MODE ADJUST PANORAMA

•Designed for playback of stereo and matrix-encoded sources.

•Uses proprietary JBL Synthesis algorithms to move the stereo image outward from the front speakers, producing a wider stereo field with greater depth.

•Depends on proper location of the listening position and front speakers. When the front speakers are positioned close to either side of the display device, the effect is produced over a wider area than when the front speakers are positioned at a large angle from the display device.

PANORAMA CALIBRATION

MODE ADJUST PANORAMA CALIBRATION

•The PANORAMA listening mode must be calibrated to take full advantage of its effects.

•For best results, it is recommended to center the primary listening position between the front left and right speakers as shown in the illustration centered at the top of page 5-13. Otherwise, the PANORAMA listening mode will be calibrated with various results.

Option/	Default	Possible
Parameter	Setting	Settings
SOURCE	LEFT & RIGHT	RIGHT, LEFT & RIGHT, LEFT
SPEAKER ANGLE	30deg	10 to 90deg
LISTENER POS	+0	-127 to +127

Calibration parameter descriptions begin on the next page.

To calibrate the PANORAMA listening mode:

1.Remove all obstructions between the speakers and the primary listening position.

2.Make sure the distances between the speakers and the primary listening position are properly measured. Then, enter these distances on the SPEAKER DISTANCES menu.

3.Sit in the primary listening position. If the primary listening position is not centered between the front left and right speakers, set the LISTENER POS parameter to compensate for the difference. Refer to the LISTENER POS parameter description on the next page for assistance.
