Introduction - Bowers & Wilkins Panorama Connectivity Manual

Introduction

Panorama™ is far more than a one-box home
theatre system. Its five audio inputs mean you can
connect a wide range of products to expand and
enhance your listening experience.
Whether you want to share audio from a device
that you normally listen to on headphones, improve
the quality of sound from your games console,
or listen to iPod video soundtracks in sumptuous
surround sound, Panorama provides an effective,
simple and stylish solution.
In this guide, we show you some of the
options you may like to try – how to connect the
components and how to control them. The guide
also provides technical information for those
wishing to control Panorama using a universal
remote control handset or when integrated within a
RS232 home automation system.
Panorama offers three digital and two analogue
audio inputs. One or two of the inputs will
probably already be in use reproducing your TV/
DVD audio leaving three or four spare. In order
to use these inputs you will have to connect the
source component (iPod, Games Console, etc) to
one of them and select the input by pressing the
Panorama handset input key or front panel input
button.
Panorama's two analogue inputs each comprise
pairs of RCA-phono sockets and its three digital
inputs comprise a single RCA-phono socket and
two TOSLINK™ optical sockets.
