About the Listening Modes

The AV receiver’s listening modes can transform your listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with high fidelity and stunning surround sound.

Direct

In this mode, audio from the input source is output directly with minimal processing, providing high- fidelity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels are output as they are.

Stereo

Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.

Mono

Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke DVDs.

Dolby Pro Logic II

•Dolby Pro Logic II Movie

Use this mode with DVDs and videos that bear the Dolby Surround logo or TV shows that feature Dolby Surround. You can also use this mode with stereo movies or TV shows and the AV receiver will create a 5.1 surround mix from the 2-channel stereo.

•Dolby Pro Logic II Music

Use this mode to add 5.1 surround to stereo sources such as music CDs and DVDs.

•Dolby Pro Logic II Game

Use this mode when playing game discs.

Dolby Digital

Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo, and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most common digital surround-sound format, and it’ll put you right in the middle of the action, just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.

DTS

The DTS digital surround-sound format supports up to

5.1discrete channels and uses less compression for high- fidelity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo.

DTS 96/24

This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is high-resolution DTS with a 96kHz sampling rate and 24- bit resolution, providing superior fidelity. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.

DTS Neo:6

This mode expands any 2-channel source for up to 5.1- channel playback. It uses five full-bandwidth channels of matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, providing a very natural and seamless surround sound experience that fully envelops the listener.

•Neo:6 Cinema

Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).

•Neo:6 Music

Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

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 acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.

TV Logic

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

Game-RPG

Use this mode when playing role playing game discs.

Game-Action

Use this mode when playing action game discs.

Game-Rock

Use this mode when playing rock game discs.

Game-Sports

Use this mode when playing sports game discs.

All Ch Stereo

Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire listening area with stereo sound from the front and surround 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.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional)

With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround sound even with only two or three speakers. This works by controlling how sounds reach the listener’s left and right ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode in an environment with little or no natural reverb.
