distance from each speaker to

 

the listening position.

Press the [RECEIVER] button fol-

the remote controller.

While “Unit” is displayed, use the

 

 

Left and Right [ ]/[ ] buttons to

 

select “feet” or “meters”.

feet: Distances in feet. Can be set from 1 to 30 feet in 1-foot steps.

meters: Distances in meters. Can be set from 0.3 to 9 meters in 0.3-meter steps.

Use the Down [

] button to

 

select “Front,” and use the Left

] buttons to

specify the distance for the “front speakers,” then press the Down [ ] button to select the next speaker.

Notes:

•The Center and Subwoofer distances can be set up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) more or less than the Front distance. For example, if the Front distance is set to 20 ft. (6 m), the Center and Subwoofer distances can be set between 15 and 25 ft. (4.5 and 7.5 m).

•The Surround distances can be set up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) more or 15 ft. (4.5 m) less than the Front distance. For example, if the Front distance is set to 20 ft. (6 m), the SurrRight and Surr Left distances can be set between 5 and 25 ft. (1.5 and 7.5 m).

Speaker levels cannot be adjusted while the AV receiver is muted.
