Audio Adjust

With the Audio Adjust functions and settings, you can adjust the sound and listening modes as you like.

Multiplex/Mono

Multiplex

This setting determines which channel of a stereo multi- plex source is output. Use it to select audio channels or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV broadcasts, and so on.

Input Channel

`Main:

The main channel is output.

`Sub:

The sub channel is output.

`Main/Sub:

Both the main and sub channels are output.

Mono

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.

Input Channel

`Left + Right:

Both the left and right channels are output.

`Left:

Only the left channel is output.

`Right:

Only the right channel is output.

Output Speaker

`Center:

Mono audio is output by the center speaker.

`Left / Right:

Mono audio is output by the front left and right speakers.

This setting determines which speakers output mono audio when the Mono listening mode is selected.

Note

If the “Center” setting is set to “None” (46), this setting is fixed at “Left / Right”.

Dolby

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

`–3to 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” (46), this setting cannot be selected.

Dolby EX

This setting determines how Dolby EX encoded signals are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround back speakers are connected. This setting is effective with Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD only.

`Auto:

If the source signal contains a Dolby EX flag, the Dolby EX or THX Surround EX listening mode is used.

`Manual:

You can select any available listening mode.
