NIVERSAL
Bringing an Unexpected Edge and Versatile Dimension to Home Style Components
For a relatively diminutive A/V receiver system, the L - UN7 really does cover all the bases. The ability to handle breakthrough audio formats,
DVD - Audio and Super Audio CD, as well as regular CDs, digital MP3 and WMA files, is impressive enough. But the L - UN7 will also enable
you to playback progressive scan DVD sources with a virtual surround sound - field, and it also takes DTS
the full 5.1 - channel realm with connection to a power ( main ) amplifier and speakers. Onkyo has incorporated its core technologies—VLSC
( Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry ) , WRAT ( Wide Range Amplifier Technology ) and Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry—to give you the cleanest,
most accurate signals possible. With space-saving qualities and versatility, the L - UN7 will neatly integrate into virtually any space of your
choice and give you greater entertainment options.
Super Audio CD and DVD - Audio on Top of MP3s, WMA and Regular CDs
With the capability to accommodate today's leading audio formats, DVD - Audio
and Super Audio CD, the L - UN7 brings you a sound quality previously unfound
in compact systems. DVD - Audio offers 5.1 channels ( up to 96 kHz/24 - bit ) or
2 channels ( 192 kHz/24 - bit ) , while Super Audio CD has a 100 kHz frequency
response and a 2.822 MHz sampling rate ( 64 times greater than a regular CD ) .
As DVD - Audio also carries the DTS and Dolby Digital formats, you also have the
option of enjoying their respective audio formats with the L - UN7's onboard
codecs. And if you don't have the L - UN7 connected to another power amplifier
for multichannel music, the L - UN7 will downmix the multichannel recording into
stereo for playback. Also, take any of your MP3 or WMA files copied to CD - R or
CD - RW for playback through the L - UN7's scintillating audio fidelity.
Progressive Scan DVD Playback with Surround Sound Effects
With component video outputs on the rear, the L - UN7 is ready to send progressive
scan video signals to compatible displays. To appreciate DTS Surround, Dolby
Digital and Dolby Digital Pro Logic II decoding, you can set-up a full 5.1 - channel
surround system ( with an external power amplifier as well as center/surround
speakers and a subwoofer ) . If you want to keep it simple, Onkyo's Theater
Dimensional virtual surround sound-field will work with your existing two
speakers ( as well as a subwoofer via the pre out ) .
WRAT ( Wide Range Amplifier Technology )
Originally developed for our high-end A/V receivers, WRAT is a collection of
Onkyo's proprietary technologies that achieves three fundamental goals in
the pursuit of superior audio:
1 ) Wider frequency response;
2 ) Reduced amplifier distortion at high volume;
3 ) Better control of current and electro/mechanical kick-back from speakers.
By incorporating WRAT into the L - UN7 ensures that you'll get audio playback
quality from your movies and music that just isn't possible from poorly conceived
audio components.

VLSC ( Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry ) for Front Channels
The L - UN7 incorporates Onkyo's VLSC, which employs a unique digital-to-analog
conversion circuit to mitigate the effect of signal noise. As noise is further
magnified by the DAC and surrounding circuitry, it is necessary to effectively
remove noise that can adversely affect the signal. VLSC compares the signal
between two sampling points, and then joins the points with analog vectors in
real-time to create a smooth output wave. Through this circuitry, we can realize
a pulse-noise-free signal based on the digital source.
iPod Playback through Onkyo's RI ( Remote Interactive ) System Capability
With Onkyo's RI system capabilities, you can add other Onkyo components to
the L - UN7 and operate them through one single remote control. RI capability
also gives you the opportunity to integrate the iPod with your CD receiver system
through Onkyo's RI Dock for the iPod ( DS - A1 ) . Simply connect the dock to
the L - UN7, place your iPod in the dock and relish the fuller sound that just
can't be experienced through headphones. RI capability also gives you remote
operability over your iPod for hands-off control over your digital music. The DS - A1
is compatible with most iPod models, and will also accommodate the latest
iPod releases.
2 - Way, Bass Reflex Speakers Incorporating Onkyo's Own
Speaker Developments
Designed to neatly complement the CD receiver in any room of the home,
the L - UN7's 2 - way, bass reflex speakers are designed to playback music with
no interference and maximum efficiency. The Advanced Onkyo Microfiber
( A - OMF ) diaphragm woofer is made from a three-layer construction that absorbs
vibrations that can adversely affect the quality of the emitted sound. This thin
yet rigid diaphragm enables an extremely fast and accurate response—essential
for the reproduction of quality audio. Also, a V - Line Edge on the suspension
suppresses any extraneous vibrations that can cause the sound to deteriorate
significantly. Capping it off, an Aero Acoustic Drive ( slit duct ) has been included
to reproduce a sound that is both responsive and spacious it its delivery.
