Before Operation (Continued)

PANO (PANORAMA)

This control extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side-wall imaging. It is particularly effective for recordings which have strong left- or right-channel elements in the mix, as these are detected and accen- tuated by the Panorama process.

C WIDT (Center Width)

This control allows center-channel sounds to be posi- tioned between the center speaker and the left/right speakers over a range of eight steps. Step “3” uses a combination of all three front speakers to give the best vocal imaging and most seamless soundstage presen- tation, and is recommended for most recordings. Step “0” places all center sound in the center speaker. Step “7” places all center sound equally in the left/right speakers, just as in conventional stereo.

DIMEN (DIMENSION)

This control allows the user to gradually adjust the sound field either towards the front or the rear. This can be useful to help achieve the desired balance from all the speakers with certain recordings that may contain either too much or too little spatial effect. Step “0” is the recommended setting, which has no effect on the sound. Steps 1, 2, and 3 gradually move the sound for- ward, and steps –1, –2, and –3 move the sound towards the surrounds.

XTS (Excellent True Sound)

You can enjoy the vivid stereophonic sound of the digital original source without any signal distortion.

Each time you press XTS during 2 channel mode, the setting changes in the following order.

XTS- 1 → XTS- 2 → XTS- 3 → XTS OFF ...

Tips:

XTS- 1: When playing the movie with the weak bass sound relatively to the general music, it enforces the sense of sound at woofer

for you to satisfy with.

XTS- 2: In the mode of 2 CH BYPASS, It creates the high display effect by playing the sound source via the rear speakers same as the front speakers.

XTS- 3: You can operate both XTS- 1 and XTS- 2 simultaneously and it can complement the relative degrading of the sound pitch of the woofer at the XTS- 2 mode.

ote

The XTS- 2 mode is temporarily disabled when changing from 2.1 CH to 5.1 CH and it is enabled when changing it to 2.1 CH.
