a. Re-EQ

Re-EQ (re-equalization) takes the edginess or “brightness” out of your home cinema sound to compensate for the fact that sound mixed for theaters may sound too bright when played back through speakers in the home environment.

This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”

You can use the Re-EQ button on the remote controller for setting “On” or “Off.”

b. Upsampling

Upsampling processes the input digital signal, or the digital signal converted from an analog input source, and converts its digital sampling frequency to twice its current frequency for an even further detailed sound reproduction. This can be set to either “On” or “Off.” When “On” is selected, the Upsampling indicator lights.

c. Subwoofer

When “Yes” is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Config Sub-menu, set this to “Off” if you do not want to have sound output from the subwoofer when listening to Analog/PCM sources. If “No” is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Config Sub-menu, this setting will not appear.

d. Late Night

The audio for movies made for the cinema have a large dynamic range; thus, the difference between loud noises and soft noises is great. To hear the quieter sounds such as background noises or human conversations, the movie must be played back at larger volumes. When this setting is set to “High” or “Low,” the dynamic range of the sound is narrowed down to allow you to easily hear minute sounds at low volumes. This function is especially useful if you wish to play a movie at low volumes during the nighttime.

This can be set to either “Off” or “Low,” or “High.”

Notes:

•The Late Night function is effective only on Dolby Digital encoded software.

•The depth of the Late Night effect is determined by Dolby Digital software. With some sources, it may produce little or no effect.

3-4. Delay Sub-menu

This sub-menu gives you various ways to adjust the timing of the audio output from the speakers to give certain soundfield effects or to adjust for unwanted asynchronous video and audio tracks.

This sub-menu does not appear if “Direct” is selected as the listening mode.

a. A/V Sync

If a digital signal processor is connected, there may be times when the audio and video from a DVD or LD player is not output in perfect sync. The result is where the sound and picture do not match and the sound is heard too early. In such a case, use this setting to properly synchronize the audio and video. This setting can be set between 0 and 74.0 ms in 0.5-ms increments. Under normal circumstances, this can left at 0 ms. If set between 24.5 and 74.0 ms, upsampling is fixed to 24.0 ms. Note that a change in the setting will not be displayed. This setting will not appear if the selected input source is set for the multichannel port.

Relative Delay

b. Center, c. Surr L/R, d. Surr Back

Besides level and delay adjustments, this setting provides the ability to change or adjust the relative speaker position to fine tune the soundfield for the listener. This is accomplished using Onkyo’s unique Enhanced Spatial Positioning Algorithm. This adjustment provides 10 milliseconds of delay for the speakers, which is equivalent to moving the speaker 10 feet (3 meters) away. This adjustment is set up to provide –4.0 or +6.0 milliseconds (–4 or +6 feet/–1.2 or +1.8 meters) of adjustment to the listener’s position.

Once the coarse adjustments (i.e., speaker level and distance adjustments) are made, the system is set up to provide a typical or broad surround environment. By adjusting the relative position of the speakers, we are able to alter the soundfield to be more spread out (deeper) or focused (shallower).

Note:

Surr Back will not appear if the Surr Back/Zone 2 setting in the Surr Back/Zone 2 Sub-menu of the Hardware Setup Menu is set to “Zone 2.”
