Lip Sync Lip Sync
Lip Sync Lip Sync Lip Sync: Many video processors and line multipliers
cause a slight delay between the sound and the video
picture. Highly compressed video signals such as MPEG
encoded satellite receivers and some DVD’s also suffer from
this problem. The Lip Sync setting delays the audio a small
amount to allow the video image to catch up.

detailed surround decoding from two channel analog
audio sources than the previous Pro Logic modes. There are
several adjustments to get the best sound imaging from
the ProLogic II mode:
Dimension Dimension
Dimension Dimension
Dimension – Adjusts the depth of the front/rear
soundstage. For normal listening this should be set to +3.
If you find the sound too spacious, turn this setting to-
wards 0, if the sound is flat and you want more depth
from front to rear, turn the adjustment up
t6.
Center W Center W Center W Center W Center Width idth idth idth idth – Determines how strongly the
Pro Logic II decoder processing creates the
center channel image. Normally this signal is
fed only to the center channel speaker output,
but if the center speaker is set to “None” in the
speaker setup, a phantom center channel is
created from the front left and right channels.
Normally this setting is left at +3.

enabled, the front center image is extended to
include the rear surround speakers. This
provides a more enveloping wrap-around
effect.

Dolby Digital and some DTS recordings. For a
full time compressor, check out the Diva digital
room correction processor in our Home Theater
