Adjusting the acoustic image
In most installations, the center speaker must be placed directly
between the front passenger and driver. Using this function, the center
channel information is distributed to the left and right speakers. This
creates an acoustic image simulating a center speaker directly in front
of each listener. Adjusting the center width in PL II MUSIC (see
“Using the Pro Logic II Mode,” page 50), makes this function
ineffective.
• Avoid stopping, pausing, switching the disc, cueing, fast-
forwarding or switching the audio channel of this unit while
making this adjustment. The setting is canceled if the Decode mode
is switched.
Touch [;] or [:] of BI - PHANTOM to adjust the level.
The level can be adjusted within the range of -5 to +5. The
higher the level, the more the position of the center speaker is
shifted to the sides.
The BI-PHANTOM function is turned off by touching
[OFF].
• This adjustment is effective when the setting of the center speaker
to SMALL or LARGE in the speaker setup settings.
• This adjustment is ineffective when the speaker is set to CENTER
OFF in “Setting the Speakers” (page 44).
Mixing bass sound to the rear channel
This function mixes the front channel audio signals to the audio
signals output from the rear speakers, improving the sound in the
vehicle’s rear seat.
• Avoid stopping, pausing, switching the disc, cueing, fast-
forwarding or switching the audio channel of this unit while
making this adjustment. The setting is canceled if the Decode mode
is switched.
Touch [;] or [:] of REAR MIX to adjust the level.
The level can adjusted in five steps: –6, –3, 0, +3 and +6. The
higher the level, the more bass is output from the rear
speakers. (The effect differs according to the software (DVD,
etc.).)
The REAR MIX function is turned off by touching [OFF].
• This adjustment is ineffective when the rear speaker setup setting is
set to “OFF.”
• For linear PCM signals, the voice is output from the rear speaker
regardless of the REAR FILL and REAR MIX setting.
