I know that some people have indicated that they like the 3 adjustable DPLII parameters that are available on the Music mode on Denon and Yamaha receivers.
I have been told that it even sounds better to use the DPLII Music mode and have the adjustments available when watching DPL encoded movies.
I know that when a DPL encoded movie is decoded with DPLII movie mode it will take advantage of the 4 encoded channels (center, right, left, rear) and decode them into what sounds like 5 distinct channels.
Since many like the adjustments available with the DPLII Music mode, I was wondering if the DPLII Music mode also decodes these 4 channels into 5, or it only takes the information from the stereo channels (left & right) like a 2 channel stereo would, and then decodes them to the 5 channels.
I know that the DPLII music mode spreads some of the center channel to the L & R front speakers. And that the DPLII movie modes does not widen that center channel.
I guess what I am getting at is besides this spreading of the center channel, what is the difference between the Music and Movie modes of DPLII. For example would it be possible (on a Yamaha or Denon) to fool around with the 3 adjustments and make the music mode sound exactly like the movie mode.
Thanks for any info.
