Audio Adjust
3-3. Sound Effect
Turn on and off the various sound effects.
Parameter Setting
Initial value
a RE-EQ On, Off Off
b Upsampling On, Off Off
c Subwoofer On, Off On
(Ana/PCM)
d Late Night Off, Low, High Off
a) Re-EQ
Re-EQ (re-equalization) takes the edginess or “brightness” out of
your home cinema sound to compensate for the fact that sound
mixed for theaters may sound too bright when played back through
speakers in the home environment.
This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”
This parameter is enabled for listening modes other than the THX,
T-D, Direct, PL II Music, or Neo:6 Music listening mode.
b) Upsampling
Upsampling processes the input digital signal, or the digital signal
converted from an analog input source, and converts its digital
sampling frequency to twice its current frequency for an even further
detailed sound reproduction. This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”
When “On” is selected, the Upsampling indicator lights.
c) Subwoofer
When “Yes” is selected for the Subwoofer setting in the Speaker
Config sub-menu, set this to “Off” if you do not want to have sound
output from the subwoofer. This setting is only effective when the
input source is Analog/PCM. If “No” is selected for the Subwoofer
setting in the Speaker Config sub-menu, then this setting will not
appear.
d) Late Night
Cinema sound has a vast dynamic range; therefore, to hear the
quieter sounds such as human conversations, they must be played
back at larger volumes. This function is especially useful if you wish
to play a movie at low volumes during the nighttime.
This can be set to either “Off” or “Low,” or “High.”
When this parameter is set to High or Low, the dynamic range of the
sound is narrowed down to allow you to easily hear minute sounds at
low volume.
Off: Turns off the Late Night function.
Low: Lowers the dynamic range.
High: Narrows down the dynamic range.
Notes:
• The Late Night function is effective only on Dolby Digital
encoded software.
• The depth of the Late Night effect is determined by Dolby
Digital software. Some sounds may produce no or little effect.
3-4. Delay
This sub-menu gives you various ways to adjust the timing of the
audio output from the speakers to give certain soundfield effects or
to adjust for unwanted asynchronous video and audio tracks.
This sub-menu does not appear if “Direct” is selected as the
listening mode.
Parameter Setting
Initial value
a A/V Sync 0.0 ms to 74.0 ms 0.0 ms
Relative Delay
b Center –4.0 ms to +6.0 ms 0.0 ms
c Surr L/R –4.0 ms to +6.0 ms 0.0 ms
d Surr Back –4.0 ms to +6.0 ms 0.0 ms
a. A/V Sync
If a digital signal processor is connected, there may be times when
the audio and video from a DVD or LD player is not output in perfect
sync. The result is where the sound and picture do not match and the
sound is heard too early. In such a case, use this setting to properly
synchronize the audio and video. This setting can be set between 0 to
74.0 ms in 0.5-ms increments. Under normal circumstances, this can
left at 0 ms. If set between 25.0 and 74.0 ms, upsampling is fixed to
24.0 ms. For input sources using the multi channel port, this setting
will not appear.
Relative Delay
b. Center, c. Surr L/R, d. Surr Back
Besides level and delay adjustments, the DTR-7.2 provides the
ability to change or adjust the relative speaker position to fine tune
the soundfield for the listener. This is accomplished using Onkyo’s
unique Enhanced Spatial Positioning Algorithm. This adjustment
provides 10 milliseconds of delay for the speakers, which is
equivalent to moving the speaker 10 feet (3 meters) away. This
adjustment is set up to provide –4.0 or +6.0 milliseconds (–4 or +6
feet/–1.2 or +1.8 meters) of adjustment to the listener’s position.
Once the coarse adjustments--speaker level and distance
adjustments--are made, the system is set up to provide a typical or
broad surround environment. By adjusting the relative position of
the speakers, we are able to alter the soundfield to be more spread out
(deeper) or focused (shallower).
3-5. LFE Level Setup
This sub-menu is for setting the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) levels
included in Dolby Digital and DTS software.
Parameter Setting
Initial value
a Dolby Digital – ∞, –10 dB to 0 dB 0 dB
b DTS – ∞, –10 dB to 0 dB 0 dB
a. Dolby Digital
The level can be adjusted to either –
∞ or between –10 to 0 decibels in
1-decibel increments. For Dolby Digital input source signals, the
LFE level becomes that set here. A setting of 0 decibels is
recommended for optimum performance; however, if the low
frequency range is too strong, lower this setting as necessary.
b. DTS
The level can be adjusted to either –
∞ or between –10 to 0 decibels in
1-decibel increments. For DTS input source signals, the LFE level
becomes that set here. A setting of 0 decibels is recommended for
optimum performance; however, if the low frequency range is too
strong, lower this setting as necessary.
