Multi Channel Function Adjustment Procedure

Make the adjustments described below in order to reproduce Dolby Digital and DTS sound with greater accuracy.

Setting the 2-Channel Signal Playback Mode (Mode) (page 52)

This sets the 2-channel signal playback mode.

Adjusting the Acoustic Image (BI-PHANTOM) (page 55)

Adjusting the acoustic image to achieve a sound as if the

center speaker were directly in front of the listener.

Setting the Linear PCM (PCM Mode) (page 56)

You can choose either 2ch or 3ch for the playback output of a

disc recorded on the linear PCM.

Mixing the Low Range Audio of the Center with the Front L/R

(Center Bass Split) (page 56)

Turning this feature on makes the audio signals emitted from the front L/R speakers mixed with the center audio signals (low range).

Mixing the Low Range Audio for the Rear (Rear Mix) (page 55)

Achieving smooth sound in the rear seat by mixing the front

audio signals with the rear speaker signals.

Achieving Powerful High Volume Sound (Listening Mode)

(page 56)

Achieving energetic sound with even greater power, like the

sound in a movie theater.

Adjusting the DVD Level (DVD Level) (page 57)

Adjust the volume signal level in each of the Dolby Digital,

Dolby Pro Logic II, DTC and PCM modes.

Adjusting the Speaker Volume Level (Output Level) (page 54)

Adjust each speaker’s volume so they are the same level.

Storing the Preset Values (Preset Store) (page 36)

Storing all the settings and adjustments made on the PXA- H800 (not only the above settings/adjusts) in the memory.

In case of combining the Automatic adjustments, etc.

We recommend to make the Automatic adjustments before the Dolby Surround adjustments.
