About Home Theater
Enjoying Home Theater
The DTR-6.4/5.4 has many excellent features to recreate 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-6.4, Integra recommends you to use the THX-certiŢed THX speaker system for THX Surround EX playback.
When playing DVD software, you can enjoy sound effects provided by DTS, Dolby Digital or THX (DTR-6.4 only) depending on recording
formats. In addition, you can enjoy IntegraOs proprietary DSP surround playback for TV or satellite broadcast.
