Adjusting the Listening Modes—Continued

■Center Width

With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a phantom cen- ter). This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7. The default value is 3.

Neo:6 Music

■Center Image

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. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5. The default value is 2.

When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the sound is located centrally. This setting works well when the listening position is considerably off center. When set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu- ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.

Dolby EX Settings

■Dolby EX

This setting determines how Dolby EX signals are han- dled.

Auto: When the source is Dolby EX, you can select the Dolby EX listening mode.

Manual: When the source is Dolby EX, you can select any of the listening modes compatible with this format (e.g., Dolby EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, etc.).

Theater-Dimensional Setting

■Listening Angle

With this setting, you can optimize the Theater-Dimen- sional listening mode by specifying the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equi- distant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings.

Front left speaker	Front right speaker
	20˚/40˚

Narrow: Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees. Wide: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees

(default).
