C WIDTH

(Center Width): Provides a better

blend of the front speakers by spreading
the center channel between the front right
and left speakers, making it sound wider
(higher settings) or narrower (lower
settings).

DIMEN.

(Dimension): Adjusts the depth of

the surround sound balance from front to
back, making the sound more distant
(minus settings), or more forward (positive
settings).

PANORAMA

– Extends the front stereo

image to include the surround speakers for
a ‘wraparound' effect.

Note

1 If the source is Dolby Digital or DTS, the corresponding indicator lights in the front panel display.
2 Note that when the tuner is selected, multichannel playback is not possible.
