Set the distance between the center speaker and listening position.

The distance changes in units of 0.03 meters (0.1 foot) each time the button is

pressed. Select the value closest to the measured distance.

Example: When the distance is set to 3.6 m for the center speaker

If “Yes” is selected for “Default”, the settings are automatically reset to the default values.

Please note that the difference of distance for every speaker should be 6.0 m (20 ft) or less. If you set an invalid distance, a CAUTION notice, such as screen right will appear. In this case, please relocate the blinking speaker(s) so that its distance is no larger than the value shown in highlighted line.
