Using the Pro Logic II Mode

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.

1 Check that Defeat mode is off (page 12).

2 Press and hold TA/RTN/SETUP for at least 2 seconds.

The SETUP screen is displayed.

3 Press the joystick up or down to select AP SETUP, then press the joystick right.

The AP SETUP screen is displayed.

4 Press the joystick up or down to select D PLII/ REAR, then press the joystick right.

5 Press the joystick left or right to select the desired mode of D PLII/REAR.

MOVIE: Suits the stereo TV shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. It improves the sound field directivity to near that of discrete 5.1-channel sound.

MUSIC: Can be used for all stereo music recordings, and provides a wide, deep sound field.

R.FILL: 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.

OFF: Turns D PLII/REAR FILL function to OFF.

If MUSIC is selected, the centre width can be adjusted with the 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” (page 37) are ineffective while this function is activated).

1Press the joystick down to select CENTER WIDTH, then press the joystick left or right to select ON.

2Press the joystick left or right 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.

The centre width control is cancelled when set to OFF.

This adjustment is effective when the setting of the centre speaker is SMALL or LARGE in the speaker setup settings.

Avoid stopping, pausing, switching the disc, cueing, fast-forwarding or switching the audio channel of this unit while making this adjustment. The setting is canceled if the Decode mode is switched.

This adjustment is ineffective when the speaker is set to CENTER OFF in “Setting the Speakers” (page 32).

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.

Pressing TA/RTN/SETUP will return to the previous screen.

Linear PCM Setting

The output when playing discs recorded in linear PCM can be set to 2 or 3 channels.

1 Check that Defeat mode is off (page 12).

The SETUP screen is displayed.

3 Press the joystick up or down to select AP SETUP, then press the joystick right.

4 Press the joystick up or down to select PCM MODE.

5 Press the joystick left or right to select 2CH or 3CH.

2CH: 2ch output (L/R)

3CH: 3ch output (L/R/CENTER)

This adjustment is ineffective when the speaker is set to CENTER OFF in “Setting the Speakers” (page 32).
