d) Pro Logic II Music Panorama
Use this listening mode to expand sound space in front of a listener to both side of the listener.
On: Turns on the PL II Music Panorama mode.
Off: Turns off the PL II Music Panorama mode.
e) Pro Logic II Music Dimension
Use this listening mode to modify the sound space location forward or backward.
The setting of “3” is the normal position and setting to “2” or lower moves the sound space forward and setting to “4” or higher move the sound space backward.
If the stereo recording has excessive broadness or too strong surroundness, move the sound space forward to get the appropriate sound balance. In contrast, if the stereo recording is somewhat felt like monaural or has narrowness, move the sound space backward to get more surroundness.
f) Pro Logic II Music Center Width
In Pro Logic II decoding, outstanding center signal will be output only from center speaker. When the center speaker is not used, the decoder divide the center signal equally to each front left and right speakers to create “phantom” center sound image.
The Pro Logic II Music Center Width mode allows you to adjust where the center sound image is heard from. Depending on your setting, the center sound image will be heard from center speaker only, front left and right speakers (as phantom center sound image), or all three speakers (center, front left and right) in various level combinations. For home use, applying some “width” to center signal will improve the level balance for center and main speakers, and effect the width of the center sound image, or “mass” of the sound. Many of sound recordings processed for stereo playback will be reproduced better by controlling the parameter for this listening mode. The recommended setting for Pro Logic II Music mode is “3.” This allows you to easily distinguish the Pro Logic II Music mode from the Pro Logic II Movie mode whose setting is automatically set to “0.”
