Listening Mode Setup
Center
For systems that have a center speaker, the center channel signal
can be output from the center speaker. For instance, in systems
where the front left and right speakers are small, use of the center
speaker may provide a better sound space. (If your system uses a
center speaker, be sure to perform the level calibration with the left
and right speakers in the Speaker Setup menu beforehand.)
On:
The center channel signal is output to the center speaker.
Off:
The center channel signal is output from the front left and
right speakers (Phantom Center).

Listening angle

closest to your actual listening angle.

The front expander function spreads out the sound from the front
speakers for the feeling of a wide sound space.
On:
Select to turn on the front expander function to simulate a
wider sound space.
Off:
Select to turn off the front expander function for a normal
sound space.
