f) Pro Logic II Music Center Width
In Pro Logic II decoding, outstanding center signal will be output
only from center speaker. When the center speaker is not used, the
decoder divide the center signal equally to each front left and right
speakers to create “phantom” center sound image.
The Pro Logic II Music Center Width mode allows you to adjust
where the center sound image is heard from. Depending on your
setting, the center sound image will be heard from center speaker
only, front left and right speakers (as phantom center sound image),
or all three speakers (center, front left and right) in various level
combinations. For home use, applying some “width” to center signal
will improve the level balance for center and main speakers, and
effect the width of the center sound image, or “mass” of the sound.
Many of sound recordings processed for stereo playback will be
reproduced better by controlling the parameter for this listening
mode. The recommended setting for Pro Logic II Music mode is “3.”
This allows you to easily distinguish the Pro Logic II Music mode
from the Pro Logic II Movie mode whose setting is automatically set
to “0.”
3-9. THX Setup

the one that is modified. The parameters that can be set are shown in
the table below.
Parameter Setting
Initial value
a RE-EQ (THX) Off, On On
b Decoder (Analog/PCM) PL II, Neo:6 PL II
c THX Surround Off, On Auto
(Dolby D)
a) Re-EQ
Re-EQ (re-equalization) takes the edginess or “brightness” out of
your home cinema sound to compensate for the fact that sound
mixed for theaters may sound too bright when played back through
speakers in the home environment.
This can be set to either “On” or “Off.”
This parameter is only enabled for the THX listening mode. Also,
this is set to “On” when the DTR-7.2 is turned on.
b) Decoder
Select the decoding mode for THX processes.
PL II: Select for Dolby Pro Logic II Movie.
Neo:6: Select for DTS Neo:6 Cinema.
c) THX Surround EX (Dolby D)
This setting allows you to set whether or not Dolby Digital sources
will be played back using THX Surround EX when a surround back
speaker is connected.
Auto: Automatically outputs signals with EX-identifying
signals using THX Surround EX.
On: Outputs using THX Surround EX regardless of whether or
not the signal contains EX identifiers.
Off: Does not output using THX Surround EX regardless of
whether or not the signal contains EX identifiers.
3-8. Surround Setup

f Center Width 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 3
a) Surr Mode (Analog/PCM)
Changes the surround mode for 2-channel analog/PCM input
signals.
b) Surr Mode (D.F.2ch)
Changes the surround mode for 2-channel digital input signals.
c) DTS-ES
Selects DTS-ES mode.
Auto: When the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag (ID signal for
DTS-ES), the listening mode is automatically changed to DTS-
ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1. If the DTS source has no
DTS-ES flag, the mode is changed to DTS 5.1.
On: When the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag, the listening
mode is automatically changed to DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-
ES Matrix 6.1. If the DTS source has no DTS-ES flag, the mode
is forced to be DTS-ES Matrix 6.1.
Off: Even when the DTS source has the DTS-ES flag, the DTS-
ES listening modes are not used. The DTS sources are always
played in DTS 5.1 mode.
d) Pro Logic II Music Panorama
Use this listening mode to expand sound space in front of a listener
to both side of the listener.
On: Turns on the PL II Music Panorama mode.
Off: Turns off the PL II Music Panorama mode.
e) Pro Logic II Music Dimension
Use this listening mode to modify the sound space location forward
or backward.
The setting of “3” is the normal position and setting to “2” or lower
moves the sound space forward and setting to “4” or higher move the
sound space backward.
If the stereo recording has excessive broadness or too strong
surroundness, move the sound space forward to get the appropriate
sound balance. In contrast, if the stereo recording is somewhat felt
like monaural or has narrowness, move the sound space backward to
get more surroundness.
