[Stereo]
• - All output is directed to the front
left/right channels. Low frequencies are
directed by default to the subwoofer if one
is present in the Speaker settings. Select
"Stereo" when you wish to listen to a stereo
(or monaural) production, such as music CD
or FM broadcast, without surround
enhancement. Stereo recordings whether in
PCM/digital or analogue form and whether
surround encoded or not encoded, are
reproduced as recorded. Multi-channel
digital recordings (Dolby Digital and DTS)
are reproduced in "Stereo Downmix" mode
via the front left/right channels only as Lt/Rt
(left/right-total) signals.
• [PLIIx Movie] - Provides more stable
imaging and full bandwidth sound to the
rear channels offering sound that is more
similar to Dolby Digital decoding.
[PLIIx Music] -
• For two channel signals,
PLIIx Music features three additional user
controls - Dimension, Centre Width, and
Panorama.
1. [Center Width (0 to 7)]
the "hard-centeredness" of the centre
image, by gradually mixing mono centre
content to the Front left/right speakers
as well. A setting of 0 retains the centre-
channel-only default while a setting of 7
yields a fully phantom centre channel.
2. [Dimension (-3 to +3)]
front-rear emphasis of the surround
effect independently from the relative
channel levels.
3. [Panorama (On/Off)]
around" effect by extending some
stereo content into the surround
channels.

PLIIx Movie or PLIIx Music modes belongs to Dolby
Pro Logic IIx that processes both stereo and 5.1
signals into a 6.1 or 7.1 channel output.

when the [Back] surround speakers are set to
[Off] from [Speaker Confi guration] menu. (See
'Adjust settings' > 'Settings menu' > 'Speaker setup'
> [Speaker Confi guration]).
