CENTER speaker distance setting mode

Normally as the Center speaker is placed directly in front in the listening room, it is closer to the listening position than the Front speakers. This means that the sound from the Center speaker will be heard before the Front speakers. To prevent this, set the Center speaker distance setting to delay the sound from the Center speaker so that the sound from the Front and Center speakers will be heard at the same time.
