When an Advanced Surround listening mode is selected, the effect level can be adjusted in the range of 10 to 90 by pressing EFFECT/CH SEL (until EFFECT shows in the display). The effect level can be set for each Advanced Surround mode by pressing +/.

1With ‘2 Pro Logic IIx MUSIC’ mode active, press

EFFECT/CH SEL repeatedly to select CENTER WIDTH, DIMENSION or PANORAMA.

CENTER WIDTH – Provides a better blend of the front speakers by spreading the center channel between the front right and left speakers, making it sound wider (higher settings) or narrower (lower settings). (This is applicable only when using a center speaker.)

DIMENSION – Adjusts the depth of the surround sound balance from front to back, making the sound more distant (minus settings), or more forward (positive settings).

PANORAMA – Extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for a ‘wraparound’ effect.

2Use the +/– buttons to adjust the setting.

Center Width is adjustable between 0 and 7 (default : 3);

Dimension between –3and +3 (default : 0); Panorama is

On or Off (default : Off).

3Press EFFECT/CH SEL again to adjust other settings.

Neo:6 Music settings Note

If the Extended mode is switched off, 2Pro Logic IIx (above) becomes 2 Pro Logic II (5.1 channel sound), however the above setting will still be effective.

RECEIVER

While listening to a source, press STEREO for stereo playback.

Press repeatedly to switch between:

STEREO – The audio is heard with your surround settings (such as channel level) and you can still use digital processing (such as the Midnight, Loudness, and Tone control functions).

DIRECT – Bypass all effects and surround settings so that the audio remains as close to the source audio signal as possible.

Listening in stereo Note

If you switch on any signal processing features (for example, the Midnight listening mode or the tone controls) when DIRECT is selected, the receiver automatically switches to STEREO.
