■ Input Ch(Mono) ` L+R: Both the left and right channels are output. ` Left: Only the left channel is output. ` Right: Only the right channel is output. Dolby Settings PLIIx Music (2ch Input) These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources. If you're not using any surround back speakers, these settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, not Dolby Pro Logic IIx. ■ Panorama ` On: Panorama function on. ` Off: Panorama function off. With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. ■ Dimension ` -3 to 0 to +3 With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field backward. Lower settings move it forward. If the stereo image feels too wide, or there's too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it's in mono, or there's not enough surround sound, move it backward. ■ Center Width ` 0 to 3 to 7 With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you're using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you're not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a phantom center). This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound. PLIIz Height Gain The Height Gain Control in Dolby Pro Logic IIz enables the listener to select how much gain is applied to the front high speakers. There are three settings, "Low", "Mid" and "High", and the front high speakers are accentuated in that order. While "Mid" is the default listening setting, the listener may adjust the Height Gain Control to their personal preference. En 38 ■ Height Gain ` Low: Low PLIIz Height Gain becomes active. ` Mid: Medium PLIIz Height Gain becomes active. ` High: High PLIIz Height Gain becomes active. Note • If the "Front High" setting is set to "None" (➔ 36), or "Front High/Zone2" setting is set to "Zone2" (➔ 40), this setting is fixed at "Mid" and does not appear. Dolby EX This setting determines how Dolby EX encoded signals are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround back speakers are connected. This setting is effective with Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD only. ■ Dolby EX ` Auto: If the source signal contains a Dolby EX flag, the Dolby EX listening mode is used. ` Manual: You can select any available listening mode. Note • If the "SurrBack" Setting is set to "None" (➔ 36), this setting cannot be selected. • If the "Front High" setting is set to other than "None", this set- ting is fixed at "Manual" (➔ 36). • If the "Front High/Zone2" setting is set to "Zone2" (➔ 40), this setting is fixed at "Manual" and does not appear. DTS Setting Neo:6 Music ■ Center Image ` 0 to 2 to 5 The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel surround sound from 2-channel stereo sources. With this setting, you can specify by how much the front left and right channel output is attenuated in order to create the center channel. Setting a value "0" in the middle is set to hear a sound. Sound is spread in left and right (the outside) so that the set value is made big. Please adjust by liking. Audyssey Settings The tone for each speaker is set automatically by Audyssey 2EQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup function. Be sure to select on after having performed the Room Correction and Speaker Setup (➔ 23). ■ Audyssey ` Off: No Audyssey EQ equalizing will apply. ` On: "Dynamic EQ" and "Dynamic Volume" become available. The Audyssey indicator will light (➔ 8).
