•Through changing the settings on each speaker, a change in the output of the other speakers may occur due to the setting requirements.
•When using the PRO LOGIC II, if the rear speaker is set to “LARGE”, then there will be no output from the subwoofer.

Adjusting the acoustic image
In most installations, the center speaker must be placed directly between the front passenger and driver. Using this function, the center channel information is distributed to the left and right speakers. This creates an acoustic image simulating a center speaker directly in front of each listener. Adjusting the center width in PL II MUSIC (see “Using the Pro Logic II mode,” page 51), makes this function ineffective.
