Option Multiplex Mono Settings Main (default)-The main channel is output. Sub-The sub channel is output. M/S-Both the main and sub channels are output. L+R-Both the left and right channels are output. Left-Only the left channel is output. Right-Only the right channel is output. Setting the Dolby options (Panorama, Dimension, and Center Width submenus) These settings only apply to 2-channel stereo sources. The Panorama setting lets you broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music listening mode. The Dimension setting lets you move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic II 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. The Center Width setting lets you adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic II 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 is 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. Submenu Panorama Dimension Center Width Configuration On- Turns the Panorama function on. Off-Turns the Panorama function off. -3 to 0 to +3 0 to 3 to 7 Setting the DTS options (Center Image submenu) The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode lets you create 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. A value 0 is only audible from the center speaker. A value of more than 0 is audible from the left and right speakers as well. Submenu Center Image Configuration 0 to 2 (default) to 5 Adjusting the Audyssey settings (Audyssey 2EQ®, Dynamic EQ®, Dynamic Volume® and Reference Level submenus Audyssey 2EQ® is a room equalization solution that calibrates any audio system so that it can achieve optimum performance for every listener in a large listening area. Based on several room measurements, 2EQ calculates an equalization solution that corrects for both time and frequency response problems in the listening area and performs a fully automated surround system setup. With Audyssey Dynamic EQ®, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels. Audyssey Dynamic EQ® solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment, so that the content sounds the way it was created, at any volume level - not just at reference level. Note The setting is stored individually for each input selector. Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film reference. To achieve the same reference level in a home theater system, each speaker level must be adjusted so that -30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening position. A home theater system automatically calibrated by Audyssey 2EQ® plays at reference level when the master volume control is set to the 0 dB position. At that level you can hear the mix as the mixers heard it. Audyssey Dynamic EQ® is referenced to the standard film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the reference response and surround envelopment when the volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film reference level is not always used in music or other non-film content. The Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset provides three offsets from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard. Submenu Audyssey Dynamic EQ Configuration Off-No Audyssey 2EQ equalizing is applied. On-Dynamic EQ® and Dynamic Volume® become available. The Audyssey indicator lights. Off (default)-Audyssey Dynamic EQ off. On-Audyssey Dynamic EQ on. The Dynamic EQ® indicator lights. www.insigniaproducts.com 23
