PANORAMA:

In the PANORAMA mode, the sound delivered from the front left and right speakers envelops the listener to create a 3-dimensional sound space.

Press the 1/2 cursor buttons to set the PANORAMA mode to ON or OFF.

CENTER WIDTH:

This function gradually assigns the center channel components to the front left and right speakers. By assigning them in this way, inconsistencies in the tone colors between the speakers can be smoothed out.

Adjustment in eight steps from 0 to 7 is possible using the 1/2 cursor buttons.

This setting cannot be selected if NO has been selected as the center speaker setting.

DIMENSION:

The DIMENSION function is used to adjust level differences between the front and rear. Depending on the input source, some sound is heard more strongly at the front and others more strongly at the rear. When this function is used, the desired balance can be achieved.

Adjustment in seven steps from -3 to 3 is possible using the 1/2 cursor buttons.
