From the 2005 Version Update of the Orion 565 Manual, in the "Buttons" setup and definition Section: (Note- This works with EITHER of the two receivers, only one is required, and they may be separated set and used)
**********************************************************
?BinRX:? is the unique binaural Panoramic
Stereo? receive feature incorporated in
ORION. High-pass and low-pass filtering,
combined with time delays, produce a three dimensional
spatial sound from a monaural
audio source.
Panoramic Stereo? can be used for the CW
operator to automatically zero beat received
CW signals by listening in stereo. If the
signal is too high or too low for the CW
offset that the operator has selected, the
signal will be heard to the left or to the right
with stereo headphones. Tuning in the
signal for equal audio in both ears tells the
operator that the signal is zero beat and on
the correct frequency.
The CW offset you have selected using the
SPOT function (see explanation for button
30 above) controls at what frequency the
received CW signal is centered in your
stereo headphones.
Additionally, on CW, spatial dispersion
makes it easier to pick out one signal among
many. During a CW pileup, the operator can
more easily and quickly pick out single
callsigns from a number of callers than with
mono receive audio.
Panoramic Stereo receive also is usable in
SSB modes with the same effect. Signals
below or above in frequency will be heard in
one side or the other of stereo headphones
and when centered assure the operator they
are on frequency.
When selecting ?BinRX:? on the menu, you
will notice that the headphone settings for
?Left:? and ?Right:? will also change to
whichever receiver you have selected
Panoramic Stereo receive for. When
?BinRX:? is set to off, ?Left:? and ?Right:?
will revert to earlier values set by the
operator.

Sounds totally cool, kind of like the first time you use your smartphone for VR!
