Advanced Adjustments and Settings x PANORAMA MODE (Panorama mode) Lets you perform further adjustments for Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode decoding (PLII MUSIC). You can set this parameter only when "2CH MODE" is set to "PLII MUSIC" (page 38) and NORMAL SURROUND is selected. • ON Lets you enjoy the surround sound by spreading the sound field of front speakers to the left and right of the listening position (panorama mode). • OFF Panorama mode is not activated. x WALL (Wall type) Initial setting: midpoint (0) When sound is reflected off soft material, such as a curtain, the high frequency elements are reduced. A hard wall is highly reflective and does not significantly effect the frequency response of the reflected sound. "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. You can adjust from S to H in 17 steps. The center (0) setting designates a neutral wall made of wood. x REVERB (Reverberation) Initial setting: midpoint (0) Before sound reaches our ears, it is reflected (reverberated) many times between he left and right walls, ceiling, and floor. In a large room, sound takes more time to bounce from one surface to another than in a smaller room. "REVERB" lets you control the spacing of the early reflections to simulate a sonically longer (L) or shorter (S) room. You can adjust from S to L in 17 steps. The midpoint (0) designates a standard room with no adjustment. x FRONT REVERB (Front reverberation) This parameter is especially for "D.CONCERT HALL A/B" (page 36). This parameter lets you adjust the amount of reverberations to add to the front signals according to the original reverberations in the source. • DRY Select to decrease front reverberations. • STD Normally, select "STD". • WET Select to increase front reverberations. x SCREEN DEPTH (Screen depth) Lets you create the sensation that the sound of the front speakers comes from inside the screen in your listering room, like theaters. • OFF This function is not activated. • MID Normally, select "MID". • DEEP Lets you create the sensation that the sound comes from a very large screen with a greate amount of screen depth. x VIR.SPEAKERS (Virtual speakers) This parameter is especially for the Cinema Studio EX modes (page 35). • ON The virtual speakers are created. • OFF The virtual speakers are not created. continued 53GB

WALL (Wall type)
Initial setting: midpoint (0)
When sound is reflected off soft material, such as a
curtain, the high frequency elements are reduced. A
hard wall is highly reflective and does not
significantly effect the frequency response of the
reflected sound.
“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. You can adjust from S to H in 17
steps. The center (0) setting designates a neutral wall
made of wood.
x
REVERB (Reverberation)
Initial setting: midpoint (0)
Before sound reaches our ears, it is reflected

walls, ceiling, and floor. In a large room, sound takes
more time to bounce from one surface to another than
in a smaller room.
“REVERB” lets you control the spacing of the early
reflections to simulate a sonically longer (L) or
shorter (S) room. You can adjust from S to L in 17
steps. The midpoint (0) designates a standard room
with no adjustment.
x
FRONT REVERB (Front reverberation)
This parameter is especially for “D.CONCERT
HALL A/B” (page 36).
This parameter lets you adjust the amount of
reverberations to add to the front signals according to
the original reverberations in the source.
• DRY
Select to decrease front reverberations.
STD
Normally, select “STD”.
• WET
Select to increase front reverberations.
x
SCREEN DEPTH (Screen depth)
Lets you create the sensation that the sound of the
front speakers comes from inside the screen in your
listering room, like theaters.
• OFF
This function is not activated.
MID
Normally, select “MID”.
• DEEP
Lets you create the sensation that the sound comes
from a very large screen with a greate amount of
screen depth.
x
