Using the Listening Modes—Continued

DTS+Neo:6

This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-channel DTS sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS logo and feature a 5.1-channel soundtrack.

THX

Founded by George Lucas, THX develops stringent stan- dards that ensure movies are reproduced in movie the- aters and home theaters just as the director intended.

•THX Cinema

This mode is for watching movies, which are typi- cally recorded and edited on the assumption that they will be played in a sizable place like a movie theater. It carefully optimizes the tonal and spatial character- istics of the soundtrack for reproduction in the smaller home-theater environment. It can be used with 2-channel sources processed with other for- mats, and multichannel sources. Surround back speaker output depends on the source material and the selected listening mode.

•THX Select2 Cinema

This mode expands Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1- channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. It does this by analyzing the composition of the sur- round source, optimizing the ambient and directional sounds to produce the surround back channel output. This is a new and improved mode especially for home theater use.

•THX Music Mode

This mode is designed for use with music. It expands Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback.

•THX Games Mode

This mode is designed for use with video games.

•THX Surround EX

This mode expands Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1- channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback. It’s especially suited to Dolby Digital EX sources. THX Surround EX, also known as Dolby Digital Surround EX, is a joint development between Dolby Laborato- ries and THX Ltd.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is, while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other speakers, giving presence to even mono material.

Orchestra

Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the stereo image and simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

Unplugged

Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the impression of being right in front of the stage.

Studio-Mix

Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful acous- tic image, like being at a club or rock concert.

TV Logic

This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows pro- duced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire sound, and clarity to voices.

All Ch Stereo

Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire lis- tening area with stereo sound from the front, surround, and surround back speakers.

Full Mono

In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of where you are within the listening room.
