Adjusting
the
Acoustic
Image
(81-
PHANTOM)
To
install a
ce
nter speaker, it must be located in the dash, an equal
distance between the Left and Right speakers.
In
most cases, this is very
difficult to achieve. Using Bi-PHANTOM,
a virtual center speaker is
created by sending the center channel information to both the Left and
Right speakers. Adjusting the center width in Dolby
Pro
Logic II
"Music"
(see
"Using
Dolby Pro Logic II (Dolby
PLII)"
on page 53),
makes this function ineffective. This is used in a system where there is
no sub-woofer and the rear speakers
ca
n produce lower frequency
sounds than the front speakers. (Initial setting:
"OFF",
"±0
dB")
