05Fine Tuning Your Surround Sound

Room Setup

This setup establishes the distances from your speakers to your normal listening position. It is important for the receiver to know these distances so it can output proper surround sound. Alternatively, you can make more precise speaker distance settings on page 29-31. You don’t have to do both, however.

There are three choices for speaker distances here. They are marked ‘S’, ‘M’ and ‘L’ but they represent the relationship between how far your front speakers and your surround speakers are from your normal listening position, i.e. the relationship in distance between the speakers and your listening position. ‘S’ should be used when your surround speakers are nearer your main listening position than your front speakers. ‘M’ should be used when all your speakers are equidistant from your main listening position. ‘L’ should be used when your surround speakers are farther from your main listening position than your front speakers.

Follow the instructions below to set the room type.
