Using the Listening Modes—Continued

PLIIx/Neo:6

PLIIx Music (2 ch Input)

These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources.

If you’re not using any surround back speak- ers, these settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, not Dolby Pro Logic IIx.

Panorama

With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby 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 Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. It can be adjusted from –3 to +3. The default value is 0. Higher settings move the sound field backward. Lower settings move it for- ward.

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 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 distributed to the front left and right speak- ers to create a phantom 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. The default value is 3.

Neo:6 Music

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. The default value is 2.

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 cen- trally. This setting works well when your lis- tening position is considerably off center. When set to 5, the front left and right chan- nels are not attenuated, maintaining the origi- nal stereo balance.

Dolby EX

Dolby EX

This setting determines how Dolby EX sig- nals are handled.

Auto: When the source is Dolby EX, you can select the Dolby EX lis- tening mode.

Manual: When the source is Dolby EX, you can select any of the listening modes compatible with this for- mat (e.g., Dolby EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, etc.).
