The available listening modes varies depending on the
sound type of the input source. The table below shows the
correlation between the input source types and listening
modes.

Note
• The listening mode is set to “STEREO” when a PCM sound with a
sampling frequency higher than 48kHz is played. Such high-
resolution sounds are reproduced from sources such as DVD
video.
• When the Speaker setup is set to 2 channels (SP 2CH), you can’t
select DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS or PLII MOVIE/PL II MUSIC. Also,
when speaker setup is set to 2 channels (SP 2CH) or 3 channels
(SP 3CH), you can’t select ORCHESTRA, UNPLUGGED,
STUDIO-MIX, TV LOGIC or ALL CH ST.
Checking the Sound System of the
Playing Source
The DVD Receiver will automatically detect the sound
system when DOLBY DIGITAL Surround (
), DTS
Surround (
), or PCM/MP3 DIGITAL (2 channel digital
stereo) is played back. The corresponding sound system
indicator lights in the DVD Receiver’s display.

■ Theater-Dimensional (T-D)* mode
The ideal home theater is realized by the multichannel sound
reproduction with the complete speaker configuration and
speaker positioning described on page 21. However,
sometimes it is difficult to meet all those conditions. In reality,
you may only have front speakers, or not be able to place the
surround speakers in position.
Even if your speaker system is not complete, you can enjoy
the multichannel surround sound by using the Theater-
Dimensional mode. Theater-Dimensional mode sets the
output channels to generate the most suitable virtual
surround reproduction according to the number of the
speaker channels set in “Speaker Setup” on page 28 or 29.
The importance of the speaker setup
Calibrating each speaker’s sound pressure is essential for
home theater sound reproduction. The same thing can be
said for virtual surround sound reproduction. Especially level
matching and the time alignment of the two speakers that
reproduce virtual surround signals becomes an even more
important factor than with normal multichannel reproduction.
For the DVD Receiver, the calibration for the multichannel
reproduction (see “Setting the Distance from the Listening
Position to Each Speaker” on page 29 and “Adjusting Each
Speaker’s Relative Volume Balance - Test Tone” on page 30)
provides the most appropriate level matching.
Notes
• For input sources which include surround channel signals like the
multichannel DOLBY DIGITAL and DTS surround sounds, virtual
processing is applied to those surround channel signals.
• For 2 channel input sources, the surround channel elements are
automatically extracted with DOLBY PRO LOGIC processing
before virtual processing is applied.
• For monaural or front 3 channel stereo sources, the virtual
surround effect does not work since those input sources do not
include the surround channel signals.
* Theater-Dimensional is a virtual surround technology developed
by Onkyo. This technology is approved by Dolby Laboratories for
the virtual surround processing of Virtual Dolby Digital and Virtual
Dolby Surround products.
