Setting up the speaker outputs

Configuring the digital surround processor

The next stage in configuring the 565 is to specify information about each of the speakers in your layout, and adjust their delays to time-align the system so that sounds are coincident when they arrive at the listening position.

To time-align the system

Before setting up the speaker outputs you need to measure the distance, in cm or inches, to each speaker from the listening position.

●As you measure each distance, write it against the appropriate line in the diagram opposite (or a copy of it).

Measure from the ear height at the listening position to the tweeter on each speaker (where applicable).

Then decide which speaker is furthest from the listening position; this distance is referred to as furthest below.
