About the Listening Modes
The AV receivers listening modes can transform your listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with high delity and stunning surround sound.

Pure Audio Dolby Digital

Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most common digital surround-sound format, and itll put you right in the middle of the action, just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.

DTS-HD Master Audio

This mode expands 5.1-channel sources for 7.1channel playback. It does this by analyzing the composition of the surround source, optimizing the ambient and directional sounds to produce the surround back channel output.

THX Music Mode

Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc formats, this new DTS format offers up to 7.1 discrete channels of uncompressed digital audio with 96 kHz/24-bit sampling rate and signal resolution. The AV receiver supports 7.1-channel sources up to 96 kHz and 5.1-channel sources up to 192 kHz.
This mode is designed for use with music. It expands 5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.

THX Games Mode

This mode is designed for use with video games. It can expand 2-channel and 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback.

THX Surround EX

Neural THX 5.1/7.1
Neural-THX Surround employs psychoacoustic frequency domain processing, which allows delivery of a more detailed sound stage, with superior channel separation and localization of audio elements. The Neural THX 5.1 and Neural THX 7.1 modes can expand any 2-channel stereo source for 5.1- or 7.1-channel playback, respectively. Use them with CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD, and other 2-channel stereo sources, including video games. Neural-THX Surround can also be used by broadcasters to encode and transmit surroundsound content over a stereo signal, which listeners can enjoy as either surround sound or normal stereo. XM Satellite Radio, for example, is using Neural-THX Surround on select channels, which the AV receiver can expand from 5.1 channels to 7.1 channels.
This mode expands 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1channel playback. Its 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.
DSD stands for Direct Stream Digital and is the format used to store digital audio on Super Audio CDs (SACD). This mode can be used with SACDs that feature multichannel audio.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

Camcorder video signal audio signal
Recording the Input Source
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TAPE OUT or DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT jacks. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVR) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks. See pages 27 to 43 for hookup information.
DVD VCR/DVR CBL/SAT GAME/TV AUX 1 AUX 2
Use the input selector buttons to select the source that you want to record. See Which Connections Should I Use? on page 28 to see which signals can be output and recorded. You can watch the source while recording it. The AV receivers MASTER VOLUME control has no effect on recording.
Prepare the camcorder and CD player for playback. Prepare the VCR for recording. Press the [AUX 2] 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, then start playback on the camcorder and CD player.

The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least 5 seconds, and then plug it back in again. Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by this units malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly. For North American and Australian models, set the AV receiver to Standby before disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet. For other models, set the AV receiver to Standby and the POWER switch to OFF before disconnecting the power cord.
