Listening Mode Setup
Neo:6 Music 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.
Center Image is only enabled when the listening mode is
DTS Neo:6 Music.
Dolby Digital EX (Dolby D)
If you have surround back speakers connected, use this
setting to select whether or not you will use Dolby EX
playback.
Auto: When the source has an EX flag (ID signal for
Surround EX), the playback is automatically changed
to Dolby Digital EX. If the source has no EX flag, the
playback is changed to Dolby Digital.
On: The playback is set to Dolby Digital EX.
Off: The playback is set to normal Dolby Digital.
If your surround channel is monaural or you do not have a
surround channel, then the playback will be normal
Dolby Digital regardless of the above setting.
You can change the Dolby Digital EX mode settings easily
using the remote controller. While playing a Dolby Digital
source, after selecting Dolby D for listening mode, each
press of the SURROUND button on the remote controller
cyclically changes the Dolby Digital EX mode in the order
of “Auto,” “On,” and “Off.”
Dolby EX (Others)
If you have surround back speakers connected, use this
setting to select whether or not you will use Dolby EX
playback for MPEG multi-channel sources.
On: For playback of MPEG multi-channel sources with
Dolby EX effects added.
Off: For normal playback of MPEG multi-channel
sources.
You can change the Dolby EX mode settings easily using
the remote controller. While playing a MPEG
Multichannel source, after selecting Dolby EX for listening
mode, each press of the SURROUND button on the
remote controller cyclically changes the Dolby EX mode
in the order of “On,” or “Off.”
DTS-ES
Selects DTS-ES mode.
Auto: When the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag (ID
signal for DTS-ES), the listening mode is automatically
changed to DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1. If
the DTS source has no DTS-ES flag, the mode is
changed to DTS 5.1.
On: When the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag, the
listening mode is automatically changed to DTS-ES
Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1. If the DTS source has
no DTS-ES flag, the mode is forced to be DTS-ES Matrix
6.1.
Off: Even when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag, the
DTS-ES listening modes are not used. The DTS sources
are always played in DTS 5.1 mode.
You can change the DTS-ES mode settings easily using
the remote controller. While playing a DTS source, after
selecting DTS for listening mode, each press of the
SURROUND button on the remote controller cyclically
changes the DTS-ES mode in the order of “Auto,” “On,”
and “Off.”
THX Surround EX
Selects THX Surround EX mode when the input signal is
Dolby Digital.
Auto: When the Dolby Digital source has the EX flag (ID
signal for Surround EX), the listening mode is automatically
changed to THX Surround EX mode. When the Dolby
Digital source has no flag, the mode for the THX Mode
setting below is used. Also, if a DTS source with a DTS-ES
flag (ID signal for DTS-ES) is being played, THX Cinema
effects for that DTS-ES playback format will be added.
Manual: Even when the source has the EX flag, the
mode for the THX Mode setting below is used.
THX Mode
Selects THX mode.
Ultra2 Cinema: Playback is set to THX Ultra2 Cinema.
MusicMode: Playback is set to THX MusicMode.
Surround EX or DTS-ES Mtrx6.1+THX: Playback is set to
THX Surround EX. For DTS sources, the playback is DTS-
ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 according to the EX
flag.
Cinema: Playback is set to THX Cinema.
These settings can be changed easily using the remote
controller (unless THX Surround EX setting is Auto and the
playback source has an EX or ES flag). With THX mode set
for the listening mode, press the THX button on the remote
controller to cycle the mode from Ultra2 Cinema
→
MusicMode → Surround EX (for DTS sources: DTS-ES Mtrx
6.1+THX) → Cinema → and back.
Decoder (Analog/PCM)
Select the decoding mode before the THX processing.
PL Movie: Decodes Dolby Pro Logic Movie.
DTS Neo:6 Cinema: Decodes DTS Neo:6 Cinema.
