Listening angle

b. Center

In the Theater-Dimensional mode, if the speaker system has a center speaker, the center channel signal can be output from the center speaker. For instance, in systems where the front left and right speakers are small, use of the center speaker may provide a better sound space and reduce the load on the front speaker. (For the proper soundfield, it is important that the speaker levels and speaker distances among the front right, front left, and center speakers are matched. In order to ensure this, make sure that the settings in the Speaker Distance Sub- menu and Level Calibration sub-menu are set correctly.)

On: Select to have the center channel signal output to the center speaker.

Off: Select to have the center channel signal output to the front left and right speakers (Phantom Center).

c. Front Expander

The front expander function spreads out the stereo image in front of the listener. The created stereo image is as if the front speakers have been farther apart for the feeling of a wide sound space. This is especially useful for nar- row listening angles of 20 degrees or less.

On: Select to turn on the front expander function to simulate a wider sound space.

Off: Select to turn off the front expander function for a normal sound space.

d. Virtual Surr Level

This setting adjusts the level of the virtual surround sig- nal. This can be set from –3 to +3 decibels. Lowering this setting can improve the sound when the definition is unclear or when the sound feels unnatural.

a. Surr Mode (Analog/PCM)

Changes the surround mode for when 2 channel analog/ PCM signals are input.

PLII Movie: Select when you want to enable the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie listening mode.

You can also easily change the Surr Mode settings using the remote controller. While playing the analog or PCM source, press the Surround button on the remote control- ler. Each press of the button cyclically changes the lis- tening modes in the order of “PLII Movie,” “PLII Music,” “Neo:6 Cinema,” and “Neo:6 Music.”

b. Surr Mode (D.F.2ch)

Changes the surround mode for when 2 channel digital signals are input.

PLII Movie: Select when you want to enable the Dolby Pro Logic II Movie listening mode.

PLII Music: Select when you want to enable the Dolby Pro Logic ll Music listening mode.

Neo:6 Cinema: Select when you want to enable the DTS Neo:6 Cinema listening mode.

Neo:6 Music: Select when you want to enable the DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode.

You can also easily change the Surr Mode settings using the remote controller. When you play 2ch digital source other than PCM (ex., the source in Dolby Digital for- mat), each press of the Surround button on the remote controller cyclically changes the listening modes in the order of “PLII Movie,” “PLII Music,” “Neo:6 Cinema,” and “Neo:6 Music.”
