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.
If PL II MUSIC is selected, the center width can be adjusted with
following operations.
This function offers the optimum vocal position by adjusting the
center channel position between the center speaker and the L/R
speaker. (The adjustments established in
“Adjusting the
acoustic image (BI-Phantom)” (page 30) 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 center channel position moves from
the center speaker position to both sides.
Touch [OFF] of Center Width Cont. to turn off the center
width control.
This adjustment is effective when the setting of the center speaker is
SMALL or LARGE in the speaker setup settings (
page 30).
“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 canceled if the Decode mode is switched.
This adjustment is ineffective when the speaker is set Center to OFF
in
“Setting the Speakers” (page 29).
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.
Setting item: X-Over
1
Touch [ ] or [ ] of X-Over to select L+R or L/R.
2
Touch [ ] of X-Over.
A speaker list on the X-Over screen is displayed.
3
Touch [ ] of the speaker to be adjusted.
The screen changes to the X-Over screen to be adjusted.

Selecting the Cut-Off Frequency
Touch [ ] or [ ] of Freq., then select the cut-off frequency
(crossover point).
The adjustable bandwidth differs depending on the speaker
(channel).
Adjusting the Level
Touch [ ] or [ ] of Level, then adjust the HPF or LPF level.
Adjusting the Slope
Touch [ ] or [ ] of Slope, then adjust the HPF or LPF slope.
When the speaker is set to the “OFF” mode, the X-Over for that
speaker cannot be set. Refer to
“Setting the Speakers” (page 29).
Check the playback frequencies of the connected speakers before
adjusting.
In order to protect the speakers, there is no OFF setting for the
subwoofer low pass filter (the slope remains the same).
The HPF SLOPE cannot be turned OFF if Tweeter (TW) is selected
for Front 1. If STEREO is selected for the subwoofer, this adjustment
is not available.

right channels.
