Double Bass
The Double Bass function boosts the bass sound by letting the bass
sound of “Front L/R” speakers output also from the subwoofer. To
enable this function, in the “Speaker Config” menu, set the
“Subwoofer” to “Yes” and “Front L/R” to “Large.”
Note:
Double Bass “Off” is the THX preferred setting for accurate bass
reproduction.
On: Select to turn on the Double Bass function.
Off: Select to turn off the Double Bass function.
Late Night
The audio for movies made for the cinema have a large dynamic
range; thus, the difference between loud noises and soft noises is
great. To hear the quieter sounds such as background noises or
human conversations, the movie must be played back at larger
volumes. When this setting is set to “High” or “Low,” the dynamic
range of the sound is narrowed down to allow you to easily hear
minute sounds at low volumes. This function is especially useful if
you wish to play a movie at low volumes during the nighttime.
This can be set to either “Off” or “Low,” or “High.” When this
setting is set to “High” or “Low,” the dynamic range of the sound is
narrowed down to allow you to easily hear minute sounds at low
volume.
Off: Select to turn off the Late Night function.
Low: Select to narrow down the dynamic range.
High: Select to further narrow down the dynamic range.
Note:
The depth of the Late Night effect is determined by Dolby Digital
software. With some sources, it may produce little or no effect.
LFE Level (DTR-6.4 only)
The level can be adjusted to either –∞ or between –10 and 0
decibels in 1-decibel increments. For Dolby Digital and DTS input
source signals, the LFE level set here is used. A setting of 0 decibels
is recommended for optimum performance; however, if the source
is recorded with the low frequency range too strong, lower this
setting as necessary.
Center Image
DTS Neo:6 derives a center channel from two-channel PCM and
analog sources.
In cinema mode, for Lt/Rt film soundtracks, sounds steered to the
center are subtracted from the left and right channels.
In music mode, the intent in the front channels is less one of
steering and more one of stabilizing the front image by augmenting
it with a center channel, while preserving the original perspective of
the stereo mix. Therefore the derived center is never fully subtracted
from the left and right channels.

Center Image is the factor controlling the amount of subtraction. It
varies between 0 and 5 in steps of 1 and the default value is 3.
When Center Image=5, the factor is zero and nothing is subtracted
from the left and right channels. When Center Image=0, the center
channel is subtracted from the left and right channels at half level
(–6 dB) for each channel. The signal level sent to the center channel
output is not affected by Center Image.
This control should be set based on room layout and personal
preferences. A setting of 5 allows the left and right channels to pass
through unaltered from the stereo mix. A setting of 0 gives more
center channel dominance, which is particularly desirable if
listeners are located well off-center. At any setting, the center
speaker anchors the image.
Pro Logic II Music Panorama (Panorama)
Use this setting to extend the front stereo image to include the
surround speakers for an exciting wraparound effect with side wall
imaging.
On: Select to turn on the PL II Music Panorama mode.
Off: Select to turn off the PL II Music Panorama mode.
Pro Logic II Music Dimension (Dimension)
Use this setting to gradually adjust the soundfield forward or
backward. The setting of “3” is the normal position. Change the
setting to “2” or lower to move the sound space forward setting to
“4” or higher to move the sound space backward.
If the stereo recording has excessive broadness or too strong
surroundness, move the sound space forward to get the appropriate
sound balance. In contrast, if the stereo recording is somewhat felt
like monaural or has narrowness, move the sound space backward
to get more surroundness.
Pro Logic II Music Center Width (Center Width)
In Pro Logic II decoding, center signals are output from the center
speaker. When the center speaker is not used, the decoder will
divide the center signal equally to both the front left and right
speakers to create a “phantom” center sound image.
The Pro Logic II Music Center Width mode allows you to adjust from
where the center sound image is heard. Using this, you can have the
soundfield be heard from the center speaker only, from the front left
and right speakers only (as a phantom center sound image), or from
all three speakers (center, front left and right) in various level
combinations. For home use, applying some width to the center
signal will improve the level balance for the center and main
speakers, and effect the width of the center sound image, or “weight”
of the sound. Many sound recordings processed for stereo playback
will be reproduced better by proper control of this setting. The
recommended setting for Pro Logic II Music mode is “3.” This allows
you to easily distinguish the Pro Logic II Music mode from the Pro
Logic II Movie mode whose setting is automatically set to “0.”
Front Effect
Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation. When you
play these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP,
creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses frame or
presence. In this case, set this setting to “Off” so that no
reverberation from the DSP will be applied to the sound output
from the three front channels. With this setting, the sound source is
played as it is without any further reverberation.
