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.
