dolby Surround
logo.
To enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS (5.1-channel surround),
you’ll need a compatible decoder (see page 18).
The DPC-7.4 has three types of video output: component
video, S-Video, and composite video. Component video
offers the best picture quality, so if your TV supports it, use
a commercially available component video cable to connect
the DPC-7.4’s COMPONENT video output to the compo-
nent video inputs on your TV. If your TV supports progres-
sive scanning, you must use component video in order to take
advantage of that feature.
S-Video offers better picture quality than composite video,
so if your TV supports it, use the supplied S-Video cable to
connect the DPC-7.4’s S VIDEO output to an S-Video input
on your TV. Failing that, use the supplied composite video
cable to connect the DPC-7.4’s VIDEO output to a composite
video input on your TV.
Notes
• Before making any connections, turn off the DPC-7.4 and
your TV and disconnect their power cords from the wall
outlets.
• Also refer to the connection information supplied with
your TV.
• Connect the DPC-7.4’s video outputs directly to your TV.
Don’t connect a VCR or other video equipment in between
your DPC-7.4 and TV. Doing so may result in picture dis-
tortion, because of the copy protection system used on
DVD-Videos.
• When you use the analog audio outputs, don’t play DTS
CDs and don’t select DTS soundtracks on DVD-Videos.
Doing so will produce unpleasant digital noise, which may
damage your equipment.
• If your TV or projector has BNC component video inputs,
use a BNC component video cable to connect them to the
DPC-7.4’s BNC component video outputs.
Connecting Your TV or Projector
1
Turn off the DPC-7.4 and your TV, and dis-
connect their power cords from the wall out-
lets.
2
Connect the DPC-7.4 to your TV as shown.

hi-fi amp or receiver for better sound quality than that of most
TVs. This is ideal for playing your audio CDs and MP3/
WMA discs in the DPC-7.4. DVD-Videos and Video CDs
will sound better too. You can also enjoy Dolby Pro Logic, so
long as your receiver supports it.
Analog Connection
Use an RCA/phono audio cable to connect the DPC-7.4’s
ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUTs to a pair of analog audio
inputs on your hi-fi amp or receiver, as shown.
Notes:
• When you use the analog audio outputs, don’t play DTS
CDs or don’t select DTS soundtracks on DVD-Videos.
Doing so will produce unpleasant digital noise, which may
damage your equipment.
• The DPC-7.4 has two composite video output connectors
and two pairs of stereo analog audio output connectors.
They output the same video and audio signals respectively.
Digital Connection
Use an optical (or coaxial) digital audio cable to connect the
DPC-7.4’s OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) DIGITAL AUDIO
OUTPUT to an optical (or coaxial) input on your hi-fi amp or
receiver, as shown.
Notes:
• Be sure to set the Digital Out–>Dolby Digital setting to
“Dolby Digital>PCM” (see page 42). Otherwise an
unpleasant digital noise may be heard, which may damage
your equipment.
•Never connect the DPC-7.4 to the AC-3RF input on a
Dolby Digital receiver. The AC-3RF format is not sup-
ported by the DPC-7.4.
To enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound, you need to
connect one of the DPC-7.4 digital audio outputs to the dig-
ital input on a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an AV
receiver with built-in decoders.
This hookup example will also allow you to enjoy Dolby Pro
Logic, so long as your decoder or AV receiver supports it.
Notes:
• In addition to a digital connection, we recommend also
connecting using the stereo analog connection.
To record the audio from a CD-R disc etc. to a cassette or
CDR recorder that’s connected to the AV receiver, and
when your AV receiver has Zone2, you must connect the
DPC-7.4’s analog audio outputs to the AV receiver.
• Make sure that the Digital Out > Dolby Digital setting to
“Dolby Digital” (see page 42). Otherwise you won’t get
surround sound.
• Also refer to the connection information supplied with
your AV receiver or decoder.
• When playing Dolby Digital or DTS source material, be
sure to select Dolby Digital or DTS decoding, respectively,
on your AV receiver or decoder. See the relevant manuals.
•You can experience Dolby Digital only with DVDs that
bear the Dolby Digital logo. Likewise, you can experience
DTS only with DVDs or CDs that bear the DTS logo.
• When a DVD disc is loaded into the DVD player, the disc
would default to Dolby digital format. For DTS playback
you would need to select DTS in the table of contents of
the movie. Usually in “Language” or in “Audio Setup”.

Connecting the DPC-7.4
—Continued
With (Remote Interactive) you can control your DPC-7.4
by using the remote controller supplied with your Onkyo or
Integra -compatible AV receiver.
Notes:
• Push the plugs in all the way to make a good connection.
• Use only cables for connections.
•
To use you must also make an analog RCA/phono
connection between your DPC-7.4 and Integra/Onkyo
AV receiver, even if they are connected digitally.
• The DPC-7.4 has two connectors. You can connect
either one to your Integra/Onkyo AV receiver. The other
connector is for connecting additional -compatible
components.
• Connect the DPC-7.4’s connector to only Integra/
Onkyo AV components. Connecting to other manufac-
turer’s AV components may cause them to malfunction.
• Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with
the DPC-7.4. The power cord supplied is designed for use
with the DPC-7.4 and should not be used with any other
device.
•Never have the power cord disconnected from the DPC-7.4
while the other end is plugged into the wall outlet. Doing
so may cause an electric shock. Always connect by plug-
ging into the wall outlet last and disconnect by unplugging
from the wall outlet first.

Connecting the DPC-7.4
—Continued
You can use the following multi-room kits to control the
DPC-7.4 when it’s out of range of the remote controller:
• Integra Multi-Room System (IR Remote Controller Exten-
sion System)
• Multiroom AV distribution and control systems such as
those made by Niles
®
and Xantech
®
.
Controlling the DPC-7.4 When It’s Out of Range
If the DPC-7.4 is located in another room, installed in a cab-
inet, or out of range of its remote controller, you can use a
commercially available IR receiver to pickup the remote con-
troller signals and feed them to the DPC-7.4, as shown below.
Connect the IR receiver to the DPC-7.4 as shown below.
Controlling Other Out-of-range AV Components
If another AV component is out of range of its remote con-
troller, you can use a commercially available IR emitter to
retransmit the remote controller signals received at the DPC-
7.4’s IR IN, as shown below.
Connect the IR emitter to the DPC-7.4’s IR OUT, and place
the IR emitter in front of the other AV component’s remote
control sensor (usually located on its front panel), as shown
below. See the instructions supplied with the IR emitter.
Only remote controller signals received by the DPC-7.4’s IR
IN are fed through to the IR OUT. Signals picked up by the
DPC-7.4’s remote control sensor are not output.
