What it does
Allows you to hear effective surround sound of movies at
low volumes.
Used to get good bass and treble from music sources at
low volumes.
Depending on what you are listening to, you may want to
adjust the bass or treble.
Spreads the center channel between the front right and left
speakers, making it sound wider (higher settings) or
narrower (lower settings).
Adjusts the surround sound balance from front to back,
making the sound more distant (minus settings), or more
forward (positive settings).
Extends the front stereo image to include surround
speakers for a 'wraparound' effect.
Sets the effect level for the currently selected Advanced
Surround mode (each mode can be set separately).
