About Home Theater

Enjoying Home Theater

Thanks to the AV receiver’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. With DVDs you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital. With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes. You can also enjoy THX Surround EX (THX-certified THX speaker system recommended).
Front left and right speakers
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
Front high left and right speakers
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height, and Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion™. They significantly enhance the spatial experience. Position them at least 3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front left and right speakers (preferably as high as possible) and at an angle slightly wider than the front left and right speakers.
Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it’s used mainly for dialog. Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.
Front wide left and right speakers
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Audys­sey Dynamic Surround Expansion™ (DSX). They significantly enhance the spatial experi­ence. Position them well outside of the front left and right speakers. See also http://www.audyssey.com/technology/dsx.html about optimum speaker placement for Audys­sey Dynamic Surround Expansion™.
16
Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output from your subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front cor­ner, or at one-third the width of the wall, as shown. Tip: To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some music with good bass, experi­ment by placing your subwoofer at various positions within the room, and choose the one that provides the most satisfying results.
1/3 of wall position
Surround back left and right speakers
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, THX Sur­round EX, etc. They enhance the realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the lis­tener. Position them behind the listener about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level.
Surround left and right speakers
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener.

Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected speakers is 4 ohms or more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure to set the minimum speaker impedance to “4ohms” (see page 47). If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high vol­ume levels for a long period of time, the built-in pro­tection circuit may be activated.
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to nega­tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
• If you use 4 or 5 speakers, connect each of the two
6
surround speakers to the SURR L/R terminals. Do not connect them to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 L/R, FRONT WIDE L/R, or FRONT HIGH L/R terminals.
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

Bi-amping the Front Speakers

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK/ZONE 2 L/R termi­nal posts can be used with front speakers and surround back speakers respectively, or bi-amped to provide sepa­rate tweeter and woofer feeds for a pair of front speakers that support bi-amping, providing improved bass and treble performance.
• When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main room.
• For bi-amping, the FRONT L/R terminal posts con­nect to the front speakers’ woofer terminals. And the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 L/R terminal posts connect to the front speakers’ tweeter terminals.
• Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections shown below and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the “Speakers Type(Front)” setting to “Bi-Amp” to enable biamping (see page 47).
Important:
• When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers’ tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminals.
• Bi-amping can only be used with speakers that support bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.

Connecting Components with HDMI

About HDMI
Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD/BD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, and multichannel PCM).
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)*1, so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and displays, resulting in no picture.) The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) can display the picture.
The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard: x.v.Color, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD, and Multichannel PCM
Supported Audio Formats
• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
• Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
• Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS­HD Master Audio)
Your DVD/BD players must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.
Integra/Onkyo for System Control
, which stands for Remote Interactive over HDMI, is the name of the system control function found on Inte­gra/Onkyo components. The AV receiver can be used with CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which allows system control over HDMI and is part of the HDMI standard. CEC provides interoperability between various components, however, operation with components other than -compatible components cannot be guaranteed.
• Set “HDMI Control (RIHD)” to “On” (page 107).
• See “Controlling a TV” (page 133) and “Controlling a DVD Player, or DVD Recorder” (page 134) for operation.
*2,
so only HDCP-compatible components
Notes:
• Do not connect the -compatible component more than the following number to the HDMI input terminal so
that the linked operations work properly.
a. DVD/BD player is up to three. b. DVD/BD recorder is up to three. c. Cable/Satellite Set-top box is up to four.
• Do not connect the AV receiver to the other AV receiver /AV amplifier via HDMI.
• When the -compatible component more than the above-mentioned is connected, the linked operations are
not guaranteed.
About Copyright Protection
The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)*2, a copy-protection system for digital video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.
*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG *2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to
protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.
*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this open
industry group’s objective is to address the industry’s requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance PCs and digital displays.

Making HDMI Connections
Step 1:
Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible DVD/BD player, TV, projec­tor, and so on.
Step 2:
Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Input Setup (see page 44).
Video Signals
Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI OUT for display on your TV. Composite video, S-Video, and component video sources can be upconverted for the HDMI output. See “Video Con­nection Formats” on page 26 for more information.
Audio Signals
Digital audio signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are output by the speakers and headphones connected to the AV receiver. Normally, they are not output by the HDMI OUT, unless the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (see page 106).
Hint!
To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers:
•Set the “TV Control” setting to “On” (see page 108) for an -compatible TV.
•Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (see page 106) when the TV is not compatible with or the “TV Control” setting to “Off”.
•Set your DVD/BD player’s HDMI audio output setting to PCM.

(Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not guaranteed.
• When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver, set the HDMI component so that its video can be seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV receiver). If the TV power is off or the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV receiver or the sound may be cut off.
• When the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (see page 106) to hear from your TV’s speakers, if you control the AV receiver volume, the sound will be output from the AV receiver’s speakers, too. The
TV Control” is set to On
to hear from speakers of -compatible TV, by controlling the AV receiver’s volume, the AV receiver’s speak­ers will produce sound while the TV’s speakers are muted. To stop the AV receiver’s speakers producing sound, change the settings, change your TV’s settings, or turn down the AV receiver’s volume.
• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is poor or there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component’s instruction manual for details.

Which Connections Should I Use?

The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format you choose will depend on the formats supported by your other components. Use the following sections as a guide.
Video Connection Formats
Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, S-Video, component video, or HDMI, the latter offering the best picture quality.
For optimal video performance, THX recommends that video signals pass through the system without upconver­sion (e.g., component video input through to component video output).
It is also recommended that you press the [VCR/DVR] and [Return] buttons on the AV receiver at the same time. Select “Skip” in the “VideoProcessor” setting on the display. To reset back to the original setting, press the same button at the same time.
Video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown, with composite video, S-Video, and component video sources all being upconverted for the HDMI output.
The composite video, S-Video, and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.

Signal Selection
If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the fol­lowing order of priority: HDMI, component video, S-Video and composite video. However, for component video only, regardless of whether a component video signal is actually present, if a component video input is assigned to the input selector, that component video input will be selected. And if no component video input is assigned to the input selector, this will be interpreted as no component video signal being present. In the Signal Selection Example shown on the right, video signals are present at both the S­video and composite video inputs, however, the S-video signal is automatically selected as the source and video is output by the S-Video and HDMI outputs.
The onscreen setup menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT. If your TV is connected to the composite video or S-Video MONITOR OUT, or the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT, use the AV receiver’s display when changing settings.

Audio Connection Formats
Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any of the following audio con­nection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, or HDMI.
When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver does not convert digital input signals for analog line outputs and vice versa. For example, audio signals connected to an optical or coaxial digital input are not output by the analog TV/TAPE OUT.
If signals are present at more than one input, the inputs will be selected automatically in the following order of priority: HDMI, digital, analog.

Connecting Integra/Onkyo u Components
Step 1:
Make sure that each Integra/Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (connection in the hookup examples) (see pages 28 to 36 and 38).
Step 2:
Make the u connection (see illustration right).
Step 3:
If you’re using an MD, CDR, or RI Dock, change the Input Display (see page 49).
With u (Remote Interactive), you can use the follow­ing special functions:
Auto Power On/Standby
When you start playback on a component connected via u, if the AV receiver is on Standby, it will auto-
matically turn on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set
to Standby, all components connected via u will also go on Standby.
Direct Change
When playback is started on a component connected via u, the AV receiver automatically selects that
component as the input source.
Remote Control
You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other u-capable Integra/Onkyo com-
ponents, pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver’s remote control sensor instead of the com­ponent. You must enter the appropriate remote con­trol code first (see page 132).
Notes:
•Use only u cables for u connections. u cables are supplied with Integra/Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).
• Some components have two u jacks. You can con­nect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting additional u-capable components.
• Connect only Integra/Onkyo components to u jacks. Connecting other manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.
• Some components may not support all u functions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your other Inte­gra/Onkyo components.
• While Zone 2 is on, the Auto Power On/Standby and Direct Change u functions do not work.

Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup
With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey MultEQ automatically determines the number of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position. Audyssey MultEQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone. Enabling Audyssey MultEQ allows you to also use Audyssey Dynamic EQ™, which maintains the proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level (see page 97). Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.
About Audyssey Dynamic EQ
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deterio­rating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency response and surround levels moment-by-moment at any user­selected volume setting. The result is bass response, tonal balance, and surround impression that remain constant despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ combines information from incoming source levels with actual output sound levels in the room, a prereq­uisite for delivering a loudness correction solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey MultEQ to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.
Measurement Positions
To create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey MultEQ takes measurements at up to six positions within the listening area.
First measurement point
Also referred to as the Main Listening Position this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
Second
These are the other listening positions (i.e., the places where the other listeners will sit). You can
measure up to six positions. The following examples show some typical home theater seating arrangements. Choose the one that best matches yours, and position the microphone accordingly when prompted.

About Audyssey Dynamic Volume™
Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in volume level between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the pre­ferred volume setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of program material is being per­ceived by listeners in real time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary rapid or gradual adjust­ments to maintain the desired playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal bal­ance, surround impression, and dialog clarity remain the same whether watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing from stereo to sur­round sound content.

