Adjusting the acoustic image
In most installations, the centre speaker must be placed directly
between the front passenger and driver. Using this function, the centre
channel information is distributed to the left and right speakers. This
creates an acoustic image simulating a centre speaker directly in front
of each listener. Adjusting the centre width in PL II MUSIC (see
“Using the Pro Logic II Mode,” page 36), makes this function
ineffective.
• Avoid stopping, pausing, switching the disc, cueing, fast-forwarding
or switching the audio channel of this unit while making this
