Onkyo tx-sr700 listening mode memory? (1 Viewer)

[Jason Garrett]

I really enjoy my Onkyo, but I have a question about the listening mode memory. It is supposed to remember what surround mode you choose for each input source. It seems to work with some of the source/modes, but the problem that I run into is when I switch from say my video 1 set to Dolby Pro Logic II Movie to tuner that I want to be Dolby Pro Logic II Music it doesn't remember. The same is true for the NEO settings. It will remember the non surround dsp modes or the stereo modes. I hope I've made this clear enough.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a good reason that this is happening or is it a flaw? Thanks.

Are you presetting your preferences in the input set-up menu? For each input you need to go to listening mode set-up in the input set-up menu to preselect the preferred listening mode.

Well, I'm looking at what I think you are talking about.

Input Setup: FM

f.Analog/PCM Source
:Surround


Is that what you are talking about? If so it only has a general "Surround" setting. Not specifically Dolby Pro Logic II Music. It will remember the other modes (stereo, all channel stereo, direct....) regardless of input setup setting.

Well thanks for answering. I know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but I like to switch the radio on during commercials and I wondered if there was a way to keep each setting. Mine has to cycle through all the DPL II/NEO 6 modes with one button. I'll just keep it on DPL II music. Seems like they screwed up on the implementation of the mode memory to me.
