Using the Listening Modes—Continued

DTS Neo:6

This mode expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-chan- nel playback. It uses seven 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 (NEO:6 Cin)

Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).

Neo:6 Music (NEO:6 Mus)

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

5.1-channel source + Neo:6

This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback.

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 (AllCh St)

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

T-D (Theater-Dimensional) Manual backgroundManual backgroundManual backgroundManual backgroundManual background 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.
