6.1 – One of Anthem’s proprietary surround modes, specifically designed to expand the stereo soundstage of stereo music in a very natural way without any loss of soundstage integrity or image focus. The Center channel is not used.
7.1 – Another proprietary mode from Anthem, designed to provide the impact of a large theater experience from 2-channel movies and TV programs.
7.1 – Created for use with stereo music material. The following three parameters can be adjusted by pressing the MODE button one, two, or three times while in Pro Logic IIx Music, and rotating the Master Control Knob:
Center Width is adjustable from 0 to 7 – ‘0’ places all Center sound in the Center speaker, while ‘7’ places it equally in the Left and Right channels.
Dimension helps achieve the desired front-to-back balance by providing seven steps of adjustment between the Surround and Center channels.
Panorama is effective for recordings with strong left or right channel elements. When ‘On’, it extends the front stereo image to include the Surround channels.
7.1 – Dolby Surround decoder for 2-channel movies and TV programs.
7.1 – A matrix decoder that does not steer the image from one speaker to another. 7.1 – Bass from surround effects in video games is optimized for visceral impact. 4.1 – In case there’s a desire to hear it “as it used to be” (Surrounds are mono).
6.1 – Can be used with stereo music material to create 6.1 output channels. The center image can be adjusted by pressing MODE while in Neo:6 Music, and rotating the Master Control Knob:
Center Image is adjustable from 0 to 5 – increasing the number gives more center channel prominence.
6.1 – A matrix decoder that can be used with any matrix-encoded movie. Separation is created by allowing various sounds to be placed at different points in the sound field simultaneously.
7.1 – The Left and Right channels are also sent to the Surround and Rear channels, while the Center channel and Subwoofer receive a combination of both. Some processing is used to retain image clarity. Useful for playing music at parties so that it can be heard with equal loudness in all parts of the room.
7.1 – Combines the Left and Right channels and sends the signal to all speakers. 1.1 – Combines the Left and Right channels and sends them to the Center speaker.
1.1 – Gives a presentation closer to the original on movies made from the 1930s to the 1960s, which relied on high-frequency rolloff for sound balance and to mask inherent hiss. Use with old mono movies that sound overly noisy. Can also be useful with DVDs of some TV shows if high-pitched noise leakage from a CRT (cathode ray tube) monitor is audible in the recording.
No surround mode is applied.
