Dolby TrueHD is Dolby's next-generation lossless technology developed for Blu-ray Disc.
Dolby TrueHD audio is bit-for-bit identical to the highest-resolution studio master.Together
with high-definition video, it offers an unprecedented home theater experience. Now listeners
can enjoy sound as stunning as their high-definition pictures. Dolby Digital Plus is a "lossy"
technology designed to deliver more channels of
compelling surround sound for high-definition video
via cable and direct broadcast satellite (DBS), via disc-
based media, and via online content.
DTS-HD M A ™ & DTS-HD H
ASTER UDIO
DTS-HD Master Audio is capable of delivering audio that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio
master. With DTS-HD Master Audio, you can experience movies and music exactly as the
artist intended: clear, pure, and uncompromised. DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is a "lossy"
technology that allows content creators to
deliver rich, high-definition audio on movies
where disc space may not allow for DTS-HD
Master Audio.

USIC PTIMIZER TO UPPORT
While MP3 or AAC files may sound fine on a portable digital player, the limitations of these
compressed files can be exposed when played back through a home entertainment system.
Onkyo has designed onboard Music Optimizer technology to improve the quality of
compressed audio signals. Compressed music loses a substantial amount of bit information at
higher frequencies, so the Music Optimizer technology works to overcome this limitation and
enhance audio quality.
O G V C
PTIMUM AIN OLUME IRCUITRY
In conventional volume-attenuation methods, the signal comes close to the noise floor at low
volumes and is therefore susceptible to interference. Even if the amount of noise is minimal, it
taints the signal as it is amplified. Onkyo's Optimum Gain Volume Circuitry adjusts the gain so
that less than half the typical amount of attenuation is necessary.The signal never comes close
to the noise floor, thereby eliminating the possibility of the noise contamination that plagues
conventional volume-attenuation designs.

URE UDIO ODE
Pure Audio Mode turns off the A/V receiver's display and keeps video in the digital domain (via
HDMI) to ensure that the audio signal is protected against interference from external circuitry.

The tonal balance of a film soundtrack can be edgy and bright when played back over audio
equipment in your home—this is because film soundtracks are designed to be played back in
large theaters, using commercial equipment. Onkyo has
developed its own solution that restores the correct tonal
balance of a movie soundtrack in the smaller environs of
your home theater.

surround-sound set-ups and lets you experience the excitement of surround sound from as
few as two ordinary speakers. Want more? Theater-Dimensional's
unique multi-speaker modes let you place up to five speakers

More often than not, the components connected to your A/V receiver are set at different
volume levels. With IntelliVolume, you can customize the input volume settings for all of the

inputs connected to the A/V receiver.You can vary the settings from -12dB to +12dB to
achieve even levels when switching from one component to another.

ROSSOVER
Depending on your choice of Onkyo A/V receiver, you can set the subwoofer crossover at
different frequencies. Being able to choose where the subwoofer takes over bass-producing
responsibilities from the front speakers gives you more precise reproduction of movie
soundtracks. It also means you can select from a wider range of speaker packages, and match
speakers with differing crossover frequencies to your home theater system.

NKYO ICRO IBER
OMF (Onkyo Micro Fiber), made from a pure cotton weave to
absorb vibrations, was first developed to create a thick yet rigid
diaphragm that enables an extremely fast, accurate response.
The next stage saw the advent of A-OMF, which incorporates a
PEN (polyethylene naphthalate) layer with a flexible cotton
weave that makes speaker cones even stronger and more
resistant to heat. We then added an aramid layer to create
New A-OMF.The evolution has been taken a step further with
A-OMF Monocoque—essentially sharing the same material
