Advanced Setup—Continued

4-1. Mono

a. Output Channel

This setting determines which speakers are used to out- put mono audio when the Mono listening mode is used.

L/R: Mono audio is output from the front left and right speakers (default).

Center: Mono audio is output from the center speaker.

4-2. PLII Music

a. Panorama

With this function, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music listening mode.

On: Panorama function on.

Off: Panorama function off (default).

b. Dimension

With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music listening mode. The default setting is 3. Higher settings move the sound field forward. Lower settings move it backward.

If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround sound, move it backward.

c. Center Width

With this function, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic

IIMusic listening mode. If you’re using a center speaker, with Dolby Pro Logic II, the center channel sound is out- put by only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a cen- ter speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a phantom center). This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the cen- ter channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default is 3).

4-3. Enhance, 4-4. Orchestra, 4-5.

Unplugged, 4-6. Studio-Mix, 4-7. TV Logic

& 4-8. Mono Movie

These settings apply to the Onkyo original DSP listening modes.

a. Front Effect

With this setting, you can turn off the reverb for the front speakers. This is useful when playing live material that already contains live reverberation and the reverb added by the DSP listening mode simply blurs the original sound. When the Front Effect is turned off, no reverb is added to the front left, right, and center speakers and the original reverberation can be heard as it is.

On: Front Effect on (default).

Off: Front Effect off.

b. Reverb Level

With this setting, you can adjust the amount of reverb to suit your listening environment, source material, and so on. The available settings are: Low, Middle (default), and High.

c. Reverb Time

With this setting, you can adjust the reverb time to suit your listening environment, source material, and so on. The available settings are: Short, Middle (default), and Long.

4-9. Theater-Dimensional

These settings apply to the Theater-Dimensional listen- ing mode.

a. Listening Angle

With this setting, you can specify the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Processing for the Theater-Dimensional listening mode is based on this setting. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings.

Front left speaker

Front right speaker

 

20/40˚

20º: Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.

40º: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees (default).

b. Center

With this setting, you can specify whether or not you’re using a center speaker. If you are, the center channel sound will be output by the center speaker when using the Theater-Dimensional listening mode. This reduces the workload of the front left and right speakers, and cre- ates a more articulate sound space.

On: Select if using a center speaker.

Off: Select if not using a center speaker (default).

c. Front Expand

With the Front Expander function, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image. This can be useful with narrow listening angles of 20 degrees or less.

On: Front Expander function on.

Off: Front Expander function off (default).

d. Dialog Enhance

With this function, you can improve the clarity of the center channel, which usually contains dialog.

On: Dialog Enhance function on.

Off: Dialog Enhance function off (default).
