Onkyo HT-S5200 Dolby EX Input Signal Setting, Audyssey Settings, Theater-Dimensional Setting

Advanced Setup—Continued

Dolby EX Input Signal Setting

Dolby EX Auto: When the source is Dolby EX, you can select the Dolby EX listening mode. Manual: When the source is Dolby EX, you can select any of the listening modes compatible

with this format (e.g., Dolby EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, etc.) (default).

This setting determines how Dolby EX encoded signals are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround back speakers are connected. This setting is effective with Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD only.

Audyssey Settings

After room correction and speaker setup is completed, Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ becomes “On” by default.

Dynamic EQ	Off:	Audyssey Dynamic EQ off.
	On:	Audyssey Dynamic EQ on (default).

With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume level--not just at reference level.

Notes:

•Audyssey Dynamic EQ allows you to maintain the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level in accordance with the speakers.

•In order to record with appropriate sound, Audyssey 2EQ™ is automatically deactivated during a recording. After the recording is finished, Audyssey 2EQ and Audyssey Dynamic EQ will resume as previously set.

•“Dynamic EQ” and “Dyn Vol” become available (see page 74).

Dyn Vol (Dynamic Volume)

Off: Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ off.

Light: Light Compression Mode becomes active (see page 39).

Medium: Medium Compression Mode becomes active (see page 39).

Heavy: Heavy Compression Mode becomes active. This setting affects volume the most, causing all sounds to be of equal loudness.

Notes:

•Other than “Off”, “Dynamic EQ” becomes “On”, and “6. Equalizer” (see page 72) setting becomes “Audyssey”.

•“Dynamic Volume” becomes active when Dynamic EQ is set to “On”. Therefore, it is “Off” forcibly if “Dynamic EQ” becomes “Off”.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional) Setting

LstnAngl (Listening Angle)

Wide: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees (default).

Narrow: Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.

With this setting, you can optimize the Theater- Dimensional listening mode by specifying the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings.
