LISTENING MODE PRESETS
A listening mode is processing that enhances source material by increasing the number of
output channels. Each mode performs this its own way, providing its own type of sound.
To find your preference, spend some time listening to various modes using various sources.
To disable presets and make selections entirely on the fly, select “Last Used”. To disable
listening modes altogether, select “None”.
Modes fall in two main categories – those that apply to 2-channel sources and those that
apply to 5.1-channel sources.
FOR 2.0-CHANNEL SOURCES
AnthemLogic-Cinema provides the missing link that lets you experience full impact home
theater sound from any 2-channel source. A large, enveloping and dynamic listening
experience is created making 2-channel movies sound more like what is experienced in a
state-of-the art movie theater. Through extensive listening tests a very effective design was
developed, avoiding the use of echo effects which could negatively affect the purity of the
sound.
AnthemLogic-Music enhances the stereo listening experience without detracting from the
stereo soundstage. This is also a minimalist design that uses no echo or reverberation
effects. To ensure that the purity of the stereo music soundstage is in no compromised
when you’re sitting in the “sweet spot” and listening to your favorite stereo recordings, the
center channel is not used.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie is the decoder created for 2-channel movies and TV programs
encoded in Dolby Surround.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music can be used with stereo music to make it more compelling. When
engaged during playback, these adjustments are accessible by pressing the Mode button:
- Center Width is adjustable from 0 to 7. Setting this to 0 places all center sound in the
center speaker while 7 places it equally in the left and right channels. The default is 3.
- Dimension has seven steps of balance adjustment between the surround and center
channels.
- Panorama when “On” extends the front stereo image to include the surround
channels. This is effective for recordings that have strong left or right channel
elements.
DTS Neo:6 Cinema is a matrix decoder that can be used with any matrix-encoded movie.
Separation is created by allowing sounds to be placed at different points in the sound field.
DTS Neo:6 Music is a matrix decoder for stereo music.
All Channels sends the left and right channels to the surround and rear channels with equal
loudness while the center channel and subwoofer receive a combination of both.
