Enjoying the Sound Effects

The surround sound of the DVD Receiver enables you to enjoy the presence of a movie theater or concert hall in your room. Before using any sound effect, make sure the Speaker Setup configurations have been set (see page 17).

The speaker configuration is very important for the surround sound. See "Connecting Speakers" on page 13 and "Positioning Speakers" on page 12.

Following are the sound systems the DVD Receiver can reproduce.

DOLBY DIGITAL Surround and DTS (Digital Theater System) Surround

Minimum required speaker system

Center Speaker

Left front speaker

Right front speaker

Left surround speaker

Right surround speaker

This 5.1 channel digital surround format enables you to individually play five full-range (20Hz-20kHz) channels (left and right front, center, and two surround channels) plus an LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel for the low-range effect sound. It will create a realistic sound like that heard in theaters and concert halls.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC Surround

This surround format consists of four channels (left and right front, center, and monaural surround channel). This format is very effective for panning music, conversation, and three- dimensional sound movement output from three front channels. It also simulates the atmosphere and surround effects of the sound reflected from the side and rear walls of the theater.

VHS video cassettes, VHS Hi-Fi video cassettes, LDs, and

DVD videos that have the mark are suitable sources for this listening mode.

Onkyo’s original Digital Signal Processing (DSP) modes

The DVD Receiver offers the following special Onkyo sound effects for sources other than Dolby Digital and DTS sounds.

DOLBY DIGITAL Surround

DVD videos that have the

 

 

 

mark are recorded using

this system.

D I G I T A L

 

 

 

 

To playback DOLBY DIGITAL Surround sound from connected equipment, you must make the digital connection in addition to the above speaker configuration.

Orchestra

This mode is suitable for classical and opera music. The center channel is cut and the surround channels are emphasized to widen the stereo image. It simulates a natural reverberation as created in a large hall.

DTS Surround

DVD videos and audio CDs that have the mark are recorded using this system.

To playback DTS Surround sound from connected equipment such as an LD player, you must make the digital connection in addition to the above speaker configuration.

Notes on DTS Surround

•If you play a DTS Surround encoded disc with the DVD Receiver, or a DTS encoded disc using a digitally connected player, you may hear a noise for a short while until the DTS decoder of the DVD Receiver recognizes the DTS encoded signal and starts operating. This is not a malfunction.

•If you play a DTS Surround source in fast reverse or fast forward, pause, or skip a chapter or track, noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction.

•Even when playback of the DTS Surround source stops and the DTS signal transmission ends, the DVD Receiver remains in DTS mode and the DTS indicator remains lit. This is to prevent noise when you pause, fast forward, fast reverse, or skip a chapter or track of the playback source. Therefore, if the source switches from the DTS signal to a PCM (2 channel digital stereo) signal immediately, the PCM signal may not be played. In such a case, stop playback for about three seconds, then resume playback.

•Some CD players (if connected to the DVD Receiver) and LD players may be unable to play DTS Surround sources correctly even if you connect the player to the DVD Receiver digitally. In such a case, the digital signals (such as the output level, sampling frequency, frequency response, etc.) processed by the player cannot be recognized as DTS data by the DVD Receiver and you may hear noise instead of the proper sound.

Unplugged

This mode is suitable for acoustic instrumental sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simulates the acoustics in front of the stage.

Studio-Mix

This mode is suitable for rock and popular music. Lively sounds with a powerful acoustic image will make you feel as if you are in a club.

TV Logic

This mode offers the realistic acoustics of a TV program being aired in the TV studio. It enhances the entire surround sound and clarity of conversation.

All Ch Stereo

This mode is useful for background music. The front and surround channels will create a stereo image.
