[1] 2-channel mode settings
• In the auto decode mode, it is possible to automatically conduct multi-channel playback in the Dolby Digital or DTS surround
mode or play in the stereo 2-channel mode (AUTO STEREO mode: factory default setting). For 2-channel input signals, one of
four play modes can be set with the 2-channel mode setting (Auto Stereo, Dolby Pro-Logic II Cinema, Dolby Pro-Logic II Music
and Dolby Pro-Logic).
When the function is set to VCR, CDR/TAPE or TUNER, the "Auto Stereo" 2-channel mode cannot be selected. To
play in stereo, set the surround mode to "STEREO" (page 19).

This can be selected when the digital input consists
of no signal, PCM signals, Dolby Digital 2-channel
signals, as well as when the analog input is
selected.

Select the desired 2-channel
decode mode using the ( and
) cursor buttons on the
remote control unit.
• The mode switches as follows

is pressed:
AUTO ST PL II CINEMA
PRO LOGIC PL II MUSIC
If the AUTO DECODE/2CH MODE button on the
main unit is pressed when the mode is already set
to AUTO DECODE, the mode switches to the 2-
channel mode. The mode switches as follows each
time the button is pressed.
AUTO STEREO PLO LOGIC II C
PRO LOGIC PLO LOGIC II M
The Auto Stereo mode can be selected when the
function is set to DVD, TV/DBS or V.AUX.
Once the surround parameters have been set, stop
operating buttons. After several seconds the display
returns to normal and the settings are automatically
validated.
NOTES:
• The 2-channel decode mode cannot be set when Dolby
Digital 5.1-channel signals or DTS signals are being input.
• The 2-channel decode mode is stored separately for the
DVD, TV/DBS and V.AUX modes.
Surround parameters (1) (2-channel mode)
AUTO-ST (auto stereo) mode
2-channel sources are played in 2-channel stereo.
When this mode is selected in the auto decode mode, multi-channel sources (DVD, BS digital, etc.) are played in the multi-
channel mode, while 2-channel sources (CDs, etc.) are automatically played in stereo.
PLII CINEMA / PLII MUSIC / PRO LOGIC mode
Even 2-channel sources undergo Dolby Pro Logic II processing and are played in the multi-channel mode.
Dolby Digital Pro-Logic II processing is applied to 2-channel sources as well to play them in the multi-channel mode.
When this mode is selected in the auto decode mode, multi-channel sources (DVD, BS digital, etc.) are played in the multi-
channel mode, and 2-channel sources (CDs, etc.) are also automatically processed with Dolby Digital Pro-Logic II and played
in the multi-channel mode.
• PLII CINEMA (Dolby Pro Logic II 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.
• PLII MUSIC (Dolby Pro Logic II 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.
• PRO LOGIC (Dolby 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.
