tening position.

The speaker distance setting cannot be changed while a pair of
headphones is connected, or “Audio TV OUT” setting is set to

The Center, Right, and Subwoofer distances can be set up to
1.5 m more or less than the Left distance. For example, if the
Left distance is set to 6 m, the Center, Right, and Subwoofer dis-
tances can be set between 4.5 and 7.5 m.
The Surround distances can be set up to 1.5 m more or 4.5 m less
than the Left distance. For example, if the Left distance is set to
6 m, the SurrRight and SurrLeft distances can be set between 1.5
and 7.5 m.

measured with C-weighting and slow reading.

Multiplex/Mono Settings

plex source is output. Use it to select audio channels or
languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV broad-
casts, and so on.

`Sub:
The sub channel is output.
`M/S:
Both the main and sub channels are output.

any 2-channel digital source such as Dolby Digital, or 2-
channel analog/PCM source in the Mono listening mode.
Input Ch(Mono)

With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front
stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music
listening mode.
Dimension
`–3 to 0
to +3
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward
or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music
listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field
backward. Lower settings move it forward.
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much
surround sound, move the sound field forward to
improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image
feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround
sound, move it backward.
Center Width
`0 to 3
to 7
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound
from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro
Logic II Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re
using a center speaker, the center channel sound is out-
put by only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a
center speaker, the center channel sound will be distrib-
uted to the front left and right speakers to create a phan-
tom center). This setting controls the front left, right,
and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the
center channel sound.