Notes:
• Before starting Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup, arrange the room and connect the speakers as you would for enjoying movies. Changes to the room after auto setup requires you run the auto setup again, as room EQ characteristics may have changed.
• When starting the room correction and speaker setup, do not stand between the speakers and microphone, and avoid obstacles blocking the path between speakers and microphone. This will produce inaccurate results.
• Position the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements as this will produce inacurate results.

• Please note that THX recommends any THX main speakers be set to “80Hz(THX)”. If you set up your speakers using Audyssey MultEQ
®
Room Correction and Speaker Setup, please make sure manually that any THX speakers are set to 80 Hz (THX) crossover (see page 91).
• Sometimes due to the electrical complexities of subwoofers and the interaction with the room, THX recommends setting the level and the distance of the subwoofer manually.
• Sometimes due to interaction with the room, you may notice irregular results when setting the level and/or distance of the main speakers. If this happens, THX recommends setting them manually.
Using a Powered Subwoofer
If you’re using a powered subwoofer and it outputs very low-frequency sound at a low volume level, it may not be detected by Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup.
If the “Subwoofer” appears on the “Review SP Configuration” screen as “No”, increase the subwoofer’s volume to the half-way point, set it to its highest crossover frequency, and then try running Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup again. Note that if the volume is set too high and the sound distorts, detection issues may occur, so use an appropriate volume level. If the subwoofer has a low­pass filter switch, set it to Off or Direct. Refer to your subwoofer’s instruction manual for details.

Using RDS (Australian models)

RDS only works in areas where RDS broadcasts are available.
When tuned into an RDS station, the RDS indicator appears.
RDS indicator
What is RDS?
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is avail­able in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock, etc.). The AV receiver supports four types of RDS informa­tion:
PS (Program Service)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS information, the station’s name will be displayed. Press­ing the [Display] button will display the frequency for 3 seconds.
RT (Radio Text)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text information, the text will be shown on the display (see page 75).
PTY (Program Type)
This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type (see page 75).
TP (Traffic Program)
This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that broadcast traffic information (see page 75).
Notes:
• In some cases, the text characters displayed on the AV receiver may not be identical to those broadcast by the radio station. Also, unexpected characters may be dis­played when unsupported characters are received. This is not a malfunction.
• If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data may be displayed intermittently or not at all.

Recording

This section explains how to record the selected input source to a component with recording capability, and how to record audio and video from different sources.
Notes:
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded.
• Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.
• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be recorded. Only analog inputs can be recorded.
• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.
AV Recording
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cas­sette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TV/TAPE OUT jack. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jack. See pages 26 to 39 for hookup information.
1
Use the input selector buttons to select the source that you want to record.
You can watch the source while record­ing. The AV receiver’s Master Volume control has no effect on recording.
Recording Separate AV Sources
Here you can record audio and video from completely separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact that when an audio-only input source (i.e., TV/ Tape, Tuner, CD or Phono) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged.
In the following example, audio from the CD player con­nected to the CD IN, and video from the camcorder con­nected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

About the Listening Modes

The AV receiver’s listening modes can transform your listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with high fidelity and stunning surround sound.
Direct
In this mode, audio from the input source is output directly with minimal processing, providing high-fidel­ity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels are output as they are.
Stereo
Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.
Mono
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke DVDs.
Multichannel
This mode is for use with PCM multichannel sources.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for
7.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops the listener. As well as music and movies, video games can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and vivid imaging. If you’re not using any surround back speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be used instead of Dolby Pro Logic IIx.
• Dolby PLIIx Movie
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).
• Dolby PLIIx Music
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).
• Dolby PLIIx Game
Use this mode with video games, especially those that bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.
Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height
Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height is designed to more effec­tively use existing program material when height chan­nel speaker outputs are present. Dolby Pro Logic IIz
Height can be used to upmix a variety of sources from movies and music, but are particularly well-suited to upmix game content.
Dolby Digital
Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo, and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most common digital surround-sound format, and it’ll put you right in the middle of the action, just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.
5.1-channel source + Dolby EX
These modes expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1­channel playback. They’re especially suited to Dolby EX soundtracks that include a matrix-encoded surround back channel. The additional channel adds an extra dimension and provides an enveloping surround sound experience, perfect for rotating and fly-by sound effects.
Dolby Digital Plus
Developed for use with HDTV, including the new video disc formats Blu-ray and HD DVD, this is the latest mul­tichannel audio format from Dolby. It supports up to 7.1 channels with 48 kHz sampling rate.
Dolby TrueHD
Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc for­mats, this new Dolby format offers up to 7.1 discrete channels of digital audio with 48/96 kHz, up to 5.1-chan­nels with 192 kHz sampling rate.
5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Music
These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music mode to expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel play­back.
5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Movie
These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie mode to expand 5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.

