About the Listening Modes

With its built-in surround-sound decoders and DSP pro- grams, the AV receiver can transform your home listen- ing room into a movie theater or concert hall.

The AV receiver’s surround indicators show which speakers are active in each listening mode.

Direct

The selected input source is output by the front left and right speakers only, with minimal processing for a pure sound.

Stereo

The selected input source is processed as a stereo signal and output by the front left and right speakers and the subwoofer.

Mono or

Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono soundtrack, or to select multilingual soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of some movies. It can also be used when playing a DVD or other source with multiplexed audio, such as a karaoke DVD.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Use this mode with DVDs and vid- eos that bear the Dolby Surround

logo or TV programs that feature Dolby Surround. You can also use this mode with stereo movies or TV pro- grams and the AV receiver will create a 5.1 surround mix from the 2-channel stereo.

Dolby Pro Logic II has three modes of operation; Movie mode for movies, Music mode for listening to music and Game mode for use with games consoles with 2-channel stereo outputs.

Dolby Digital

With this format you can experience the same superb sound that you get at a movie theater or concert hall. Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo.

DTS

This digital surround format offers a surround sound experience with exceptional fidelity. It uses compressed digital audio data, with six discrete channels (5.1), and the ability to handle large amounts of audio data while remaining faithful to the original. DTS provides very high-quality sound. You’ll need a DTS compatible DVD player in order to enjoy DTS material. Use this mode with DVDs, LDs, or CDs that bear the DTS logo.

DTS 96/24

This mode provides higher audio quality. Use it with CDs, DVDs, and LDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

Orchestra or

Suitable for classical or operatic music. The center speaker is turned off and the surround channels are emphasized in order to widen the stereo image. In addi- tion, it simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

Unplugged

Suitable for acoustic instrument sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simu- lates the stage-front experience.

Studio-Mix

Suitable for rock and 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

Adds realistic acoustics to TV programs produced in a TV studio. In addition, it adds surround effects to the entire sound and adds clarity to voices.

Enhance

This mode is ideal for enjoying music programs or TV sports programs. It provides a natural surround sound with movement in the surround speakers, creating a sound with a live feeling to it.

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for use with old movies and other mono sound 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.

All Ch Stereo

Ideal for background music. The front and surround channels create a stereo image that fills the entire listen- ing area.

Full Mono

In this mode, all speakers output mono audio, so the music sounds the same regardless of where you are.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional) or

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.
