Surround parameters (1) (2-channel mode)

AUTO-ST (auto stereo) mode

2-channel sources are played in 2-channel stereo.

When this mode is selected in the auto decode mode, multi-channel sources (DVD, BS digital, etc.) are played in the multi-

channel mode, while 2-channel sources (CDs, etc.) are automatically played in stereo.

PLIICINEMA / PLII MUSIC / PRO LOGIC mode

Even 2-channel sources undergo Dolby Pro Logic IIprocessing and are played in the multi-channel mode.

Dolby Digital Pro-Logic IIprocessing is applied to 2-channel sources as well to play them in the multi-channel mode.

When this mode is selected in the auto decode mode, multi-channel sources (DVD, BS digital, etc.) are played in the multi-

channel mode, and 2-channel sources (CDs, etc.) are also automatically processed with Dolby Digital Pro-Logic IIand played

in the multi-channel mode.

•PLIICINEMA (Dolby Pro Logic II CINEMA) mode

This mode is suited for playing movies recorded in Dolby Surround as well as regular sources recorded in stereo. A high

precision decoder decodes the signals into 5 channels, resulting in uniform 360 degree surround sound even with 2-

channel sources.

The MUSIC mode may be more effective for sources containing a high ratio of stereo music. Try both and choose the

most effective mode.

•PLIIMUSIC (Dolby Pro Logic II MUSIC) mode

This mode is suited for surround playback of stereo music signals. The inverted phase signals (the reverberation

component of the music signals contains a high ratio of these) are played from the surround channel, and at the same

time the frequency response of the surround channel is optimized to achieve a natural sound with a sense of expansion.

With music signals, the sound field expansion differs greatly according to the type of music, the recording conditions

(live, etc.) and the contents of the signal source. Because of this, the MUSIC mode includes optional parameters for

further adjusting the sound field.

•PANORAMA

The front stereo sound field image is extended to the surround channel.

This is effective if under normal conditions the stereo image is narrow and the surround effect seems weak.

•DIMENSION

This shifts the center of the sound field image to the front or surround side.

The playback balance of the different channels can be adjusted regardless of the amount of reverberation component

in the source. If the sound field image is biased towards the front or surround side, this optional parameter can be

used to correct it.

•CENTER WIDTH

This adjusts the method of playback of the center signal component from the center channel only to the front channel

only.

When the center channel is played in a way prioritizing separation, the position of the front channel sound field is

clearer but the overall sound field image concentrates at the center and the relationship between the different

channels seems weaker. This parameter can be adjusted to improve the sense of stability of the sound field image

and achieve natural horizontal expansion.

•PRO LOGIC(Dolby Pro Logic) mode

This is the conventional Dolby Pro Logic compatible mode. In this mode sources recorded in Dolby Surround are

decoded with a playback image faithful to the original recording.

[1] 2-channel mode settings

•In the auto decode mode, it is possible to automatically conduct multi-channel playback in the Dolby Digital or DTS surround

mode or play in the stereo 2-channel mode (AUTO STEREO mode: factory default setting). For 2-channel input signals, one of

four play modes can be set with the 2-channel mode setting (Auto Stereo, Dolby Pro-Logic IICinema, Dolby Pro-Logic II Music

and Dolby Pro-Logic).

When the function is set to VCR, CDR/TAPE or TUNER, the “Auto Stereo” 2-channel mode cannot be selected. To

play in stereo, set the surround mode to “STEREO” (page 19).

NOTES:

•The 2-channel decode mode cannot be set when Dolby

Digital 5.1-channel signals or DTS signals are being input.

•The 2-channel decode mode is stored separately for the

DVD, TV/DBS and V.AUX modes.

If the mode is set to anything other than AUTO

DECODE, the AUTO DECODE mode can be set

using the AUTO DECODE/2CH MODE button on
