Normally, if you're using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output from only the center speaker.

This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound. DTS Setting Neo:6 Music Center Image 0 to 2 to 5 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. Sound is spread in left and right (the outside) so that the set value is made big. Please adjust by liking.
