SDP-3 Digital Surround Processor/Controller

Configuration
35
The PCM Effects are compatible with two-channel input signals (analog
or digital).
Panorama
Panorama extracts the natural ambience from recorded music and
moves it outward from the speakers, producing greater width and depth
of image and a feeling of enhanced spaciousness. This mode adds no
additional sound but expands the existing stereo image. Panorama also
works with Dolby Stereo movies, bringing the surround track outward
into the room.
The location of the front speakers and the listening position are crucial
to Panorama’s effectiveness and for best results your system and the
SDP-3 together should be set up and calibrated according to the
procedure in Chapter 2. The strength of the Panorama effect drops off
as you move away from the prime listening position, especially to the
sides. Video systems with the main loudspeakers spaced closely on
either side of a TV screen will produce a usable effect over a somewhat
wider area than set-ups with a large included angle between the
speakers.

Jazz
The Jazz Effect generates the appropriate early reflections for stereo
simulation of many different intimate spaces, and sends the reflections
to the front, side and rear speakers.
