Default Center front speaker on 2002 GS300 with ML sound

I have a 2002 GS300 with the Mark Levinson sound system. I notice that there's a speaker in the center of the dash, but it doesn't seem to do very much. What does it do in the ML system?

Center channel just like with a home audio system. Just fills in the sound some more.

In a home theater system there's a processor in the receiver that sends the dialog to the center speaker and the sound effects and music to the front and rear speakers.

I don't think the ML system does that.
