need tips on Integra 9.9 aV proc


Hi all.
I have an Integra DHC 9.9 proc. And am finally getting around to setting up my HT again and am at my wit’s end.

Trigger setup on Integra DHC 9.9

I’ve got a problem with remotely triggering a Butler TDB 5150 5 ch amp using the Integra DHC 9.9.

I believe the issue mainly is the Trigger setup in the integra is not correctly input as the manual isn’t terribly clear to me on the how of it so I might not have that info set correctly.

could someone please explain it better?

I can get to the page, and adjust things, but I’m not clear on which buttons to use on the rremote to engage the trigger I’ve set.

Let’s say I’m using trigger C and only to power up the Butler amp and go from there.

9.9 front panel disp has mysteriously turned itself off

I need to know how to get the front panel display working again.. NO, I haven’t used the Dimmer control on it at all.

Can’t both, the 9.9’s front panel and a HDMI display work simultaneously? Mind telling me where that setting is located?

Usually that’s not an issue but I want to setup the tuner memory with various stations and can’t see how to proceed…

Alternatively, can it be done via the Integra remote control unit?

If so, please tell me the steps I need to take.

I think I can get the station memorized but can’t see which channel to set it to in the memory as you must make a choice for that as well.
Ex. WABC 88.5 FM, set to memory ch 16.

If the front panel is unable to be used is this info displaed out to the HDMI display If one is connected?
If so, and it may well be, the print is too small for me to see well enough to memorize my radio stations properly..

I have a 32 in Sony HD display connected and it works with DVD and TV info, and of course the 9.9’s set up menus… but somehow the front panel display on the Integra went off and isn’t coming back on somehow.

Anyone with this info or a part of it can PM me if they wish, or post the steps here.
Your assistance is desperately needed, and I’m grateful for any help. Many thanks.

Wow, such a very thoughtful and detailed post, BlindJim - good on ya!

I used to have a Butler TDB-5150 (*great* amp, BTW) and used the trigger output from my Emotiva UMC-1 to power on/off the Butler. IIRC, I had no problems getting the Butler to respond to the UMC-1's triggers. The UMC-1 requires that the 3.5 mm connector/cable be a mono one, NOT stereo. So you might want to investigate and see if the Integra also has this requirement.

Additionally, (most of) the Integras allow you to adjust the trigger's delay. You might want to experiment with increasing the delay from 1-2 sec. to 3-4 sec. This may not have much effect since the Butler does have a "soft start" feature which limits startup inrush current - but it couldn't hurt to experiment....

Good Luck,
