Onkyo HT-S7300 Theater-Dimensional, Center Width, PLIIz Height Gain, Dolby EX, Listening Angle

Dimension

`–3to 0 to +3

With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field backward. Lower settings move it forward.

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

`0 to 3 to 7

With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re using a center speaker, the center channel sound is out- put by only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distrib- uted to the front left and right speakers to create a phan- tom center). This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound.

■PLIIz Height Gain

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.

`Low:

Low PLIIz Height Gain becomes active.

`Mid:

Medium PLIIz Height Gain becomes active.

`High:

High PLIIz Height Gain becomes active.

Note

•If the “Front High” settings is set to “None” (➔ 40), this setting cannot be selected.

■Dolby EX

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.

Dolby EX

`Auto:

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

`Manual:

You can select any available listening mode.

Note

•If the “Surr Back” setting is set to “None” (➔ 41), this setting cannot be selected.

•If the “Front High” setting is enabled (➔ 40), this setting is fixed at “Manual”.

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.

Setting a value “0” in the middle is set to hear a sound. Sound is spread in left and right (the outside) so that the set value is made big. Please adjust by liking.

Theater-Dimensional

■Listening Angle

`Wide:

Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees.

`Narrow:

Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.

With this setting, you can optimize the Theater-Dimen- sional 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.
