ture multichannel audio.
Onkyo Original DSP Modes
Mono Movie
This mode is suitable for old movies and
other mono sources. The center speaker out-
puts the sound as it is, while reverb is applied
to the sound output by the other speakers, giv-
ing presence to even mono material.
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.
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 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.
