PL II and Neo:6 Settings

PL II Music (2 ch only)

These settings only apply to 2-channel (stereo) sources.

Panorama

With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music listen- ing mode.

On: Panorama function on.

Off: Panorama function off (default).

Dimension

With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Pro Logic II Music listening mode. The default value is 3. Higher settings move the sound field forward. Lower settings move it backward. It can be adjusted from 0 to 6.

If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround sound, move it backward.

Center Width

With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Pro Logic II Music listening mode. Normally if you’re using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a phantom center). This set- ting adjusts the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default value is 3).

Neo:6 Music

Center Image

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 5.1-chan- nel surround sound from 2-channel (stereo) sources. With this setting, you can specify by how much the front left and right channel output is attenuated in order to cre- ate the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default value is 3). This setting is unavailable if no sur- round speakers are connected.

When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the sound is located centrally. This setting works well when the listening position is considerably off center. When set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu- ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.
