4.Use the To adjust the room two settings: and Manual background buttons to select between on and off. When this setting is on, Pro Logic II’s panorama circuits will blend an amount of the front channel information into the side speakers so that the sound field appears to wrap around the front and sides of the soundstage. Experiment with a variety of program sources to see if this effect is one you prefer.

5.Press the Manual background button to select the dimension menu.

6.Use the Manual background and Manual background buttons to cycle through the dimension options. The dimension settings appear as follows as you scroll through them:

step 0, step 1, step 2, step 3, step-3, step-2, step-1

You can scroll in either direction using the Manual background and Manual background buttons.

The dimension control uses special circuitry to give the impression that the “center” of the sound field is moving towards the front or rear of the room. Experiment with a vari- ety of program sources to see if this effect is one you prefer. Use as much or as little dimension as you feel is needed.

As with the other Pro Logic II controls, the use of this setting and the degree to which it is used is a matter of personal preference.
