Audio Adjust

With the Audio Adjust functions and settings, you can adjust the sound and listening modes as you like.
Multiplex/Mono Settings
Multiplex
Input Channel
This setting determines which channel of a stereo multiplex source is output. Use it to select audio channels or
languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV broadcasts, and so on.
Mono
Input Channel
This setting specifies the channel to be used for playing any 2-channel digital source such as Dolby Digital, or
2-channel analog/PCM source in the Mono listening mode.
Dolby Settings
PLIIx Music (2ch Input)
These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources.
If you're not using any surround back speakers, these settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, not Dolby Pro Logic IIx.
Panorama
With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Music listening mode.
Dimension
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music
listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field backward. Lower settings move it forward.
If the stereo image feels too wide, or there's too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve
the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it's in mono, or there's not enough surround sound, move
it backward.
Center Width
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic
IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you're using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only
the center speaker. (If you're not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front
left and right speakers to create a phantom center.) This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix,
allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound.
Dolby EX
Dolby EX
This setting determines how Dolby EX encoded signals are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround
back speakers are connected. This setting is effective with Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD
only.
Notes:
• If the "Surr Back" Setting is set to "None" (page 67), this setting cannot be selected.
• If the "Front High" Setting is set to other than "None", this setting is fixed at "Manual" (page 67).
