The main channel is output (default).

 

Sub:

The sub channel is output.

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.

Input (Mono)

L+R:

Both the left and right channels are output (default).

Only the left channel is output.

3-2. Dolby

These settings apply to only 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:

Panorama function on.

 

Off:

Panorama function off (default).

With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode.

Dimension

–3 to +3 (default: 0)

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 7 (default: 3)

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 by only the center speaker.

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