Using the Listening Modes-Continued DTS-ES Matrix This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks, which use a matrix-encoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1channel playback. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTSES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Matrix soundtrack. DTS Neo:6 This mode expands any 2-channel source for up to 7.1channel 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). 5.1-channel source + Neo:6 This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback.

DTS Surround Sensation With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround sound even with only two speakers. • Neo:6 Cinema + DTS Surround Sensation • Neo:6 Music + DTS Surround Sensation These modes use Neo:6 to expand stereo sources for virtual surround playback. Onkyo Original DSP Modes 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. 68
