following cases:
– A pair of headphones is connected.
– The "Audio TV Out" setting is set to "On"

With this setting, you can 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.
