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 Digital 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.).
T–D (Theater-Dimensional) Setting
LstnAngl (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.
Narrow:
Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.
Wide:
Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees
(default).
Multichannel Subwoofer Setting
SW InSens
On some DVD players, the signal from the multichannel
subwoofer output is 15 dB higher than normal. You can
change the subwoofer sensitivity to match your DVD
player. Note that this setting only affects signals con-
nected to the SUBWOOFER input jack of the multichan-
nel DVD input.
You can select 0 dB (default), +5 dB, +10 dB, or +15 dB.
If you find that your subwoofer is too loud, try the
+10 dB or +15 dB setting.
You can change various audio settings by pressing the
[AUDIO] button.
The Audio Adjust settings are explained below.
