In the PANORAMA mode, the sound delivered from the front left and right speakers envelops the listener to create a 3-dimensional sound space.

Press the 1/2 cursor buttons to set the PANORAMA mode to ON or OFF.

CENTER WIDTH:

This function gradually assigns the center channel components to the front left and right speakers. By assigning them in this way, inconsistencies in the tone colors between the speakers can be smoothed out.

Adjustment in seven steps from -3 to 3 is possible using the 1/2 cursor buttons.
