The Audio Adjust functions 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.
Main/Sub: Both the main and sub channels are output.
■ Mono (2chSource)
This setting specifies the channel to be used for playing
any 2-channel digital source such as Dolby Digital, or 2-
channel analog/PCM source in the Mono listening
mode.
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.
PL IIx Music Mode Settings
These settings provide for playing any 2-channel digital
source such as Dolby Digital, or 2-channel analog/PCM
source in the PLIIx Music listening mode.
■ Panorama
With this function, 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 setting is 3.
Higher settings move the sound field forward. Lower set-
tings move it backward.
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there is too much
surround sound, move the sound field forward to
improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image
feels like it is in mono, or there is not enough surround
sound, move it backward.
■
Center Width
With this function, 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
if you are using a center speaker, the center channel
sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you are 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 controls 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 is 3).
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
is 3). This setting is unavailable if no surround speakers
are 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 D EX
This setting determines how Dolby Digital EX signals
are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround
back speakers are connected.
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.
