xFront speaker distance

( L R DIST. X.X m)

Set the distance from your listening position to the front speakers (A on page 14).

xCenter speaker distance

( C DIST. X.X m)

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 on page 14) to a distance

1.5meters closer to your listening position (B on page 14).

xSurround speaker distance

( SLSR DIST. X.X m)

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 on page 14) to a distance 4.5 meters closer to your listening position (C on page 14).

Tip

The receiver allows 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 closer than the front speakers.

Likewise, the surround speakers can not be set further away from the listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no more than 4.5 meters closer.

This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to enjoy 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 m 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!