DTS Express
This format supports up to 5.1 channels and a lower sam­pling rate of 48 kHz. Applications include interactive audio and commentary encoding for HD DVD Sub Audio and Blu-ray Secondary Audio. Also broadcast and media servers.
DSD
DSD stands for Direct Stream Digital and is the format used to store digital audio on Super Audio CDs (SACD). This mode can be used with Super Audio CDs that fea­ture multichannel audio.
Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion™
Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion™ is a scalable system that adds new speakers to improve surround impression. Starting with a 5.1 system Dynamic Sur­round Expansion first adds Wide channels for the biggest impact on envelopment. Research in human hearing has proven that information from the Wide channels is much more critical in the presentation of a realistic soundstage than then Back Surround channels found in traditional
7.1 systems. Dynamic Surround Expansion then creates a pair of Height channels to reproduce the next most important acoustical and perceptual cues. In addition to these new Wide and Height channels, Dynamic Sur­round Expansion applies Surround Envelopment Pro­cessing to enhance the blend between the front and surround channels.

THX Loudness Plus
THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology featured in THX Ultra2 Plus™ and THX Select2 Plus™ Certified receivers. With THX Loudness Plus, home theater audiences can now experience the rich details in a surround mix at any volume level. A consequence of turning the volume below Reference Level is that certain sound elements can be lost or perceived differently by the listener. THX Loudness Plus compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is reduced by intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel levels and frequency response. This enables users experience the true impact of soundtracks regardless of the volume setting. THX Loudness Plus is automatically applied when listening in any THX listening mode. The new THX Cinema, THX Music, and THX Games modes are tailored to apply the proper THX Loudness Plus settings for each type of content.

Audyssey
For Dynamic EQ™, Reference Level and Dynamic Volume, you cannot change the settings before completing Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup.
Dynamic EQ Off: Audyssey Dynamic EQ off (default).
On: Audyssey Dynamic EQ on.
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.
Reference Level
Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film reference. To achieve the same reference level in a home theater system each speaker level must be adjusted so that –30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening position. A home theater system automatically calibrated by Audyssey MultEQ will play at reference level when the master volume control is set to the 0 dB position. At that level you can hear the mix as the mixers heard it. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the standard film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the ref­erence response and surround envelopment when the volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film refer­ence level is not always used in music or other non-film content. The Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset provides three offsets from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard.
Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset
0dB: This is the default setting and should be used when listening to movies. 5dB: Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range, such as
classical music.
10 dB: Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a wider dynamic range. This
setting should also be selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at 10 dB below film reference.
15 dB: Select this setting for pop/rock music or other program material that is mixed
at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamic range.
Note:
If “Dynamic EQ” setting is set to “Off”, this setting cannot be selected.
Dynamic Volume (see page 50)
Off: Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ off (default).
Light: Light Compression Mode becomes active.
Medium: Medium Compression Mode becomes active.
Heavy: Heavy Compression Mode becomes active. This setting affects volume the
most, causing all sounds to be of equal loudness.
Note:
After Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup is completed, even if “Equalizer” setting is not set to “Audyssey”, when Dynamic EQ is set to “On”, “Equalizer” settings is set to “Audyssey”. When “Dynamic Volume” is set to effective, “Equalizer” setting is set to “Audyssey” and “Dynamic EQ” is set to “On”. When “Dynamic EQ” is set to “Off”, “Dynamic Volume” becomes “Off” automatically.

IntelliVolume
With IntelliVolume, you can set the input level for each input selector individually. This is useful if one of your source components is louder or quieter than the others. If a component is noticeably louder than the others, use the Left [e] button to reduce its input level. If it’s noticeably quieter, use the Right [r] button to increase its input level.
IntelliVolume 12 dB to +12 dB (default: 0 dB)
A/V Sync
When using your DVD player’s progressive scanning function, you may find that the picture and sound are out of sync. With the A/V Sync setting, you can correct this by applying a delay to the audio signal.
To view the TV picture while setting the delay, press [Enter]. To return to the previous screen, press the [Return] button.
A/V Sync 0 ms to 250 ms in 2 ms steps (default: 0 ms)
If HDMI Lip Sync is enabled (see page 107), and your TV or display supports HDMI Lip Sync, the displayed delay time will be the summation of the A/V Sync delay time and the HDMI Lip Sync delay time. The HDMI Lip Sync delay time is displayed underneath in parentheses.
Note:
A/V Sync is disabled when the Direct listening mode is used with an analog input source.
