DRC
Press OK to turn on/off. This controls the Dynamic Range
Compression (DRC) for night time listening. DRC reduces
the difference between normal voices and sounds like explosion
to avoid waking your neighbours. The amount of range control
available depends on the disc.
Digital Output
Press OK to check the box if you have connected the
unit’s digital audio output to a receiver with Dolby Digital
or DTS.
Speaker Setup
Two options are available to adjust your
speakers setting to best fit your listening
environment.
Distance
You can specify the distance (changing the
sound delay) between speakers (front,
center and surround speakers) and the
listener for optimal stereo sound.
The default distance is 10 feet for front and
center speakers and 5 feet for surround
speakers.
Change the distance from 1 to 30 feet
according to your actual listening
environment by pressing
and
then OK.
Volume
You can make fine adjustment to the loudness
of each speaker from -10 to +10 dB. When
this option is selected, a test noise will
generate automatically from each speaker, one
by one. To go to the next speaker manually,
press .
Adjust loudness by pressing
and
press OK to confirm setting and exit the
menu.

Dimension
A simple control that alters the ratio of L+R to L-R for the two-channel
input signals. It allows the user to gradually adjust the soundfield either
towards the front or towards the rear. If a recording is too spacious or
strong from the surrounds, it can be adjusted “forward” to get a better
balance.
Likewise, if a stereo recording is somewhat too “mono” or “narrow” sounding,
it can be adjusted toward the rear to get a more enveloping, immersing
result.
Panorama
Extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an
exciting “wraparound” effect with side-wall imaging.
Center Width Control
With Pro Logic decoding, dominant center signals can come only from the
center speaker. If no center speaker is present, the decoder splits the
center signals equally to the left and right speakers to create a “phantom”
center image. The Center Width control allows variable adjustment of the
center image so it may be heard only from the center speaker; only from the
left/right speakers as a phantom image; or from all three front speakers to
varying degrees.
It’s recommended to set the control to use the position 3 values for the
Music mode. This will also help distinguish the Music mode from the Movie
mode, which automatically presets the Center-width control to position 0.

The additional flexibility of Pro Logic II allows it to be
tailored for specific applications. Five standard modes
are available:
Pro Logic - It offers users the robust surround processing of
the original Pro Logic.
Virtual
- It’s usually used when Pro Logic II is connected
to a virtual process for speaker use.
Music
- It’s recommended as the standard mode for autosound
music systems (without video), and is optional for A/V systems.
Movie
- It can be called simply “Pro Logic II”. It has stereo surround
channels and no surround filter, unlike Pro Logic which has a
mono surround channels and a 7KHz surround filter. Movie mode
is the standard required for all A/V systems.
Matrix
- It’s the same as the Music mode except that the directional
enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to enhance mono
signals by making them seem “larger”.

Dolby Digital Surround
The Dolby Digital Surround system requires connections of all 5 speakers (front
left, center, front right, surround right, surround left) for the correct surround sound
reproduction. It creates a realistic sound similar to the theaters and cinemas. A
large proportion of DVD discs use this system for sound.
Dolby Pro Logic II Surround
The Dolby Pro Logic II Surround system is the next generation in Dolby
Surround decoding. It creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-
channel sources.
This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts
the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or
tonal colorations.
3 Stereo
3 Stereo produces three channels (front left, center, front right) of sound
from a two channel analog signal. It is not a surround format so it does not require
surround speakers.
Soundfield Effects
The digital Soundfield Effects recreate the effects of sound reflected from walls or
ceilings to obtain the sound presence of real environments.
-
Stadium: recreates a large stadium using very long reverberation times.
-
Stage: recreates a stage environment, emphasizing sound from the front
speakers.
-
Hall: recreates a hall using lots of reflections. Suitable for orchestral music
such as classical and opera.
-
Disco: recreates the disco or club music effect. It is suitable for all types of
music that are played in a disco.
-
Live: suitable for all types of music.
