• EXPANDED – This mode is especially
designed to give sound depth to stereo
sources, and lets you hear two-channel
(stereo) signals as simulated multichannel
surround sound. Use with Dolby Pro Logic
for a stereo surround effect. You can also
use with Dolby Digital sources for a wider
stereo field than the Standard modes.
• 7-STEREO – This can be selected to give
multichannel sound to a stereo source,
using all of the speakers in your setup.
• VIR. SURR – Creates a virtual surround
effect using just the subwoofer and front
speakers.
• PHONES SURROUND – When listening
through headphones, you can still get the
effect of overall surround.
Tip
• When an Advanced Surround listening
mode is selected, the effect level can be
adjusted in the range of
10 to 90 by
pressing EFFECT/CH SEL (until EFFECT
shows in the display). The effect level can
be set for each Advanced Surround mode
by pressing
+ / – .
Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music settings
When listening to 2-channel sources in Dolby
Pro Logic IIx Music mode, there are three
further parameters you can adjust: Center
Width, Dimension, and Panorama.

1 With ‘ 2 Pro Logic IIx MUSIC’ mode
active, press EFFECT/CH SEL repeatedly to
select ‘ C WIDTH’ , ‘ DIMEN.’ or ‘ PNRM’ .
• C WIDTH – Center Width provides a better
blend of the front speakers by spreading
the center channel between the front right
and left speakers, making it sound wider
(higher settings) or narrower (lower
settings). (This is applicable only when
using a center speaker.)
• DIMEN. – Dimension adjusts the depth of
the surround sound balance from front to
back, making the sound more distant
(minus settings), or more forward (positive
settings).
• PNRM. – Panorama extends the front
stereo image to include the surround
speakers for a ‘wraparound’ effect.
2 Use the +/– buttons to adjust the
setting.
Center Width is adjustable between 0 and 7
(default : 3 ); Dimension between –3 and +3
(default : 0 ); Panorama is On or Off (default :
Off ).
3 Press EFFECT/CH SEL again to adjust
other settings.
Neo:6 Music settings
• Default setting: 3
When listening to 2-channel sources in Neo:6
Music mode, you can adjust the center image
to create a wider stereo effect with vocals. Note
that this is only available when using a center
speaker.

Note
1 If the Extended mode is switched off, 2 Pro Logic IIx becomes 2 Pro Logic II (5.1 channel sound), however these settings
will still be effective.
