Onkyo Comprehensive Guide to Audyssey Setup and Surround Sound Settings for TX-SR508

■Input Ch(Mono)

`L+R:

Both the left and right channels are output.

`Left:

Only the left channel is output.

`Right:

Only the right channel is output.

Dolby Settings

PLIIx Music (2ch Input)

These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources.

If you’re not using any surround back speakers, these set- tings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, not Dolby Pro Logic IIx.

■Panorama

`On:

Panorama function on.

`Off:

Panorama function off.

With this setting, you can 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.

■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 lis- tener may adjust the Height Gain Control to their personal preference.

DTS Setting

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.

Audyssey Settings

The tone for each speaker is set automatically by Audyssey 2EQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup function. Be sure to select on after having performed the Room Correction and Speaker Setup (➔ 23).
