Logic II Music Mode

The Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode has three settings you can choose from which adjust the spatial feeling of the surround sound. These settings are best matched to each individual source instead of one setting being left on for all sources. The three settings and how to apply them are explained here.

CENTER WIDTH : With Pro Logic decoding center channel signals can come only from the center speaker. If no center speaker is present this channel is split between the two front speakers, creating a "phantom" channel. The CENTER WIDTH feature lets you adjust the center channel so it can heard only from the center speaker, only as a "phantom" channel or in varying degrees of both.

DIMENSION: This allows you to adjust the soundfield towards the front or towards the rear of your room.

PANORAMA: This gives the music a wraparound surround feel.

3Use the +/– buttons to add or subtract

the amount of effect or turn on/off.

CENTER WIDTH : Strengthen or weaken the effect between 0–7. The default is 3.

DIMENSION: Move soundfield backward or forward with -3 being the furthest back and +3 being the furthest forward. The default is 0.

PANORAMA: Turn on or off. The default is off.
