Listening Mode Setup

Neo:6 Music Center Image

DTS Neo:6 derives a center channel from two-channel PCM and analog sources.

In cinema mode, for Lt/Rt film soundtracks, sounds steered to the center are subtracted from the left and right channels.

In music mode, the intent in the front channels is less one of steering and more one of stabilizing the front image by augmenting it with a center channel, while preserving the original perspective of the stereo mix. Therefore the derived center is never fully subtracted from the left and right channels.

Center Image is the factor controlling the amount of subtraction. It varies between 0 and 5 in steps of 1 and the default value is 3.

When Center Image=5, the factor is zero and nothing is subtracted from the left and right channels. When Center Image=0, the center channel is subtracted from the left and right channels at half level (–6 dB) for each channel. The signal level sent to the center channel output is not affected by Center Image.

This control should be set based on room layout and personal preferences. A setting of 5 allows the left and right channels to pass through unaltered from the stereo mix. A setting of 0 gives more center channel dominance, which is particularly desirable if listeners are located well off-center. At any setting, the center speaker anchors the image.

Center Image is only enabled when the listening mode is DTS Neo:6 Music.

Dolby Digital EX (Dolby D)

If you have surround back speakers connected, use this setting to select whether or not you will use Dolby EX playback.

Auto: When the source has an EX flag (ID signal for Surround EX), the playback is automatically changed to Dolby Digital EX. If the source has no EX flag, the playback is changed to Dolby Digital.

On: The playback is set to Dolby Digital EX.

Off: The playback is set to normal Dolby Digital.

If your surround channel is monaural or you do not have a surround channel, then the playback will be normal Dolby Digital regardless of the above setting.

You can change the Dolby Digital EX mode settings easily using the remote controller. While playing a Dolby Digital source, after selecting Dolby D for listening mode, each press of the SURROUND button on the remote controller cyclically changes the Dolby Digital EX mode in the order of “Auto,” “On,” and “Off.”

Dolby EX (Others)

If you have surround back speakers connected, use this setting to select whether or not you will use Dolby EX playback for MPEG multi-channel sources.

On: For playback of MPEG multi-channel sources with Dolby EX effects added.

Off: For normal playback of MPEG multi-channel sources.

You can change the Dolby EX mode settings easily using the remote controller. While playing a MPEG Multichannel source, after selecting Dolby EX for listening mode, each press of the SURROUND button on the remote controller cyclically changes the Dolby EX mode in the order of “On,” or “Off.”

DTS-ES

Selects DTS-ES mode.

Auto: When the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag (ID signal for DTS-ES), the listening mode is automatically changed to DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1. If the DTS source has no DTS-ES flag, the mode is changed to DTS 5.1.

On: When the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag, the listening mode is automatically changed to DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1. If the DTS source has no DTS-ES flag, the mode is forced to be DTS-ES Matrix 6.1.

Off: Even when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag, the DTS-ES listening modes are not used. The DTS sources are always played in DTS 5.1 mode.

You can change the DTS-ES mode settings easily using the remote controller. While playing a DTS source, after selecting DTS for listening mode, each press of the SURROUND button on the remote controller cyclically changes the DTS-ES mode in the order of “Auto,” “On,” and “Off.”

THX Surround EX

Selects THX Surround EX mode when the input signal is Dolby Digital.

Auto: When the Dolby Digital source has the EX flag (ID signal for Surround EX), the listening mode is automatically changed to THX Surround EX mode. When the Dolby Digital source has no flag, the mode for the THX Mode setting below is used. Also, if a DTS source with a DTS-ES flag (ID signal for DTS-ES) is being played, THX Cinema effects for that DTS-ES playback format will be added. Manual: Even when the source has the EX flag, the mode for the THX Mode setting below is used.

THX Mode

Selects THX mode.

Ultra2 Cinema: Playback is set to THX Ultra2 Cinema.

MusicMode: Playback is set to THX MusicMode.

Surround EX or DTS-ES Mtrx6.1+THX: Playback is set to THX Surround EX. For DTS sources, the playback is DTS- ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 according to the EX flag.

Cinema: Playback is set to THX Cinema.

These settings can be changed easily using the remote controller (unless THX Surround EX setting is Auto and the playback source has an EX or ES flag). With THX mode set for the listening mode, press the THX button on the remote controller to cycle the mode from Ultra2 Cinema → MusicMode → Surround EX (for DTS sources: DTS-ES Mtrx 6.1+THX) → Cinema → and back.
