It's very interesting how I can hear images not only in the centre but also slightly left and slightly right of centre
Mojo, what size screen and how far apart are you're speakers that you can identify the pan so precisely?
Two issues come to mind:
- if the speaker spacing is much more than the width of the screen then the dialog does not come from where the image is when far right or left. A pan across the screen is unnaturally wide ... it's unsetting ... it actually sweeps though the screen as you watch the actor walk 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 the distance.
- if the screen is small and the speakers are on either side ... then to detect a change in angle becomes difficult.
