GLOSSARY
DOLBY®TRUEHD
Dolby TrueHD is Dolby’s next-generation lossless
technology developed for high-definition disc-based
media. Dolby TrueHD audio is bit-for-bit identical to
the highest-resolution studio masters. Together with
high-definition video, it offers an unprecedented home theater experience.
Now listeners can enjoy sound as stunning as their high-definition pictures.
Dolby TrueHD is a mandatory standard for the HD DVD format and an
optional standard for Blu-ray Disc.
DOLBY®DIGITAL PLUS
Dolby Digital Plus provides the flexibility and efficiency
to deliver more channels of compelling surround
sound for high-definition video via cable and direct
broadcast satellite (DBS), via disc-based media, and via online content. The
superior coding efficiencies enable a high-quality multichannel audio
experience without negatively impacting bit budgets allocated for video
performance or additional feature sets.
DTS-HD®MASTER AUDIO
DTS-HD Master Audio is capable of delivering audio
that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master.
DTS-HD Master Audio delivers audio at super-high
variable bit rates—24.5 mega-bits per second (Mbps) on Blu-ray Disc and
18.0 Mbps on HD DVD—that are significantly higher than on standard DVDs.
This bit stream is so fast, and the transfer rate so high, that it can deliver 7.1
audio channels that are identical to the studio master. With DTS-HD Master
Audio, you will be able to experience movies and music exactly as the artist
intended: clear, pure, and uncompromised.
DTS-HD®HIGH RESOLUTION AUDIO
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio can deliver up to
7.1 channels that are virtually indistinguishable from
the original. DTS-HD High Resolution Audio delivers
audio at high constant bit rates superior to those on standard DVDs—6.0
Mbps on Blu-ray Disc and 3.0 Mbps on HD DVD. It allows content creators
to deliver rich, high-definition audio on movies where disc space may not
allow for DTS-HD Master Audio.
CINEMAFILTER
The tonal balance of a film soundtrack can be
edgy and bright when played back over audio
equipment in your home—this is because film
soundtracks are designed to be played back in
large theaters, using commercial equipment. Onkyo has developed its own
solution that restores the correct tonal balance of a movie soundtrack in the
smaller environs of your home theater.
™
THEATER DIMENSIONAL
Onkyo's exclusive Theater Dimensional circuitry
takes the complexity out of conventional surroundsound set-ups and lets you experience the
excitement of surround sound from as few as two
ordinary speakers. Want more? Theater Dimensional's unique multi-speaker
modes let you place up to five speakers conveniently by the TV, for the most
realistic virtual-surround sound possible.
INTELLIVOLUME
More often than not, the components connected to your A/V receiver are
set at different volume levels.With IntelliVolume, you can customize the input
volume settings for all of the inputs connected to the A/V receiver.You can
vary the settings from -12dB to +12dB to achieve even levels when switching
from one component to another.
COLOR-CODED SPEAKER TERMINALS
These color-coded speaker terminals
take the guesswork out of matching
wires to the correct terminals. Simply
attach the color-coded label to the
speaker cable, and attach the cable to
the same-colored speaker terminal for
easy speaker connection.
MEETING THX™BENCHMARKS IN THX CERTIFICATION
From early design concepts to product rollout,
THX and Onkyo work together on selected A/V
receivers. Every detail is meticulously mapped to
THX performance standards: either THX™Ultra2™or THX™Select2™.THX
engineers spend countless hours testing and analyzing sound quality, usability
and interoperability. In addition, they perform qualitative evaluations on the
A/V receivers to ensure surround-sound presentations worthy of THX
certification.
OPTIMUM GAIN VOLUME CIRCUITRY
To produce volume at low levels, conventional amplifiers must initially drop a
signal close to the noise floor, permanently tainting it with a small amount of
noise. When amplified, both the signal and the unwanted noise are magnified.
Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry adjusts the gain so that less than half the
amount of attenuation is needed, ensuring the signal never comes close to
the noise floor.This protects the signal against noise, resulting in a dramatically
clearer sound.
PURE AUDIO MODE
Pure Audio Mode turns off the A/V receiver’s display and keeps video in the
digital domain (via HDMI) to ensure that the audio signal is protected against
interference from external circuitry.
CROSSOVER ADJUSTMENT
Depending on your choice of Onkyo A/V receiver, you can set the subwoofer
crossover at different frequencies. Being able to choose where the subwoofer
takes over bass-producing responsibilities from the front speakers gives you
more precise reproduction of movie soundtracks. It also means you can
select from a wider range of speaker packages, and match speakers with
differing crossover frequencies to your home theater system.

to heat. We then added an aramid layer to create New A-OMF.The evolution
has been taken a step further with A-OMF Monocoque—essentially sharing
the same material composition as New A-OMF but forming a single,
continuous cover over the cone.All four diaphragm types achieve improved
midrange clarity and imaging
for an astonishingly vivid,
natural sound.
(OMF),A-OMF & A-OMF M
Onkyo Micro Fiber (OMF), made from a pure
cotton weave to absorb vibrations, was first
developed to create a thick yet rigid diaphragm
that enables an extremely fast, accurate response.
The next stage saw the advent of A-OMF, which
incorporates a PEN (polyethylene naphthalate)
layer with a flexible cotton weave that makes
speaker cones even stronger and more resistant
