Adjusting the Listening Modes —Continued
Tone Control Settings
You can adjust the bass and treble for the front speakers.
The tone control circuits are bypassed in the Direct and
Pure Audio listening modes.
■ Bass
You can boost or cut low-frequency sounds output by the
front speakers from –10 dB to +10 dB in 1 dB steps.
■ Treble
You can boost or cut high-frequency sounds output by
the front speakers from –10 dB to +10 dB in 1 dB steps.
Setting the Bass and Treble on the AV Receiver:
Note:
The AV receiver’s TONE buttons cannot be used in the
Direct and Pure Audio listening modes.
PL IIx and Neo:6 Settings
PL IIx Music (2 ch only)
These settings only apply to 2-channel (stereo) sources.
■
Panorama
With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front
stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro
Logic IIx Music listening mode.
On: Panorama function on.
Off: Panorama function off (default).
■ Dimension
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward
or backward when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro
Logic IIx Music listening mode. The default value is 3.
Higher settings move the sound field forward. Lower set-
tings move it backward. It can be adjusted from 0 to 6.
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much
surround sound, move the sound field forward to
improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image
feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround
sound, move it backward.
■
Center Width
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound
from the center speaker when using the Pro Logic II
Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally
if you’re using a center speaker, the center channel sound
is output by only the center speaker. (If you’re not using
a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distrib-
uted to the front left and right speakers to create a phan-
tom center). This setting adjusts the front left, right, and
center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the cen-
ter channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default
value is 3).
Neo:6 Music
■
Center Image
The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel
surround sound from 2-channel (stereo) sources. With
this setting, you can specify by how much the front left
and right channel output is attenuated in order to create
the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default
value is 3). This setting is unavailable if no surround
speakers are connected.
When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is
attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the
sound is located centrally. This setting works well when
the listening position is considerably off center. When
set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu-
ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.
1 Press the AV receiver’s [TONE]
button repeatedly to select either
