Customizing sound fields (continued)
2ch decode mode (2CH MODE)
Lets you specify the type of decoding for the 2 channel source. This receiver incorporates with Dolby Surround Pro Logic II, and DTS Neo:6. Each of these has movie mode and music mode, and the receiver can reproduce the 2 channel sound in 5.1 channel through Dolby Surround Pro Logic II, or 6 channel through DTS Neo:6.
•When set to “PRO LOGIC”, the receiver performs the Pro Logic decoding. The source recorded in 2 channel is decoded into 4 channels.
•When set to “PL II MOVIE”, the receiver performs the Pro Logic II movie mode decoding. This setting is ideal for the movies encoded in Dolby Surround. Besides, this mode can reproduce the sound in 5.1 channel when watching the videos of old movies or in the dubbed language.
•You can set to “PL II MUSIC” only when “NORMAL SURROUND” is selected. When set to “PL II MUSIC”, the receiver performs the Pro Logic II music mode decoding. This setting is ideal for the normal stereo sources, such as CDs. You can make further adjustments using center width control, dimension control, and panorama mode parameters.
•When set to “Neo: Cinema”, the receiver performs the DTS Neo:6 movie mode decoding. This setting is ideal for the movies encoded in DTS Surround.
•You can set to “Neo: Music” only when “NORMAL SURROUND” is selected. When set to “Neo: Music”, the receiver performs the DTS Neo:6 music mode decoding. This setting is ideal for the normal stereo sources, such as CDs.
Note
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II and DTS Neo:6 do not function for DTS or MPEG format signals.
Center width control (C WIDTH)
You can set this parameter only when 2ch decode mode is set to “PL II MUSIC”. You can adjust the distribution of the center channel signal, generated through the Dolby Surround Pro Logic II decoding, to the L/R speakers.
Dimension control (DIMENSION)
You can set this parameter only when 2ch decode mode is set to “PL II MUSIC”. You can adjust the difference between the front channels and the surround channels.
Panorama mode (PANORAMA MODE)
You can set this parameter only when 2ch decode mode is set to “PL II MUSIC”. You can enjoy the surround sound by spreading the sound field of front speakers to the left and right of the listening position.
Effect level (EFFECT LEVEL)
Lets you adjust the “presence” of the current surround effect.
Wall type (WALL)
