Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II decoding is designed to produce a
Set this item to one of the following. Due to the different recording methods used for movies and music, it is recommended that the correct decoding mode for your source material is used to obtain the best results.

Music | Music mode is for use with any stereo music recording. As the optimum decoding |
|
|
| method varies according to the recording, Music mode allows user adjustment of |
|
|
| the processing characteristics; information about adjusting the Music mode by |

Matrix | The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the directional |
|
|

| enhancement logic is turned off. Matrix mode may be used to enhance mono |
|
|
| signals by making them seem ‘larger’. |

Dimension
(This setting can be adjusted only when Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode is selected.)
‘Dimension’ allows you to adjust gradually the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear. If a recording is too spacious or strong from the surrounds, it can be adjusted ‘forward’ to get a better balance. Likewise, if a stereo recording is somewhat too ‘narrow’ sounding, it can be adjusted toward the rear to get a more enveloping, immersive result. We recommend ‘Dimension’ is set to 0 for normal use.

| With Dolby Pro Logic II decoding, dominant centre signals come | |
|
| |||
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| only from the centre speaker. If no centre speaker is present, the | |
|
|
| decoder splits the centre signal equally to the left and right speakers | |
|
|
| to create a ‘phantom’ centre image. The Centre Width control allows | |
|
|
| variable adjustment of the centre image so it may be heard only from | |
|
|
| the centre speaker; only from the left/right speakers as a phantom | |
|
|
| image; or from all three front speakers to varying degrees. We | |
|
|
| recommend ‘Centre Width’ is set to 3 for normal use. | |
