Decoding isperformed with emphasis on separation performance toachieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with6.1-channel sources.This mode is effective for playing sources recorded inconventional surround formats as well, because the in-phasecomponent is assigned mainly to the center channel (C) and thereversed phase component to the surround (SL, SR and SBchannels).• Music:This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front channel(FL and FR) signals bypass the decoder and are played directlyso there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of thesurround signals output from the center (C) and surround (SL,SR and SB) channels add a natural sense of expansion to thesound field.CENTER IMAGE (0.0 to 1.0: default 0.3):The center image parameter for adjusting the expansion of thecenter channel in the DTS NEO:6 MUSIC mode has beenadded.ENGLISHENGLISH
