Turn this setting on to broaden the width of the front
stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic II Music
listening mode.
Dimension
–3 to 0 to +3
With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or
backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic II 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
0 to 3 to 7
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound
from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic
II Music listening mode. Normally, if you're using a
center speaker, the center channel sound is output from
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.

Sound is spread in left and right (the outside) so that the
set value is made big. Please adjust by liking.
