Linn UNIDISK SC PLAYER owner manual Dolby PL II Cntl Control

English Setup Menus

Dolby PL II Mode (Analogue outputs only)

Default setting: Movie

This menu is suitable for use if your UNIDISK SC is connected to front, plus centre and/or surround speakers.

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five output channels from any internal or auxiliary two-channel source, such as an audio CD, stereo tuner signal or set-top box audio signal. This is achieved using an advanced, surround decoder that extracts the spatial qualities of the original recording/signal without adding any new sounds. The UNIDISK SC offers four modes of Pro Logic II operation.

Dolby PL

This mode recreates the surround processing offered by original Dolby Pro Logic. The Dolby PL setting is suitable if the source material is not of the best quality (for example, a worn VCR tape).

Music

As its name suggests, this mode is recommended when listening to music. If you select Music mode you can adjust certain Dolby Pro Logic II parameters in the Dolby PL II Cntl menu (see opposite).

Movie

This mode is recommended for when watching DVD-Videos.

Matrix

Matrix mode can be used to enhance mono signals (e.g. AM radio broadcasts) by making them seem “larger”.

Dolby PL II Cntl (Control)

If you have selected Music in the Dolby PL II Mode menu, then you are able to enter the Pro Logic II Cntl menus. Highlighting Dolby PL II Cntl and pressing ‘enter’ reveals the first Dolby PL II Cntl screen.

Dimension

Default setting: 0

The Dimension control allows you to shift the balance between the front and surround speakers. Positive values move the sound towards the front, negative values towards the surrounds. If a recording is too spacious or strong from the surround speakers it can be shifted “forward” to get a better balance. A stereo recording can be shifted “backward” to make the sound more enveloping.

Panorama

Default setting: Off

If set to On the Panorama control extends the audio signal from the front left and right speakers, to include the surround left and right speakers. This will add a “wraparound” effect to the sound.

Centre Width

Default setting: 0

This control allows adjustment of the audio signal between the centre speaker and front left and right speakers.

If set to 0, all of the audio signal for the centre channel is sent to the centre speaker.

If set between 1 and 6, a lesser to greater portion of the centre channel signal is also sent to the left and right front speakers.

If set to 7, all of the centre channel signal is split evenly between the front left and right speakers.

To exit Dolby PL II Cntl:
