Center Focus
Many of the home theater units have a "center focus" option that provides options for the dialogue reproduction, as well as the overall content mapped to the center and front channels. Common setting include modes that map dialogue strictly to the center channel (to the best ability of the decoder), modes that emphasize vocals for clear dialogue—and modes that mix the center and front channels, mapping some vocals to the front channels, and some non-vocal audio content to the center channel. The center focus option, given the proper speaker arrangement, is designed to make the dialogue seem as if it is coming from inside the television, giving the effect that the actors are in the room speaking.
