Specifying speaker distances

To get the best from surround sound, itÕs important that the sound from each speaker reaches the listener at the same time. To achieve this, you need to specify the distance from each speaker to the listening position.

1.Measure and make a note of the distance from each speaker to the listening position.

2.Press the SPEAKER ADJUST three times.

ÒDistance SetupÓ then ÒFront:Ó are displayed. Use the DISPLAY button to select meters or feet.

To select other speakers, press SPEAKER ADJUST again.

3.Press PRESET/ADJUST repeatedly to specify the speaker distance.

You can specify speaker distances of between 1 and 30 ft. in 1 ft. steps (0.3 and 9 m in 0.3 m steps). However, the Front Distance limits the Distance of other speakers. The Center Distance and Subwoofer Distance must be within plus or minus 5 ft (1.5 m). of the Front Distance. The Surround Right Distance and Surround Left Distance must be no less than Ð15 ft (Ð4.5 m). or no more than +5 ft (+1.5 m). of the Front Distance. For example, if the Front Distance is set to 20 ft (6 m)., you must set the Distance of other speakers as follows: Center Distance, Subwoofer Distance: 15 to 25 ft (4.5 to 7.5 m). Surround Right Distance, Surround Left Distance: 5 to 25 ft (1.5 to 7.5 m).

4.Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all five parameters.
