Adjusting the PL II or PL IIx Music Mode
The following Panorama, Dimension, and Center Width parameters can only be adjusted while the PL II Music or PL IIx Music listening mode is selected.

■Panorama
With this function, you can extend the front stereo image to the surround speakers to provide a “wraparound” effect, especially useful when not much sound is being output by the surround speakers.
■Dimension
With this function, you can move the soundfield back- ward or forward.
0 to 6: Adjustable range.
When set to 3, the soundfield is in the normal posi- tion. Choose a lower setting to move the soundfield forward Choose a higher setting to move it back- ward.
If the stereo image is too wide, or there’s too much sur- round information, try moving the soundfield forward to achieve a better balance. If the stereo image is too nar- row, or it sounds almost like it’s in mono, try moving the soundfield backward.
■Center Width
With Pro Logic II/Pro Logic IIx decoding, the center- channel signal is normally output by the center speaker. If a center speaker is not used, the decoder divides the center signal equally between the front left and right speakers, producing what’s known as a “phantom” cen- ter. With this function you can choose to have the center- channel signal output by the center speaker only, by the front left and right speakers only (“phantom” center), or by a mix of the two.
0 to 7: Adjustable range.
When set to 0, the
In home theaters, adding some width to the center chan- nel can improve the balance between the center and front left and right speakers. Most stereo material will benefit from appropriate use of this function.
