Sound Level; Test Tone - LG LHY-518 Owner's Manual

Before Operation (Continued)
PANO (PANORAMA)
This control extends the front stereo image to include
the surround speakers for an exciting "wraparound"
effect with side-wall imaging. It is particularly effective
for recordings which have strong left- or right-channel
elements in the mix, as these are detected and accen-
tuated by the Panorama process.
C WIDT (Center Width)
This control allows center-channel sounds to be posi-
tioned between the center speaker and the left/right
speakers over a range of eight steps. Step "3" uses a
combination of all three front speakers to give the best
vocal imaging and most seamless soundstage presen-
tation, and is recommended for most recordings. Step
"0" places all center sound in the center speaker. Step
"7" places all center sound
speakers, just as in conventional stereo.
DIMEN (DIMENSION)
This control allows the user to gradually adjust the
sound field either towards the front or the rear. This can
be useful to help achieve the desired balance from all
the speakers with certain recordings that may contain
either too much or too little spatial effect. Step "0" is the
recommended setting, which has no effect on the
sound. Steps 1, 2, and 3 gradually move the sound for-
ward, and steps –1, –2, and –3 move the sound
towards the surrounds.

XTS (Excellent True Sound)
You can enjoy the vivid stereophonic sound of the
digital original source without any signal distortion.
Each time you press XTS during 2 channel mode,
the setting changes in the following order.
XTS- 1 → XTS- 2 → XTS- 3 → XTS OFF ...
Tips:
XTS- 1: When playing the movie with the weak bass
sound relatively to the general music, it
enforces the sense of sound at woofer
for you to satisfy with.
XTS- 2: In the mode of 2 CH BYPASS, It creates the
high display effect by playing the sound
source via the rear speakers same as the
front speakers.
XTS- 3: You can operate both XTS- 1 and XTS- 2
simultaneously and it can complement the
relative degrading of the sound pitch of the
woofer at the XTS- 2 mode.
ote
The XTS- 2 mode is temporarily disabled when changing
from 2.1 CH to 5.1 CH and it is enabled when changing it to
2.1 CH.
