PANORAMA: Extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side-wall imaging. CENTER WIDTH: With Pro Logic decoding, dominant center signals can come only from center speaker. If no center speaker is present, the decoder splits the center signals equally to the left and right speakers to create a “phantom” center image. The Center Width allows variable adjustment of the center image so it may be heard only from the center speaker; only from the left/right speakers as a phantom image; or from all three front speakers to varying degrees. DIMENSION: A simple control that alters the ratio of L+R to L-R for the two-chanel input signals. It allows the user to gradually adjust the sound field either towards the front or towards the rear. If a recording is too spacious or strong from the surrounds,it can be adjusted ”forward” to get a better balance. Likewise, if a stereo recording is somewhat too ”mono” or “narrow” sounding, it can be adjusted toward the rear to get a more enveloping, immersing result.
