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™.

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.

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 50). 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

surround speakers to the SURR/ZONE 3 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 50).

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 113).

• See “Controlling a TV” (page 143) and “Controlling a DVD Player, or DVD Recorder” (page 144) 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.

• The control does not support HDMI OUT SUB. Use HDMI OUT MAIN instead.

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.

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 47).

■ Video Signals

Digital video signals received by the HDMI IN jacks are normally output by the HDMI MAIN OUT and SUB 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 outputs, unless the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (see page 111).

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 114) for an -compatible TV.

•Set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (see page 111) 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.

Notes:

• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (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 111) 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.

The AV receiver can upconvert and downconvert between video formats, depending on the “Monitor Out” setting, which generally determines whether video signals are upconverted for the component video output or the HDMI output.

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.

■ “Monitor Out” Setting Set to “HDMI Main” or “HDMI Sub”

With the “Monitor Out” setting set to “HDMI Main” or “HDMI Sub” (see page 42), 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. Use the “HDMI Main” or

“HDMI Sub” setting if you connect the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT MAIN or HDMI OUT SUB, respectively, to your TV.

The composite video, S-Video, and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.

Note:

If not connected to the same output you have selected in the “Monitor Out” setting, the “Monitor Out” setting will be automatically switched to “Analog” (see page 27). In this case, the setting of the output resolution will be that for HDMI output (see page 45). However, it will be switched to “1080i” when “1080p” is selected, and to “Through” when “Auto” is selected.

■ “Monitor Out” Setting Set to “Both”, “Both(Main)” or “Both(Sub)”

With the “Monitor Out” setting set to “Both”,

DVD/BD player, etc.

“Both(Main)” or “Both(Sub)” (see page 42), video input signals flow through the AV receiver as shown, with composite video, S-Video, and component video sources all being upconverted for both HDMI outputs. Use the “Both”,

“Both(Main)” or “Both(Sub)” setting if you connect the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT MAIN and HDMI OUT SUB to your TVs.

AV receiver

The composite video, S-Video, and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.

Both: Video signals are output from both HDMI outputs at the resolution supported by both TVs. You cannot select “Resolution” setting. The “Picture Adjust” setting will be that for “HDMI Main”.

TV, projector, etc.

Both (Main): Video signals are output from both HDMI outputs but HDMI OUT MAIN will become a priority; depending on the resolution, video signals may not be output from HDMI OUT SUB.

Both (Sub): Video signals are output from both HDMI outputs but HDMI OUT SUB will become a priority; depending on the resolution, video signals may not be output from HDMI OUT MAIN.

Note:

The “Monitor Out” setting will be automatically switched to “Analog” if not connected to both outputs when “Both” is selected or if not connected to a priority output when “Both(Main)” or “Both(Sub)” is selected.

■ “Monitor Out” Setting Set to “Analog”

With the “Monitor Out” setting set to “Analog” (see page 42), video input signals flow through

DVD/BD player, etc.

the AV receiver as shown, with composite video and S-Video sources being upconverted for the component video output. Use this setting if you

connect the AV receiver’s COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT to your TV.

Composite video is upconverted to S-Video and S-Video is downconverted to composite video.

AV receiver

Note that these conversions only apply to the MONITOR OUT V and S outputs, not the VCR/DVR OUT V and S outputs. The composite video, S-Video, and component video outputs pass through their respective input signals as they are.

This signal flow also applies when the “Resolution” setting is set to “Through” (see page 46).

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 29 to 37 and 39).

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 52).

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 142).

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 or Zone 3 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 101). 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.

−Sixth measurement positions

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.

• Do not disconnect the speaker setup microphone during the room correction and speaker setup, unless you want to cancel the setup.

• Do not connect or disconnect any speakers during the room correction and speaker setup.

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.

Changing the Speaker Settings Manually

If you wish to make changes to the settings found during the room correction and speaker setup, follow the directions on pages 95 to 98.

