Adjusting the Listening Modes—Continued

PL II 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 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 listening mode. The default setting is 3. Higher settings move the sound field forward. Lower settings 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 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 speakers to create a phantom center). This set- ting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allow- ing you to adjust the weight of the center 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 5-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.

Using the Late Night Function (Dolby Digital only)

With the Late Night function, you can reduce the dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you don’t want to disturb anyone.

1

Press the [RECEIVER] button,

 

and then press the [L NIGHT] but- ton repeatedly to select:

Off: Late Night function off. Low: Small reduction in dynamic

range.

High: Big reduction in dynamic range.

Notes:

•The effect of the Late Night function depends on the Dolby Digital material that you are playing, and with some material there will be little or no effect.

•The Late Night function is set to Off when the AV receiver is set to Standby.

Using the CinemaFILTER

With the CinemaFILTER, you can soften overly bright movie soundtracks, which are typically mixed for repro- duction in a movie theater.

CinemaFILTER can be used with the following listening modes: Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, DTS, and DTS Neo:6 Cinema.

Press the [RECEIVER] button,

 

 

and then press the [CINE FLTR]

 

button repeatedly to select:
