Press % or ﬁ to set the distance of the FRONT speaker from the main listening position (up to 30 steps).

CENTER speaker distance setting mode

Normally as the Center speaker is placed directly in front in the listening room, it is 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.

• Initial setting is 10 feet.

memo	• When “C∗” is selected in SPEAKER setting mode, the Center distance cannot be set.

	• One step equals about 1 foot (30 cm).

SURROUND speaker distance setting mode

Use to set the SURROUND speaker distance. Like the CENTER speaker position, the SURROUND speakers may be set in a location closer or farther than the FRONT speakers. Set the distance of the SURROUND speakers accurately to hear sounds coming from both FRONT and SURROUND speakers at the same time.

	memo	• Initial setting is 10 feet.
	memo	• When “S∗” is selected in SPEAKER setting mode, the SURROUND distance cannot be set.

• One step equals about 1 foot (30 cm).
