● PANORAMA (Y or N):
Selecting PANORAMA mode will extend the
front sound field image to the rear. If
surround effect does not seem to be
presented sufficiently, select the setting
position [Y].
• The initial setting is [N].
● DIMENSION (0 to 6):
Selecting DIMENSION mode will shift the
sound field image to the front or the rear. If
the balance of the sound field image is too
much pulled towards the front or rear, the
balance front/rear can be corrected.
The adjusting value 3 is the center position.
The range of 3 to 0 shifts the balance front/
rear to the rear. The range of 3 to 6 shifts the
balance front/rear to the front.
• The initial value is [3].
● CTR WIDTH (0 to 7):
Selecting CTR WIDTH mode will adjust the
localization of the center channel between
the center speaker and the front speaker L/R.
Distributing the center channel sound to the
right and left will increase the integrated
sound field image, providing you with an
natural spatial feeling of sound.
Setting to the value 0 will produce the center
sound with the center speaker.
Setting to the value 7 will distribute the center
sound to the front speaker L/R as the existing
stereo sound does.
• The initial value is [3].

counterclockwise to adjust the value.
