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).

Surround back left and right speakers

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.

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.

Corner

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 2–3 feet (60– 100 cm) above ear level.

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 wall length

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 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid bass. To get the best from your surround sound system, you need to set the speaker settings. You can do this automatically (see page 48) or manually (see page 89).

Using Dipole Speakers

You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and right and surround back left and right speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in two directions. Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to indicate how they should be positioned. The surround

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 44). 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 amp 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.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Strip about 5/8" (15 mm)

of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.

Unscrew the terminal.

5/8"(15 mm)

• If you use 4 or 5 speakers, connect each of the two surround speakers to the SURR L/R terminals. Do not connect them to the SURR BACK 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.

Fully insert the bare

wires.

Screw the terminal tight.

The following illustration shows which speaker should be connected to each pair of terminals. If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURR BACK L terminals.

Bi-amping the Front Speakers

The FRONT L/R and SURR BACK 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 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” setting to “Bi-Amp” to enable biamping (see page 44).

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.

Bi-amping Speaker Hookup

Connecting Antenna

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas. The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.

FM ANTENNA jack

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

■ North American models

AM ANTENNA push terminals

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 20).

Connecting the AM Loop Antenna

The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use only.

Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting

the tabs into the base, as shown.

Connect both wires of the AM loop

antenna to the AM antenna push terminals, as shown.

(The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so they can be connected either way around.) Make sure that the wires are attached securely and that the push terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

Insert the plug fully into the jack.

■ Other models

Insert the plug fully into the jack.

Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.

Use thumbtacks or something similar to

fix the FM antenna into position.

Thumbtacks, etc.

Push Insert wire Release

Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust the position of the AM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.

Keep the antenna as far away as possible from your AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 20).

Caution:

Be careful that you don’t injure yourself when using thumbtacks.

Connecting the AV Receiver—Continued

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.

Notes:

• 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 an Outdoor AM Antenna

If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.

Outdoor antenna

Insulated antenna cable

AM loop antenna

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left connected. Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

■ Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter

It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown.

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.

For video components, you must make two connections—one for audio, one for video.

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’s also recommended that you set the “Immediate Display” preference to “Off” (see page 106), the “Picture Adjust” setting to the default (see page 104), and the “Output Resolution” setting to “Through” (see page 108).

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. When you connect audio equipment to an HDMI or COMPONENT input, you must assign that input to an input selector (see pages 41 and 42).

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 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) 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)

*2,

so only HDCP-compatible components

can display the picture.

The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard: Repeater System, Deep Color, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby TrueHD,

Dolby Digital Plus, SA-CD, 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 player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.

, so TVs and displays

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. Commercially available HDMI cables (supplied with some components) should be used to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.

*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.

Connecting the AV Receiver—Continued

Making HDMI Connections

Step 1:

Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible Blu-ray player/DVD player, TV, projector, and so on.

Step 2:

Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Input Setup (see page 41).

■ 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 22 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 109).

Hint!

To listen to audio received by the HDMI IN jacks through your TV’s speakers, set the “Audio TV Out” setting to “On” (see page 109), and set your DVD 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 supported.

• 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 109), or “TV Control” is set to “Enable” (see page 110) and you’re listening through your TV’s speakers, if you turn up the AV receiver volume control, the sound will be output by the AV receiver’s speakers. 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.

Notes:

• If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the AV receiver’s GND screw. With some turntables, connecting the ground wire may produce an audible hum. If this happens, disconnect it.

• If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type cartridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp or MC transformer. Connect your turntable to the head amp or transformer, and connect that to the AV receiver’s PHONO IN L/R jacks.

Connecting the AV Receiver—Continued

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 24 to 35).

Step 2:

Make the u connection (see illustration below).

Step 3:

If you’re using an MD, CDR, or RI Dock, change the Input Display (see page 47).

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. If your DVD player is connected to the AV receiver’s DVD multichannel input, you’ll need to press the [Multi CH] button repeatedly and select “Multich” to hear all channels

(see page 54), as the Direct Change u function selects the DVD FRONT L/R jacks.

■ 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 122).

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 con- nect 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.

Automatic Speaker Setup

(Audyssey MultEQ

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 proper octave-to-octave balance at any volume level (see page 100). Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.

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.

This is the center position of your listening area, or the listening position if there’s only one listener.

Notes:

• Before starting Audyssey MultEQ

Automatic 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 automatic 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 innacurate results.

• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices.

• Cell phones should be turned off or placed away from all audio electronics during the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in use).

Changing the Speaker Settings Manually

If you wish to make changes to the settings found during the automatic speaker setup, follow the directions on see pages 89–96.

