position select

The SSP-300 supports four different families of settings for various listening positions you may use. The Position Select menu allows you to easily choose among your various listening positions.

For example, you might use position 1 to optimize the sound for the seating arrangement you use when watching a movie, but have a different set of levels and delays (position 2) for when you are off to one side, sitting on a couch and listening to music while reading a good book.

These positions are conﬁgured in the Speaker Setup menu, described in the next section of this manual. The Position Select menu described here provides an easy way to take advantage of these different conﬁgurations.
