Center Width Control
With Pro Logic decoding, dominant center signals can come only from the center speaker. If no center speaker is present, the decoder splits the center signals equally to the left and right speakers to create a “phantom” center image. The Center Width control allows variable adjustment of the center image so it may be heard only from the center speaker; only from the left/right speakers as a phantom image; or from all three front speakers to varying degrees.
It’s recommended to set the control to use the position 3 values for the Music mode. This will also help distinguish the Music mode from the Movie mode, which automatically presets the
