Setup —Continued
■ Panorama
With this setting, you can broaden the width
of the front stereo image when using the
Dolby Pro Logic II 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 II listening mode. It can be
adjusted from –3 to +3. The default value is 0.
Higher settings move the sound field back-
ward. Lower settings move it forward.
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 II listening mode. Nor-
mally, 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 dis-
tributed to the front left and right speakers to
create a phantom center). This setting con-
trols 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.
■ Center Image
With this setting, you can specify by how
much the front left and right channel output is
attenuated in order to create the pseudo center
channel.
A setting of 0 produces the strongest sense of
a center channel, which can be useful when
your listening position is not central. Higher
settings produce a more faithful stereo image.
The default value is 2.
■ EX. BASS
Through experiment and listening tests, EX.
BASS technology was developed to provide a
more natural and deeper bass. It offers a more
dynamic and deeper presence with movies
and music.
Off:
EX. BASS off.
On:
EX. BASS on (default).
■ LstnAngl (Listening Angle)
With this setting, you can optimize the The-
ater-Dimensional listening mode by specify-
ing the angle of the front left and right
speakers relative to your listening position.
Ideally, the front left and right speakers
should be equidistant from your listening
position and at an angle close to one of the
two available settings.
Narrow:
Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.
Middle:
Select if the listening angle is 30 degrees
(default).
Wide:
Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees.
