Neo:6 Music (MUSIC)

This mode gives 6.1 channel surround sound and is suitable for music. The Neo:6 Music mode plays the stereo source as is through the front left/right speakers, and generates a natural, ambient surround and center sound.

Advanced Surround modes

These are designed to be used with multi- channel surround sound audio/visual sources (like DVDs and LDs). Most Advanced Surround modes are designed to be used with film soundtracks, but some modes are also suited for music sources. Try different settings with various soundtracks to see which you like.

Sports (SPORTS)

This is designed for sports programs with alot of action, adding to the excitement by bringing background action to the forefront.

Game (GAME)

Useful when playing video games. It works especially well with sound moving from left to right in game software with alot of movement.

Expanded (EXPANDED)

This mode is especially designed to give sound depth to stereo sources, and lets you hear two-channel (stereo) signals as simu- lated multi-channel surround sound. Use with Dolby Pro Logic for a stereo surround effect. You can also use with Dolby Digital sources for a wider stereo field than the STANDARD modes.

Depending on the source and the sound mode you have selected, you may not get sound from the surround back speakers in your setup. For more on this, refer to Using the Virtual Surround Back mode (VSB) on page 41 and Using the Surround Back Channel (SB CH) on page 40.

Advanced Movie (ADV. MOVIE)

Simulates the relaxed environment of a movie theater, and is suitable for watching movies.

Advanced Music (ADV. MUSIC)

Simulates the acoustic environment of a large concert hall and is suitable for music or musical sources.

6-Channel Stereo (6-STEREO)

This can be selected to give multi-channel sound to a stereo source, using all of the speakers in your setup.

Phones Surround (PHONES SURROUND)

When listening through headphones, you can still get the effect of overall surround.
