Using the Listening Modes—Continued

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-fidel- ity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels are output as they are.

Stereo

Sound is output by the front left and right speakers.

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

This mode expands any 2-channel source for 5.1-chan- nel playback. It provides a very natural and seamless sur- round-sound experience that fully envelops the listener. As well as music and movies, video games can also ben- efit from the dramatic spatial effects and vivid imaging.

•PLII Movie

Use this mode with any stereo or TV, DVD, VHS.

•PLII Music

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

•PLII Game

Use this mode with video games, especially those that bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.

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 5.1 discrete channels and uses less com- pression 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

96 kHz 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 5.1-chan- nel 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

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono 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.

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 acous- tic image, like being at a club or rock concert.

TV Logic

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

All Ch Stereo

Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire lis- tening area with stereo sound from the front, and sur- round 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.
