Adjusting the speaker levels (OUTPUT LEVEL)

The test tones help to make the volume adjustments of the different
speakers. When levels are equal, a strong sense of presence can be
heard from the different speakers at the listening position.

forwarding or switching the audio channel of this unit while
making this adjustment. The setting is cancelled if the decode mode
is switched.

Check that Defeat mode is off (page 22).

The test tone is reproduced by each speaker
automatically.

Adjust the output level by turning the Rotary
encoder to balance the volume of each speaker.

• The adjustment range for the different speakers is –10 dB - +10dB.

MENU for at least 2 seconds.

Mixing bass sound to the rear channel
(REAR MIX)

This function mixes the front channel audio signals to the audio
signals output from the rear speakers, improving the sound in the
vehicle’s rear seat.

forwarding or switching the audio channel of this unit while
making this adjustment. The setting is cancelled if the Decode

Rotary encoder.

The level can adjusted in five steps: –6, –3, 0, +3 and +6. The
higher the level, the more bass is output from the rear
speakers. (The effect differs according to the software (DVD,

contents. For storing, refer to page 52.

Adjusting the acoustic image (BI-PHANTOM)

In most installations, the centre speaker must be placed directly
between 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 51), 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.

Check that Defeat mode is off (page 22).

Press and hold MENU for at least 2 seconds.

positioned directly in front of the centre speaker by
distributing the centre speaker sound left and right.
