Advanced Setup-Continued Dimension With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. It can be adjusted from -3 to +3 (default is 0). Lower settings move the sound field forward. Higher settings move it backward. If the stereo image feels too wide, or there is too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it is in mono, or there is not enough surround sound, move it backward. Center Width With this function, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music or Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you are using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you are 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. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default is 3). ■ Neo:6 Music Center Image 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. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default is 2). This setting is unavailable if no surround speakers are connected. When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is attenuated by half (-6 dB), giving the impression that the sound is located centrally. This setting works well when the listening position is considerably off center. When set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenuated, maintaining the original stereo balance. Dolby EX Input Signal Setting ■ 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. Auto: If the source signal contains a Dolby EX flag, the Dolby EX or THX Surround EX listening mode is used (default). Manual: You can select any available listening mode. 82 T-D (Theater-Dimensional) Listening Setting ■ Listening Angle With this setting, you can specify the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Processing for the Theater-Dimensional listening mode is based on this setting. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings. Front left speaker Front right speaker 30˚ Narrow: Select if the angle is less than 30 degrees. Wide: Select if the angle is greater than 30 degrees (default). DSD Setting ■ DAC Direct This setting determines whether or not DSD (SACD) audio signals are passed through the DSP for A/V Sync, delay, etc., processing when the Pure Audio or Direct listening mode is selected. No: DSD signals are processed by the DSP (default). Yes: DSD signals are not processed by the DSP. LFE Level Settings With these settings, you can set the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel individually for Dolby Digital, DTS, multichannel PCM, Dolby TrueHD, DTSHD Master Audio, and DSD sources. The level can be set to -∞, -10 dB, or 0 dB (default). If you find that low-frequency effects are too loud when using one of these sources, change the setting to -10 dB or -∞ dB. ■ Dolby Digital Sets the level of the LFE channel for Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus sources. ■ DTS Sets the level of the LFE channel for DTS and DTS-HD High Resolution sources. ■ Multich PCM Sets the level of the LFE channel for multichannel PCM sources. (Multichannel PCM is input via HDMI.) ■ Dolby TrueHD Sets the level of the LFE channel for Dolby TrueHD sources. ■ DTS-HD Master Audio Sets the level of the LFE channel for DTS-HD Master Audio sources. ■ DSD Sets the level of the LFE channel for DSD (SACD) sources.
