Adjusting the Effect of a Listening Mode
The DSP (Digital Signal Processing) listening modes have sound processing added to accentuate a certain kind
of atmosphere or effect (see the preceding pages for explanation). You can choose if you want to strengthen or
weaken this effect in the given mode. The DSP MOVIE modes are: ACTION, SCI-FI, DRAMA, MUSICAL,
MONOFILM, 5/7-D THEATER. The DSP MUSIC modes are: CLASSICAL, CHAMBER, JAZZ, ROCK, DANCE.
The following instructions show you how to adjust the amount of effect.
Adding/Adjusting the Effect in Dolby Pro
Logic II Music Mode
The Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode has three settings you can
choose from which adjust the spatial feeling of the surround sound.
These settings are best matched to each individual source instead
of one setting being left on for all sources. The three settings and
how to apply them are explained here.

CENTER WIDTH : With Pro Logic decoding center channel
signals can come only from the center speaker. If no center
speaker is present this channel is split between the two front
speakers, creating a "phantom" channel. The CENTER WIDTH
feature lets you adjust the center channel so it can heard only
from the center speaker, only as a "phantom" channel or in
varying degrees of both.
DIMENSION: This allows you to adjust the soundfield
towards the front or towards the rear of your room.
PANORAMA: This gives the music a wraparound surround
feel.
3 Use the +/– buttons to add or subtract
the amount of effect or turn on/off.
CENTER WIDTH : Strengthen or weaken the effect between
0–7. The default is 3.
DIMENSION: Move soundfield backward or forward with -3
being the furthest back and +3 being the furthest forward.
The default is 0.
