PCM Effects and Parameters3

PCMEffectsandParameters

The PCM Effects are compatible with two-channel input signals (analog or digital).

Panorama

Panorama extracts the natural ambience from recorded music and moves it outward from the speakers, producing greater width and depth of image and a feeling of enhanced spaciousness. This mode adds no additional sound but expands the existing stereo image. Panorama also works well with Dolby Stereo movies, bringing the surround track outward into the room.

The location of the front speakers and the listening position are crucial to Panorama’s effectiveness and for best results your system and the MC-1 together should be set up and calibrated according to the procedure in Chapter 2. The strength of the Panorama effect drops off as you move away from the prime listening position, especially to the sides. Video systems with the L/R main speakers spaced closely on either side of a TV screen will produce a usable effect over a somewhat wider area than set-ups with a large angle between the L/R main speakers.
