(page 40) • Perform the setup for all the speakers ("Front," "Center," "Rear" and "Subwoofer"). If not, the sound may not be balanced. • When center is set to "OFF", the setting is ineffective even if center is set with this function. • Through changing the settings on each speaker, a change in the output of the other speakers may occur due to the setting requirements. • When using the PRO LOGIC II, if the rear speaker is set to "LARGE", then there will be no output from the subwoofer.

Adjusting the acoustic image (BI-PHANTOM) In most installations, the center speaker must be placed directly between the front passenger and driver. Using this function, the center channel information is distributed to the left and right speakers. This creates an acoustic image simulating a center speaker directly in front of each listener. Adjusting the center width in PL II MUSIC (see "Using the Pro Logic II Mode," page 46), makes this function ineffective. • Avoid stopping, pausing, switching the disc, cueing, fast-forwarding or switching the audio channel of this unit while making this adjustment. The setting is canceled if the Decode mode is switched. Touch [ ] or [ ] of BI-PHANTOM to adjust the level. The level can be adjusted within the range of -5 to +5. The higher the level, the more the position of the center speaker is shifted to the sides. The BI-PHANTOM function is turned off by touching [OFF]. • This adjustment is effective when the setting of the center speaker to SMALL or LARGE in the speaker setup settings. • This adjustment is ineffective when the speaker is set to CENTER OFF in "Setting the Speakers" (page 40). Mixing bass sound to the rear channel (REAR MIX) This function mixes the front channel audio signals to the audio signals output from the rear speakers, improving the sound in the vehicle's rear seat. • Avoid stopping, pausing, switching the disc, cueing, fast-forwarding or switching the audio channel of this unit while making this adjustment. The setting is canceled if the Decode mode is switched. Touch [ ] or [ ] of REAR MIX to adjust the level. The level can adjusted in five steps: -6, -3, 0, +3 and +6. The higher the level, the more bass is output from the rear speakers. (The effect differs according to the software (DVD, etc.).) The REAR MIX function is turned off by touching [OFF]. • This adjustment is ineffective when the rear speaker setup setting is set to "OFF." • For linear PCM signals, the voice is output from the rear speaker regardless of the REAR FILL and REAR MIX setting. Achieving powerful high volume sound (LISTENING MODE) With Dolby Digital, the dynamic range is compressed so that powerful sound can be achieved at regular volume levels. This compression can be canceled to achieve an energetic sound with even greater power, like the sound in a movie theater. This function works only in the Dolby Digital mode. Touch [ ] or [ ] of LISTENING MODE to select STD or MAX. STD: For powerful sound at regular volume levels MAX: For powerful sound at high volumes • Keep the volume to a level at which sounds outside the vehicle can still be heard. 45-EN
