Listening Modes

THX: Changes the listening mode to the THX listening mode.

While playing back Dolby Digital sources

Switches the THX Surround EX mode (Auto On Off) if the source is a THX Surround EX-compatible source.

While playing back Analog/PCM sources

Switches the decoding mode (Pro Logic II Movie DTS Neo6:Cinema) for THX processing.

While playing back DTS sources

Switches the DTS-ES mode from Auto On Off. Changing the DTS-ES mode allows you to enjoy the DTS THX Cinema, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 THX Cinema, and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 THX Cinema surround systems.

Be aware that if surround back speakers are not connected, or if the Surr Back/Zone 2 setting of the Surr Back/Zone 2 Sub-menu is set to “Zone 2,” the THX Surround EX, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, or DTS- ES Matrix 6.1 listening modes cannot be selected.

ALL ST (remote controller only): Changes the listening mode for the signal type that is currently being input from the selected input source to the All Ch Stereo listening mode. If pressed, the corresponding settings in the “Input Setup” menu for the selected input source is also changed (see page 54).

DSP: Changes the listening mode for the signal type that is currently being input from the selected input source as shown below.

Orchestra Unplugged Studio-Mix TV Logic All Ch Stereo Mono T-D Mono Movie Enhance Orchestra.

If pressed, the corresponding settings in the “Input Setup” menu for the selected input source is also changed (see page 54).

Each press of the DSP button on the remote controller switches the listening modes just like the DSP button on the TX-SR701/ 701E.

On the other hand, each press of the DSP button switches the listening modes in reverse order.

Re-EQ function for movies (TX-SR701/701E only)

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.

This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”

This function only works in the THX, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, DTS, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS- ES Matrix 6.1, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, All Ch Stereo, Mono listening modes.

Note:

Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, DTS Neo:6 Cinema, Dolby Digital, and DTS are only enabled for multichannel playback.
