Pro Logic (PRO LOGIC)

Lets you specify the Pro Logic decoding setting.

•To set the receiver to perform Pro Logic decoding if Dolby surround encoded flag is ON or if Pro Logic decoding produces a better sound field, select “AUTO”.

•To set the receiver to perform Pro Logic decoding on rear signals, regardless of the Dolby surround encoded flag, select “ON”.

•To set the receiver not to perform Pro Logic decoding, select “OFF”.

Note

Pro Logic decoding does not function for MPEG format signals.

Effect level (EFFECT)

Lets you adjust the “presence” of the current surround effect.

Wall type (WALL)

Lets you control the level of the high frequencies to alter the sonic character of your listening environment by simulating a softer (S) or harder (H) wall. The midpoint designates a neutral wall (made of wood).

Reverberation (REVERB)

Lets you control the spacing of the early reflections to simulate a sonically longer (L) or shorter (S) room. The midpoint designates a standard room with no adjustment.

Front reverberation (FRONT REVERB)

This parameter can be used when “DIGITAL CONCERT HALL A, B” is selected. This parameter lets you adjust the amount of reverberations to add to the front signals according to the original reverberations in the source.

•To increase front reverberations, select “WET”.

•To decrease front reverberations, select “DRY”.

Screen depth (SCREEN DEPTH)

In a movie theater, sound seems to come from inside the image reflected on the movie screen. This parameter lets you create the same sensation in your listening room by shifting the sound of the front speakers “into” the screen. “DEEP” provides the greatest amount of screen depth.

Virtual speakers (VIR. SPEAKERS)

Allows you turn the virtual speakers created by “CINEMA STUDIO EX A, B, C” and “SEMI CINEMA STUDIO EX A, B, C” off or on.
