signals are added to the audio signals output from the front speakers.
If you set the speaker response to “OFF,” also set the speaker setting
to “OFF” (page 32).

the front passenger and driver. Using this function, the centre channel
information is distributed to the left and right speakers. This creates an
acoustic image simulating a centre speaker directly in front of each
listener. Adjusting the centre width in PL II MUSIC (see “Using the Pro
Logic II Mode,” page 39), makes this function ineffective.
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.
