Adjusting the Listening Modes-Continued Direct Setting Delay Enable ■ DSD 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 not processed by the DSP. Yes: DSD signals are processed by the DSP. Multiplex/Mono Settings Multiplex ■ Input Ch This setting determines which channel of a stereo multiplex source is output. Use it to select audio channels or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV broadcasts, and so on. Main: The main channel is output (default). Sub: The sub channel is output. Main/Sub: Both the main and sub channels are output. Mono ■ Input Ch This setting determines which channel is output when the Mono listening mode is used with a stereo source. L+R: Both the left and right channels are output (default). L: Only the left channel is output. R: Only the right channel is output. ■ Output Speaker This setting determines which speakers output mono audio when the Mono listening mode is selected. L/R: Mono audio is output by the front left and right speakers. C: Mono audio is output by the center speaker (default). PLIIx/Neo:6 Settings PLIIx Music (2 ch 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 With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. On: Panorama function on. Off: Panorama function off (default). ■ Dimension With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. It can be adjusted from -3 to +3. The default value is 0. Higher settings move the sound field forward. Lower settings move it backward. 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 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. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7. The default value is 3. Neo:6 Music ■ Center Image This setting is unavailable if no surround speakers are connected. 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. The default value is 3. 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. 83

or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music
listening mode. It can be adjusted from –3 to +3. The
default value is 0. Higher settings move the sound field
forward. Lower settings move it backward.
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much

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

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

ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.
