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.
16
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
6
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.

• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an
attic or loft.
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line
of sight to your local FM transmitter.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated
well away from power lines and other high-voltage
equipment.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

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.
*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 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

■ “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.

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.

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.

• Room correction and speaker setup cannot be
performed while a pair of headphones is
connected.
• It takes about 30 minutes to complete the room
correction and speaker setup for six positions.
Total measurement time varies depending on the
number of speakers.
• 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.
Next
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.

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 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.

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
90
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.

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.

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.

Dolby
PLIIx Music (2ch Input)
These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources.
If you’re not using any surround back speakers, these settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, instead of Dolby Pro
Logic IIx.
PanoramaOn: Panorama function on.
Off: Panorama function off (default).
With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Music listening mode.
Dimension–3 to +3 (default: 0)
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music
listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field backward. Lower settings move it forward.
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve
the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround sound, move
it backward.
Center Width0 to 7 (default: 3)
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic
IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only
the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front
left and right speakers to create a phantom center). This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix,
allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound.

this setting, you can specify by how much the front left and right channel output is attenuated in order to create
the center channel.
Setting a value “0” in the middle is set to hear a sound. Sound is spread in left and right (the outside) so that the
set value is made big. Please adjust by liking.
