When selecting the Dolby Pro Logic II music

•You can adjust the various surround parameters for optimum surround effect.

■Note:

•The parameter settings are valid only when listening in either Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode or the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music mode.

■When selecting the Panorama

This mode extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting "wraparound" effect with side wall imaging. Select "Off" or "On"(default value:Off).

■When selecting the Center Width

This adjusts the center image so it may be heard only from the center speaker, only from the left/right speakers as a phantom image, or from all three front speakers to varying degrees. The control can be set in 8 steps from 0 to 7 (default value : 3).

■When selecting the Dimension

This gradually adjusts the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear. The control can be set in 7 steps from -3 to +3(default value : 0).

When selecting the Night mode

•This function compresses the dynamic range of previously specified parts of the Dolby Digital or Dolby TrueHD sound track (with extremely high volume) to minimize the difference in volume between the specified and non-specified parts.

This makes it easy to hear all of the sound track when watching movies at night at low levels.

■Notes:

•The night mode setting is valid only when the digital signals from the Dolby Digital or Dolby TrueHD program source are being input.

•In some Dolby Digital softwares, the night mode setting may not be valid.
