3-1. Tone Control

■a. Bass

You can adjust the bass for the front left, right, and center speakers and subwoofer in 2 dB steps from –12 to

+12 dB. The default setting is 0 dB. The bass cannot be adjusted while the Direct, Pure Audio, or THX listening mode is selected.

■b. Treble

You can adjust the treble for the front left, right, and center speakers in 2 dB steps from –12 to +12 dB. The default setting is 0 dB. The treble cannot be adjusted while the Direct, Pure Audio, or THX listening mode is selected.

3-2. Surround Speakers

■a. Surround Speakers

If you are using surround back speakers, you can choose which surround speakers to use when playing 5.1 mate- rial. This setting can be used with the following listening modes: DTS, DTS96/24, Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, THX Cinema (PL II), Mono Movie, Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix, and TV Logic.

Surround L/R: Use only the surround left and right speakers.

Surround Back: Use only the surround back left and right speakers.

Surr L/R+back: Use the surround left and right and surround back left and right speakers.

3-3. Sound Effect

■a. Re-EQ

This is the same as the Re-EQ function explained on page 62. This function can be used with the following listening modes: Mono, Stereo, All Ch St, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, DTS, DTS-ES, and DTS Neo:6 Cinema.

■b. Upsampling

With the Upsampling function you can double the sam- pling rate for more detailed playback. Upsampling can be used with the following listening modes: Stereo and Dolby Pro Logic II.

On: Sampling rate doubled. (UPSAMPLING indi- cator lights up.)

Off: Upsampling function off.

■c. Double Bass

With the Double Bass function you can boost the bass out- put by feeding the bass sounds of the front left and right channels to the subwoofer. This function can be used only if the Speaker Config menu Subwoofer setting is set toYes, and the Front L/R setting is set to Large (see page 41).

On: Double Bass function on (default).

Off: Double Bass function off.

■d. Late Night

This is the same as the Late Night function explained on page 62. It can be used only when the listening mode is Dolby Digital.

3-4. Delay

■a. A/V Sync

When using progressive scanning, you may find that the picture and sound are out of sync. With the A/V Sync function you can delay the audio in 0.5 ms steps from 0 to 74.0 ms to get the picture and audio back in sync. The default setting is 0 ms.

Note:

•If a delay time between 24.5 ms and 74 ms is set, and then the Upsampling function is turned on, the delay time will be fixed at 24.0 ms, however, the value shown on the display will not change.

•This function cannot be used with the multichannel input.

■b. Relative Delay

With Integra/Onkyo’s unique Enhanced Spatial Posi- tioning Algorithm you can fine-tune the sound field by delaying the signals to all speakers in 0.5 ms steps from –4.0 ms to +6.0 ms (default is 0 ms). This 10 ms range equates to a physical speaker movement of 10 feet (3 m). Before adjusting this setting, specify the distance between the listening position and each individual speaker (see page 43), and adjust the level of each speaker individually (see page 44).

By increasing the distance between the speakers (i.e., increasing the delay time), the sound field can be broad- ened, and by reducing the distance (i.e., reducing the delay time), the sound field can be narrowed.

The procedure for changing these settings is provided on page 68.
