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.

M/S: Both the main and sub channels are output.

■Mono (2ch)

This setting determines which channel is output when the Mono listening mode is used with a stereo source.

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 II & PL IIx Music Mode Settings

These settings apply to only 2-channel (stereo) sources.

■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’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

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’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 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 cen- ter channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default is 3).

DTS 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 or speaker B is on.

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.
