Features

WRAT (Wide Range Amplifier Technology): This technology uses low-negative-feedback circuit topology for accurate signal reproduction, improved dynamic signal-to-noise ratio, and better delivery of power peaks.

24-bit/96kHz Digital-to-Analog Decoding: This receiver is equipped to decode 24-bit/96kHz PCM digital signals for playback of high-resolution recordings.

Construction: the steel chassis has ribbed side panels and large non-resonant feet to resist vibrations. The front panel is aluminum to enhance overall chassis rigidity and long-term durability.

On Screen Display (OSD): an OSD can be displayed on your television for easy system setup. The OSD can be sent through the S-video or composite video monitor output; there is a switch on the back panel that determines through which video monitor output the OSD is sent. The joystick/enter button on the remote makes display navigation and setting adjustment simple and convenient.

5.1 Multi-Channel Input: the receiver is equipped with a 5.1 multi-channel input for compatibility with future 5.1 channel decoders. The input consists of left front, right front, center, left surround, right surround and subwoofer RCA inputs. The level of the subwoofer channel can be set in the range of -30dB to +12dB, and the level of all the other channels can be independently set from -12dB to +12dB; once the levels have been set for equal playback volume, the master volume control is used to adjust overall volume.

Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS and 6 DSP Modes: in addition to straight Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic and DTS playback, this unit can apply each of the following DSP modes to PCM/analog sources:

  • Orchestra: This mode is best suited for classical and opera music. The center channel is turned off and the surround channels are emphasized to widen the stereo image. This will simulate the natural reverberation created by a large concert hall.
  • Unplugged: This mode is suitable for acoustic instrument sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simulates the acoustics encountered at stage front.
  • Studio-Mix: This mode is for rock and pop music. Playing music in this mode will give you a lively soundfield with a powerful acoustic image that will make you feel like you are in a club.
  • TV Logic: The TV Logic Mode offers the acoustics of a TV program being aired in the studio. It enhances the entire surround soundfield and clarity of conversation.
  • 5CH Stereo: This mode is best suited for background music, because the front and surround speakers are used to create a stereo image.
  • 3 Stereo: The 3 Stereo mode uses the front left, front right and center channel outputs only; surround channel signals are output from the front left and front channels.

Bass Management and Speaker Setup: speaker size settings can be made to ensure that small speakers do not receive full-range signals and to tell the receiver where to send signals. Speaker distance settings are used by the receiver to calculate and set the delay times required for proper surround sound playback.

  • Front Speakers: speaker size may be set to "Large" or "Small", and speaker distance may be set in the range of 1-foot (0.3 meter) to 30-feet (9 meters) in 1 foot (0.3 meter) increments.
  • Center Speaker: speaker size may be set to "Large", "Small" or "None", and speaker distance may be set in the range of 1-foot (0.3 meter) to 30-feet (9 meters) in 1 foot (0.3 meter) increments.
  • Surround Speakers: speaker size may be set to "Large" or "Small" or "None", and speaker distance may be set in the range of 1-foot (0.3 meter) to 30-feet (9 meters) in 1 foot (0.3 meter) increments.
  • Subwoofer: the subwoofer setting may be set to "Yes" or "No", and speaker distance may be set in the range of 1-foot (0.3 meter) to 30-feet (9 meters) in 1 foot (0.3 meter) increments. The LFE (Low Frequency Effect) level can be adjusted for Dolby Digital and DTS software.

Cinema Re-EQ (Re-Equalization) Circuitry: this circuitry provides a subtle high-frequency rolloff for proper playback of soundtracks in the home. This feature provides the means to easily remove excess treble response from soundtracks that were originally equalized to sound best in a large theater.

"Late Night" Feature: the "Late Night" feature limits the dynamic range of Dolby Digital recordings that have been encoded with dynamic range data. Limiting the dynamic range makes it easier to find a volume control setting that ensures the quiet sounds are not too quiet and the loud sounds are not too loud for night time listening. This allows you to comfortably listen to Dolby Digital recordings encoded with dynamic range data without the need to constantly adjust the volume to keep from waking family/neighbors.

"Front Effect" Feature: to preserve the presence and focus of live recordings that already contain a lot of reverb, this feature reduces the reverberation effect applied to the front channels while using the Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix and TV Logic DSP modes.

Reflect Level Adjustment: you can adjust the strength of direct sound reflection to suit the playback material, room acoustics and personal preferences. The reflect level may be set from -5dB to +5dB in 1dB increments.

Video Output with Audio Sources: you may watch the video from one of the video sources (Video1, Video2, DVD, etc.) while listening to the audio of an audio source (5.1 multi-channel, CD, Tape, Phono). The "Video Assign Setup" feature allows you to assign a video source to each audio source.

Source and Preset Naming: you may enter a name of up to 8 characters in length to each source and each radio preset.

"IntelliVolume" Setup: the "IntelliVolume" setup function allows you set a volume correction value in the range of -12dB to +12dB, in 1dB increments, for each source to prevent large jumps in volume when switching from one source to another. This feature eliminates the inconvenience of manually readjusting the volume control each time you switch from a source with a weak signal to a source with a strong signal and vice versa.

Sleep function: From the remote, you can set the unit to automatically turn off after as much as 90 minutes or as little as 10 minutes; choices are presented in 10 minute increments.

B Speaker Outputs Powered by Surround Amps: the B speaker outputs are powered by the left channel and right channel surround amplifiers.

Note: Since the B speaker outputs are powered by the surround channel amplifiers, the surround modes cannot be selected when the B speaker outputs are being used. If you select the B speakers while using one of the DSP modes, the surround mode will be cancelled.

Remote Control Functions

Unified/Learning Remote with Joy Stick Button: The supplied wireless remote is a unified/learning remote. The remote is pre-programmed to operate Onkyo CD, DVD, MD, and cassette players. Also, the remote can learn up to a total of 408 commands from infrared remotes of other brands of equipment. The actual number commands the remote can learn may vary depending on the particular codes learned. A joystick button simplifies menu navigation and doubles as an "enter" button.

Illumination: there is a "LIGHT" button on the remote that turns green button back lighting on/off. When the "LIGHT" button is pressed to turn on the illumination, the buttons remain illuminated until 5 seconds after the last button is pressed. Pressing the "LIGHT" button while the buttons are illuminated will turn off the button illumination.

Macros:  9 macros, consisting of as many as 16 button operations each, can be programmed into this remote. With the press of a single button, each macro will perform a series of up to 16 button operations in sequence.
