7 Setting the speaker distance
The distance from your listening position 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.
