Using the Listening Modes

—Continued

DTS-ES

DTS-ES supports up to 6.1 channels. The HT-R520 sup-
ports both DTS-ES Discrete and DTS-ES Matrix.

Discrete

mode is for use with DTS 6.1

material. With an additional surround-back
channel, each 6.1 channel is digitally recorded for a real-
istic sense of movement and space. Use it with CDs,
DVDs, and LDs that bear the DTS-ES logo.

Matrix

mode creates 6.1-channel surround

from DTS 5.1 material. Since DTS 5.1
includes surround-back channel informa-
tion, the channel can be reconstructed for
playback on 6.1-channel systems. Use this
mode with CDs, DVDs, and LDs that bear the DTS-ES
or DTS logo.

DTS+Neo:6

This mode uses the Neo:6 decoder to create 6.1-channel
surround from DTS 5.1-channel material. Use it with
CDs, DVDs, and LDs that bear the DTS or DTS 96/24
logo.

DTS+Dolby EX

This mode uses the Dolby EX decoder to create 6.1-
channel surround from DTS 5.1-channel material. Use it
with CDs, DVDs, and LDs that bear the DTS or DTS 96/
24 logo.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

Orchestra

Suitable for classical or operatic music. The center
speaker is turned off and the surround channels are
emphasized in order to widen the stereo image. In addi-
tion, it simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

Unplugged

Suitable for acoustic instrument sounds, vocals, and jazz
music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simu-
lates the stage-front experience.

Studio-Mix

Suitable for rock and 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

Adds realistic acoustics to TV programs produced in a
TV studio. In addition, it adds surround effects to the
entire sound and clarity to voices.

All Ch Stereo

Ideal for background music. The front, surround, and
surround back channels create a stereo image that fills
the entire listening area.
