`0 to 2 to 5

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel surround sound from 2-channel stereo sources. With this setting, you can specify by how much the front left and right channel output is attenuated in order to create the center channel.

Setting a value “0” in the middle is set to hear a sound. Sound is spread in left and right (the outside) so that the set value is made big. Please adjust by liking.

Source Setup

Audyssey

When Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup is complete, the “Equalizer” (47) will be set to “Audyssey” and the “Dynamic EQ” will be set to “On”.

Dynamic EQ

`Off:

Audyssey Dynamic EQ® off.

`On:

Audyssey Dynamic EQ on.

The Dynamic EQ indicator will light (9). With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels. Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deterio- rating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume level — not just at reference level.

Note

If Pure Audio or Direct listening mode is selected, this setting cannot be selected.
