See “Selecting the Listening Modes” on page 90 for information on the use of the Listening Mode buttons.
Using the Listening Modes—Continued Dolby TrueHD Designed to take full advantage of the additional storage space offered by the new Blu-ray and HD DVD disc formats, this new Dolby format offers up to 7.1 discrete channels of digital audio with 48/96 kHz, up to 5.1-channels with 192 kHz sampling rate. For the signals supported by the AV controller, see page 94. 5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Music These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music mode to expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel playback.
Using the Listening Modes—Continued Neural THX 5.1/7.1 Neural-THX Surround employs psychoacoustic frequency domain processing, which allows delivery of a more detailed sound stage, with superior channel separation and localization of audio elements. The Neural THX 5.1 and Neural THX 7.1 modes can expand any 2-channel stereo source for 5.1- or 7.1-channel playback, respectively. Use them with CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD, and other 2-channel stereo sources, including video games.
Using the Listening Modes—Continued Onkyo Original DSP Modes Mono Movie This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is, while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other speakers, giving presence to even mono material. 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.

Zone 2 and Zone 3—Continued Using the Remote Controller in Zone 2/3 and Multiroom Control Kits To control the AV controller with the remote controller while you’re in Zone 2 or Zone 3, you’ll need a commercially available multiroom remote control kit for each zone. • Multiroom kits are made by Niles and Xantech. These kits can also be used when there isn’t a clear line of sight to the AV controller’s remote sensor, such as when it’s installed inside a cabinet.
Controlling Other Components You can control your other components, including those made by other manufacturers, with the remote controller. This section explains how to: • Enter the remote control code for a component that you want to control: DVD, TV, VCR, etc. • Learn commands directly from another component’s remote controller (see page 140). • Program the Macro buttons to perform a sequence of up to eight remote control actions (see page 141).
Controlling Other Components—Continued Remote Control Codes for Integra/Onkyo Components Connected via Integra/Onkyo components that are connected via are controlled by pointing the remote controller at the AV controller, not the component. This allows you to control components that are out of view, in a rack, for example.
Controlling Other Components—Continued To control another component, point the remote controller at it and use the buttons explained below. (You must select the appropriate remote controller mode with the Remote Mode buttons first.) With some components, certain buttons may not work as expected, and some may not work at all.

Press the [On] button to turn on the AV controller. 3. Press the [CD] Input Selector button to select the CD input source. 4.
Troubleshooting If you have any trouble using the AV controller, look for a solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, contact the dealer from whom you purchased this unit. If you can’t resolve the issue yourself, try resetting the AV controller before contacting the dealer from whom you purchased this unit. To reset the AV controller to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [VCR/DVR] button, press the [On/Standby] button.
Troubleshooting—Continued There’s no sound with a certain signal format • Check the digital audio output setting on the source component. On some game consoles, such as those that can play DVDs, the default setting is off. • With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio format from a menu or with the [Audio] button on your DVD player’s remote controller. • Depending on the input signal, some listening modes cannot be selected (pages 91-96).
Troubleshooting—Continued The immediate display does not appear • The immediate display will not appear when the input signal from the COMPONENT VIDEO IN is output to a device connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT. • Depending on the input signal, the immediate display may not appear when the input signal from the HDMI IN is output to a device connected to the HDMI OUT. Tuner Reception is noisy, FM stereo reception is noisy, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn’t appear • Relocate your antenna.
Troubleshooting—Continued Others The sound changes when I connect my headphones • When a pair of headphones is connected, the listening mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already set to Stereo, Mono, or Direct. The speaker volume cannot be set as required • When the Automatic Speaker Setup function is used, or the volume is adjusted on the onscreen setup menus, the maximum possible volume setting may change.
