About Home Theater Enjoying Home Theater Thanks to the AV controller’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. With DVDs you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital. With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.
Connecting the AV controller Connecting Your Speakers The AV controller is designed to be used with a separate multichannel power amplifier.
