SPEAKER SET UP menu parametersThe initial setting is underlined.x L R DIST. X.X m*(Front speaker distance)

Initial setting: 3.0 m (10 ft.)

Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the front speakers (A). You can adjust from 1.0 meter to 7.0 meters (3 to 23 feet) in 0.1 meter (1 foot) steps.

If both front speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.

x C DIST. X.X m*(Center speaker distance)

Initial setting: 3.0 m (10 ft.)

Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker. Center speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A) to a distance 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer to your listening position (B).

x SLSR DIST. X.X m*(Surround speaker distance)

Initial setting: 3.0 m (10 ft.)

Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the surround speakers. Surround speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A) to a distance 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer to your listening position (C).

If both surround speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.

x SB DIST. X.X m*(Surround back speaker distance)

Initial setting: 3.0 m (10 ft.)

Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the surround back speaker. Surround back speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A) to a distance 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer to your listening position (D).

*For models of area code U and CA, “XX ft.” is displayed.

Tip

The receiver lets you to input the speaker position in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the center speaker further than the front speakers. Also, the center speaker cannot be set more than 1.5 meters

(5 feet) closer than the front speakers.

Likewise, the surround speakers cannot be set further away from the listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no more than 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer.

This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to the enjoyment of surround sound. Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer than the actual location of the speakers will cause a delay in the output of the sound from that speaker. In other words, the speaker will sound like it is further away. For example, setting the center speaker distance 1–2 meters (3–6 feet) closer than the actual speaker position will create a fairly realistic sensation of being “inside” the screen. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround effect because the surround speakers are too close, setting the surround speaker distance closer (shorter) than the actual distance will create a larger sound stage.

Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound often results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!
