Setting the center mode
In PRO LOGIC or C.STUDIO surround mode, you can
choose from four different center modes: NORMAL,
WIDE, 3 STEREO, or PHANTOM. For normal use,
select NORMAL or WIDE mode. When you use the

mode.

Adjusting the delay time
Adjusting the delay time can enhance the spatial
characteristics of the sound to obtain a theater-like
presence regardless of the size of your room. If the
rear speakers are close to your listening position,
choose a longer delay time.

LOGIC, C.STUDIO, HALL, STADIUM, and GAME.
