Overview
Panorama 2 is a complete home theatre audio
system contained in one easily installed unit that
can be wall or table mounted. It incorporates a 5.1
channel home theatre audio decoder along with
front, centre, surround, and subwoofer speakers
and their drive amplifiers. An additional active
subwoofer can be connected and Panorama 2
will automatically detect its use and adjust its own
settings appropriately.
Panorama 2 incorporates four HDMI digital audio/
video interface sockets and one combined digital/
analogue audio input socket. The HDMI interface
sockets enable the connection of digital audio/video
sources to Panorama 2. One of them is specifically
intended to be used to connect a television. The
combined digital/analogue audio input enables
non-HDMI audio sources to be connected to
Panorama 2.
The Panorama 2 HDMI sockets specifically intended
for the connection of a television enables the video
element from other audio/video sources to be routed
via Panorama 2 to the television. If the television
incorporates an HDMI Audio Return Channel
(ARC), television based audio signals will also be
automatically routed to Panorama 2 via this HDMI
connection.
Panorama 2 is controlled by an intuitive front panel
user interface combined with a simple remote
control handset. Setup and configuration is achieved
through a simple menu based on screen display
using the HDMI connected television.

2.1 Panorama 2 Location and Mounting

The home theatre surround performance achieved
by Panorama 2 will be optimised if it is located in
the room approximately symmetrically between
two sound-reflective walls. Figure 1 illustrates two
possible room layouts. Panorama 2 can be either
mounted on a table centrally in front of the home
theatre TV or be wall mounted using the supplied
bracket centrally above or below the TV.
Note: A Panorama 2 setup function enables
selection of bass equalisation characteristics
appropriate to either wall or table locations. See
Section 4.1.
If Panorama 2 is to be table mounted the bracket
is not required. Panorama 2 may be either placed
directly on the table or raised using one of the
sets of feet supplied. To fit the feet carefully turn
Panorama 2 upside-down on the surface and screw
them into the tapped holes. Figure 2 illustrates fitting
the feet.
If Panorama 2 is to be wall mounted, the bracket
screw hole positions on the wall must first be
established. Use a spirit level to ensure the bracket
is level before marking the hole positions. Drill and
