PANORAMA CONTROL

If set to ON the Panorama Control extends the audio signal from the front loudspeakers to include the surround loudspeakers. This adds a "wraparound" effect to the sound.

Options: ON, OFF

Default setting: OFF

DIMENSION CONTROL

This parameter allows you to shift the balance between the front and rear loudspeakers. Positive values move the sound towards the front, negative values towards the rear. If a recording is too spacious or strong from the surround loudspeakers it can be shifted "forward" to get a better balance. Likewise, a recording that is too strong from the front loudspeakers can be shifted "backward" to make the sound more enveloping.

Range: -3(most rear) to 3 (most front)

Default setting: 0 (neutral)
