SETTINGS Menus (Continued)

SPEAKERS Menu - POSITION This menu allows you to enter the distance from your listening

position to the various speakers. The DMC-1 will then automatically

adjust and correct the speaker delay times. The sound from each

speaker should arrive at the listener seated in the primary listening

position at the correct time. Please note that the best sound

stage and imaging will result from careful attention to this

parameter, especially for the FRONT speakers. The procedure is as follows:

1) Measure (in feet and inches) how far each speaker is

away from the center listening position of your home

theater.

2) In the OSD menu, use the remote control joystick

arrow buttons to enter the distance in feet for each

speaker.

3) The DMC-1 automatically sets the appropriate

delays for each speaker so the sounds arrive at the

primary listening position at the correct time.

4) Use this table to record your speaker distance measurements

Speaker Placement Tip - There is no substitute for well placed speakers, especially in pairs and especially in the main front (L,C,R) positions. If you can place the main speakers equidistant (at similar distances) from the primary listening position, you will enjoy the most balanced sound levels from most points in the room. The farther away or closer the left speaker is from the listener (when compared to the right speaker), the more delay one will have over the other. Sitting nearest the speaker with a high degree of delay does not sound natural. Read more about speaker placement tips in the “Speaker Placement Tips” section.
