DTS

■Neo:6 Music Center Image

`0 to 2 to 5

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.

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.

Theater-Dimensional

■Listening Angle

`Wide:

Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees.

`Narrow:

Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.

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 equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings.

Audyssey

When Audyssey 2EQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup is complete, the “Equalizer” (➔ 40) will be set to “Audyssey” and the “Dynamic EQ” will be set to “On”.

■Dynamic EQ

`Off:

Audyssey Dynamic EQ® off.

`On:

Audyssey Dynamic EQ on.

The Dynamic EQ indicator will light (➔ 8). With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels. Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deterio- rating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume level — not just at reference level.

Note

•If Direct listening mode is selected, this setting cannot be selected.

■Reference Level

Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset

`0dB:

It should be used when listening to movies.

`5dB:

Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range, such as classical music.

`10dB:

Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a wider dynamic range. This setting should also be selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at 10 dB below film reference.

`15dB:

Select this setting for pop/rock music or other pro- gram material that is mixed at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamic range.
