The listening modes can be personalised by adjusting the Upmix, Virtualize, LFE (Low Frequency Effects
Tuning), and Content Processing.
UPMIX - Creates a signal for the centre when the input is 2.0 stereo. In cases where the input signal has 3.0
or more channels, turning the UPMIX on and off will have no effect.
VIRTUALIZE - Creates the effect of having extra loudspeakers positioned in the surround and height
locations. Note that this effect is less noticeable when you are not sitting directly in front of the Beovision
Contour.
LFE TUNING - Turns the LFE channel in the incoming signal on and off. Note that there are many audio
signals or instances where this control will have little or no audible effect, since it is dependent on the mix of
the audio signal itself.
CONTENT PROCESSING - Controls the dynamics of the signal. Set to HIGH for night listening, where you want
to reduce the difference in level between the quiet and loudest passages. Note that this means that quieter
sounds will become louder and louder sounds will become quieter regardless of the volume settings.
You can assign a listening mode to each source under the Product Settings menu.
