■PL IIz Height Gain

`Low

`Mid

`High

The Height Gain Control in Dolby Pro Logic IIz enables the listener to select how much gain is applied to the front high speakers. There are three settings, “Low”, “Mid” and “High”, and the front high speakers are accentuated in that order. While “Mid” is the default listening setting, the listener may adjust the Height Gain Control to their personal preference.

Note

•If the “Front High” setting is set to “None” (➔ page 52), this setting cannot be selected.

•If the “Powered Zone 2” setting is set to “Yes” (➔ page 52) and Zone 2 is turned on, this setting cannot be selected.

■Dolby EX

`Auto:

If the source signal contains a Dolby EX flag, the Dolby EX or THX Surround EX listening mode is used.

`Manual:

You can select any available listening mode.

This setting determines how Dolby EX encoded signals are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround back speakers are connected. This setting is effective with Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD only.

Note

•If the “Surround Back” setting is set to “None” (➔ page 52), this setting cannot be selected.

•If the “Powered Zone 2” setting is set to “Yes” (➔ page 52) and Zone 2 is turned on, this setting cannot be selected.

Note

(➔ page 47).

DTS

■Neo:6 Music

Center Image

`0 to 2 to 5

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel 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 create the center channel.

Changing the value from “0” to “5” will spread the sound of the center channel to left and right (outwards).

Advanced Operations

Theater-Dimensional

■Listening Angle

`Wide:

Select if the listening angle is greater than 30 degrees.

`Narrow:

Select if the listening angle is less than 30 degrees. With this setting, you can optimize the Theater- Dimensional listening mode by specifying the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings.

Front left speaker	Front right speaker
	Listening angle: 30°

Note

•For best results, we recommend setting “Narrow” to 20° and “Wide” to 40°.
