	slightly different time. Telling the receiver how far your front and

surround speakers are from your listening position will allow the

	see will be FRNT for your front speakers. You can set the distance
	in a range from 0.3-9 metres.

When you are finished setting up the distance the receiver will return to normal operating mode after about 20 seconds. Alternatively, you can cycle through the setup mode options with the 2, 3 buttons until you return to the regular operating mode.

	surround speakers.
