JVC LVT1306-007A Setting the virtual surround back speaker, Selecting the main or sub channel

7Setting the speaker distance

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the important elements to obtain the best possible sound effect from the Surround/DSP modes.

By referring to the speaker distance, the receiver automatically sets the delay time of the sound through each speaker so that sounds through all the speakers can reach you at the same time.

•If you have used Smart Surround Setup on pages 16 and 17, this setting is not required.
