This setting determines which speakers are used to out-
put mono audio when the Mono listening mode is used.

 

Mono audio is output from the front left and 
right speakers (default).

 

Mono audio is output from the center speaker.

Early movies had a mono soundtrack that suffered from 
audible hiss and a poor high-frequency response due to 
the quality of the film. To improve matters, the high-fre-
quencies were boosted before being recorded onto film, 
and then attenuated to their original levels during play-
back in the movie theater. Some old movies have been 
transferred to newer distribution media without the high 
frequencies being attenuated, creating a harsh sound 
with pronounced hiss. With the Academy Filter, which is 
based on the playback techniques used in those days, you 
can attenuate those high-frequencies to their original lev-
els and enjoy the movie as it was intended to be heard.

 

Academy Filter on.

 

Academy Filter off (default).

 

If no surround back speakers are connected, this item 
will be “PLII/Neo:6” instead of “PLIIx/Neo:6.”

With this function, you can broaden the width of the 
front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx 
Music listening mode.

 

Panorama function on.

 

Panorama function off (default).

 

■

 

With this setting, you can move the sound field forward 
or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music 
listening mode. The default setting is 3. Higher settings 
move the sound field forward. Lower settings move it 
backward. 
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much 
surround sound, move the sound field forward to 
improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image 
feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround 
sound, move it backward.

 

■

 

With this function, you can adjust the width of the sound 
from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic 
IIx Music listening mode. If you’re using a center 
speaker, with Dolby Pro Logic IIx, the center channel 
sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you’re not 
using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be 
distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a 
phantom center). This setting controls the front left, 
right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight 

of the center channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 
7 (default is 3).

 

■

 

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel 
surround sound from 2-channel (stereo) sources. With 
this setting, you can specify by how much the front left 
and right channel output is attenuated in order to create 
the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default 
is 3).
When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is 
attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the 
sound is located centrally. This setting works well when 
the listening position is considerably off center. When 
set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu-
ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.

 

These settings apply to the Onkyo original DSP listening 
modes.

 

■

 

With this setting, you can turn off the reverb for the front 
speakers. This is useful when playing live material that 
already contains live reverberation and the reverb added 
by the DSP listening mode simply blurs the original 
sound. When the Front Effect is turned off, no reverb is 
added to the front left, right, and center speakers and the 
original reverberation can be heard as it is.

 

Front Effect on (default).

 

Front Effect off.

 

■

 

With this setting, you can adjust the amount of reverb to 
suit your listening environment, source material, and so 
on. The available settings are: Low, Middle (default), 
and High.

 

■

 

With this setting, you can adjust the reverb time to suit 
your listening environment, source material, and so on. 
The available settings are: Short, Middle (default), and 
Long.
