• Subwoofer can be set to “ON” or “OFF” only.
• If the center speaker is turned “OFF,” the center channel's audio
signals are added to the audio signals output from the front
speakers.
• If you set the speaker response to “OFF,” also set the speaker
setting to “OFF.” (page 45.)
•Perform the setup for all the speakers (“Front,” “Center,” “Rear”
and “Subwoofer”). If not, the sound may not be balanced.
• When center is set to “OFF,” the setting is ineffective even if center
is set with this function.
• Through changing the settings on each speaker, a change in the
output of the other speakers may occur due to the setting
requirements.
• When using the PRO LOGIC II, if the rear speaker is set to
“LARGE”, then there will be no output from the subwoofer.

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 51), 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.

3Press 3 (LEVEL ; DN) or 4 (LEVEL UP :) 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.
• 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 Speaker” (page 45).
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.

3Press 3 (LEVEL ;DN) or 4 (LEVEL UP :) 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.).)
• 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.
Achieving powerful high volume sound
With Dolby Digital, the dynamic range is compressed so that
powerful sound can be achieved at regular volume levels. This
compression can be canceled to achieve an energetic sound with even
greater power, like the sound in a movie theater.
This function works only in the Dolby Digital mode.
1Turn the Rotary encoder to select LISTENING MODE.
2Press 1 (STD) or 2 (MAX).
STD: For powerful sound at regular volume levels
MAX: For powerful sound at high volumes
•Keep the volume to a level at which sounds outside the vehicle can
still be heard.
