Pro-logic IIx steering problems.

[Akuza]

Hey all, wondering if you could help me with a little problem?

I have a Denon 1705. When I use it in DPL2X the right and left stereo channels randomly are directed to the rear speakers (5.1 setup) leaving the front stereo channels naked. I have noticed it with videogames and TV. Haven't tried VHS...and I don't know if I ever will...

Is this a problem inherent with dpl2x?

Any help/suggestions/whatever would be groovy. :T

Akuza,

I don't believe so.

Do you have your receiver set for 7.1, in the menu (esp., center backs)?

It is set for 5.1. It is in PLII mode really, not PLIIx.

Akuza,

Check your Settings for Panarama and Dimension for Dolby Prologic IIx - I

PANORAMA: The Panorama option extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for a dramatic “wraparound” effect. The options are OFF or ON.
DIMENSION: The Dimension option allows you to gradually adjust the soundfield towards the front or towards the rear. There are seven incremental settings from 0 to 6. A setting of 0 shifts the soundfield towards
the rear for maximum surround effect. A setting of 6 shifts the soundfield to
the front for minimum surround effect. The default setting of 3 provides a “neutral” balance between the two extremes.

So if you have Panarama = On and Dimension =0 you will get the effect you are describine - Have Panarama on and Dimension 3 and you wll get a better result.

Regards

Geoff
