In this case, press the button and hold it in until the indicator of the selected USER MODE button lights. 4 Press the CURSOR F or G button to select the play mode. DTS NEO:6 Mode: • Cinema: This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with 6.1-channel sources. This mode is effective for playing sources recorded in conventional surround formats as well, because the in-phase component is assigned mainly to the center channel (C) and the reversed phase component to the surround (SL, SR and SB channels). • Music: This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front channel (FL and FR) signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals output from the center (C) and surround (SL, SR and SB) channels add a natural sense of expansion to the sound field. 2 Calling the settings out Press the USER MODE button at which the settings you want to call out are stored. • The indicator for the selected USER MODE button lights. In this case, press the button and hold it in until the indicator of the selected USER MODE button lights. CENTER IMAGE (0.0 to 1.0: default 0.3): The center image parameter for adjusting the expansion of the center channel in the DTS NEO:6 MUSIC mode has been added. 38
