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).
Audyssey DSX

Theater-Dimensional
Listening Angle
Wide
:
Select if the listening angle is greater than 30 degrees.
Narrow
:
Select if the listening angle is less than 30 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.
Note
For best results, we recommend setting “
Narrow
” to 20° and
Wide
” to 40°.
