Serge.

That was how I thought it worked as well and the difference is only the Default LFE attenuation set in the preset. I always thought Cinema and Discrete were the same one for Music and for Movie Layouts. But they could both be adding 10dB behind the scenes but one preset defaults to taking that 10dB back off.

I'm curious how your testing as well.

If you're using like Video Essentials BD disc it *IS* 10dB low (if I recall correctly). Make sure know 100% what your supposed to measure with your test source.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
