Denon AVR-1909 jPanorama, SB CH Out, kDimension, A2Room Size, A0Delay Time, lCenter Width, h Center Image, A1Effect Level, A3AFDM (Auto Flag Detect Mode)

h Center Image

Assign center channel signal to front left and right channels for wider sound.

[Variable range] 0.0 ~ 0.3 ~ 1.0

jPanorama

Assign front L/R signal also to surround channels, for wider sound. If the surround effect seems weak, set “Panorama” to “ON”.

[Selectable items] ON OFF

kDimension

Shift sound image center to front or rear, to adjust playback balance.

[Variable range] 0 ~ 3 ~ 6

lCenter Width

Assign center channel signal to front left and right channels for wider sound.

[Variable range] 0 ~ 3 ~ 7

A0Delay Time

Adjust delay time to control sound stage size.

[Variable range] 0 ms ~ 30 ms ~ 110 ms

A1Effect Level

Adjust the strength of the surround effect.

[Variable range] 1 ~ 10 ~ 15

Set to a lower level if the positioning and sense of phase of the surround signals seems unnatural.

A2Room Size

Determine size of acoustic environment.

[Selectable items]

Small : Simulate acoustics of a small room.

Med.S : Simulate acoustics of a medium-small room.

Medium : Simulate acoustics of a medium room.

Med.L : Simulate acoustics of a medium-large room.

Large : Simulate acoustics of a large room.

NOTE

“Room Size” does not indicate the size of the room in which sources are played.

A3AFDM (Auto Flag Detect Mode)

Auto-select surround mode by source.

This function only works for software containing a special identification signal.

If the software being played is recorded in Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES, it is played in 6.1-channels. If not, it is played in 5.1-channels.

[Selectable items] ON OFF

Example : Playing Dolby Digital software (with EX flag)

•When “AFDM” is set to “ON”, the surround mode is automatically set to the DOLBY + PLgx CINEMA mode.

•To play in the Dolby Digital EX mode, set “AFDM” to “OFF” and “SB CH Out” to “MTRX ON”.

•Some Dolby Digital EX sources do not include EX flags. If the playback mode does not switch automatically even when “AFDM” is set to “ON”, set “SB CH Out” to “MTRX ON” or “PLIIx CINEMA”.

•When the “Amp Assign” setting is “7.1ch”, and using the surround back speakers, you can set “AFDM”.
