LFE attenuator setting

• Default setting: 0 dB

Front speaker distance setting

• Default setting: 10 ft.

Sets the distance from the front speakers to the listening position.

•Use ’ or ‘ to set the distance of the front speakers from the main listening position (within a 30 foot range).

Center speaker distance setting

• Default setting: 10 ft.

The center speaker is normally placed directly in the front of the listening room and closer to the listening position than the front speakers. This means that the sound from the center speaker will be heard before the front speakers. To prevent this, set the center speaker distance setting to delay the sound from the center speaker so that the sound from the front and center speakers will be heard at the same time.

•Use ’ or ‘ to set the distance of the center speaker from the main listening position (within a 30 foot range).

When C is selected in the speaker setting, the center distance can’t be set.

Surround speaker distance set- ting

• Default setting: 10 ft.

Like the center speaker, you should set the distance of the surround speakers accurately to hear sounds coming from both front and surround speakers at the same time.

•Use ’ or ‘ to set the distance of the surround speakers from the main listening position (within a 30 foot range).
