Dolby Settings
PLIIx Music (2ch Input)
These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources.
If you’re not using any surround back speakers, these set-
tings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, not Dolby Pro Logic
IIx.
■ Panorama
` On:
Panorama function on.
` Off:
Panorama function off.
With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front
stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music
listening mode.
■ Dimension
` –3 to 0 to +3
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward
or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music
listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field
backward. Lower settings move it forward.
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
` 0 to 3 to 7
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound
from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro
Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re
using a center speaker, the center channel sound is out-
put 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
center channel sound.
PLIIz Height Gain
The Height Gain Control in Dolby Pro Logic IIz enables
the listener to select how much gain is applied to the front
high speakers. There are three settings, “Low”, “Mid” and
“High”, and the front high speakers are accentuated in that
order. While “Mid” is the default listening setting, the lis-
tener may adjust the Height Gain Control to their personal
preference.

`
0 to 2 to 5
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.

set value is made big. Please adjust by liking.
