✽
Stop operating buttons once the surround parameter
settings have been completed. After several
seconds the normal display reappears and the
settings are automatically set.

This completes the Dolby Pro Logic
II
mode settings.
Other parameters can also be input, depending on
the input signal. Refer to page 27 for details.
NOTES:
• The Dolby Pro Logic
II
mode is stored in the memory
individually for the different functions.
• Dolby Pro Logic
II
includes four Pro Logic modes:
“NORMAL”, “PHANTOM”, “WIDE” and “3 STEREO”.
These are set automatically by making the “Speaker
settings (setting of speaker type and whether or not that
channel is connected)” in the setup.
• It is not possible to play DTS digital input sources in the
Dolby Pro Logic
II
mode.
Surround parameters (2)
(Dolby Pro Logic
II
mode)
CINEMA mode
• This mode is suited for playing movies recorded in
Dolby Surround as well as regular sources recorded in
stereo. A high precision decoder decodes the signals
into 5 channels, resulting in uniform 360 degree
surround sound even with 2-channel sources.
The MUSIC mode may be more effective for sources
containing a high ratio of stereo music. Try both and
choose the most effective mode.
MUSIC mode
• This mode is suited for surround playback of stereo
music signals. The inverted phase signals (the
reverberation component of the music signals
contains a high ratio of these) are played from the
surround channel, and at the same time the frequency
response of the surround channel is optimized to
achieve a natural sound with a sense of expansion.
With music signals, the sound field expansion differs
greatly according to the type of music, the recording
conditions (live, etc.) and the contents of the signal
source. Because of this, the MUSIC mode includes
optional parameters for further adjusting the sound
field.
PANORAMA
The front stereo sound field image is extended to the
surround channel.
This is effective if under normal conditions the stereo
image is narrow and the surround effect seems weak.
DIMENSION
This shifts the center of the sound field image to the
front or surround side.
The playback balance of the different channels can be
adjusted regardless of the amount of reverberation
component in the source. If the sound field image is
biased towards the front or surround side, this
optional parameter can be used to correct it.
CENTER WIDTH
This adjusts the method of playback of the center
signal component from the center channel only to the
front channel only.
When the center channel is played in a way prioritizing
separation, the position of the front channel sound
field is clearer but the overall sound field image
concentrates at the center and the relationship
between the different channels seems weaker. This
parameter can be adjusted to improve the sense of
stability of the sound field image and achieve natural
horizontal expansion.
DOLBY PL (Pro Logic) mode
• This is the conventional Dolby Pro Logic compatible
mode. In this mode sources recorded in Dolby
Surround are decoded with a playback image faithful
to the original recording.
