Speaker Layout
The illustration shows which speakers are activated in each channel. See
“Speaker Configuration” for the speaker setup (➔ page 59).
■ Onkyo-Original DSP Listening Modes
A
This is mono (monophonic) sound.
S
This is stereo (stereophonic) sound. Two independent audio signal channels
are reproduced through two speakers.
D
This is 5.1-channel surround sound. This surround system has five main
channels of sound and a sixth subwoofer channel (called the point-one
channel).
F
This is 7.1-channel surround sound. This is a further sound enhancement to
5.1-channel sound with two additional speakers that provide greater sound
envelopment and more accurate positioning of sounds.
G
This is DTS-ES surround sound. This surround system can produce a discrete
or a matrix-encoded sixth channel from existing DTS 5.1 encoded material.
H
This is Dolby Digital EX surround sound. This provides a center back surround
channel from 5.1-channel sources.

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 In this mode, the sound has a dramatic
feel with a similar atmosphere to
Orchestra mode.
Game-Action In this mode, sound localization is
distinct with emphasis on bass.
Game-Rock In this mode, sound pressure is
emphasized to heighten live feel.
Game-Sports Suitable for audio source with much
reverberation.
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.
XCN
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.
