Pro Logic II Mode

Select one of the modes (“MUSIC”, “CINEMA”, “PRO LOGIC” or “MATRIX”).

•The Music mode is recommended when listening to CDs or watching DVDs with mostly musical content.

•The Cinema mode is best when watching movies.

•The Pro Logic mode offers the same surround processing as original Pro Logic and is best used when the source contents are not of optimum quality.

•The Matrix mode is useful for when the audio is mono.

The control can be set in 7 steps from 0 to 6.

•Panorama Mode

This mode extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side wall imaging.

•Center Width Control

This control adjusts the center image so it may be heard only from the center speaker; only from the left/right speakers as a phantom image; or from all three front speakers to varying degrees.

•Dimension Control

This control gradually adjusts the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear.

• When playing a DVD encoded in two or more channels, DOLBY PRO LOGIC II mode cannot be selected.
