Logic II Music mode decoding (PLII MUSIC). You
can set this parameter only when "2CH MODE" is set
to "PLII MUSIC" (page 38) and NORMAL
SURROUND is selected.
You can adjust the distribution of the center channel
signal, generated through the Dolby Pro Logic II
decoding, to the L/R speakers in 8 steps.
x DIMENSION
(Dimension control)
Initial setting: midpoint (0)
Lets you perform further adjustments for Dolby Pro
Logic II Music mode decoding (PLII MUSIC). You
can set this parameter only when "2CH MODE" is set
to "PLII MUSIC" (page 38) and NORMAL
SURROUND is selected.
You can adjust the difference between the front
channels and the surround channels in 7 steps.
x PANORAMA MODE
(Panorama mode)
Lets you perform further adjustments for Dolby Pro
Logic II Music mode decoding (PLII MUSIC). You
can set this parameter only when "2CH MODE" is set
to "PLII MUSIC" (page 38) and NORMAL
SURROUND is selected.
• ON
Lets you enjoy the surround sound by spreading the
sound field of front speakers to the left and right of
the listening position (panorama mode).
• OFF
Panorama mode is not activated.
x WALL (Wall type)
Initial setting: midpoint (0)
When sound is reflected off soft material, such as a
curtain, the high frequency elements are reduced. A
hard wall is highly reflective and does not
significantly effect the frequency response of the
reflected sound.
"WALL" lets you control the level of the high
frequencies to alter the sonic character of your
listening environment by simulating a softer (S) or
harder (H) wall. You can adjust from S to H in 17
steps. The center (0) setting designates a neutral wall
made of wood.
x REVERB (Reverberation)
Initial setting: midpoint (0)
Before sound reaches our ears, it is reflected
(reverberated) many times between he left and right
walls, ceiling, and floor. In a large room, sound takes
more time to bounce from one surface to another than
in a smaller room.
"REVERB" lets you control the spacing of the early
reflections to simulate a sonically longer (L) or
shorter (S) room. You can adjust from S to L in 17
steps. The midpoint (0) designates a standard room
with no adjustment.
x FRONT REVERB (Front reverberation)
This parameter is especially for "D.CONCERT
HALL A/B" (page 36).
This parameter lets you adjust the amount of
reverberations to add to the front signals according to
the original reverberations in the source.
• DRY
Select to decrease front reverberations.
• STD
Normally, select "STD".
• WET
Select to increase front reverberations.
x SCREEN DEPTH (Screen depth)
Lets you create the sensation that the sound of the
front speakers comes from inside the screen in your
listering room, like theaters.
• OFF
This function is not activated.
• MID
Normally, select "MID".
• DEEP
Lets you create the sensation that the sound comes
from a very large screen with a greate amount of
screen depth.
