¢Surround parameters t

DTS NEO:6 Mode:
•Cinema:
This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is
performed with emphasis on separation performance to
achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as
with 6.1-channel sources.
This mode is effective for playing sources recorded in
conventional surround formats as well, because the in-phase
component is assigned mainly to the center channel (C) and
the reversed phase component to the surround (SL, SR and
SB channels).
•Music:
This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front
channel (FL and FR) signals bypass the decoder and are
played directly so there is no loss of sound quality, and the
effect of the surround signals output from the center (C) and
surround (SL, SR and SB) channels add a natural sense of
expansion to the sound field.
CENTER IMAGE (0.0 to 1.0: default 0.3):
The center image parameter for adjusting the expansion of
the center channel in the DTS NEO:6 MUSIC mode has been
added.
