Center

For systems that have a center speaker, the center channel signal
can be output from the center speaker. For instance, in systems
where the front left and right speakers are small, use of the center
speaker may provide a better sound space. (If your system uses a
center speaker, be sure to perform the level calibration with the left
and right speakers in the Speaker Setup menu beforehand.)

On: The center channel signal is output to the center speaker.

Off: The center channel signal is output from the front left and
right speakers (Phantom Center).

Front Expander

The front expander function spreads out the sound from the front
speakers for the feeling of a wide sound space.

On: Select to turn on the front expander function to simulate a
wider sound space.

Off: Select to turn off the front expander function for a normal
sound space.

Virtual Surr Level

This parameter adjusts the virtual surround level. This can be set
from -3 to +3 decibels.

Dialog Enhance

This parameter allows you to adjust the dialog sound level from
the center speaker if it is difficult to hear.

On: Enhances the vocal ranges for the center channel signal.

Off: Outputs the center channel signal at the regular level and
frequency characteristics.
