PANORAMA
• Designed for playback of stereo and matrix-encoded sources.
• Uses proprietary Lexicon algorithms to move the stereo image
outward from the front speakers, producing a wider stereo field
with greater depth.
• Depends on proper location of the listening position and front
speakers. When the front speakers are positioned close to
either side of the display device, the effect is produced over a
wider area than when the front speakers are positioned at a
large angle from the display device.

PANORAMA CALIBRATION
• The PANORAMA listening mode must be calibrated to take full
advantage of its effects.
• For best results, it is recommended to center the primary
listening position between the front left and right speakers as
shown in the illustration centered at the top of page 5-13.
Otherwise, the PANORAMA listening mode will be calibrated
with various results.
Option/ Default Possible
Parameter Setting Settings
SOURCE LEFT & RIGHT RIGHT, LEFT & RIGHT, LEFT
SPEAKER ANGLE 30deg 10 to 90deg
LISTENER POS +0 -127 to +127
Calibration parameter descriptions begin on the next page.
To calibrate the PANORAMA listening mode:
1. Remove all obstructions between the speakers and the primary
listening position.
2. Make sure the distances between the speakers and the primary
listening position are properly measured. Then, enter these
distances on the SPEAKER DISTANCES menu.
3. Sit in the primary listening position. If the primary listening
position is not centered between the front left and right
speakers, set the LISTENER POS parameter to compensate for
the difference. Refer to the LISTENER POS parameter
description on the next page for assistance.
