Using the Listening Modes
—Continued
The Audio Adjust settings are explained below.
Input Channel Settings
Multiplex
This setting determines which channel is output from a
stereo multiplex source. Use it to select audio channels
or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV
broadcasts, and so on.
Main:
The main channel is output (default).
Sub:
The sub channel is output.
M/S:
Both the main and sub channels are output.
Mono Input Ch
This setting determines which channel is output when
the Mono listening mode is used with a stereo source.
L+R:
Both the left and right channels are output
(default).
L:
Only the left channel is output.
R:
Only the right channel is output.
PLII and PLIIx Music Mode Settings
These settings apply to only 2-channel (stereo) sources.
Panorama
With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front
stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music or 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 Pro Logic II Music or Pro
Logic IIx Music listening mode. The default value is 0.
It can be adjusted from –3 to +3. Higher settings move
the sound field forward. Lower settings move it back-
ward.
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
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound
from the center speaker when using the Pro Logic II
Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally,
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 speakers to create a phantom center). This setting
adjusts the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you
to adjust the weight of the center channel sound. It can
be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default value is 3).
DTS Neo:6 Music Mode Setting
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 (default
value is 2). This setting has no effect if no center speaker
is connected.
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 centrally. This setting works well when
the listening position is considerably off center. When
set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu-
ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.
Dolby Digital EX Input Signal Setting
Dolby EX
This setting determines how Dolby Digital EX signals
are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround
back speakers are connected or speaker set B is on.
Auto:
If the source signal contains a Dolby Digital
EX flag, the Dolby Digital EX listening mode
is used (default).
Manual:
You can select Pro Logic IIx Movie, Pro
Logic IIx Music, Dolby Digital, or Dolby
Digital EX.
