Neo:6 Music settings

• Default setting: 3
When listening to 2-channel sources in Neo:6 Music
mode, you can adjust the center image to create a wider
stereo effect with vocals. Note that this is only available
when using a center speaker.
1 With Neo:6 MUSIC mode active, press EFFECT/CH
SEL repeatedly to select C. IMAGE.
2 Use the +/– buttons to adjust the setting.
Adjust the effect from 0 (all center channel sent to front
right and left speakers) to 10 (center channel sent to the
center speaker only).

Listening in stereo

When you select STEREO or DIRECT, you will hear the
source through just the front left and right speakers (and
possibly your subwoofer depending on your speaker
settings). Dolby Digital and DTS multichannel sources
are downmixed to stereo.
• While listening to a source, press STEREO for
stereo playback.
Press repeatedly to switch between:
• STEREO – The audio is heard with your surround
settings (such as channel level) and you can still use
digital processing (such as the Midnight, Loudness,
and Tone control functions).
• DIRECT – Bypass all effects and surround settings so
that the audio remains as close to the source audio
signal as possible.
Note
• If you switch on any signal processing features (for
example, the Midnight listening mode or the tone
controls) when DIRECT is selected, the receiver
automatically switches to STEREO.
