■ Dimension
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward 
or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music 
listening mode. It can be adjusted from –3 to +3. The 
default value is 0. Lower settings move the sound field 
forward. Higher settings move it backward.

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.

■ Center Width
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound 
from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic 
IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re using a 
center speaker, the center channel sound is output by 
only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center 
speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to 
the front left and right speakers to create a phantom cen-
ter). This setting controls the front left, right, and center 
mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center 
channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7. The default 
value is 3.

■ Center Image
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. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5. The 
default value is 2. 

When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is 
attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the 
sound is located centrally. This setting works well when 
the listening position is considerably off center. When 
set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu-
ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.

■ Dolby EX
This setting determines how Dolby EX signals are han-
dled. 

Auto: When the source is Dolby EX, you can select 

the Dolby EX or THX Surround EX listening 
mode (default).

Manual: When the source is Dolby EX, you can select 

any of the listening modes compatible with this 
format (e.g., Dolby EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, 
etc.).

■ Listening Angle
With this setting, you can optimize the Theater-Dimen-
sional 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 equi-
distant from the listening position and at an angle close 
to one of the two available settings.

Wide:  Select if the angle is greater than 30 degrees 

(default).

Narrow: Select if the angle is less than 30 degrees.

With these settings, you can set the level of the LFE 
(Low Frequency Effects) channel individually for Dolby 
Digital, DTS, and multichannel PCM sources. The level 
can be set to –

∞

, –20 dB, –10 dB, or 0 dB (default).

If you find that low-frequency effects are too loud when 
using one of these sources, change the setting to –20 dB 
or –

∞

dB.

■ Dolby Digital
Sets the level of the LFE channel for Dolby Digital and 
Dolby Digital Plus sources.

■ DTS
Sets the level of the LFE channel for DTS and DTS-HD 
High Resolution sources.

■ Multich PCM
Sets the level of the LFE channel for multichannel PCM 
sources. (Multichannel PCM is input via HDMI.)

■ Dolby TrueHD
Sets the level of the LFE channel for Dolby TrueHD 
sources.

■ DTS-HD Master Audio
Sets the level of the LFE channel for DTS-HD Master 
Audio sources.

■ DSD
Sets the level of the LFE channel for DSD sources.
