I think my favorite overall setting for music is the "Roxy Theater" but with the room size reduced and the reflections shortened in time and space for better intelligability. As the names of the settings imply, Yamaha actually went to the various venues and measured the reflections at various venues thoughout the world including some of the finest concert halls, jazz clubs, churches, theaters, stadiums, etc.
While the various theater settings on the Yamaha use the center channel, the various music programs do not. But any program can be used for any source and you can certainly listen to music in a theater setting tweeked to your heart's content if you want center channel for your music. One theater setting is actually "Music Video."
Also, on the Yamahas with the two front surrounds enabled, Yamaha doesn't put "processed " sound through the front left and right speakers, so these stay very clean and uncolored as opposed to most other manufacturers who do it in other ways. All of the front effects would emanate from the front surrounds that can also simulate early front of the room reflections.
