• If you press ADV. SURR when the headphones are
connected, the PhonesSurround mode will
automatically be selected.
• You can't use the Advanced Surround effects with
88.2/96kHz PCM or DTS 96kHz/24 bit sources.
Tip
• When an Advanced Surround listening mode is
selected, the effect level can be adjusted in the range
of 10 to 90 by pressing EFFECT/CH SEL (until EFFECT
shows in the display). The effect level can be set for
each Advanced Surround mode by pressing +/–.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music settings

When listening to 2-channel sources in Dolby Pro Logic
IIx Music mode, there are three further parameters you
can adjust: Center Width, Dimension, and Panorama.
1
With '2 Pro Logic IIx MUSIC' mode active, press
EFFECT/CH SEL repeatedly to select CENTER WIDTH,
DIMENSION or PANORAMA.
• CENTER WIDTH – Provides a better blend of the front
speakers by spreading the center channel between
the front right and left speakers, making it sound
wider (higher settings) or narrower (lower settings).
(This is applicable only when using a center speaker.)
• DIMENSION – Adjusts the depth of the surround
sound balance from front to back, making the sound
more distant (minus settings), or more forward
(positive settings).
• PANORAMA – Extends the front stereo image to
include the surround speakers for a 'wraparound'
effect.
2
Use the +/– buttons to adjust the setting.
Center Width is adjustable between 0 and 7 (default : 3);
Dimension between –3 and +3 (default : 0); Panorama is
On or Off (default : Off).
3
Press EFFECT/CH SEL again to adjust other
settings.
Note
• If the Extended mode is switched off, 2 Pro Logic IIx
(above) becomes 2 Pro Logic II (5.1 channel
sound), however the above setting will still be
effective.

possibly your subwoofer depending on your speaker

are downmixed to stereo.

While listening to a source, press STEREO for
stereo playback.
Press repeatedly to switch between:
• STEREO – The audio is heard with your surround
settings (such as channel level) and you can still use
digital processing (such as the Midnight, Loudness,
and Tone control functions).
• DIRECT – Bypass all effects and surround settings so
that the audio remains as close to the source audio
signal as possible.
Note
• If you switch on any signal processing features (for
example, the Midnight listening mode or the tone
controls) when DIRECT is selected, the receiver
automatically switches to STEREO.
