PANORAMA

MODE ADJUST PANORAMA

The PANORAMA mode is designed for playback of stereo and matrix-encoded sources. PANORAMA uses proprietary Lexicon algorithms to move the stereo image outward from the front speakers, producing a wider stereo field with greater depth.

Sound quality 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.
