• If “YES” is selected, the settings are reset to the factory
defaults.
✽ Stop operating buttons once the surround parameter
settings have been completed. After several seconds the
normal display reappears and the settings are automatically
set.
✽ This completes the Dolby Pro Logic II mode settings.
Other parameters can also be input, depending on the input
signal. Refer to page 51 for details.
NOTES:
• The Dolby Pro Logic II mode is stored in the memory individually
for the different functions.
• Dolby Pro Logic II includes four Pro Logic modes: “NORMAL”,
“PHANTOM”, “WIDE” and “3CH.LOGIC”. These are set
automatically by making the “Speaker settings (setting of
speaker type and whether or not that channel is connected)” in
the setup.
• It is not possible to play DTS digital input sources in the Dolby
Pro Logic II mode.
Surround parameters (2)
(Dolby Pro Logic II mode)
CINEMA mode
• This mode is suited for playing movies recorded in Dolby
Surround as well as regular sources recorded in stereo. A
high precision decoder decodes the signals into 5 channels,
resulting in uniform 360 degree surround sound even with
2-channel sources.
The MUSIC mode may be more effective for sources
containing a high ratio of stereo music. Try both and choose
the most effective mode.
MUSIC mode
• This mode is suited for surround playback of stereo music
signals. The inverted phase signals (the reverberation
component of the music signals contains a high ratio of
these) are played from the surround channel, and at the
same time the frequency response of the surround channel
is optimized to achieve a natural sound with a sense of
expansion.
With music signals, the sound field expansion differs greatly
according to the type of music, the recording conditions
(live, etc.) and the contents of the signal source. Because of
this, the MUSIC mode includes optional parameters for
further adjusting the sound field.
PANORAMA
The front stereo sound field image is extended to the
surround channel.
This is effective if under normal conditions the stereo image
is narrow and the surround effect seems weak.
DIMENSION
This shifts the center of the sound field image to the front
or surround side.
The playback balance of the different channels can be
adjusted regardless of the amount of reverberation
component in the source. If the sound field image is biased
towards the front or surround side, this optional parameter
can be used to correct it.
CENTER WIDTH
This adjusts the method of playback of the center signal
component from the center channel only to the front
channel only.
When the center channel is played in a way prioritizing
separation, the position of the front channel sound field is
clearer but the overall sound field image concentrates at the
center and the relationship between the different channels
seems weaker. This parameter can be adjusted to improve
the sense of stability of the sound field image and achieve
natural horizontal expansion.
DOLBY PL (Pro Logic) mode
• This is the conventional Dolby Pro Logic compatible mode.
In this mode sources recorded in Dolby Surround are
decoded with a playback image faithful to the original
recording.
✽ The selected setting (“ON” or “OFF”) flashes.
