I have a Onkyo 503 amp. Is there a good mode to listen in? I'm missing something. Is there a one mode fits all?

I love "Stadium effect" best with all that echoing. Especially during a movie......I'llllll be be be back back back! Arnold at his best.

Sorry, no their is not a fit all mode. Listen to each mode for longer then a few seconds before changing to the next.

In the user manual which comes with the Onkyo receivers it says Direct mode outputs the sound as it is with minimal processing. The bass and treble functions are bypassed. Neo 6 creates 6.1 surround from stereo sources. If you go here http://www.us.onkyo.com/download/own...m?cat=Receiver
you can find the manual for your receiver and check out all the various settings and effects.
