Listening Mode Setup

Description listening mode parameters

Subwoofer

Set this to “Off” if you are not using a subwoofer (even if one is connected). If “No” is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not appear.

Re-EQ

Depending on the listening mode, you can either turn Re-EQ on or off.

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.

On: Select to turn on the re-equalization filter.

Off: Select to turn off the re-equalization filter.

Surround Speakers

This setting allows you to decide which speakers to output to when surround back speakers are connected and you are playing back a 5.1-channel source.

Surround L/R: This outputs the sound to the surround left and right speakers as normal and outputs nothing to the surround back speaker.

Surround Back: This outputs the sound to the surround back speakers and outputs nothing to the surround left and right speakers. This setting can only be selected when two surround back speakers are connected to the DTR-7.1.

Sur L/R+Back: This outputs the sound to both the surround left and right speakers and the surround back speaker.

Dolby D 6.1

This setting allows you to set whether or not Dolby Digital sources will be played back using the matrix 6.1-channel output when a surround back speaker is connected.

Auto: Automatically outputs signals with EX-identifying signals using 6.1-channel Dolby Digital.

On: Outputs using 6.1-channel Dolby Digital regardless of whether or not the signal contains EX identifiers.

Off: Does not output using 6.1-channel Dolby Digital regardless of whether or not the signal contains EX identifiers (Dolby D is used).

However, if the surround channel is monaural or nonexistent, the playback is made using normal Dolby Digital regardless of the above setting. For Dolby Digital 6.1-channel playback, Dolby D 6.1 is displayed for the listening mode.

DTS-ES

This setting allows you to set whether or not DTS sources will be played back using the matrix 6.1-channel (DTS-ES) output when a surround back speaker is connected.

Auto: Automatically outputs signals with ES-identifying signals using DTS-ES playback.

On: Outputs using DTS-ES playback regardless of whether or not the signal contains ES identifiers.

Off: Does not output using DTS-ES playback regardless of whether or not the signal contains ES identifiers (DTS is used).

However, if the surround channel is monaural or nonexistent, the playback is made using normal DTS regardless of the above setting. For DTS-ES playback, DTS-ES is displayed for the listening mode.

Dolby D THX Surround EX

This setting allows you to set whether or not Dolby Digital sources will be played back using THX Surround EX when a surround back speaker is connected.

Auto: Automatically outputs signals with EX-identifying signals using THX Surround EX.

On: Outputs using THX Surround EX regardless of whether or not the signal contains EX identifiers.

Off: Does not output using THX Surround EX regardless of whether or not the signal contains EX identifiers (Dolby D is used).

However, if the surround channel is monaural or nonexistent, the playback is made using normal THX regardless of the above setting. For THX Surround EX playback, Dolby D THX Surround EX is displayed for the listening mode.

DTS THX Surround EX

This setting allows you to set whether or not DTS sources will be played back using the THX Surround EX when a surround back speaker is connected.

On: Outputs using THX Surround EX regardless of whether or not the signal contains ES identifiers.

Off: Does not output using THX Surround EX regardless of whether or not the signal contains ES identifiers (DTS is used).

However, if the surround channel is monaural or nonexistent, the playback is made using normal DTS regardless of the above setting. For THX Surround EX playback, DTS THX Surround EX is displayed for the listening mode.

Front Effect

Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation. When you play these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP, creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses frame or presence. In this case, set this setting to “Off.” No reverberation from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from the three front channels, so the sound source is be played as it is without any further reverberation.

Effect Level

This parameter allows you to adjust the strength of sound effects to match the playback source material, the acoustics of your room, and such other factors. This can be set to “Low,” “Mid-low,” “Middle,” “Mid-high,” or “High.”

Room Size

This parameter allows you set virtual hall size to simulate for each surround mode. You can choose from “Large,” “Mid-Large,” “Middle,” “Mid-Small,” or “Small.”
