Specifying Speaker Distances

To get the best from surround sound, it’s important that the sound from each speaker reaches the listener at the same time. To achieve this, you need to specify the distance from the listening position to each speaker.

Setting the Crossover Frequency

To achieve the best bass performance from your speaker sys- tem, you need to set the crossover frequency according to the size and frequency response of your subwoofer and other speakers (front, center, and surround).

If you’re not using a subwoofer, bass sounds are output by the other speakers and this setting has no effect.

Notes:

•The Center and Subwoofer distances should be up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) more or less than the Front distance. For example, if the Front distance is set to 20 ft. (6 m), you should set the Center and Subwoofer distances between 15 and 25 ft. (4.5 and 7.5 m).

•The SurrRight, Surr Left, and Surr Back distances should be up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) more or 15 ft. (4.5 m) less than the Front distance. For example, if the Front distance is set to 20 ft. (6 m), you should set the SurrRight, Surr Left, and Surr Back distances between 5 and 25 ft. (1.5 and 7.5 m).
