Tip
The receiver lets you to input the speaker position in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the center speaker further than the front speakers. Also, the center speaker cannot be set more than 5 feet closer than the front speakers.
Likewise, the surround speakers cannot be set further away from the listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no more than 15 feet closer. This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to the enjoyment of surround sound.
Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer than the actual location of the speakers will cause a delay in the output of the sound from that speaker. In other words, the speaker will sound like it is further away. For example, setting the center speaker distance
