PANORAMA SOUND PLUS
AIWA’s unique PANORAMA SOUND PLUS system uses
“Satellite Speakers” driven by a separate stereo amplifier circuit
to achieve a wide sound stage and clear stereo imaging at the
same time. The PANORAMA SOUND PLUS system also
supplies “midnight listening environment” by outputting low
level volume sound only from the satellite speakers (AMBIENT
1/2 mode).
To display the current mode
Press PANORAMA on the unit or the remote control once.
The mode will be displayed for 4 seconds.
To adjust the satellite speaker volume balance (only
for “SATELLIT” or “REAR SP” mode)
En

or “REAR SP” mode and then turn VOLUME within 4 seconds.

•The PANORAMA SOUND PLUS mode is canceled
automatically when the headphones are plugged in.
•T-BASS, BBE or GRAPHIC EQUALIZER cannot be activated
in AMBIENT 1/2 mode.
SATELLIT mode :
Place a pair of the satellite speakers outside the front speakers
(see “PREPARATIONS”). The satellite Speakers output the
same sound as that from the front speakers with a 9 milli-
second delay. You can obtain a clear-cut sound image and
listening experience with naturally enhanced spaciousness
like concert halls.
REAR SP mode :
Place a pair of the satellite speakers behind the listening area.
You can mount them on the wall (see “PREPARATIONS”). This
creates a 4-speaker surround environment.
AMBIENT 1 mode :
Front speakers are deactivated so sound is outputted only
from the satellite speakers. If a pair of the satellite speakers
are placed at the bed sides, you can enjoy midnight listening
without the inconvenience of headphones.
AMBIENT 2 mode :
In addition to AMBIENT 1 mode, QSURROUND effect is mixed
so you can obtain good stereo imaging even if there is not
sufficient distance between the satellite speakers.
