Surround Setting Configurations
The items on the Surround Configuration menu enable you to adjust the parameter settings available for some of the Model 1070’s surround modes. In many cases the factory defaults are a good starting point, and you may wish to skip this menu during the initial configuration of a new Model 1070 and return to them later.
To enter Surround Configuration settings:
1.Press the MENU button on the front panel or the remote to display the Main Menu.

Night Mode
Night Mode controls the use of dynamic range compression that reduces the intensity of loud sounds and raises the level of very soft sounds, for example, when watching a movie with some whispered dialog followed immediately by a loud explosion. This circuit works only with Dolby Digital sources, playing signals received through a digital input. This circuitry is useful when listening to movies with lowered overall volume without reducing the relative intensity of loud sounds in relation to those with lower level.
To activate Night Mode:
1.From the Surround Config menu, press 
or 
to move the cursor to NIGHT MODE.
2.Press the 
and 
buttons on the front panel or remote to toggle between ON and OFF.
Select ON to engage the Night mode.
Select OFF to disengage the compressor circuit and experience an audio signal’s full dynamic range.
Panorama
Panorama extends the front stereo image to the surround channels, creating a more enveloping, wraparound effect. Panorama is a
To activate Panorama mode:
1.From the Surround Config menu, press 
or

2.Press the 
and 
buttons on the front panel or remote to toggle between ON and OFF.

Center Width
Center Width blends sound from the center channel into the left and right channels to create a more seamless front soundstage. Experiment to see which setting sounds best to you. The default setting of STEP 3 is a good starting point for many systems and types of material.
To adjust Center Width:
1.From the Surround Config menu, press 
or 
to move the cursor to center width.
2.Press 
and 
buttons to adjust Center Width anywhere from STEP 0 to STEP 7.
Step 0 provides no blending from center to left and right front speakers at all.
Steps 1 and 2 feed a small amount of the center channel feed into the left and right front speakers.
Step 3 is the factory default,
Steps 4, 5 and 6 begin to widen the front sound stage by feeding increasing amounts of the center channel into the left and right front speakers.
Step 7 shuts off the center channel speaker entirely. At this setting the left and right front speakers create a “phantom” center channel.
