Dimension ­3 to 0 to +3 With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. If the stereo image feels too wide, or there's too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it's in mono, or there's not enough surround sound, move it backward. 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. Changing the value from "0" to "5" will spread the sound of the center channel to left and right (outwards). En 43 Theater-Dimensional Listening Angle Wide: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees. With this setting, you can optimize the TheaterDimensional 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 equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings. Front left speaker Front right speaker 20°/40° Dynamic EQ Off On: Audyssey Dynamic EQ® becomes active. With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels. Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume level -- not just at reference level.

Reference Level Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset 0 dB: It should be used when listening to movies. 5 dB: Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range, such as classical music. 10 dB: Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a wider dynamic range. This setting should also be selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at 10 dB below film reference. 15 dB: Select this setting for pop/rock music or other program material that is mixed at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamic range. To achieve the same reference level in a home theater system each speaker level must be adjusted so that ­30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening position.
