In this case, set the distance as follows:
Left front speaker (FL): “FRONT L <3.0m> (10ft)”
Right front speaker (FR): “FRONT R <3.0m> (10ft)”
Center speaker (C): “CENTER <3.0m> (10ft)”
Left surround speaker (SL): “SURR L <2.7m> (9ft)”
Right surround speaker (SR): “SURR R <2.7m> (9ft)”
Left surround back speaker (SBL) : “S BACK L <2.4m> (8ft)”
Right surround back speaker (SBR) : “S BACK R <2.4m> (8ft)”
NOTES
•You cannot set the speaker distance for the speakers you have
set to “NO.”
•If you have selected “SB OUT <1SPK>” for “S BACK OUT”
(see the left column), “S BACK DIST” appears instead of “S
BACK L DIST” and “S BACK R DIST.”

Setting the surround back speaker(s)—S BACK OUT

Register the number of the surround back speaker(s).
SB OUT <1SPK>Select when you use 1 surround back
speaker.
SB OUT <2SPK>Select when you use 2 surround back
speakers.
Initial setting: SB OUT <2SPK>
NOTES
•If you have selected “SML (small)” for the front speaker size,
you cannot select “LRG (large)” for other speakers.
•When “SUBWOOFER” is set to “SUBWFR <NO>,” the front
speaker size is fixed to “LRG” (and you cannot select “SML”).
•When “SURROUND SPK” is set to “SML (small),” you cannot
select “LRG (large)” for the surround back speaker.
•When “SURROUND SPK” is set to “NO,” the surround back
speaker is fixed to “NO.”
• When “S BACK SPK” is set to “NO,” you cannot select “S BACK
OUT.”
•When “S BACK OUT” is set to “SB OUT <1SPK>,” connect the
surround back speaker to the left surround back speaker
terminal (see page 8). No sound comes from the surround back
speaker if you connect it to the right surround back speaker
terminal.

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.
7Measuring unit—DIST UNIT
Select which measuring unit you use.
UNIT <meter>Select to set the distance in meters.
UNIT <feet>Select to set the distance in feet.
Initial setting: UNIT <meter>
