To cancel the surround mode for stereo operation
• Depending on the signal format which is being input, either the stereo
mode or the 2CH downmix mode is selected.
• To cancel either the stereo mode or the 2 CH downmix mode, select the
desired surround mode with using the DSP MODE
(<) or
(>) button.
2CH downmix mode
• This mode allows the multi-channel signals encoded in DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG format to be mixed down into 2 front
channels and to be reproduced through only two front speakers or through headphones.
• When the SPEAKER button is set to off to listen with headphones, if the STEREO button is pressed while playing the multi-
channel digital signals from DTS or Dolby Digital sources, it will enter the 2 CH downmix mode automatically.
• To cancel the 2 CH downmix mode, select the desired Dolby Headphone mode with using the DSP MODE
(<) or
(>)
button.(For details, refer to the following “Listening in a Dolby Headphone mode” procedure.)
• Each time this button is pressed, the parameter changes and is displayed
for several seconds as follows;
Panorama mode(“PANO”, default value : OFF)
This mode extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for
an exciting “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging. Select “OFF” or “ON”.
Center width control(“C-WID”, default value : 0)
This adjusts the center image so it may be heard only from the center
speaker, only from the left/right speakers as a phantom image, or from all
three front speakers to varying degrees.
The control can be set in 8 steps from 0 to 7.
Dimension control(“DIMEN”, default value : -1)
This gradually adjusts the soundfield either towards the front or towards the
rear. The control can be set in 7 steps from -4 to +2.

ENGLISH
• The Dolby Headphone function simulates 5.1 channel surround sound, which allows you to enjoy 5.1 channel surround
sound through 2 channel headphones, just like listening from 5.1 channel speakers.
Note : Only when the SPEAKER button is set to off, the Dolby Headphone mode can be selected. However, in case of
playing the digital signals from MPEG source, either the stereo mode or the 2CH downmix mode will be
automatically selected depending on its signal format.
• While listening with headphones, select the desired Dolby Headphone mode.
• Each time the DSP MODE
(<) or
(>) button is pressed, the mode
changes as follows :
DH 1 : This simulates the soundfield as if you were in a relatively small room
with less reverberations.
DH 2 : This simulates the soundfield as if you were in a typical listening room
with moderate reverberations.
DH 3 : This simulates the soundfield as if you were in a large space like theater.
In case of playing analog stereo, PCM 2 channel or Dolby Digital 2 channel source in a Dolby Headphone mode, press the
PARAMETER button to select the desired listening mode.
• Each time this button is pressed, the mode changes as follows :
MOVIE : This provides the surround effect suitable for movie sources.
MUSIC 1 : This provides the surround effect suitable for music sources.
MUSIC 2 : This provides less surround effect compared to MUSIC 1 mode.
Listening in a Dolby Headphone mode
• When selecting the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music mode or the Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode, you can adjust the various
surround parameters for optimum surround effect.
Adjusting the Dolby Pro Logic IIx/Dolby Pro Logic II Music parameters
Press the PARAMETER button to
select the desired parameter.
