My best guess would be that there is a single band parametric eq setting for the switch. When you flip it to Movie you get a boost in a specific region. When it is set to music it removes that boost...
Hi Darren

Many thanks. Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree with your 'assumption'- you can't be too far out, but the confusiing thing is 'deciding' which mode introduces the artificial boost; movie or music

So, my assumption is the movie setting has an artifical "dynamics" due to the boost. I'd prefer it flat myself unless you happen to have a room null at the frequencies it is boosting.
Again, I'm with you 100% on this. AFAIK, my room isn't null, and I do want it flat; but takin' your assumption one step further, why do ya go for the movie mode introducing the boost and not the music? Personally, I wouldn't know which to plump for, but a brief test I did this afternoon, had the music mode sounding a bit louder/deeper/boomier. Could this be the effect of the 'boost' or the very contrary

Thanks again for the advice Darren,

Best regards,

DC
