Alpine VPA-B222 owner manual Soft button operation, Basic operation, Linear PCM Setting, 39-EN

If MUSIC is selected, the center width can be adjusted with the 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” (page 37) are ineffective while this function is activated).

1Press the joystick down to select CENTER WIDTH, then press the joystick left or right to select ON.

2Press the joystick left or right 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.

The center width control is canceled when set to OFF.

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

•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 to CENTER OFF in “Setting the Speakers” (page 33).

•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.

•Pressing MUTE/RTN/SETUP will return to the previous screen.
