Adjusting the acoustic image

In most installations, the centre speaker must be placed directly between the front passenger and driver. Using this function, the centre channel information is distributed to the left and right speakers. This creates an acoustic image simulating a centre speaker directly in front of each listener. Adjusting the centre width in PL II MUSIC (see “Using the Pro Logic II Mode” page 43), makes this function ineffective.
