Setting Bass Focus
Using the previously specified delay number (time difference)
allows you to set a time difference between the front-rear/left-
right speakers. Namely, it enables a time correction based on
your preference. With an initial delay of 0.05 ms for each of the 0

Using the Pro Logic II Mode

Pro Logic processing can be conducted on the music signals recorded
on two channels to achieve Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound. For
two-channel Dolby Digital and DTS signals, there is also a "Rear Fill"
function for outputting the signals of the front channel to the rear
channel.
Setting item: Dolby PLII/Rear Fill
Touch [ ] or [ ] of Dolby PLII/Rear to select the desired
mode.
PL II Movie: Suits the stereo TV shows and all programmes
encoded in Dolby Surround. It improves the
sound field directivity to near that of discrete
5.1-channel sound.
PL II Music: Can be used for all stereo music recordings, and
provides a wide, deep sound field.
OFF: Turns Dolby PL II function to OFF.
If PL II Music is selected, the centre width can be adjusted with
following operations.
This function offers the optimum vocal position by adjusting the
centre channel position between the centre speaker and the L/R
speaker. (The adjustments established in "Adjusting the
acoustic image (Bi-Phantom)" (page 55) are ineffective while
this function is activated.)
Touch [ ] or [ ] of Center Width Cont. to adjust
the level.
The level can be adjusted between 0 to +7. When the level
increases, the centre channel position moves from the
centre speaker position to both sides.
Touch [Off] of Center Width Cont. to turn off the centre width
control.
• This adjustment is effective when the setting of the centre speaker is
Small or Large in the Speaker Setup (page 55).
• "Rear Fill" function:
Depending on the input signals, the sound may only be output from
]
the front speakers. In this case, the "Rear Fill" function can be used
to output signals from the rear speakers as well.
• Avoid stopping, pausing, switching the disc, cueing, fast-forwarding
or switching the audio channel of this unit while making this
adjustment. The setting is cancelled if the Decode mode is switched.
• This adjustment is ineffective when the speaker is set Center to OFF
in "Setting the Speakers" (page 54).
• This function only works with two-channel signals. This operation is
ineffective when 5.1-channel DTS or Dolby Digital signals are input.
• If the setting of Rear Fill is made when Rear Mix is ON, sound is
unchanged in the Rear Fill setting because Rear Mix is given priority
during 2 channel decoder other than linear PCM.
• For linear PCM signals, the voice is output from the rear speaker
regardless of the Rear Fill and Rear Mix setting.
