CENTER WIDTH : With Pro Logic decoding center channel signals can come only from the center speaker. If no center speaker is present this channel is split between the two front speakers, creating a "phantom" channel. The CENTER WIDTH feature lets you adjust the center channel so it can heard only from the center speaker, only as a "phantom" channel or in varying degrees of both. DIMENSION: This allows you to adjust the soundfield towards the front or towards the rear of your room. PANORAMA: This gives the music a wraparound surround feel. 3 Use the +/- buttons to add or subtract the amount of effect or turn on/off. CENTER WIDTH : Strengthen or weaken the effect between 0-7. The default is 3. DIMENSION: Move soundfield backward or forward with -3 being the furthest back and +3 being the furthest forward. The default is 0. PANORAMA: Turn on or off. The default is off.
