Using the Listening Modes
—Continued
PLIIx/Neo:6
PLIIx Music (2 ch Input)
These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo
sources.
If you’re not using any surround back speak-
ers, these settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic
II, not Dolby Pro Logic IIx.
■
Panorama
With this setting, you can broaden the width
of the front stereo image when using the
Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode.
On:
Panorama function on.
Off:
Panorama function off (default).
■
Dimension
With this setting, you can move the sound
field forward or backward when using the
Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. It
can be adjusted from –3 to +3. The default
value is 0. Higher settings move the sound
field backward. Lower settings move it for-
ward.
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s
too much surround sound, move the sound
field forward to improve the balance. Con-
versely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in
mono, or there’s not enough surround sound,
move it backward.
■
Center Width
With this setting, you can adjust the width of
the sound from the center speaker when using
the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening
mode. Normally, if you’re using a center
speaker, the center channel sound is output by
only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a
center speaker, the center channel sound will
be distributed to the front left and right speak-
ers to create a phantom center). This setting
controls the front left, right, and center mix,
allowing you to adjust the weight of the cen-
ter channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0
to 7. The default value is 3.
Neo:6 Music
■
Center Image
The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates
6-channel surround sound from 2-channel
stereo sources. With this setting, you can
specify by how much the front left and right
channel output is attenuated in order to create
the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0
to 5. The default value is 2.
When set to 0, the front left and right channel
output is attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving
the impression that the sound is located cen-
trally. This setting works well when your lis-
tening position is considerably off center.
When set to 5, the front left and right chan-
nels are not attenuated, maintaining the origi-
nal stereo balance.
