JVC RX-D206B Activating the EX/ES/PLIIx setting— EX/ES/PLIIx, <On>, Setting the speaker distance

Setting 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 Quick Speaker Setup on page 15, this setting is not required.
