Pro Logic processing can be conducted on the music signals recorded

on two channels to achieve Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound. For

two-channel Dolby Digital and DTS signals, there is also a “REAR

FILL” function for outputting the signals of the front channel to the rear

channel.

Setting item: DOLBY PLII/REAR FILL

Touc h [] or [] of DOLBY PLII/REAR to select the

desired mode.

If PL II MUSIC is selected, the centre width can be adjusted with

following operations.

This function offers the optimum vocal position by adjusting the

centre channel position between the centre speaker and the L/R

speaker. (The adjustments established in “Adjusting the

acoustic image (BI-PHANTOM)” (page44) are ineffective while

this function is activated.)

Touch [] or [] of CENTER WIDTH CONT. to adjust the

level.

The level can be adjusted between 0 to +7. When the

level increases, the centre channel position moves from

the centre speaker position to both sides.

Touch [OFF] of CENTER WIDTH CONT. to turn off the

centre width control.

•This adjustment is effective when the setting of the centre speaker is

SMALL or LARGE in the speaker setup settings (page 45).

•“REAR FILL” function:

Depending on the input signals, the sound may only be output from

the front speakers. In this case, the “REAR FILL” function can be

used to output signals from the rear speakers as well.

•Avoid stopping, pausing, switching the disc, cueing, fast-forwarding

or switching the audio channel of this unit while making this

adjustment. The setting is cancelled if the Decode mode is switched.

•This adjustment is ineffective when the speaker is set CENTER to

OFF in “Setting the Speakers” (page44).

•This function only works with two-channel signals. This operation is

ineffective when 5.1-channel DTS or Dolby Digital signals are input.

•If the setting of REAR FILL is made when REAR MIX is ON, sound is

unchanged in the rear fill setting because REAR MIX is given priority

during 2 channel decoder other than linear PCM.

•For linear PCM signals, the voice is output from the rear speaker

regardless of the REAR FILL and REAR MIX setting.

Setting item: X-OVER

slope.

•When the speaker is set to the “OFF” mode, the X-OVER for that

speaker cannot be set. Refer to “Setting the Speakers” (page 44).

•Check the playback frequencies of the connected speakers before

adjusting.

•In order to protect the speakers, there is no OFF setting for the

subwoofer low pass filter (the slope remains the same).

•The HPF cannot be set SLOPE to OFF if Tweeter (TW) is selected

for FRONT1 . Or, only the subwoofer is adjustable if STEREO is

selected for the subwoofer.
