Onkyo-Original DSP Listening Modes
Listening Mode Description
Orchestra Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode emphasizes the surround
channels in order to widen the stereo image, and simulates the natural
O r c h e s t r a
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.
U n p l u g g e d
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
S t u d i o – M i x
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.
T V L o g i c
Game-RPG
In this mode, the sound has a dramatic feel with a similar atmosphere to
Orchestra mode.
G a m e – R P G
Game-Action In this mode, sound localization is distinct with emphasis on bass.
G a m e – A c t i o n
Game-Rock In this mode, sound pressure is emphasized to heighten live feel.
G a m e – R o c k
Game-Sports In this mode, reverberation is increased and sound localization decreased
slightly.
G a m e – S p o r t s
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.
A l l C h S t e r e o
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.
F u l l M o n o
T-D (Theater- With this mode you can enjoy a virtual surround sound even with only two
Dimensional) 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
T – D
reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode in an environment with
little or no natural reverb.

Direct In this mode, audio from the input source is output without surround-sound
processing. The speaker configuration (presence of speakers) and speaker
D i r e c t
distance settings are enabled, but much of the processing set via Home menu
is disabled. A/V Sync does not have effect on the analog audio. See
"Advanced Setup" for more details
Stereo Sound is output from the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.
S t e r e o
Mono Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono soundtrack, or use
it with the foreign language soundtracks recorded in the left and right
M o n o
channels of some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other sources
containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke DVDs.
Multichannel This mode is for use with PCM multichannel sources.
