•Each time these buttons are pressed, the parameter mode changes as follows:

 

"NIGHT"

"PANO"

"C.WIDTH"

"DIMEN"

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Night mode)

(Panorama mode)

(Center width control)

(Dimension control)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

•"NIGHT" can be selected only while playing digital signals from Dolby Digital source.

•"PANO", "C.WIDTH" and "DIMEN" can be selected only while listening in Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode.

4. Repeat the above steps 2 and 3 to adjust other parameters.

3. Press the CURSOR LEFT( )/ RIGHT( ) buttons to adjust the selected parameter as desired.

When selecting the "NIGHT (Night mode)"

This function compresses the dynamic range of previously specified parts of Dolby Digital 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. The night mode can be set in 11 steps from 0.0 to 1.0 (default value : 0.0).

Note : In some Dolby Digital softwares, the night mode may not be valid.

When selecting the "PANO (Panorama)" mode 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 "C. WIDTH (Center width)" control

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 "DIMEN (Dimension)" control 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).
