DSP: The listening modes that can be selected are different between the main unit and remote control unit.

DSP (on the front panel): Recall the Onkyo-original DSP mode. Each time this button is pressed, the listening mode cycles; “Orchestra” → “Unplugged” → “Studio Mix” → “TV Logic” → “All Ch St” → “Orchestra” (back to the beginning).

DSP (on the remote controller): All of the listening modes that can be selected for the current source can be selected in sequence. This button is valid also when the remote control mode is other than RCVR/TAPE (see pages 34 and 35).
