Onkyo-Original DSP Listening Modes
Note
*1 For the Blu-ray Discs, Dolby Digital is used.
*2 AV receiver can input the DSD signal from HDMI IN. Setting the output setting on the player side to PCM might obtain a better
sound according to the player. In that case, set the output setting on the player side to PCM.
*3 Depending on the input source, DTS is used.
• The listening modes cannot be selected with some source formats.
DSD *2 (Continued from the previous page.)
DTS 96/24 *3 This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is high-resolution DTS with a 96
kHz sampling rate and 24-bit resolution, providing superior fidelity. Use it with DVDs
that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.
DTS Neo:6 This mode expands any 2-channel source for up to 5.1-channel playback. It uses seven
full-bandwidth channels of matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, providing a
very natural and seamless surround sound experience that fully envelops the listener.
• Neo:6 Cinema
Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).
• Neo:6 Music
Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS,
DVD).

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.
