■PLIIz Height Gain

The Height Gain Control in Dolby Pro Logic IIz enables the listener to select how much gain is applied to the front high speakers. There are three settings, “Low”, “Mid” and “High”, and the front high speakers are accentuated in that order. While “Mid” is the default listening setting, the listener may adjust the Height Gain Control to their personal preference.

`Low:

Low PLIIz Height Gain becomes active.

Medium PLIIz Height Gain becomes active.

`High:

High PLIIz Height Gain becomes active.

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.
