In cases where the input signal has 3.0 or more channels, turning the UPMIX on and off will have no effect.VIRTUALIZE – Creates the effect of having extra loudspeakers positioned in the surround and height locations. Note that this effect is less noticeable when you are not sitting directly in front of the BeoSound Stage.LFE TUNING – Turns the LFE channel in the incoming signal on and off. Note that there are many audio signals or instances where this control will have little or no audible effect, since it is dependent on the mix of the audio signal itself.CONTENT PROCESSING – Controls the dynamics of the signal. Set to HIGH for night listening, where you want to reduce the difference in level between the quiet and loudest passages. Note that this means that quieter sounds will become louder and louder sounds will become quieter regardless of the volume settings.You can assign a listening mode to each source under the Product Settings menu.

NICE TO KNOWDOLBY ATMOS
Your Beosound Stage features Dolby Atmos® which delivers the concept of object-based audio and gives the impression of surround and overhead loudspeakers for a more immersive sound experience. So, instead of merely playing back two or more channels directly to the loudspeakers in your configuration, portions of the total sound field are custom “rendered”, ensuring that you get the best possible experience to match the theatrical mix with your loudspeaker system.
Having the ability to re-create overhead sounds is a key element in making Atmos sound so realistic. The surround virtualizer processes the surround and height channels of the incoming multichannel signal to create an enveloping virtual surround effect, compensating for the form factor of the sound bar. In cases where those channels do not exist – 2-channel stereo for example these extra channels are synthesized by the upmixing portion of the processing. This is done using audio processing that simulate how sound arrives at your eardrums from a full surround system.For optimal effect, the sound bar should be mounted at or slightly above a seated listener’s ear level, and the listener should be positioned as centred as possible. The further to the side a listener is seated, the less effectively the surround virtualizer will work. For best results, you should avoid mounting the sound bar in a cabinet or underneath a shelf, as the resulting resonances and reflections will interfere with the sound at the listening positions.
