Decode Mode Off - No up-mixing performed Auto - PCM streams up-mixed using DTS Neo 6 Auto algorithm DTS Neo 6 Music - PCM streams up-mixed using DTS Neo 6 Music algorithm DTS Neo 6 Video - PCM streams up-mixed using DTS Neo 6 Movie algorithm The Decode Mode setting is applicable to audio received by the following sources: HDMI, HDMI ARC, HDMI eARC, SPDIF and Toslink Streaming sources (radio, Qobuz, etc.) and analogue inputs cannot be up-mixed. These will always be presented in stereo. For all modes above downmixing if required will then be performed based on the number of speakers in the system. Dynamic range compression Standard This mode has the widest dynamic range (the difference between the quietest and loudest sounds). Quiet remains quiet, loud remains LOUD (i.e. explosions will "blow your socks off!") Medium This mode has a medium difference dynamic range. Making quiet sounds louder and louder sounds quieter (not as big a difference in sound volume) Maximum This is maximum compression Making quiet sounds louder and louder sounds quieter (not as big a difference in sound volume and "keeps your socks on") Speaker Setup Extended speaker type refers to how rear channels are mixed in a 7.1(+) system This is an option for how the rear centre channels are mixed into other channels. The magnitude of change varies for different streams (PCM/Dolby/DTS and their variants) due to differing algorithms. Different streams on the source material may also have parameters embedded that affect this. Side = default Wide = no rear centres (wide sound) Rear = boosts front and rears, no rear centres Centre = 7.1 becomes 6.1 with one centre rear channel High Front = no centre rears Speaker Distances Enter the distance from your main listening position to each configured speaker. These manual settings are only available and applied with Space Optimisation disabled.