Notes:

• Please note that THX recommends any THX main speakers be set to “80Hz(THX)”. If you set up your speakers using the Automatic Speaker Setup function, please make sure manually that any THX speakers are set to 80 Hz (THX) crossover (see page 89).

• 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 the automatic 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 the automatic 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 76).

PTY (Program Type)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type (see page 76).

TP (Traffic Program)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that broadcast traffic information (see page 76).

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.

• You cannot record from the DVD analog multichannel input.

• Various restrictions apply to digital recording. Refer to the manuals supplied with your digital recording equipment for more details.

• Digital input signals are output by only the digital outputs, and analog input signals are output by only the analog outputs. There is no internal conversion from digital to analog or vice versa.

• 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 TAPE OUT, DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT or DIGITAL COAXIAL OUT jacks. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the to VCR/DVR OUT jack. See pages 22 to 38 for hookup information.

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., 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

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.

On your recorder, start recording.

On the source component, start playback.

If you select another input source during recording, that input source will be recorded.

VCRCD player

Prepare the camcorder and CD player for

playback.

Prepare the VCR for recording.

Press the [AUX] input selector button.

Press the [CD] input selector button.

This selects the CD player as the audio source, but leaves the camcorder as the video source.

Start recording on the VCR and start play-

back on the camcorder and CD player.

The video from the camcorder and the audio from the CD player are recorded by the VCR.

• THX Surround EX

Button:

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

Mono Movie

Button: This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono

sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is, while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other speakers, giving presence to even mono material.

Orchestra

Button: 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

Button: 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

Button: 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

Button: This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows pro-

duced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire sound, and clarity to voices.

All Ch Stereo

Button: Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire lis-

tening area with stereo sound from the front, surround, and surround back speakers.

Full Mono

Button: 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)

Button: With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 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.

Speaker Setup

Some of the settings in this section are set automatically by the Automatic Speaker Setup function (see page 48). Here you can check the settings made by the Automatic Speaker Setup function, or set them manually, which is useful if you change one of the connected speakers after using the Automatic Speaker Setup function.

Note:

The Speaker Setup cannot be carried out while headphones are connected to the AV receiver.

Speaker Settings

See “Speaker Settings” on page 44.

Speaker Configuration

These settings are set automatically by the Automatic Speaker Setup function (see page 48).

With these settings, you can specify which speakers are connected and a crossover frequency for each speaker. The following crossover frequencies can be specified: “Full Band”, “40Hz”, “45Hz”, “50Hz”, “55Hz”, “60Hz”, “70Hz”, “80Hz (THX)”, “90Hz”, “100Hz”, “110Hz”, “120Hz”, “130Hz”, “150Hz”, or “200Hz”. Specify “Full Band” for speakers that can output lowfrequency bass sounds adequately, for example, speakers with a good sized woofer. For smaller speakers, specify a crossover frequency. Sounds below the crossover frequency will be output by the subwoofer instead of the speaker. Refer to your speaker’s manuals to determine the optimum crossover frequencies.

Please note that THX recommends any THX main speakers be set to “80Hz(THX)”. If you set up your speakers using the Automatic Speaker Setup function, please make sure manually that any THX speakers are set to 80 Hz (THX) crossover.

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.

Use the Up and Down [q]/[w] buttons to select “Loudness Plus”, and use the Left and Right [e]/ [r] buttons to select:

PLIIx/Neo:6 Music Mode Settings

■ PLIIx Music (2ch Input)

These settings provide for playing any 2-channel digital source such as Dolby Digital, or 2-channel analog/PCM source in the Dolby PLIIx Music listening mode.

Panorama

With this function, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode.

On: Panorama function on.

Off: Panorama function off (default).

Advanced Setup—Continued

Dimension

With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. It can be adjusted from –3 to +3 (default is 0). Lower settings move the sound field forward. Higher settings move it backward.

If the stereo image feels too wide, or there is too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it is in mono, or there is not enough surround sound, move it backward.

Center Width

With this function, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic

II Music or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you are using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you are 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. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default is 3).

■ Neo:6 Music

Center Image

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel surround sound from 2-channel (stereo) sources. With this setting, you can specify by how much the front left and right channel output is attenuated in order to create the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default is 2). This setting is unavailable if no surround speakers are connected. When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the

sound is located centrally. This setting works well when the listening position is considerably off center. When set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenuated, maintaining the original stereo balance.

Dolby EX Input Signal Setting

■ Dolby EX

This setting determines how Dolby EX encoded signals are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround back speakers are connected. This setting is effective with Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD only.