Notes:

• 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 95).

• 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.

■ 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 78).

PTY (Program Type)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type (see page 78).

TP (Traffic Program)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that broadcast traffic information (see page 78).

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 40 for hookup information.

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.

Camcorder

video signal audio signal

On your recorder, start recording.

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.

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.

Page 91

Using the Listening Modes—Continued

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

The DTS digital surround-sound format supports up to

5.1 discrete channels and uses less compression for highfidelity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo.

DTS 96/24

This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is high-resolution DTS with a 96 kHz sampling rate and 24-bit resolution, providing superior fidelity. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.

DTS-ES Discrete

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks, which use a discrete surround back channel for true 6.1/

7.1-channel playback. The seven totally separate audio channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-degree sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan across the surround channels. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTSES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Discrete soundtrack.

DTS-ES Matrix

This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks, which use a matrix-encoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1channel playback. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTSES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Matrix soundtrack.

DTS Neo:6

This mode expands any 2-channel source for up to 7.1channel 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

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

• Neo:6 Music

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.

Using the Listening Modes—Continued

THX

Founded by George Lucas, THX develops stringent standards that ensure movies are reproduced in movie theaters and home theaters just as the director intended. THX Modes carefully optimize the tonal and spatial characteristics of the soundtrack for reproduction in the home-theater environment. They can be used with 2channel matrixed and multichannel sources. Surround back speaker output depends on the source material and the selected listening mode.

•THX Cinema

THX Cinema mode corrects theatrical soundtracks for playback in a home theater environment. In this mode, THX Loudness Plus is configured for cinema levels and Re-EQ, Timbre Matching, and Adaptive Decorrelation are active.

•THX Music

THX Music mode is tailored for listening to music, which is typically mastered at significantly higher levels than movies. In this mode, THX Loudness Plus is configured for music playback and only Timbre Matching is active.

•THX Games

THX Games mode is meant for spatially accurate playback of game audio, which is often mixed similarly to movies but in a smaller environment. THX Loudness Plus is configured for game audio levels, with Timbre Matching active.

• THX Select2 Cinema

This mode expands 5.1-channel sources for 7.1channel playback. It does this by analyzing the composition of the surround source, optimizing the ambient and directional sounds to produce the surround back channel output.

• THX Select2 Music

This mode is designed for use with music. It expands

5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.

• THX Select2 Games

This mode is designed for use with video games. It can expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback.

• THX Surround EX

This mode expands 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1channel playback. It’s especially suited to Dolby Digital EX sources. THX Surround EX, also known as Dolby Digital Surround EX, is a joint development between Dolby Laboratories and THX Ltd.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

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 acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.

TV Logic

This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows produced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire sound, and clarity to voices.

Game-RPG

Use this mode when playing role playing game discs.

Game-Action

Use this mode when playing action game discs.

Game-Rock

Use this mode when playing rock game discs.

Game-Sports

Use this mode when playing sports game discs.

All Ch Stereo

Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire listening 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)

With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 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.

The levels can be adjusted from –12.0 to +12.0 dB in 0.5 dB steps (–15.0 to +12.0 dB for the subwoofer).

Note:

You cannot get the test tone from speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in the “Speaker Configuration” (page 95).

Notes:

• The speakers cannot be calibrated while the output of the AV receiver is muted.

• The test tone is output at the standard level for THX, which is 0 dB (absolute volume setting 82). If you normally listen at volume settings below this, be careful because the test tone will be much louder.

Tip:

If you’re using a handheld sound level meter, adjust the level of each speaker so that it reads 75 dB SPL at the listening position, measured with C-weighting and slow reading.

Equalizer Settings

This setting is set automatically by Audyssey MultEQ With the Equalizer settings, you can adjust the tone of speakers individually with a 15-band equalizer. The volume of

each speaker can be set on this page.

Note:

This setting is fixed at “Yes” if “Loudness Plus” is set to “On”.

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.
