Using the Listening Modes

grams, the TX-SR50 I/TX-SR501E can transform your home
listening room into a movie theater or concert hall.

install and configure your speakers correctly. See "Installing
Your Speakers" on page 20 and "Configuring Speaker Set A"
on page 26 for information.
The TX-SR501/TX-SR501 E provides a number of listening
modes for use with various types of source material, includ-
ing Dolby Digital, DTS, Pro Logic II, and Neo:6. In addition,
you can use the special Onkyo DSP programs, Orchestra,

Listening mode availability depends on the format of the cur-
rently selected input signal. For example, the Dolby Digital
listening modes are available only while a Dolby Digital for-
mat signal is being received. Likewise, the DTS listening
modes are available only while a DTS format signal is being
received.
The following table lists all the possible listening modes and
indicates which modes can be selected for each source for-
mat. The "Speakers" column lists the minimum number of
speakers (excluding subwoofer) necessary to use each mode.
The adjacent diagram graphically indicates which speakers
are actually used in that mode. If you use less than the mini-
mum number of speakers, some modes will not be available.
