MODE ADJUST PANORAMA CALIBRATION

To calibrate the PANORAMA listening mode: (continued )

3.Set the SOURCE parameter (next page) to RIGHT.

4.Begin playback of the calibration source. It is recommended to use a familiar stereo source.

5.When playback of the calibration source is in progress, set the SPEAKER ANGLE parameter (next column) so the sound is not heard in the left ear.

6.Set the SOURCE parameter to LEFT.

Note:

The SOURCE parameter controls the perceived direction of the sound, although both the front left and right speakers generate the calibration source signal.

SPEAKER ANGLE 10 to 90deg

Compensates for a wide or narrow speaker angle relative to the primary listening position. Select the setting closest to the angle between the front left and right speakers and the primary listening position.

7.When playback of the calibration source is in progress, set the SPEAKER ANGLE parameter so the sound is not heard in the right ear.

8.Set the SOURCE parameter to LEFT & RIGHT to confirm the SPEAKER ANGLE and LISTENER POS parameter settings. When the PANORAMA listening mode is properly calibrated, the sound should be perceived to come from all around the primary listening position. If this does not occur, begin again with step 1.

SOURCE RIGHT, LEFT & RIGHT, LEFT

Controls the perceived direction of the calibration source signal. When set to RIGHT, the sound is perceived to come from the right of the primary listening position. When set to LEFT, the sound is perceived to come from the left of the primary listening position. When set to LEFT & RIGHT, the sound is perceived to come from all around the primary listening position.

LISTENER POS -127 to +127

Compensates for primary listening positions that are not centered between the front left and right speakers. Each increment within the –127 to +127 parameter range represents about one-third of an inch. Refer to the illustrations at the top of the next page for more information about the LISTENER POS parameter range.

Note:

The LISTENER POS parameter range might extend past the location of the front left and right speakers.
