Short description of error
In the Color > Multiply section,

This will increases the brightness.

The "increases" should be corrected to "increase" (drop the final S).

The Sound > Pan settings for rear-speaker setups really need an illustrative picture showing visually what the Pan does there, i.e. an image with 4 or 5 speakers in the typical setup, with either a circle or a semicircle (flat above = front left, center, front right, then a half-circle below it with the rear speakers set on its curve about diagonally from the center of the image), overlaid with key values such as at least 0 (front speaker / top of image), -1 (left front speaker / top left of image), (+)1 (right front speaker / top right of image), ±2 (rear speakers center / bottom of image), -1.5 (left rear speaker), (+)1.5 (right rear speaker).

However, the described settings seem very limiting. It would make more sense, and be much more straightforward, to replace it by a simple two-dimensional vector (x=Left–Righ, y=Back–Front), for with the currently described/implemented controls, how would one be able to pan between rear center, listener head, and front center?

Besides, the whole page has numerous comma mistakes (mostly missing ones, but some quite arbitrarily strewn in), but I'll better leave them to a native English speaker with good grammar mastery.

Just one example from the Sound > Pan section:

For stereo output panning works from left (-1) to right (1).

This becomes much better readable with a comma inserted at "[...] output, panning [...]".

(I shall continue with the Time section tomorrow.)
