Adjusting the Listening Modes

—Continued

The Audio Adjust functions are explained below.

Input Channel Settings

Multiplex

This setting determines which channel is output from a
stereo multiplex source. Use it to select audio channels
or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV
broadcasts, and so on.

Main:

The main channel is output (default).

Sub:

The sub channel is output.

M/S:

Both the main and sub channels are output.

Mono (2ch)

This setting determines which channel is output when
the Mono listening mode is used with a stereo source.

L+R:

Both the left and right channels are output
(default).

L:

Only the left channel is output.

R:

Only the right channel is output.

PL II & PL IIx Music Mode Settings

These settings apply to only 2-channel (stereo) sources.

Panorama

With this function, 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 setting is 3.
Higher settings move the sound field forward. Lower set-
tings move it backward.

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 function, 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 controls 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
is 3).

DTS Neo:6 Music Mode Setting

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
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.

Dolby Digital EX Input Signal Setting

Dolby D EX

This setting determines how Dolby Digital EX signals
are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround
back speaker is connected or speaker B is on.

Auto:

If the source signal contains a Dolby Digital
EX flag, the Dolby Digital EX listening mode
is used (default).

Manual:

You can select Pro Logic IIx Music, Dolby
Digital, or Dolby Digital EX.
