)53@&OCPPL 1BHF  .POEBZ .BSDI 1. Advanced Function-Continued 0 to 5: Adjustable range. When set to 5, nothing is subtracted from the left and right channels. When set to 0, the left and right channel levels are halved (-6 dB), making the center channel more dominant, particularly useful when the listener is off-center. This function has no effect on the level of the center speaker. Adjusting the PL II or PL IIx Music Mode The following Panorama, Dimension, and Center Width parameters can only be adjusted while the PL II Music or PL IIx Music listening mode is selected. These parameters cannot be adjusted if you're using the Pro Logic IIx listening mode for 6.1-channel playback from a 5.1-channel source. ■ Panorama With this function, you can extend the front stereo image to the surround speakers to provide a "wraparound" effect, especially useful when not much sound is being output by the surround speakers. ■ Dimension With this function, you can move the soundfield backward or forward. 0 to 6: Adjustable range. When set to 3, the soundfield is in the normal position. Choose a lower setting to move the soundfield forward Choose a higher setting to move it backward. If the stereo image is too wide, or there's too much surround information, try moving the soundfield forward to achieve a better balance. If the stereo image is too narrow, or it sounds almost like it's in mono, try moving the soundfield backward. ■ Center Width With Pro Logic II/Pro Logic IIx decoding, the centerchannel signal is normally output by the center speaker. If a center speaker is not used, the decoder divides the center signal equally between the front left and right speakers, producing what's known as a "phantom" center. With this function you can choose to have the centerchannel signal output by the center speaker only, by the front left and right speakers only ("phantom" center), or by a mix of the two. 0 to 7: Adjustable range. When set to 0, the center-channel signal is output by the center speaker only. When set to 7, it's output by the front left and right speakers only ("phantom" center). In home theaters, adding some width to the center channel can improve the balance between the center and front left and right speakers. Most stereo material will benefit from appropriate use of this function. Digital Input Signal Formats The following table shows the display indicators for each supported digital signal format. Format Dolby Digital DTS PCM Display Normally, the HT-R520 detects the signal format automatically. However, if you experience either of the following issues when playing PCM or DTS material, you can set the signal format to PCM or DTS: • If the beginnings of tracks from a PCM source are cut off, try setting the format to PCM. • If noise is produced when fast forwarding or reversing a DTS CD or LD, try setting the format to DTS.
