Listening Mode Preset Sub-Menu; Intellivolume Sub-Menu - Onkyo TX-DS696 Instruction Manual

Setup menus

2-3. Listening Mode Preset sub-menu

With the TX-DS696, you can set a different listening mode for each
different signal type that comes from each input source and also set
the parameters for the listening mode itself. For example, if your
DVD player also plays compact discs and the DVD video signal is
DTS and the compact disc signal is PCM, then you can set a different
listening mode for each.
This is especially convenient if you frequently play the same types of
movies or music.
Input source signals
a. Analog/PCM Source
Set a listening mode for the input signal from analog sources and
PCM sources.
Note:
For PCM sources recorded at a sampling rate of 96 kHz or greater,
only the Stereo or Direct listening modes can be selected. However,
the set listening mode is stored in memory.
b. Digital Format
Set a listening mode for the input signal from Dolby Digital and DTS
sources.
• The TX-DS696 will automatically switch to the listening mode
set for the current input signal. For example, even when using
the same DVD player, if a CD is played, the listening mode
automatically becomes "Stereo," and if a DVD is played (Dolby
Digital 3/2.1), the listening mode automatically becomes Dolby
D.

2-4. IntelliVolume sub-menu

a. IntelliVolume
When switching input sources, you may find that the output level for
different components or input sources connected to the TX-DS696 is
different even though the main volume setting is the same. Under
normal circumstances, you would then have to change the volume
setting each time you change the input source. This IntelliVolume
sub-menu allows you to preset a volume level for each input source
separately so that when you do switch from one input source to
another, the TX-DS696 adjusts the volume accordingly so that the
resulting volume stays the same. To set the IntelliVolume, simply
select an input source at the front panel, and if that source is quieter
than other sources, increase its decibel level with the
button, or if it is louder than other sources, decrease its decibel level
with the cursor button.
The IntelliVolume can be adjusted between –12 and +12 decibels.
