PL II & PL IIx Music Modes & Audio Adjust

The following Panorama, Dimension, and Center Width functions can be used with only the Pro Logic II Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. They cannot be adjusted if you’re using the Pro Logic IIx listening mode for 6.1-channel playback from a 5.1-channel source.

Panrma (Panorama)

With this function you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode.

On: Panorama function on.

Off: Panorama function off (default).

Dimension

With this function you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. The default setting is 3. Lower settings move the sound field forward. Higher set- tings move it backward.

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.

C Width (Center Width)

With this function you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode.

If you’re using a center speaker, with Pro Logic II or Pro Logic IIx, 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 controls 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 3).
