Pioneer VSX-415 Mode D'emploi page 31

Listening to your system
• EXPANDED – This mode is especially
designed to give sound depth to stereo
sources, and lets you hear two-channel
(stereo) signals as simulated multichannel
surround sound. Use with Dolby Pro Logic
for a stereo surround effect. You can also
use with Dolby Digital sources for a wider
stereo field than the Standard modes.
• 6-STEREO (VSX-515) / 5-STEREO (VSX-415) –
This can be selected to give multichannel
sound to a stereo source, using all of the
speakers in your setup.
• EX POWER (VSX-415 model only) – Gives
additional energy and depth to a stereo
source by using the surround speakers in
addition to the front speakers (see the
diagram on page 22 for the Extra Power
mode speaker setup).
• VIR. SURR (VSX-515 model only) – Creates a
virtual surround effect using just the
subwoofer and front speakers.
• PHONES SURROUND – When listening
through headphones, you can still get the
effect of overall surround.
Tip
• The Advanced Surround effects can be
adjusted in the range of 10 to 90 by (VSX-
415) pressing EFFECT +/– or (VSX-515) by
pressing EFFECT/CH SEL (until EFFECT
shows in the display) then using +/–. The
effect level can be set for each Advanced
Surround mode.
Note
1 If the Extended mode is switched off, 2 Pro Logic IIx becomes 2 Pro Logic II (5.1 channel sound), however these settings
will still be effective.

DIALOG E SELECT
1 With ' 2 Pro Logic IIx MUSIC' mode
active, press EFFECT/CH SEL repeatedly to
select C WIDTH , ' DIMEN.' or ' PNRM' .
• C WIDTH – Center Width provides a better
blend of the front speakers by spreading
the center channel between the front right
and left speakers, making it sound wider
(higher settings) or narrower (lower
settings). (This is applicable only when
using a center speaker.)
• DIMEN. – Dimension adjusts the depth of
the surround sound balance from front to
back, making the sound more distant
(minus settings), or more forward (positive
settings).
• PNRM. – Panorama extends the front
stereo image to include the surround
speakers for a 'wraparound' effect.
2 Use the +/– buttons to adjust the
setting.
Center Width is adjustable between 0 and 7
(default : 3); Dimension between –3 and +3
(default : 0); Panorama is On or Off (default :
Off).
3 Press EFFECT/CH SEL again to adjust
other settings.
