• Power/Standby: Use this button to turn on and off system power. The adjacent LED is blue when the power is on and red when the system is in standby mode. While in standby mode, the system will still consume a small amount of power. To completely disconnect the system from the power source, use the master power switch on the back of the subwoofer.

  Surround Delay—The surround delay setting allows you to adjust the delay of the rear speakers to accommodate your rear speaker placement.
  
  Dimension (Dolby® Pro Logic II Music only)—Use this setting to adjust the signal toward either the front or rear speakers to achieve a better sound.
  
  Center Width (Dolby® Pro Logic II Music only)—This setting allows improved blending of the center and main speakers by allowing the adjustment of the signal so that it is heard only from the center speaker, only from the left and right speakers as a phantom center image, or from combinations of the three front speakers.
  
  Panorama (Dolby® Pro Logic II Music only)—Use this setting to extend the front signal to the surround speakers for a “wraparound effect.”
