PLIIx Music (2ch Input)
These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources.
If you’re not using any surround back speakers, these 
settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, not Dolby Pro 
Logic IIx.
Panorama
`
On:
Panorama function on.
`
Off:
Panorama function off.
With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front 
stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music 
listening mode.
Dimension
`
–3 to 0 to +3
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward 
or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music 
listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field 
backward. 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. Conversely, if the stereo image 
feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround 
sound, move it backward.
Center Width
`
0 to 3 to 7
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound 
from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro 
Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re 
using a center speaker, the center channel sound is out-
put by only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a 
center speaker, the center channel sound will be distrib-
uted to the front left and right speakers to create a phan-
tom center). This setting controls the front left, right, 
and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the 
center channel sound.

PLIIz Height Gain
The Height Gain Control in Dolby Pro Logic IIz 
enables the listener to select how much gain is applied 
to the front high speakers. There are three settings, 
“Low”, “Mid” and “High”, and the front high speakers 
are accentuated in that order. While “Mid” is the default 
listening setting, the listener may adjust the Height Gain 
Control to their personal preference.
`
Low:
Low PLIIz Height Gain becomes active.
`
Mid:
Medium PLIIz Height Gain becomes active.
`
High:
High PLIIz Height Gain becomes active.
Note
• If the “Front High” settings is set to “None” (

cannot be selected.

Neo:6 Music
Center Image
`
0 to 2 to 5
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. 
Setting a value “0” in the middle is set to hear a sound. 
Sound is spread in left and right (the outside) so that the 
set value is made big. Please adjust by liking.
