06 Listening to your system surround sound. Use with Dolby Pro Logic for a stereo surround effect. You can also use with Dolby Digital sources for a wider stereo field than the Standard modes. • 7-STEREO - This can be selected to give multichannel sound to a stereo source, using all of the speakers in your setup. • VIR. SURR - Creates a virtual surround effect using just the subwoofer and front speakers. • PHONES SURROUND - When listening through headphones, you can still get the effect of overall surround. Tip • When an Advanced Surround listening mode is selected, the effect level can be adjusted in the range of 10 to 90 by pressing EFFECT/CH SEL (until EFFECT shows in the display). The effect level can be set for each Advanced Surround mode by pressing +/-.

(This is applicable only when using a center speaker.) • DIMEN. - Dimension adjusts the depth of the surround sound balance from front to back, making the sound more distant (minus settings), or more forward (positive settings). • PNRM. - Panorama extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for a 'wraparound' effect. 2 Use the +/- buttons to adjust the setting. Center Width is adjustable between 0 and 7 (default : 3); Dimension between -3 and +3 (default : 0); Panorama is On or Off (default : Off). 3 Press EFFECT/CH SEL again to adjust other settings. Neo:6 Music settings • Default setting: 3 When listening to 2-channel sources in Neo:6 Music mode, you can adjust the center image to create a wider stereo effect with vocals.
