DTS-ES

DTS-ES supports up to 6.1 channels. The TX-L55 sup-
ports both

DTS-ES Discrete

and

DTS-ES Matrix

.

Discrete mode

is for use with DTS 6.1

material. With an additional surround-back
channel, each 6.1 channel is digitally recorded for a real-
istic sense of movement and space. Use it with CDs,
DVDs, and LDs that bear the DTS-ES logo.

Matrix mode

creates 6.1-channel sur-

round from DTS 5.1 material. Since DTS
5.1 includes surround-back channel infor-
mation, the channel can be reconstructed
for playback on 6.1-channel systems. Use
this mode with CDs, DVDs, and LDs that bear the DTS-
ES or DTS logo.

DTS+Neo:6

This mode uses the Neo:6 decoder to create 6.1-channel
surround from DTS 5.1-channel material. Use it with
CDs, DVDs, and LDs that bear the DTS or DTS 96/24
logo.

DTS+Dolby EX

This mode uses the Dolby EX decoder to create 6.1-
channel surround from DTS 5.1-channel material. Use it
with CDs, DVDs, and LDs that bear the DTS or DTS 96/
24 logo.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

Orchestra

Suitable for classical or operatic music. The center
speaker is turned off and the surround channels are
emphasized in order to widen the stereo image. In addi-
tion, it simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

Unplugged

Suitable for acoustic instrument sounds, vocals, and jazz
music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simu-
lates the stage-front experience.

Studio-Mix

Suitable for rock and 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

Adds realistic acoustics to TV programs produced in a
TV studio. In addition, it adds surround effects to the
entire sound and clarity to voices.

All Ch Stereo

Ideal for background music, stereo audio is output by the
front, surround, and surround back channels, filling the
entire listening area.
