Menu Audio Adjust

With the Audio Adjust functions and settings, you can adjust the sound and listening modes as you like.

Multiplex/Mono

■Multiplex Input Ch (Mux)

`Main

`Sub

`Main/Sub

This setting determines which channel of a stereo multiplex source is output. Use it to select audio channels or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV broadcasts, and so on.

■Mono

Input Ch (Mono)

`Left+Right

`Left

`Right

This setting specifies the channel to be used for playing any 2-channel digital source such as Dolby Digital, or 2- channel analog/PCM source in the Mono listening mode.

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 output only from 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 setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound.

■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.

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 41), this setting cannot be selected.

Dolby

■PLIIx Music (2ch Input)

These settings only apply to 2-channel stereo sources. If you’re not using any surround back speakers, these settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, not Dolby Pro Logic IIx.

Panorama

`On

`Off

Turn this setting on to broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode.

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.

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).
