Alpine iXA-W407 owner manual Using the Pro Logic II Mode, Over Adjustment, 27-EN

Using the Pro Logic II Mode

Pro Logic processing can be conducted on the music signals recorded on two channels to achieve Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound. For two-channel Dolby Digital and DTS signals, there is also a “REAR FILL” function for outputting the signals of the front channel to the rear channel.

Setting item: DOLBY PLII/REAR FILL

Touch [ ] or [ ] of DOLBY PLII/REAR to select the desired mode.

PL II MOVIE: Applicable for all stereo video programming. It also works well with programs encoded with Dolby Surround. The processed sound-field approaches that of discrete 5.1 channel sound.

PL II MUSIC: Can be used for all stereo music recordings, and

provides a wide, deep sound field.

OFF: Turns DOLBY PLII function to OFF.

If PL II MUSIC is selected, the center width can be adjusted with following operations.

This function offers the optimum vocal position by adjusting the center channel position between the center speaker and the L/R speaker. (The adjustments established in “Adjusting the acoustic image (BI-Phantom)” (page 30) are ineffective while this function is activated.)

Touch [ ] or [ ] of Center Width Cont. to adjust the level. The level can be adjusted between 0 to +7. When the level increases, the center channel position moves from the center speaker position to both sides.

Touch [OFF] of Center Width Cont. to turn off the center width control.

•This adjustment is effective when the setting of the center speaker is SMALL or LARGE in the speaker setup settings (page 30).

•“REAR FILL” function:

Depending on the input signals, the sound may only be output from the front speakers. In this case, the “REAR FILL” function can be used to output signals from the rear speakers as well.

•Avoid stopping, pausing, switching the disc, cueing, fast-forwarding or switching the audio channel of this unit while making this adjustment. The setting is canceled if the Decode mode is switched.

•This adjustment is ineffective when the speaker is set Center to OFF in “Setting the Speakers” (page 29).

•This function only works with two-channel signals. This operation is ineffective when 5.1-channel DTS or Dolby Digital signals are input.

•If the setting of REAR FILL is made when Rear MIX is ON, sound is unchanged in the rear fill setting because Rear MIX is given priority during 2 channel decoder other than linear PCM.

•For linear PCM signals, the voice is output from the rear speaker regardless of the REAR FILL and Rear MIX setting.

X-Over Adjustment

Setting item: X-Over

1 Touch [ ] or [ ] of X-Over to select L+R or L/R.

L+R: Sets the same adjustment values for the left and right channels.

L/R: Different adjustment values can be set for the left and right channels.

The adjustable bandwidth differs depending on the speaker (channel).

Adjusting the Level

Touch [] or [ ] of Level, then adjust the HPF or LPF level.

Adjusting the Slope

•When the speaker is set to the “OFF” mode, the X-Over for that speaker cannot be set. Refer to “Setting the Speakers” (page 29).

•Check the playback frequencies of the connected speakers before adjusting.

•In order to protect the speakers, there is no OFF setting for the subwoofer low pass filter (the slope remains the same).

•The HPF SLOPE cannot be turned OFF if Tweeter (TW) is selected for Front 1. If STEREO is selected for the subwoofer, this adjustment is not available.
