I guessed it was the movie mode because with movies it appears more dynamic if you boost certain frequencies. With music it is more desireable to have a flatter response.

Flat is actually not very listenable with a subwoofer, it is rather lifeless which is why a house curve is a popular thing, or corner loading.

I could be wrong about which mode has the boost but that would be my guess... try playing music with the movie setting and swith it back and forth on a bass track you know well, if it is more boomy or punchy with the movie setting then you know that's where the boost is. You'll need something that goes down below 40hz probably.
Thanks a bunch. I see what you're gettin at. I'll try the music test tomorrow. To be fair, I did consider ringin' Sony and asking 'em if they could tell me; then I came to my senses and decided it'd be a complete waste of time (and phone cost etc). And info is very scarce about my sub

Anyway, I'll get back to yoa and let ya know the outcome. Cheers again
