Using the Listening Modes—Continued

DTS-ES

DTS-ES supports up to 6.1 channels. The TX-SR502/ TX-SR502E supports both DTS-ES Discrete and DTS-ES Matrix.

Discrete mode is for use with DTS 6.1 material. With an additional surround-back

channel, each 6.1 channel is digitally recorded for a real- istic sense of movement and space. Use it with CDs, DVDs, and LDs that bear the DTS-ES logo.

Matrix mode creates 6.1-channel surround from DTS 5.1 material. Since DTS 5.1 includes surround-back channel informa- tion, the channel can be reconstructed for playback on 6.1-channel systems. Use this

mode with CDs, DVDs, and LDs that bear the DTS-ES or DTS logo.

DTS+Neo:6

This mode uses the Neo:6 decoder to create 6.1-channel surround from DTS 5.1-channel material. Use it with CDs, DVDs, and LDs that bear the DTS or DTS 96/24 logo.

DTS+Dolby EX

This mode uses the Dolby EX decoder to create 6.1- channel surround from DTS 5.1-channel material. Use it with CDs, DVDs, and LDs that bear the DTS or DTS 96/ 24 logo.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

Orchestra

Suitable for classical or operatic music. The center speaker is turned off and the surround channels are emphasized in order to widen the stereo image. In addi- tion, it simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

Unplugged

Suitable for acoustic instrument sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simu- lates the stage-front experience.

Studio-Mix

Suitable for rock and pop music. Listening to music in this mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.

TV Logic

Adds realistic acoustics to TV programs produced in a TV studio. In addition, it adds surround effects to the entire sound and clarity to voices.

All Ch Stereo

Ideal for background music. The front, surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that fills the entire listening area.
