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).

–3dB to Reference to +3dB

With this setting, you can adjust the sound stage when 
using Audyssey DSX.

• This listening mode can be selected only when all the following 

conditions are satisfied: 
– The center speaker is connected.
– The front high speakers are connected.

■

`

Wide:

Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees.

`

Narrow:

Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.

With this setting, you can optimize the Theater-
Dimensional 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.

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.

• These technologies cannot be used when:

– a pair of headphones is connected, or
– either Pure Audio (European, Australian and Asian models) 

or Direct listening mode is selected.
