With multichannel sources, if you have connected
surround back speaker(s) and have selected SB CH MODE
ON, you can press STANDARD repeatedly to select:
• 2 Pro Logic IIx MOVIE – See above
• 2 Pro Logic IIx MUSIC – See above
• SX (Studio extension) – Adds surround back channel
sound (taken from the left/right surround output) to
5.1 channel sources
• EX (Extension decode) – Creates surround back
channel sound for 5.1 channel sources and provides
pure decoding for 6.1 channel sources (like Dolby
Digital Surround EX and DTS-ES)
Note
• If the SB CH MODE is switched to OFF, or the
surround back speakers are set to NO, 2 Pro Logic
IIx (above) becomes 2 Pro Logic II (5.1 channel
sound).
• In modes that give 6.1 channel sound, the same
signal is heard from both surround back speakers.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music settings
When listening in Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music mode, there
are three further parameters you can adjust: Center
Width, Dimension, and Panorama.
1 With ‘2 Pro Logic IIx MUSIC’ mode active, press
OPTION repeatedly to select CENTER WIDTH,
DIMENSION or PANORAMA.
The remote control menu for this step is shown below
(see note at the start of this chapter if you need help).
• CENTER WIDTH – Provides a better blend of the front
speakers by spreading the center channel between
the front right and left speakers, making it sound
wider (higher settings) or narrower (lower settings).
(This is applicable only when using a center speaker.)
• DIMENSION – Adjusts the depth of the surround
sound balance from front to back, making the sound
more distant (minus settings), or more forward
(positive settings).
• PANORAMA – Extends the front stereo image to
include the surround speakers for a ‘wraparound’
effect.
2 Use the (OPTION) +/– buttons to adjust the
setting.
Center Width is adjustable between
0 and 7 (default : 3);
Dimension between –3 and +3 (default : 0); Panorama is
On or Off (default : Off).
3 Press OPTION again to adjust other settings.
Note
• If the SB CH MODE is switched to OFF, 2 Pro Logic
IIx (above) becomes 2 Pro Logic II (5.1 channel
sound), however the above setting will still be
effective.
Neo:6 Music settings
When listening in Neo:6 Music mode, you can adjust the
center image to create a wider stereo effect with vocals.
1 With NEO:6 MUSIC mode active, press OPTION
repeatedly to select CENTER IMAGE.
The remote control menu for this step is shown below
(see note at the start of this chapter if you need help).
2 Use the (OPTION) +/– buttons to adjust the
setting.
Adjust the effect from
0 (no effect) to 10 (most
prominence given to the center channel). The default
setting is
3.
