3.2 Remote Handset

Before the remote handset is first used the clear plastic

insulating tab that prevents its battery from draining

must be removed. Follow the procedure illustrated in

Figure 8 and described below and to remove the

insulating tab.

• Rotate the battery cover anticlockwise 1/8 full turn

and remove it.

• Release the battery by pressing down on the edge

opposite the metal spring.

• Remove and discard the insulator.

• Replace the battery, first locating one side under

the small lugs opposite the metal spring.

• Replace the cover.

Figure 9 illustrates the remote handset and the following

paragraph describes its functions.

sound tracks and can be useful for late night

use when movie sound effects and music

might otherwise disturb others.

Pressing and holding the voice button for five

seconds or more switches Panorama into

2.3 Panorama Location and Mounting

The home theatre surround performance achieved by

Panorama will be optimized if it is located in the room

approximately symmetrically between two sound-

reflective walls. Figure 5 illustrates two possible room

layouts. Panorama can be either mounted on table

centrally in front of the home theater TV or be wall

mounted using the supplied bracket centrally above or

below the TV.

Note: A Panorama setup function enables selection of

bass equalisation characteristics appriopriate to either

wall or table locations. See Section 4.1.

If Panorama is to be table mounted the bracket is not

required. Panorama may be either placed directly on the

table or raised using one of the sets of feet supplied. To

fit the feet carefully turn Panorama upside-down on the

surface and screw them into the tapped holes. Figure 6

illustrates fitting the feet.

If Panorama is to be wall mounted, the bracket screw

hole positions on the wall must first be established. Use

a spirit level to ensure the bracket is level before marking

the hole positions. Drill and plug the wall for appropriate

screws. A second person to assist with marking holes

and lifting Panorama is recommended. Panorama’s rear

cover must be removed when it is wall mounted.

Use wall plugs that are appropriate for the type of wall

construction and ensure that wall, plugs and screws are

capable of reliably supporting Panorama’s weight

(10.6kg). If you have any doubt over your ability to mount

the bracket securely to the wall you should engage

specialist help. Once the bracket has been secured to the

wall, Panorama can be lifted into the bracket where it is

secured by lugs on its rear face engaging with key-hole

slots. Figures 7a to 7e illustrates use of the wall bracket.

3. USING PANORAMA

Panorama is simple to operate with all commonly used

functions on both its front panel and remote control

handset.

Note: Universal or “learning” remote handsets may also

be used to control Panorama. If Panorama remote

control codes are required for handset programming

cover, stand Panorama upright and gently push the

cover downward and away. Figure 2 illustrates removal

of the cover. Once the cover is removed, Panorama

must be turned upside-down to gain access to the

connection sockets. Ensure that the surface on which

Panorama is then placed will not damage its top

surface finish.

In addition to the mains and signal input sockets, a

subwoofer output socket and a service socket are also

present. Use of the subwoofer socket is covered below.

The service socket is not intended for consumer use.

Figures 3a and 3b illustrates and identifies Panorama

connection sockets.

Panorama incorporates a cable-dressing channel that

enables the input and subwoofer output cables to be

collected together and to exit the unit from the same

location adjacent to the mains power cable. To use the

cable-dressing channel, collect the cables together and

insert them in the open channel. Rotate the lever to

close the channel and retain the cables. Figure 4

illustrates use of the cable-dressing channel.

2.2 Connecting a Subwoofer

An active subwoofer can be connected to Panorama. A

subwoofer can enhance the Panorama experience by

providing extra impact on movie soundtracks and

extending bass response on stereo music programme.

The subwoofer is connected via Panorama’s subwoofer

output socket. Remove the connection cover as

described above and identify the subwoofer output

socket. Connect one end of an RCA phono cable to the

socket and the other end of the cable to the

subwoofer’s input socket.

Ensure that the subwoofer is switched on. As Panorama

handles the appropriate low-pass filtering on its

subwoofer output, the subwoofer’s internal low pass

filter should be set to its maximum or switched off.

Initially set the subwoofer’s volume level control to

between half and three-quarters maximum then fine

control its volume via the Panorama subwoofer level

setup menu (See Paragraph 4.1).
