anced toward the front of the listening space. When set to NEU-
TRAL, the sound field is balanced at the center of the listening
space. When set to REAR, the sound field is balanced toward the

ES DECODING AUTO, ON, OFF
Controls the DTS-ES decoding feature, which can be used to
extract a rear channel from DTS sources.
• When set to ON, DTS-ES decoding is engaged for all DTS(-ES)
sources.
• When set to OFF, DTS-ES decoding is not engaged for all DTS
(-ES) sources.
• When set to AUTO, DTS-ES decoding is engaged when a
5.1-channel matrix-encoded or 6.1-channel discrete-encoded
DTS-ES source is detected. DTS-ES decoding is not engaged
when a 5.1-channel DTS source is detected.
DTS-ES listening modes are available when DTS-ES decoding is
engaged. DTS listening modes are available when DTS-ES decod-
ing is not engaged. DTS-ES decoding cannot be engaged unless
both side and rear speakers are present. See “SPEAKER SETUP” on
page 3-24 for additional information.
CUSTOM VS PRESET
Allows comparison listening to the custom and factory-default
versions of the selected listening mode. When PRESET is selected,
the listening mode is heard in its factory-default condition – as if
all parameters had been restored to their factory-default settings.
No parameter settings are affected when this option is selected.
The
listening mode will revert to its modified condition when the
CUSTOM VS PRESET option is closed.
When CUSTOM is selected, the listening mode is heard in its
custom condition – with all of its current parameter settings. The
CUSTOM option is available even when no parameter settings
have been adjusted. However, the PRESET and CUSTOM options
will sound identical until adjustments are made.
To toggle between the factory-default and modified versions
of the selected listening mode:
1. Follow the CUSTOM VS PRESET menu path to open the
CUSTOM VS PRESET drop-down menu.
2. When the CUSTOM VS PRESET drop-down menu opens,
press the Menu  and  arrows to toggle between the PRE-
SET
(factory-default) and CUSTOM (customized) versions of the
selected listening mode.
3. When finished, press the Menu  arrow to close the CUS-
TOM VS PRESET menu.
4. Press the Menu  arrow to close the CUSTOM menu and
return to the listening mode menu.
