`0 to 2 to 5

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.
